GLD calls tomorrow of IWM puts 🤔
IWM not doing much for 2 weeks. Financials completely cucked or 2 weeks.
IWM calls were this week's big fuckup. Going to keep praying for an sympathy pump after today's big-co earning and JPOWs speech.
I am >66% of volume on a specific IWM strike. 1 on 1 vs mms
IWM imo, buyer beware tho
Man I was all sad that I didn't sell my IWM calls at 266.5 but kinda glad I got out at 266 now.
IWM straight down, to hell I say
implied vol inflating in IWM calls, bigly
Today’s double was IWM puts at open. Why can’t I just know in advance?!
IWM priming for a bounce, perhaps
IWM net income growth is projected at 40% in 2026 that's why it's outperforming QQQ and SPY so hard this year
there's a lot of good plays that pay well. You just have to shop on a red day... the lower the RSI and the overall worse it looks, the better the puts shopping gets because it's when the buy side shows up. IREN, NFLU, SLV, TNA, IWM, CURE, AMZU, METU, TSLL 7DTE, 14DTE, 30DTE usually are writing at 5-12% return. the way it grows is just through compounding. you can exit as early as 60% profit just by setting an order that's GTC. It'll hit on a good day anywhere from 1-10 days later. repeat, repeat, repeat
Download CBOE historical data and you can see which tickets traded the most. On top of my head, SPY QQQ IWM IBIT. Forgot the ticker for the treasury ETF.
That run on IWM since 12pm is retarded
If IWM hits 230 I can retire at 73 instead of 74!
It will die a crazy (temporary) death on Jan 31. There is a massive debt wall incoming that will rock IWM
The only thing red in my port is IWM.
Dude. That was not a good idea. Don’t you see the IWM stopped its rally? Money is moving BACK into SPY from that. It’s rotating back already. Sell these. Now. You’re not going to get the drop you need. Get out & wait. Especially with the dollar down & Fed tomorrow? Dude. Stop.
Fuck IWM. It’s impossible to trade.
Can't believe IWM was red today.
FINALLY IWM JOINING DA PARTY (I’m in calls)
IWM wen follow upwards trend 😡
What a great day to go all in on IWM calls.
NEED IWM to close at $265 and I’m quitting my job
should have run my puts with call hedge on IWM. always gives you a clearer signal, but entries are illiquid
IWM head and shoulders forming. screamingpepe.jpg
Have a Feb 20 USAR call and some IWM calls that I'm looking to trim. Want to rebuild ballast and diversify ballast into gold and silver.
Oh it will rise again. Just a speculative / high beta type industry that will be hurt more than IWM in general
QQQ, IWM, maybe SPY.
I picked the wrong day to long SPY and IWM I guess I should long ROPE next.
There is a massive debt wall at the end of Jan (Jan 31 - Feb1). I'm gonna hedge my positions especially against IWM
AG long call since October, IWM calls, CLSK puts
Ag calls, IWM calls have me a triple up, CLSK puts gave me a double up RIO and PGE are signaling that their time is coming this year
AG was my primary gainer, 13$ call, then a 16, then a 21, will not being buying any more and planning on exiting silver exposure soon for defensive and consumer CLSK put bought as a hedge made me a quick double up IWM gave me a triple up
The thing is, these trends come and go, if you listen to people like Paul Merriman, for whom smoke up value is basically a religion, you will expect that they shit out perform in the long run. But clearly that’s not the case unless you’re looking at exactly the right period of time. I do like to understand relative strength, on every chart I look at I’ve got a indicator showing me what this chart/ETF has done against VTI over the past year, so I can understand if the trend is positive or negative and might continue to be even better or even worse. I personally do a lot of swing trading in my site account, so I might take a trade for a couple months if the trend seemed to be good, for example IWC: SPY or IWM: SPY. But if the trend went against me, I would try to get out, in that particular type of investing situation.
Mid caps and small caps have worked well if you bought in the past six months. VXF IWM the Russell MD or mdy etf.
