Hynix was bonkers, but burgers pooped, bullish lean was the right play with almost all sectors having massive October, especially after dovish FOMC, and even shitcoins from IWM bouncing where they were supposed to bounce. SPY is still at ATH, nothing changed, it's just a VaR shock.
Probably…. At least recover to 50% retrace… Tell you what though; today was organized selling.. The GREAT ROTATION! Leading the charge will be small caps (IWM) and but of course TSLER — you saw the relative strengthened in both….

Just bought IWM 277p and NVDA 200p
Sell-off moved to IWM since open. Selling small-caps to buy dip in tech?
IWM, SPY and QQQ options can be traded now with Robinhood. I’m able to buy/sell options pre-market.
Well those 200 IWM puts looking good this morning.
i'm gonna buy TLT calls again tomorrow and maybe IWM calls but I haven't checked the price on those yet. not sexy but should be easy money
IWM is still green. Apparently QQQ is the trash etf. 😂
bols gonna try to hide out in apple and IWM tomorrow.
Fun thing about all this is it's tough to sell this on being a macro fundamental thing at all when the RSP and IWM are continuing to do what they're doing. It's possible it's November 2021 again, except this time there's been years of above normal inflation instead of about a year, which has millions extremely frustrated. But honestly based on what I'm seeing, if QQQ closes where it is in the overnight, it's probably going to be another quick Trump flush like 18 or 25 with nothing huge panning out yet again.
why if IWM includes retail and other sectors excluded from QQQ?
Here’s to hoping my IWM $280 puts x 200 do anything tomorrow. 🥲
IWM on an 8 day short squeeze bender for no reason lol
Well, there goes half the IWM pump.
Gay ass price action for IWM just drop ho
Any logical explanation for IWM being up?
The Jews are fucking it up today. Manipulation of IWM

IWM keeping spy up cause I bought puts on it. My last 200 gambling dollars riding on IWM puts fuck it I am going down in style doing what I love the most, shorting IWM
IWM up is all you need to know
How is IWM still up afterhours
what's with IWM's regard strength
Not sure if the market will last today. Somewhat bored with pennystocks lately, so I convinced myself that it's double top on QQQ and IWM now. How bout gambling with 0DTE for a chance.
Bid/ask on IWM options is fucked up on Robinhood lmao
it is already on - but only SPY, QQQ & IWM are supported now
Get your trade idea only off the daily chart, be very choosy. SPY/QQQ sometimes don’t have trades opportunities so also watch NVDA AVGO PLTR IWM AAPL AMZN. Use indicator Saty Volume Srack.🇺🇸
IWM is absolutely ripping, small caps are the momentum play over tech even though tech is on sale as well
I think I need to get out soon and just go QQQ + IWM and then forget about it
$IWM! Stay on the cheap tickers! I know there’s ppl on Twitter who’s callouts for $SPY OTM are cheap but idk that cheap but def $iwm!
OIL MOONING AND $IWM GOING UP AT MARKET CLOSE ? :belt:
JUST LIKE GOD $IWM WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS :sorrow:
10% of port space, 10% in Semis, 2% in neo clouds, 15% in memory, 7% in Mag7 and then balance is index funds or staples - IWM and VXUS mostly. Still getting reamed.
this was the most calculated, scripted sell-off ever. Shit all turned red immediately after market open with no news and stayed red all day? except IWM. shit's fake as fuck.
IWM is shorted 30% spy is not.
IWM and SPY same price as the beginning of the month whereas QQQ down 5%. I am down 40% for the month. Buy neoclouds they said.
I bought a lot of SOXL and TECL. And also QQQ and IWM puts. And also QQQ calls. I don’t even know what I want to happen. Break even, I guess
Sure champ IWM primed for a run .
LULU, ADBE and IWM calls. The great rotation is here
Fkn IWM doesnt wanna die today
MA BOY $IWM IS SO CONFUSED WITH THE SITUATION :kek:

I guess I do. I My app has just never shown IWM options to move before 9:30am ET. 🤷♂️
WHY IS THE FUCKING $IWM GOING UP I HATE THIS SHIT !!! :shrek:
Unless IWM/Dow sell a bit more on the bell, this is a case of mechanics buckling, but not breaking. Also, you're welcome on META. ;) Kind of surprised though that things are worsening there.
There are huge differences between index options. I trade NDX options all the time and they are nowhere near as liquid as SPX. If you’re trading it or RUT, don’t expect screen market fills. And now I see it’s IWM, which is NOT trading the index options. You are trading ETF options. Hopefully by now you know the many differences. But honestly, it appears you’re in over your head here anyway.
IWM has been too strong today, there will be a reconning by tomorrow
Well there goes bonds and IWM. Suppose SPY is next.
Why the IWM spike/reversal? Any clues? NKE and LEVI affected. Kicked me out of my positions.
Hell yeah, caught that 1 minute IWM pump.
IWM is quite a shit. Bought 277 calls that were itm and got a slow bleed as welcome gift.
Tell how does IWM and DOW pull back exactly 10% and bottom
Not always, gold should be pumping when small caps are pumping. Otherwise now big caps are just safe haven. There is a big IWM/SPY divergence now
Very valid point... it was too complicated to do with as many positions that I had... Last week was brutal... I have just a few PMCCs and a few iron condors positions now.... CCL, SPY, QQQ, IWM,....
Do we think that was the bottom for the next bit on the IWM?
Im thinking itm IWM puts
Last peak of Bol Death Mountain formation on IWM. Last chance to take the money and run.
Don't be a panican. look at IWM it's just a healthy rotation
TLT up today along with IWM.
wild we can trade IWM options 1 hour before the bell this makes timezone differences so much easier to handle
72 contracts of the IWM $265 put (0DTE) printed at $0.03 at 9:32:31 AM ET at MIAX I also solved the puzzle for OP, the quotes were stale from Friday close, no it was likely Schwab data not updating from previous close. Nothing special about these options either, no sure why OP was trying to hide it.
"BREAKING: The New York Stock Exchange just launched extended-hours options trading, per CNBC. It covers 29 big stocks and ETFs, including Nvidia, $NVDA, Bank of America, $BAC, $SPY and $IWM. Starting Dec. 6, those names will trade 23 hours a day, five days a week." Stress Stress Stress!!! 😩
THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE JUST LAUNCHED EXTENDED-HOURS OPTIONS TRADING It covers 29 big stocks and ETFs, including Nvidia $NVDA, Bank of America $BAC, $SPY, and $IWM, per CNBC. - Morning session: 7:30 AM to 9:25 AM ET - Late session: 4:00 PM to 4:15 PM ET - Starting Dec. 6, those names trade 23 hours a day, 5 days a week
The only order that matches the scant info OP provided is IWM 265P x72 at 9:32:31.571 AM. The actual bid/ask at that moment was 0.02 / 0.03. At 4:15 options close on 10/16 that contract was 0.28 / 0.30, so they did indeed see a stale quote for some reason. The moral of the story is to not use market orders. Schwab didn't change the order ticket, that's just how market orders work. If OP could prove Schwab was streaming a stale quote they might be able to get some resolution, but that's probably not going to happen. Maybe try restarting thinkorswim before the market opens each day.
I had a quick look at the OPRA feed and the only order that matches the scant info you provided is IWM 265P x72 at 9:32:31.571 AM. Assuming that's yours, the actual bid/ask at that moment was 0.02 / 0.03. At the close on 10/16 it was 0.28 / 0.30, so you did indeed see a stale quote for some reason. The moral of the story is to not use market orders. Schwab didn't change your order ticket, that's just how market orders work. If you can prove they were streaming a stale quote you might be able to get some resolution, but that's probably not going to happen. Maybe try restarting thinkorswim before the market opens each day.
PSA: Starting today you can trade options on SPY, QQQ, IWM, GLD and a few others before the market opens. You can now trade them starting at 7:30 am EST, if your broker has the ability.
IWM investors been down for Months
