MAX

the_Q_spice

If you’re referring to the MAX, established manufacturers with *existing type certificates* can seek additional variants be added to the existing type certificate. That was the entire purpose of the MAX. It’s also why you don’t need a new type certificate for something like an A300-600 vs an A300B1, B2-100, etc. As a fun fact, the 757 and 767 are actually so similar that while they don’t share a type certificate, they share a common pilot type rating.

Buy leaps on NFLX 2028/9 youll be fine give it a couple months clear your head you can always sell in a few months. Intel should be interesting this march with their new foundry trump wants everything built here. Semiconductor have their hands in each others pockets I'm guessing the same will happen here some contracts one year out. The NFLX deal will keep you entertained for a while. Let 15k sit wait for trump to threaten some company with tarrifs and buy the dip 5k max. The Exxon sour crude news will take a while if it even pans out but you never know. I'm personally a big fan of HBO MAX solid f**cking content I hope they migrate to Netflix would make great content.

SLS and OKLO (not a penny) are hot picks QNC/QNCCF - up from my position of 0.7 to over $5. Great daily scalping but huge future potential QESS - linked with QNC and should see a continued draw down with decreased hype SCAN - need some news to see this run but I’m picking up 10k shares at a time thinking this is the low PMED MAX.V - highest risk small bet

Yeah, you're definitely not alone with this frustrating chart behavior — tons of people have been complaining about similar issues across various platforms, especially around the YTD (Year-to-Date) button acting weird and defaulting to or sticking on a 1-day (1D) view instead of showing the full performance since January 1st. This kind of glitch pops up surprisingly often in stock/trading apps and websites, and it tends to get extra noticeable at certain times of the year (like right around the new year transition, end-of-year holidays, or even just random UI hiccups). Since today is January 1, 2026, this might actually be extra relevant right now — the YTD period is literally just starting (only today's data exists so far), so clicking YTD on many platforms legitimately shows only the current 1-day chart (or even looks completely flat/blank on the very first day). Here are some common scenarios where people report exactly what you're describing: TradingView — This one has had multiple reports over the years of the timeframe buttons getting "bugged" where clicking YTD suddenly displays the 1D interval/chart instead of aggregating the daily candles back to the start of the year. Sometimes it's a temporary sync issue, browser cache problem, or even tied to how the platform auto-adjusts intervals to make the data "fit" on screen (e.g., switching to daily view but keeping 1D selected). People usually fix it by refreshing the page, clearing cache, switching browsers, or just waiting a bit since TradingView deploys fixes pretty quickly. Robinhood — Super common complaint here, especially around year-end/year-start. Users have posted screenshots showing YTD and 1Y charts looking almost identical (or YTD just showing today's movement) because the platform sometimes doesn't update the range selector properly right at the rollover. There's even posts noting how on January 1st specifically, YTD becomes "just today" while 1Y is the full previous year — it's technically correct but feels super broken if you're expecting the calendar-year view. Some also report it gets stuck until the app/web refreshes data overnight. Other platforms (Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, custom charting libraries like amCharts/Highcharts) — Similar bugs exist where YTD fails to include the proper starting point (e.g., ignoring Dec 31 close of the previous year or defaulting to recent data only). In some charting libraries, if you switch from MAX → YTD, it glitches and only shows the last few days instead of the full year-to-date range. What usually causes this (and quick things to try) It's January 1st (or very early in the year) → Totally normal behavior on most apps. YTD = Jan 1 to now, so until markets have been open for multiple days, it's going to look like a 1D chart. Wait a few trading days and it should populate properly. UI / Cache / Sync glitch → Super frequent. Try these in order: Hard refresh the page (Ctrl + F5 or Cmd + Shift + R) Clear browser/app cache Log out and back in Switch between mobile app and web/desktop (or vice versa) Force-close and reopen the app Platform-specific weirdness → If it's Robinhood, some people say it resolves after market close/open the next day. TradingView users often just click a different timeframe (like 1M) then back to YTD to "reset" it. Browser/system issue → Try incognito mode, different browser (Chrome → Firefox), or check if your device's date/time settings are correct (rare, but one person jokingly suggested changing the computer clock to "fix" a UI lock). If none of that helps and it's driving you nuts, it's worth reporting it directly: TradingView → Help center or tweet @tradingview Robinhood → In-app support chat Yahoo/Google Finance → Their feedback forms You're 100% not imagining it — this is a classic recurring annoyance in the trading world, especially when the calendar flips. Happens every year to someone, somewhere. 😅 Hang in there, and happy new year — hopefully your charts start cooperating soon and show those juicy full-year gains (or at least stop trolling you with 1D views)! 🚀 If you tell me which platform/app you're using, I can try to get more specific.

