Obviously missed the IWM / RUT losing the 50 day. You'll learn!
Just made 800% from IWM 280c thank you 🙏
how the hell is IWM V-ing? SPY should be V-ing instead
I’m looking on my phone so I can’t really tell but seems like the IWM hit the 200d ma and had some forced buying. 280c exp tmrw are 11 cents just saying
You need to learn price action and only take trades that have a Delta higher than theta which will be IWM and SPY most of the times.
Buy IWM , Bessant is going to keep propping it even if it takes a trillion dollars today cuz I bought one put.
Is IWM going to zero? Been drilling in a straight line past month, not even one dead cat bounce
Would have been nice to get puts on IWM when it was at 279
IWM close to the 200 you know what happens after
I love how even IWM likes higher rates.
SPY $755 10-12. Full port these expensive options and you’ll be golden. Exit whenever you want. Over the last couple of months I’ve been watching NEW contracts being opened on SPY going below $730. Numerous contracts at $755 being opened daily for weeks now. QQQ, IWM, etc all have been having puts loading up. Get in it be left behind.
Yields are going up why isn’t IWM going down for FUCK SAKES
rip IWM bulls i hope you all fucking buy calls on $ROPE next time
All because the 2022 and parts of 2021 rules no longer work and they really haven't worked for 4 years now. That 2023 stretch in like July-September (not sure exactly) had IWM struggling, but everyone else wasn't close to new bear lows. The general rule of thumb since the Nasdaq bottomed from its worst bear since the financial crisis (honestly worked then too, but the rate rules did as well), is that the most interesting bad market moments have come with the Dow/everything ex tech doing well while the Nasdaq lags first for some time. It's worked for three times now. This route otoh has NOT worked. Maybe things will finally change here, but I won't count on it until it occurs.
hilarious that IWM is standing up under these 10y yields. Do retards truly believe small caps can survive this lmfao
IWM chart full ‘tard pattern today
IWM is a National Embarrassment….get that shit index outta here.
Sameee I wanted IWM puts but missed it
i require the god emperor to smite IWM from orbit pls thanks
Market is open for 3 minutes my 283$ IWM calls already fried. I got hopeful with PCE and decent premarket
$SPY trading at 50 day moving average $QQQ trading 3% above 50 day moving average $IWM trading 5% below moving average If inflation comes tamer, IWM will moon
I got caught on that with IWM today. I should have taken the $70/contract gain I guess. It went down and floundered until 3:30 where it auto sold for a loss (Fidelity). I meant to to it, but got caught doing other things. Sigh.
More importantly, IWM is pumping! More breadth
Just short IWM literally any time it tries to get up off the mat. Free Money!
Its so nice to see IWM go down and stay down
Dear IWM. Die. Thank you for your matter to this attention.
slept past the alarm and IWM is green now dump ts please
I'm very tempted to "invest" on margin in a 3x IWM etf
I agree. I am pretty well versed in IWM and in a way that I can’t really tell anyone how, I just can tell what’s about to happen with it most days.
Need to stop playing SPY and IWM it’s like a toxic relationship I just keep coming back
I trade IWM momentum. Just scalping off when RSI goes high or low. $879 today, $9,300 the last three months since the PDT rule was taken away and I can actually day trade. I paper traded for about a year hoping the pdt rule would be taken away so I learned IWM pretty well. Small, consistent scalping while minimizing loss (selling immediately if losing more than $100 for me) is the key
Tell me why IWM isn't falling off a cliff rn compared to big tech. Yields should be nuking small cap rn
Fuck this shorting IWM why the fuck is it not down a lot already
IWM down less than tech in a rising rate environment is BATSHIT CRAZY.
Fwiw on the month: RSP -4.3% IWM -4.1% While the S&P and Nasdaq are green and the VIX is tame. It's as I said. There is stuff you can do to play it bearishly, but the games don't really have a shot at starting until it's the Nasdaq lagging, and the Nasdaq continues to not act on the 2022/parts of 2021 rules, it's other stuff that gets weighted down first on rate moves like this.
Can someone let IWM know that it hates higher interest rates the most out of the indexes?
Bought IWM calls, too cheap to pass up
oh wow. IWM Candle briefly green. who would've thought
QQQ and IWM poots PRINTED this morning. Happy trading, regards
Man, maybe IWM puts two weeks out is the way to go. Just let it bake.
IWM and DIA not playing ball....
I am SO EXCITED how I sold my IWM puts at a loss yesterday. They are up 300% now. So cool!!!