I gave up on trying puts an IWM yesterday. Pretty cool.
lost 700 today because of stupid IWM. oh well. anyway. only good things ahead, like 24 inches of snow. adios.
Just stupid OTM 0 DTE calls on SPY and IWM
too late IWM too fucking late... if you go to 268 in 30 minutes it's another story, obviously
Heaven help me but I just bought IWM calls
aight IWM, you gotta bounce man. For fucks sake
IWM telling me I am fuk. No wonder my positions can’t catch a green candle today
IWM having almost a -2% day today is too funny. The Ol' reliable of the market.
oh well IWM spoiled a good week for me, no hope for 267 so I'm fucked
IWM up several days in a row. All markets seem primed to pump. Now the fuckers decide to dump
it is definitionally the collective of stocks that aren't good enough to be in S&P why would you ever try to be long IWM? if you think some stocks within the IWM index are going to do well, then invest in these stocks, not these stocks + all the other crappy stocks in IWM
IWM melting. What a fucked up day
I shoulda know the boys were targeting max pain on IWM. Smh
Now we wait for IWM to recover from the morning mayhem.
Mega caps are the new small caps. Get ready for SPY to do absolutely nothing for 3+ years, similar to IWM 2021-2025
Umm do you not see how much IWM and commodities are up
One of these days, those giant IWM red candles, aren’t going to just get bought up in seconds. They’re going to stay red.
Lmfao. Here goes the IWM fake red candles again. Jesus Christ. How can EVERY giant red candle turn green. How.
Hate being a miserable spiteful bear; but I want to see the IWM collapse so bad. The money can go into spy. That can pump! But I want to see IWM flip sooooo bad.
IWM going up 10% in a month. No way this keeps pumping rest of the year.
I wonder when IWM is going to have a bad day.. it’s been relentlessly leading the market. When market dumps it doesn’t dump & when it pumps, it PUMPS. When will money leave it? Who knows.
Man, IWM calls were the way to go the past month... Still upside there?
Up 55% on IWM puts bought today and 85% on oracle puts bought today. Sold.
Looks like Bull in Gold Silver MU SNDK IWM.
IWM new ATH after ATH UP ONLY 📈📈
>**Viewing this from an institutional lens...** ignore the "Turnberry Deal" suspension. That is just political theater. The market largely expected that deal to die the moment the tariff tweet went out Saturday. The real "Black Swan" in this article—and the thing that should actually scare you—is the **"Anti-Coercion Instrument" (ACI).** Most retail traders have never heard of this because it has never been used. It was designed for China, but pointing it at the US is a massive escalation. Here is why the ACI is infinitely more dangerous than standard tariffs: **1. The "Nuclear Option": IP Stripping** Standard trade wars are about taxes (Tariffs). The ACI is about **Property Rights.** * **The Threat:** The article mentions *"lifting of intellectual property protections."* * **The Impact:** If the EU invokes this, they could theoretically tell European generic drug makers, *"Go ahead and copy Pfizer and Merck's drugs; we will ignore the patents."* Or tell European tech firms they can ignore US software licenses. * **The Trade:** This stops being a "Soybean/Farmer" problem and becomes a **Big Tech / Big Pharma** problem. **2. The "Asymmetric Warfare" of the ACI** The EU knows they can't win a tariff war (The US buys more from them than they buy from us). So, the ACI allows them to target **Services and Capital**, not just Goods. * *Investment Restrictions:* Blocking US Private Equity from buying EU assets. * *Procurement Bans:* Banning Microsoft or Amazon AWS from bidding on European government cloud contracts. **My Take:** Watch the language coming out of Thursday's meeting. * If they stick to **"Retaliatory Tariffs"** (Bourbon/Harleys): **Buy the Dip.** That is standard playbook stuff. The market knows how to digest it. * If they officially invoke the **ACI (The Bazooka)**: **Short the QQQ and XLV (Healthcare).** * US Tech and Pharma valuations are built on global IP protection. If that cracks, the premium evaporates. **The Timeline:** The EU moves at the speed of bureaucracy. They meet Thursday. Implementation takes weeks. You have time to hedge. Look at **Puts on US Multi-nationals** with >30% revenue from Europe, and rotate into **Domestic Small Caps (IWM)** or **US Defense (ITA)**, which are immune to European regulators.