It is a great company that’s priced for perfection right now, but I would NOT be surprised if they continue to run further. They have a monopoly over mobile ad tech, but games industry analysts expect Meta and Google to look to take back share soon. Also ironically enough, their e-commerce pursuit may hurt their status with the gaming companies that they built their company on. E-commerce is making customer acquisition costs go up due to more competition with inventory. The stock also trades like a hedge fund hotel. Hedge funds just entering and exiting positions makes for insane volatility. With these negatives said though, the company is great and has a monopoly for a reason. They have THE best technology and AI platform in Axon. MAX was perfectly crafted as a great mediation platform. Leadership and culture is great. I expect them to maintain and service this advantage, but the valuation and volatility makes me hesitant to buy. With that said though, and echoing my first point, this stock could very clearly run up though

Boeing BCO Just feeling the vibes tbh. The MAX 7 and 10 are on track for certification and delivery in 2026 while the 777X is on track to finish most of its development work in 2026 with service entry in 2027. Production rates for the 737 and 787 are moving back to normal rates. Military orders keep coming. Disclaimer: I am not a financial advisor, nor is this financial advice.

Dude, you are wrong here. You need to quit talking about things you don’t understand All debris down to 10cm is constantly tracked by NASA. Debris down to 3mm is routinely (though not constantly) checked by radar. (https://orbitaldebris.jsc.nasa.gov/faq/) An explosion is not anywhere near enough to launch pieces into significantly different orbits. You are underestimating gravity and atmospheric drag. A brief explosion may fling debris a few km MAX, it would never ever go into any long term orbit from an original LEO orbit. Remember, rockets need to fire for 10s of minutes to reach higher orbits. A brief explosion would not do anything.

\- "THE ENTIRE AI INDUSTRY IS BOTTLENECKED" - nah. \- "THE WORLD IS AT MAX CAPACITY RIGHT NOW (demand > supply by multiple factors pre-ramp) AND THIS IS GAME THEORY on materials supply chains." this could be true but would like to actually see some numbers to prove it, I think the AI hype is (very very slowly) dying down a bit, after a few years of rapid expansion and investment. \- "Just to give u an example $AXTI -> $LITE -> $GOOGL TPU. without any of these members, the program shuts down" - except that Google alone could build out this entire supply chain if it was really needed. As you said, Google is almost 4 trillion. best case might be an investment by google in AXTI to send the stock flying higher, like they did with WULF

Only the numbers as stated above. I took part in both rounds at 0,10 and 0,30 and bought at market with with average of 0,47 so feeling pretty confident about the project. As for MAX they have a 2 year holding period on their shares so no selling pressure anytime soon.

Spreads are great for smaller accounts because it’s easier to be in line with your risk tolerance, but with a 50k+ account, he might as well just go single leg and have stops. What this guy did wrong was probably throw 75% of his port into spy calls with a mental stop loss, but then SPY sold off near the end of yesterday before he could sell and he lost everything. When people say risk only 2-3% of your portfolio, that means that any trade that you enter must have a MAX LOSS of 2-3%. Not a max loss of 75% “but I can just sell everything if I’m down 2-3% and it’s the same!” Like no man, you’re just playing Russian roulette with a Glock

To quote that thread: "It’s currently 1:37 from Vacaville to SF with morning traffic. Definitely will be days when it is a lot worse." I guess if that's your definition of an "affordable commuter town to the Bay area", we have different definitions of what a "commuter town" is... Mine is MAX, and I mean MAX, 1 hour from place of work (with rush hour/morning/evening traffic). Who the heck wants to spend 15+ hours a week driving/commuting to work?

Ohhh okay you did the math fr. 2BR, townhome. My office is the living room. Her’s is the small bedroom. If double wide trailers had fiber internet - I could live in one for a year or two. We spend MAX 1k/month entertainment. (I’m averaging our once a year roadtrip that we spend like 5k on, plus all the little monthly expenses like YouTube premium/twitch turbo. I could cut out the vacation, but then what even is the point of living just to be in pain day to day (don’t ignore the medical, those only get more expensive every year, mine just started early). We aren’t doing Christmas gifts because we don’t really want any useless shit. If we need something, we buy it. We don’t do needless spending like Christmas/ birthdays. Oh and the state garnishes my pay because I fucked up my taxes years ago (thanks crapto).

>Newer Toyota/Honda hybrids use the engine solely as a generator to charge the batteries. All propulsion is done by electric motors. Categorically false for Toyota. Toyota's Hybrid system is radically different than Honda's. Honda's is what you describe with what basically amounts to a plunger in the transaxle to mechanically connect the engine at highway speeds above 60MPH. Toyota's traditional (everywhere) hybrid system is an internal combustion engine and two electric motor-generators mounted to a transaxle and paired through a planetary ring gearset; what we know today as the eCVT. You \*CAN* get the common Toyota hybrid to run EV at highway speeds, but only under certain conditions and only for a very short span of time. Source: I own one now, and my previous vic was also a Toyota hybrid. The newer Toyota hybrids (iForce MAX series) mount the single electric motor to the point between the 8 or 10 speed automatic transaxle and the engine flywheel. Operation is otherwise normally the same.