IWM $280 pls u fookin regard
I fucking hate IWM with a fucking passion. Should NOT be recovering.
I bought some ITM calls and hoping to lose money on IWM just to make sure that piece of shit doesn’t bounce back
not a TA person, but IWM seems to have support around $0
Do we bounce and chop or drop another .50 on IWM?
My IWM 286p are looking tasty
They’re hiding it 💯 So many people had puts on meta and spy. I posted week ago or whtvr about buying IWM and SPY calls and every comment was bear calling me retarted
maybe IWM gaps up tomorrow?
price action on IWM literally made me check my internet connection few times
I made $52 on an IWM put. Now I can afford a pound of ground horse for dinner!
No deal until after November means he's completely giving up on midterms, aka get your shorting hats on and short SPY QQQ IWM. Serious this time, there is nothing bullish short term
Damn IWM got no fucking sellers at all
IWM at 288 now bols need to calm tf down
Surrrrrrrrreeeeeee. IWM loves those higher rates.
even IWM is pumping another bad day for bers
Time for IWM to pop off so I'ma buy calls
Feel like we get a Shrek cock on IWM tmr
IWM will have a 3% day outta nowhere
I’ve got IWM calls and AAOI calls
RSP and IWM tell me everything I need to know about this rally
Where’s the guy that bought $20K of SPY and IWM calls last week?
Even IWM likes higher interest rates!! Who knew it was good for them too.
Eh so we shorting IWM at the open right? 10Y real yields still high as fuck and we just got tightening prophesized for next meeting. All we need now is some Houthis to do what they do best
Sell index funds (ie SPY, QQQ, DIA, IWM ,etc). Buy individual stocks you determine have real earnings and avoid those with fake hype earnings. People have manipulated the passive index formulas to line their pockets betting you wont look under the hood. This whole thing is predicated on the idea that retail is stupid and will blindly DCA into indices indefinitely. If the indices are boycotted then they will be forced to crack down on allowing this garbage which will in turn stop companies from committing this fraud because they wont be able to be in the major indices.
Nice work. It looks like IWM has been going down mostly lately. Are you betting things will go down?
Gonna do SPX next week. Familiarity mostly w/ trading IWM/QQQ/SPY. Put a decent amount of time looking at levels. SPX will be mostly new for me. Definitely gonna give it a go now though, had my first decent sized losses with IWM/QQQ/SPY the last 30 days and want to avoid wash sale.
Only thing that makes sense today is IWM
calls on GLD and puts on IWM
The Semis are what are catching a bid today. I have no idea if that will extend into tomorrow, but INTC, NVDA, and AMD all have had good looking charts. I like the look of GOOL with this pullback. MSFT is not so hot now that it seems to be losing the 20-day. AMZN is a mess. Wouldn't touch it until $235 if it were my money. I've been playing MU on and off, but I kind of hate it here. You've got about $20-$25 of upside versus $180 of downside right now based on where it's trading. AVGO is a dog's breakfast of a chart. I think I'd stay away until it can find a bottom around $315, maybe a smidge lower. If you're playing indexes, I continue to like the Qs more than the others right now. IWM and Diamonds are breaking down. Qs look a little more constructive than SPY.
Y’all think the guy who bought $10K of SPY and $10K of IWM calls held yesterday?

Got just a few qqq and IWM puts just in case it tanks from the q&a. Nothing that will make me rich or poor.
Of course IWM pumped on rate hike 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
IWM doesnt know where it wants to go next 1m candles are literally cancelling eachother out
Hold me degens I'm scared 40x290$ IWM calls
Honestly after IWM went up 1% same day that jobs came in 3x of expectations and hike odds went up 22% anything can happen. We might even pump into a hike
Despite IWM being lower then when I bought and eating 3.5hrs of theta it's at breakeven. IV is insane right now. They'd either suprise hold and I'll get tendies today or this shit goes straight to 0
Pick your poison on any ETF really SPY QQQ SPX IWM More leverage with stuff like SOXL or TQQQ SQQQ Or gamble on some specific tickers that get blasted on here like MU or classic stuff like TSLA
Suprise rate hold, IWM 3% spike, my yearly pnl turns green. Then I wake up
IWM will fall no matter the fed decision....Russy is too price sensitive
I need a rate hold and IWM to go apeshit bannana republic today
Imagine the fate of your portfolio being in the hands of smallcap index composed of pure shit to move 2% up on the day. Anyway yolo deep OTM overnight IWM calls might not have been the move
Well, IWM has seen some of the most un-intuitive price action this year. Pure retard power. 😄