Speaking of, I've found that price action on IWM is far more predictable than price action on SPY. SPY is great, don't get me wrong, but IWM seems to have far fewer sweeps.
oh IWM sneakily hit ATH today while bers were berrin'.
I was holding 6 IWM $267cs expiring today. They went from $2 a contract to $125 a contract in 5 minutes. Sometimes you just get Lucky
IWM can't stop won't stop 300 🧲🧲🧲
Got an above expectations at work and saw IWM skyrocketed. God is good
I like how, in this low-volume situation, we can see MSOS chart mirroring IWM's almost 1:1, except for the fucking fact that we dump whenever we gets pumps up, whereas IWM holds them steady for the day.
So no one is mentioning this IWM rip? Up 2% in an hour
Unpopular opinion, but IWM is more fun to trade than SPY.
Been saying this!! End year will read “Year of IWM”
all about IWM nowadays SPY/QQQ sooooo much weaker
IWM new ath today? crazy strength
The us market has been rotating since September's rate cut. That doesn't mean dump us stocks in general, it means be cautious with mag7. Problem is the international markets have already taken their big gains (Korea?!). So international has its own risks and US is worth considering because of perennial strength of US consumer. Setting metals and financials aside, look at the sectors that have taken off: biotech, healthcare, oil services, even agribusiness. And we know it's late cycle because just in the last few weeks we see Consumer Staples. RSP and IWM are at all time highs but I imagine they will also be the first to decline before any big crash. (Bias, I hold CL, PG, MDLZ)
**Institutional background here (14 years).** This is the **"Retaliation Leg"** of the trade war algorithm. To answer your question: The market usually reacts to this type of news in three distinct phases. **Phase 1: The "Headline Algo" Shock (Pre-Market/Open)** * **Reaction:** Algos scan keywords: "Suspend," "Escalation," "Trade War." * **Result:** Futures gap down. The **DAX** (German Index) and **CAC** (French Index) will likely lead the drop, dragging US Futures with them. * **The Trade:** Expect an immediate spike in the **VIX** and a flight to the **Dollar (DXY)**. Paradoxically, bad news for US trade often pushes the Dollar *up* (Safety trade), which hurts US multi-nationals even more (FX headwinds). **Phase 2: The "Priced In" Calculation (Mid-Day)** * Institutional desks will ask: *"Does suspending this deal actually change cash flows Q1?"* * **The Reality:** A "suspended approval" is a political delay, not an economic tariff. It is a "Freeze," not a "Tax." * If the market already dumped \~2% on the Tariff threat (the "Rumor"), the suspension of the deal (the "News") might actually be the **Near-Term Bottom.** The market hates uncertainty. Knowing the deal is dead is "Certainty." **Phase 3: The Sector Rotation** Smart money won't just "sell everything." They will rotate. * **Sell:** US Multi-nationals with high European exposure (McDonalds, Coca-Cola, Apple, Tesla). If the EU retaliates, they target "Swing State" goods (Bourbon, Harleys) and Big Tech. * **Buy:** **Domestic US Small Caps (IWM)**. Why? A company that sells insulation in Ohio doesn't care if the EU suspends a trade deal. They are insulated from the Geopolitics. **My Take:** Watch the **EUR/USD** currency pair. * If the Euro *crashes* on this news, it means the market thinks Europe loses more than the US. * If the Euro *rallies*, it means the market thinks the EU has leverage. Don't panic sell into the headline. This is "Diplomatic Posturing" (The stick), not "Economic Destruction" (The stone). Not yet.
IWM trying to catch up on the downside
IWM is a safe heaven, unimpacted by stupid tariffs
IWM is apparently good as gold, better even. The leader of the free world and US economy is US small business, except... they are literally all closing down and no one can name a single company in the Russell 2000 kek. Nonsensical market just AI drawing whatever lines increase zero's in the MM bank accounts lol.