All_I_Talk_Is_Tech

You make a great Point bro I understand that perspective I thought the same thing too I've been a Bitcoin maxi But here's my logic I'm about to get very technical ..... Bitcoin has about 10 check engine lights right now I'm only going to explain two of them in this post BTC can only do 800k transactions a day. There are currently 200M cold wallets. I was one of those wallets. If only half of everyone in Bitcoin TODAY, wanted to open either a lightning channel, or send money to sell on an exchange.... That means 100M wallets want to spend, when there are only 800k slots available on the network per day.... That means people would be forced to wait 150 days to spend what is in cold storage.... I never want to end up in a situation where I have to wait 150 days to access my money --------------- Reason number 2 for leaving Bitcoin It is 100% reliant on price doubling every 4 years to maintain security against a 51% attack This would not be an issue if BTC had a fee market to remove the crutch of needing to rely on block subsidies We have gone from flip phones, to AI In the same time Bitcoin has no fee market for maintaining security..... BTC security against a 51% attack is 100% dependent on price doubling every 4 years (19 CAGR AVERAGE) BTC has never had an issue with this, because it's market was small, so doubling in price is easy at a 1B 10B and 100B market But I have no idea how BTC is going to double in price every 4 years for eternity..... When the market cap is in the current trillions..... Basically..... BTC needs to rise 19% a year average from here on out, or security drops with each halving ................... This would not be an issue if there was a fee market Also all the corporations that are buying Bitcoin don't even use the base layer so they generate zero in fees BTC has 3 halvings left MAX to solve this...... I want no part in it I'm not interested in waiting 150 days to access my money I'm leaving before the line starts and people run the numbers And I'm not interested in having all my money in a ledger that NEEDS to rise 19% a year - that's an insane amount of risk

They don’t really care about HBO, what they are really after is the illustrious MAX brand.

Props to WBD CEO David Zaslav and his amazing ability to turn anything he touches to shit for making this NFLX deal possible. This guy's like the Warren Buffett of shitty media. Took Discovery Channel and made it constant Street Outlaws/Deadliest Catch reruns. Green-lighted the first Suicide Squad and The Flash. Made HBO change it's name from HBO, to HBO Now, to HBO MAX, to just MAX, then back to HBO MAX, all while filling it with shitty reality tv. Just an absolute magician of hot garbage. Congratulations David, I hope you make billions off this deal and never touch anything related to media ever again, your damage has been irreparable

zookeepier

The problem is that you can't get the full HBO library on HBO MAX. They pulled a bunch of their own shows (that they created and own the rights to) because they didn't want to pay residuals to the writers and actors. Seriously. Go on HBO MAX right now and try to watch [Westworld](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0475784). You can't because it's no longer on there.

El-Farm

Prediction: In 5 years the basic Netflix subscription will be at least $29.99/month and HBO MAX will be close behind it.

because the guy has 3 years MAX. he doesn't make these drug approval decisions. the FDA does. The FDA director said he wants to speed up these new ways of helping people. and rfk cares about vax not immunotherapy. different thing entirely for something foreign to enter the person's body vs something already present.

Competitive_Peace_48

Yeah, let me clarify that calculation. I use that calculation when determining my roll. 2-4% is really what the MAX you can make on the return but there will be times when the stock drops and the calculation is just making up the losses on the way up. I.E. If I own a stock at say $100 and it drops to say $70. I may write a CC at $75 and continue to move it up and out $80,85,90, etc. The calculation will show a 2-4% return but I am still typically in the red. But I always try and make a credit so I am making some money while the stock recovers (similar to owning the stock long term and waiting for recovery but making some $ along the way). As far as companies, those are solid. I do have both AMZN, SOFI (I'll get flamed for this but I don't like AMD. I just think they are riding the way of NVDA with an inferior product. I'd rather just own NVDA). I like to target companies with 25-50% IV that have good margins, cash on hand, etc. My main test though is if there could only be 20 companies that existed in the world what would they be? If a company doesn't fit into that question than I do a low allocation on it (for example, SOFI would not make that cut for me but AMZN would).

Inittowinit1104

Read about long straddles. If the vix is above 18-19 it will usually work out. Also unless it’s a clear path (like the last few days because of the fed cut) hedge. Buy SOFI DEC 12 calls for example and 1/3 the size in qqq Dec 10 puts. Might take some of your profit obv but you can sleep well every night. Or package trades. Long Nvdia (which is lagging ATH/Short Apple (ATH and low vol). Unless you’re absolutely feeling certain it’s one way in the next few days (like post tariff tantrum) these types of played work. Why keeping a list of 10-15 names MAX is best. You get a 6th sense about them after a while. Good luck. 🍀

I have no doubt about that, i am talking about corporate perspective. It seems that pretending nothing is wrong is better for companies, than actually admitting to an issue and fixing it. How many years did it take for Beoing to fix their MAX planes?

Lmao MM's, you cant rotate from tech in the middle of a bubble. The only reason SPY is above 400 is because big tech dragged it up here kicking and screaming. If you rotate out of big tech and confirm that it isnt worth its current value, its an admission that the stock market is just giga overpriced and no one should be buying this shit. Stick to your guns, either keep pumping your sham stocks or dump this bitch. SPY without big tech giga pumping is $400 MAX , so rotation aint gunna cut it.

If you lost today you need to read this. If spy only needs to move a dollar in either direction to wipe someone out then its going to do just that. It might surprise you to hear that only 1 in 10,000 traders today were aggro on calls. What im saying is, everyone who did buy calls, was letting them go very quickly and switching over to puts. This was happening all day. There were only about 5 or 6 big players swinging options - and every time they jumped in, they left with a loss. Im talking 0dte orders of 2000 near the money plays (not in) - the spy REACTED to these plays in real time and moved in the opposite direction every single time, instantly! But thats not all - even a mere 20-50 contracts have a leading impact. And the frequency of these plays are spread out enough to where YOU actually appear - like youre not surrounded by other traders making plays, YOU ARE THE PLAY - STANDING ALONE with a bunch of little kids running around doing 1 option at a time. I learned this by trading on lower volume stocks - where the market makers corner the legs on very small plays (like 1 NTM contract in BULL can determine where the price goes for a day). So what this means is, you cant put all your eggs in one basket. You gotta do small plays - be the kids and play 2 or 3 at a time MAX so you blend into the crowd. As for people buying leaps and monthlys - theyre the easiest to beat, becouse a 5% price swing over 1 week can ruin a big player on either side. If you think selling is the answer - youre right, but only if you can sell naked, so you need a lot of capital to prove you are worthy of such a play. Selling covered or cash secured is so meagre that youd have similar performance in most 401k's with higher risk at that point. My blackrock high risk port is up 28% YoY for reference, and that requires ZERO energy from me. If youre gonna play this game its okay to bet big, but bet too big and youre gonna get fucked.

I do, just wait for a dip don’t go in at market high. Test it out with small amt of money first and increase from there. I wouldn’t put more than 5% of my account MAX in it tho.

Because I want to park in a different place than FSD wants to. Because FSD in MAD MAX mode is coming up on a speed trap I know about. Because I suddenly need to go to the bathroom. I did 2000-mile trip in July with FSD and I just sat back and relaxed, listened to music while FSD drove me flawlessly. FSD now is even better than what I used in July.

To only make moves I feel very confident in and I did with this trade at the time. It was because after looking at the MAX chart for AMD and concerns about over evaluation in AI stocks and the possibility of a bubble beginning to form around the market, along with just other market factors, I took a longer term short position. This can just be a correction and continue upwards or start moving downwards again. But I really don’t feel as confident as I did when I bought the option after these after hour moves. May sell and just sit this one out because there’s mixed opinions on where the overall market is going but that can also be a big regret later.

inthehill

My thoughts, I’m 58 and retired when I was 49, throw your symbols on a chart and compare each one to VOO or SPY over MAX period because you’re talking about 30 years of investing. If you have ones that lay on top of each other, maybe they are too similar. Funds that have divergent during economic events maybe a good choice, but if they lag over the long haul, maybe not? Finally keep in mind the last 2-ish years were special due to AI, a good example is VOO vs IVOO. But so was EFA vs VOO this year

Why not do both?? Take 20k & play your moonshots, put the other 40k in solid investments & pay taxes on it(which at that level would be under 10k, maybe 15k MAX-if you're also a high income earner). Now you get your gambling fix AND pay less in taxes 🤷‍♀️

Under the non-prosecution deal, Boeing agreed to pay an additional $444.5 US million into a crash victims' fund to be divided evenly per victim of the two fatal 737 MAX crashes, on top of a new $243.6 million fine and over $455 million to strengthen the company's compliance, safety, and quality programs.

Fuck them. Their app is total garbage. The pushiness for MAX is gross, especially for those already paying for a SUPER subscription. Their AI features suck and are not worth paying for — but mostly their model is awful. Make a paid version, and a free one. Simple. Also, it would be nice to be able to tone down the immature animations and tone. It's so chidlish, which is really sad, clearly the app has potential to do great things for language learning, but it's really, really gone down hill. Their vision is total fucking trash.

if you're talking about us & market bubble, then it is only fair to compare bsvp to nasdq. 5 yrs return for nasdq is about 93% and well above 52% for bsvp. even the s&p500 return of 91% outperformed the bsvp. when comparing the lifetime return of bvsp of 275% as compared to nasdq of 7500% & dji (nyse) of 3200%, the advantage of the us market is clearly obvious.

Im not saying Airbus is uninvestable, or not an okay company. But when going through 500 companies, I have to filter out the ones that are not the best. I would invite you to look at ASMLs eps growth and invite you to reflect on why there is a big difference, and do the same for revenue. After this, you should see the comparison between the stocks: [https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AIR:EPA?window=MAX&comparison=AMS%3AASML](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AIR:EPA?window=MAX&comparison=AMS%3AASML) I would say that Airbus is no where near the quality of ASML, and I think most people would agree

It's like watching a dog eat shit. Your fractional shares and even most etfs (because they just add volume when the price gets too high) is just as cheap, if not less so than your options. You buy options because you want the leverage and MAX GAINZA not because it's all you can afford. Or you don't have the financial education to know the difference, which is even more reason why you shouldn't.

MoonLight8491

Agree with you. Besides that as a creative you may get help from AI but final finish you want your signature on it. You need those ADOBE tools, as was demonstrated at MAX. Besides, Experience Manager differentiates for enterprise use of ADOBE tools & integration. So far there is no commercial use of SORA creation to see law suites for infringements etc. Also there is no dent on revenue or margin and they are sticking to their forecast with double digit growth and cashflow positive for acquisition. Overblown hype by short sellers?

Not entirely sure how the whole: "it goes down when the dividends are paid" works since I invest on ETFS right now, Dividend & Growth etfs, but the price of companies don't necessarily go down all that much or if they do it might be for a week or so. Just basing this on stocks like JNJ, PG, PEP and ABBV. They only keep going up and they pay $1/share per dividend payout and their stocks don't necessarily go down one dollar for long. I do have reservations investing on anything thats on the red during their 5 year to MAX tenure graphs. Though if I'm incorrect I'd appreciate a clarification since that could help with deciding better company stocks.

No it doesn't. That mindset will destroy any real money you have. LOSING money is always worse than an opportunity cost. There's not way to time "MAX GAINZNZ". There's always the chance the stock could shoot up another 5 percent. If you go into a trade with that mindset, you'll always be chasing a mythical price that you're willing to disregard all logic to acheive. Stop losses, on the other hand, are very real and service a crucial purpose.

If you're hesitant about the market, you could always invest it in the iShares MAX and TEN buffered ETFs which will give you a capped upside (7-17%) with either 10% or 100% downside protection. A blend of SMAX and STEN would give you a buffer till the end of Sept 26. You can also ladder the target dates.

This place really does have a way of keeping a gambling addict foaming at the mouth. The game is rigged as fuck - so Naturally most of us will lose - The massive gain posts are always being pushed to the top of feed , again , not mad at the algos, but naturally, they are working as they should. For me personally, when I STOPPED blindly following people here, EVEN the plays with a 'good enough' DD etc, and really took a look at myself and my behavior when it comes to the trading, and instead of relentlessly searching for the right strategy on youtube etc, I looked at myself, and reverse engineer the strategy from there based on who I am and what I like. Personally, that is very tight and technical trades, I only trade tight dated options SPY, QQQ, TSLA, PLTR, and the occasional one off opportunity I might see, I only trade in the first 30 mins of market, I always enter trade with stop loss pre set, I make a MAX of 2 trades per day, Basically, I am a fucking ape, I love risk , i have been like this my whole life, I like seeing gains fast, but I needed to create rules for myself to be successful even in that high risk high leverage environment, now its simple, I follow the rules, I win, I violate, I lose, it takes a lot of the FOMO and the 'wish I would have held longer' mentality away. My average hold time on all contracts is about 5 minutes. When i stopped absorbing all of this fucking bullshit here is when my ALL chart turned to that beautiful green color we're all not so used to seeing.

MAX is the play

Every-Requirement913

That’s what I’m hoping but I’m act worried this will run to $5 or $7 which is madness but I’ve alr sold so im pissed. Im assuming its MAX a week of green then absolutely slammed into the floor by the men in black

MOONTOANDROMEDA

Cyclical as hell. Check GLD history. Always a 5-6% dip after a rally then a week - month later MAX back up. (This is what I get for buying the fuckin dip.)

Very good point. Understanding uncertainty (as best you can) is the antidote for getting comfortable with a stock like this. I owned Boeing after the 737-MAX crisis, thinking the company would recover quickly. Production halted, lawsuits ensued, the company raised capital and diluted shares, and the employees went on strike.. For more than a year it was bad news after bad news. But, I’m reminded why I invested, making wide body airplanes is a worldwide duopoly. And they have space assets and services, beyond manufacturing. It’s taken a couple of years but stock has bounced back considerably. When I was essentially breakeven, slightly above my basis, I decided there is not much upside here and sold out. Too hard.

Learn all about automated stop-loss orders! How to use them optimally is a study in itself - a very profitable one!!   Learn how to place trailing stop orders. Refuse to lose any more than 5% MAX - William O’Neil’s classic IBD advice - and Chris Manning’s, too, if I recall correctly.  Maybe set the stop-loss at less than 5% if it’s a high price-per-share of stock. Don’t place the stop at round numbers. Don’t worry about market makers manipulating the price moves to shake you out of your trade on purpose. Your live-to-trade-another-day safety is what’s most important! But don’t be oblivious to market makers shenanigans, either.  There’s so much good stuff to learn to keep your cash safe.  Btw, automated stop-losses apparently work best in the futures markets…which is super-liquid.  A profitable trader I met told me he considered his entire job to be “risk management”!! P.S. Probably bad advice, here, lol. Ignore me!😂😃🤣😅

Oh man, I've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well. But let me give you the brutal honest truth since you're asking for realism. ## The Elephant in the Room: Your Sample Size is Basically Nothing You tested from **September 9 to October 17, 2025**. That's like 25-30 trading days, maybe? Dude. That's not a backtest. That's a *vibe check*. You need to see this strategy through: - Major Fed announcements (FOMC, CPI, NFP) - [VIX spikes above 30-40](https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/.VIX) - Flash crashes (like August 2024's Japan carry trade unwind) - Circuit breaker days - Election results - Bank failures - Random Trump tweets that move markets 5% **Your timeframe literally caught none of these.** You backtested during what looks like a relatively calm period. That's survivorship bias on steroids. ## The Math That Will Kill You Let's talk about your risk/reward here: > "both wings together cost only 10% of the Premium that we collected" So you're collecting $2.78 in premium and spending $0.28 on protection. That means: - **Max gain per trade:** ~$2.50 (after fees) - **Max loss per trade:** Could be $20-50+ depending on strike spacing You're risking **10-20x your max gain** on EVERY trade. This is the textbook definition of "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller." Look at your equity curve - you're making $50-150 per day but your purple max loss lines show you could lose $1,000+ in a single bad day. **One bad day wipes out 10-20 good days.** ## Real World Issues ChatGPT Missed **1. Pin Risk is Your Worst Enemy** You're trading 0DTE options that expire at 4pm. If SPY closes near your short strikes (say within $0.50), you have **massive pin risk**. You might get assigned on one leg but not the other, leaving you with a huge overnight position you didn't want. Example: SPY closes at $580.05, your short call is at $580. You might get assigned on the call (now short 100 shares per contract) but your long call at $582 expires worthless. You're now naked short shares overnight. If SPY gaps up Monday morning, you're fucked. **2. Bid-Ask Spreads During Volatility** Your backtest uses historical mid prices. In reality: - Normal market: 0.05-0.10 spread per leg = $0.20-0.40 slippage per butterfly - Volatile market: 0.20-0.50 spread per leg = $0.80-2.00 slippage per butterfly When you need to exit a losing trade fast, you're paying the ask on your shorts (to close) and selling at the bid on your longs. **That slippage could eat 30-50% of your premium collected.** **3. You Can't Always Exit When You Want** At 3:58pm on a fast-moving day, good luck getting filled on all four legs at reasonable prices. The market makers KNOW you're desperate to close and they'll quote you garbage prices. You might have to: - Eat massive slippage - Let it expire and pray - Get assigned and deal with the consequences Monday **4. The Real Fee Structure** You said $1.50 per contract on Interactive Brokers. But there's more: - Regulatory fees (exchange fees, OCC fees, SEC fees) - Assignment fees if you get exercised - Margin interest if you get assigned and hold overnight Real all-in cost is probably closer to $2-3 per contract, so $8-12 per butterfly. That cuts your small winners even smaller. **5. Margin Calls Will Liquidate You at the Worst Time** Let's say SPY drops hard at 3:45pm. Your account shows a big unrealized loss. Interactive Brokers sees this and says "your margin is insufficient" and **forcibly closes your position at market prices** right when spreads are widest. You don't get a choice. This happens ALL THE TIME with 0DTE traders. You get margin-called out of positions at the worst possible moment. ## The Historical Precedent: This Strategy ALWAYS Blows Up Eventually Go look up: - **OptionSellers.com** (blew up in 2018, lost clients $150M) - **LJM Preservation and Growth Fund** (down 82% in February 2018) - **Rogue Wave Capital** (similar short vol strategy, destroyed) These were professional funds with PhDs and millions in capital. They all ran variations of "sell options, collect premium, it's free money!" **They all blew up.** The pattern is always the same: 1. Make consistent small gains for months/years 2. Get overconfident, increase position size 3. Black swan event hits 4. Lose 50-100% of capital in one or two days 5. Fund closes, lawsuits begin ## What Would Actually Happen in Your First Month of Live Trading **Week 1-2:** "Holy shit this is working! I'm making $100-200/day!" **Week 3:** Small loss day, -$300. "That's fine, still up overall." **Week 4:** Another small loss, -$250. "Variance is normal." **Week 5:** CPI comes in hot. SPY drops 2% in 30 minutes. Your shorts are now deep ITM. You try to close but spreads are 10x wider than your backtest assumed. You close for -$2,000. **You just gave back 3 weeks of gains in one trade.** **Week 6:** You reduce size, scared. Make smaller gains. Confidence slowly returns. **Week 8:** Fed announcement. SPY moves 3% in the last hour. You can't exit fast enough. Margin call. IB liquidates you. **Final loss: -$5,000 on a $10,000 account.** ## The Data Quality Issue You're Ignoring > "This Data is collected via Yahoo Finance" Yahoo Finance options data is notoriously bad for backtesting because: - It shows the last traded price, not real-time bid/ask - It doesn't show the actual quotes available when you'd need to trade - It doesn't capture the bid-ask spread widening during volatility - Many strikes have stale prices or no trading volume [CBOE DataShop](https://datashop.cboe.com/) costs $2K for a reason - it's the actual exchange data showing real quotes. Your backtest is built on data that doesn't reflect what you'd actually face in live trading. ## The One-Month Timeframe is Laughable You need to test this through: - The COVID crash (March 2020) - SPY moved 10% daily - The Volmageddon event (February 2018) - VIX went from 15 to 50 overnight - The August 2024 Japan unwind - SPY gapped down 3% in minutes - The SVB banking crisis (March 2023) - The 2022 bear market with constant 2-3% daily swings **I guarantee your strategy would have blown up the account in ANY of those events.** Go get free data from somewhere and backtest 2020-2025. I bet you'll see your equity curve has multiple -80% to -100% drawdowns. ## What You Should Actually Do If you REALLY want to trade 0DTE: 1. **Test on 5+ years of data minimum** 2. **Paper trade for 3 months first** (not just backtest, actual live paper trading to feel the executions) 3. **Size tiny** - risk only 1-2% of account per trade, MAX 4. **Have hard stop losses** - close at -3x your max gain, no exceptions 5. **Skip high-volatility days** - if VIX > 20, don't trade 6. **Don't trade around major announcements** (FOMC, CPI, etc.) 7. **Have an exit plan BEFORE entry** - know exactly when you'll close But honestly? **This strategy is a ticking time bomb.** The math is against you. You're selling insurance with terrible risk/reward. Eventually, the crash comes, and it wipes you out. ## The Bottom Line Your backtest shows this works in calm markets. Cool. Everyone knows that. The question isn't "does this work when markets are calm?" It's **"what happens when markets aren't calm?"** And the answer is: you lose big, fast, and without warning. If you have $10K to trade with and you're okay losing $5K+ in a single day for a chance at making $100/day, then go for it. But don't say nobody warned you. The graveyard of retail traders is filled with people who had profitable 0DTE backtests. **TL;DR: Your backtest timeframe is way too short, you're not accounting for tail risk, the risk/reward is terrible (risking $1000 to make $100), and this strategy has a 100% historical failure rate over long enough timeframes. It WILL blow up your account eventually.** Anyone else here blown up an account on short premium strategies? I'd love to hear war stories.

Yes, the 2008 crisis was a shitstorm pre-made in 2005 and 2006, where there was super high leverage on mortgages (bluntly said, many already know the story, or just look at "the big short" to get an idea of it). Until the "consumer" could not pay anymore, everything went fine, the economy was booming. Then, all went crazy and nobody took it seriously for a while until we realized we were fu*ked. Now, AI companies are circle-je*king themselves and are a great part of our economies. It's not fine for the magnificent 7 companies make over 30% of the S&P 500. This is absolute horsesh*it. As a lot of people invest into index funds, especially the SPY, this can go wrong for a long time because the money is basically never ending. There are little to no dilutions from MAG7 companies, but they are leveraging on their "value" and borrowing a lot of money to burn for some imaginary AI use. If AI makes all the money, who will spend that money to finance the economy if the people get replaced by it (as is being done right now)? The consumer is a big part of the economy, yet AI is basically detrimental to the consumer as right now it's taking our jobs away in an agressive fashion. Instead of companies leveraging AI for business and making people work with it, they make them work against each other. If people have no income, companies don't have any either. And someone needs to pay for a valuation in the 100ds or 500ds (P/E) of some companies. This won't be able to keep up for more than 5 years. So, in general: AI borrows and burns a lot of money, living on a promise of some extraordinary thing. Yet AI is already cool/great enough to be used, but the implementation is wrong in many corporate policies. They have no excuse for their leverage and will fail miserably. Imagine investing trillions in AI chips just to buy new ones after MAX 4 years... And your profits? No real profit out of that investment really. Please ask me again if you need some more opinions and clarifications ;)

When is MAX PAIN ?! 

Bigb4nman

This classic euphoria when you're doing well. You have some capital now so I would trim the size of your positions to manage risk.  Do NOT quit your job. These gains are not sustainable.  To continue to get gains like you have experienced would mean taking an inordinate amount of risk.  What DTE are your positions? Why not buy some more theta on your next trade with 10% of your total capital MAX. This way you can risk it all and not get blown up but still have a chance at locking in the aggressive gains you seek. You definitely don't have enough to live on safely. Not even close unfortunately.

BESS battery efficiency ratio is maybe 90%, aka 1MWh charged = 0.9 MWh discharged. And you pay the electricity transfer price and cost in between for charging, unless you charge with local wind/solar etc. Let's say you install 50 MWh site. You can use effectively MAX 45 MWh of this. with 90% efficiency, you get 40,5 MWh. Now on an average day, you could get 50 $ / MWh benefit, so about 2025 $ / day on average, even if on 'some days' it could be more. 2025 x 365 = 739 125 $ per year 50 MWh site costs fully installed, not accounting for additional operation and maintenance costs are maybe 6,5M$ minimum. My estimates are actually based on facts, I have experience in the industry and direct links to BESS container suppliers/manufacturers. This monstrosity has a 8+ year PAYBACK TIME to break even, not accounting for operational costs, maintenance costs, and estimated lifespan is maybe 5-10 years for this. Now, it's a bit different for grid frequency balancing (IDK if that is common US, it's growing thing in EU), but this is not what you highlighted in the post. BESS is installed because the grid operators, renewable builders etc NEED to to protect the grid and their investments, but it's not good for what you outlined.

Boston-Bets

I think that it's the "pay the difference to do so" that's the problem with his position. I think he'd roll up and out further, at no/low cost, if he could, but he's got himself too far into the hole, and OPEN moves up/down too fast. Jane Street is manipulating it for MAX gain (to them) depending on how they see retail playing OPEN options. Main reason I won't touch OPEN options any more.

Man. Your on the wrong track. Ive been in the GOAT academy for years. My portfolio is up 295% MAX. I just cashed out 13k in options today. Where did I learn all this........... The GOAT academy. Felix comes from a bit of wealth. You havent done any research, he has public information out there a quick google search will reveal. You get on reddit crying about not being able to trade or afford. You are making assumptions that have no basis in reality. The dude travels between countries all the freaking time. If you dont pay a premium for the knowledge, you will most likely not take it seriously. These are serious guys with DECADES of market knowledge. Stop crying and do research man. This is pathetic. Without the GOAT academy, I most likely would not have cashed out 13k today. He gives trends and overall market sentiment that I havent found anywhere else on YouTube. Not saying its not out there. He has access to information that only institutions have and use. The guy is legit. The GOAT academy is legit. Honestly, you sound like you want a get rich quick guide. The GOAT academy is true market knowledge, from some insanely smart and well connected individuals. Stop crying on reddit man. It looks bad.

How is the price already dicounted ? Are you looking at a 5 day basis ? The stocks probably fairly valued at $1 MAX, stop pedaling nonsense on NVNI. NVNI isn't anything particularly special

Do you stand up after losing 99% of port or borrow more and STAND BACK UP? LET’S GO RETARD MAX. GENERATIONAL DEBT OR HERO

LarryStink

2250 is the MAX profit, IF spx expires exactly at 6700. Its -1$ or 100$ for the options multiplier for every pt ± away from 6700. So if at expiration spx is at 6990 you will profit 1250$ and same thing if spx is at 6710. Its a way to gain cheap upside exposure and have a wide profit range. I would not trade this on spy, only cash settled options like spx.

aerohk

If you think deeper, there’s no reason to be upset. If you think that another MAX is to crash, now is the time to enter a short position, and wait. If you think that no MAX will crash again, what’s the problem?

I hope not. Bond bros deserve MAX pain for trusting their money with the US government

Bruh, Lockheed lost out on BOTH the new fighter contracts. The have the F-35 maintenance contracts and some missile stuff, but that's already baked into the price. They also have the upcoming F-22 upgrades, but that's a small number. Northrop is where it's at. B-21 is getting going and looks primed for a good long production run with room for expansion into EW and C&C platforms. (Boeing got the new air force fighter contract, but that's balanced out by all the MAX screwups, so that's a wash.)

You need to first pay off the credit card and loans, then 3 month cash reserve. After that MAX OUT INTO YOUR 401K into S&P500 (don’t do one of those dated funds! Only VOO or similar). This is something I wish I could tell my 23 yr old self.
