QQQ

FrankieWinters52

I'm proof timing can be everything as I bought QQQ near the top so my s and p is beating it by a large percentage yet.  I think that was a 2024 oops though

ResidentSheeper

QQQ has been in topping patter for a long time now. I would not bet on it mooning anytime soon. Everyone knows its a bubble and is ready to sell to lock in profits.

Fuck it my last $100 on QQQ calls

I predict QQQ goes up 10 more dollars and then bounces off its resistance level like a dvd screen saver

No_Arm_6582

Fair enough……. But exactly what “hedge for inflation”? It typically behaves like a leveraged QQQ. What’s bad for stocks is bad for BTC

Keep playing with QQQ 0DTEs. We look forward to a screenshot of your next car (‘85 Corolla).

Cant find the 1000 in the QQQ chain??

The puts are hedge against my leaps and long term shares. I will also buy QQQ leap call 6 months or a year out soon.

>Maybe i should just give up and buy spy calls like a normal person. Forget SPY calls, just buy VOO or QQQ, add/dca these whenever you have money. visit r/investing

raisedeyebrow4891

Bruh, just do LEAPs on SPY and QQQ. Can’t go tits up.

oneness_all

QQQ ran up from 580 to 625 all because market was optimistic about the rate cuts. Now is the time to take profits if you bought at those levels. I will be holding puts for end of dec.

Earlier conversation with someone else who trades TQQQ over QQQ for the greater extrinsic, but QQQ is far more liquid, also the dailies make it much more lucrative where Theta's always highest on the last day.

Kirko_Cousins

Tomorrow is day 2 of 0DTE QQQ calls at 10am. Going to keep it going if there's an opening dip. You guys never said it was *this* easy.

katrav86

LOL thetafuck day TWO. Made a couple grand selling far otm 0DTEs on QQQ and SPY. Notional risk be damned. Spreads are for bitches. ... on a related note, I still have no flair. thought I would point that out. As I wrote before, I have stopped begging for a flair because someone here said it does not work. I bet MODS are sitting on a pile of flairs that are worth nothing to them, yet they won't spare me even ONE of them godamnit fuck

rwc5078

Why would you buy optionS on TQQQ? Buy options on QQQ instead. Adding options onto a leveraged ETF does not give you leverage on your leverage.

80delta

Perhaps, but its the price to pay for a guaranteed entry. Its the cost of doing business. I'm targeting bigger moves so its not worth missing my trade fighting over a penny or two, meanwhile the underlying moves the way I thought it would trying for an optimal entry on a limit order. And now I have to pay 10+ cents more. There's less risk of big spikes with diversified holdings like SPY, QQQ, TQQQ. As long as Trump keeps his mouth shut and doesn't get on Truth social.

Fetch_93

I feel you. I buy weekly and daily contracts too. I’m more $SPY, $QQQ, $IWM now. Daily contracts and I’m swinging $INTC $43 calls exp 12/05. 0.33-$1.45 so far! I’m looking for $1.75, but anything close is a sale! It’s setting $1.20 now.

bush_killed_epstein

You're right that it often moves with QQQ/SPY rather than preceding them. After taking a closer look at its price history, I think it has pretty much no predictive value in bullish periods (as in, you can get the same or better results just by looking at short term EMAs of QQQ or SPY alone). However, where I think it really shines is in the beginning of a long term regime shifts from risk-on to risk-off. The kind of periods in which QQQ will give up 10% or more of its value over the course of a few months. Looking at my chart of SEI layered over QQQ since 2023, SEI only had large drawdowns when we were at the precipice of a larger scale correction.

Fetch_93

False reporting. CNBC received a confirmation email from Microsoft that stated that the sales target had not changed. It was an attempt by the shorts to drop the market! See not only did Microsoft fall hard but also SPY & QQQ fell hard too! My contract instantly went 0.33-0.66 this morning after the email came out.

TinyMavin

I’m with you and also on TQQQ. The spread can be pretty crazy compared to SPY or QQQ. I always fill like I just got violated when I place an order and it goes through for exactly my limit (without the adjustments). The worst when I place an order with a large spread and one side just slides right to my limit - “oh, I must be the only dumbass trading this”.

lemons714

If you are seeing slippage in things like QQQ or TQQQ, use limits. Typically, if I am trading a liquid, small spread name, I will use market orders, limits with others. Of course, "liquid" and "small spread" are defined personally.

Good_Ride_2508

How is QQQ green wtf

Rav_3d

Stop worrying about a correction because stocks are "too high." It's a bull market. We just HAD a pullback of about 5% in SPY and 9% in QQQ. Since then the market has held up. Sellers could not take control to move this market lower. Now probabilities favor a run to new highs. If you're in it for the long term IMO it would be a mistake to try to time a market top especially since you have such great entries.

PaperHandsTheDip

Just for a counterpoint - although drag exists - over the long term they do tend to drastically outperform as long as markets do go up over the long run. For a 5yr comparison (there was a bear market in there): SPY returned \~85%, SPXL \~222% QQQ returned \~104%, TQQQ \~166% \--- Over a 15 year timeframe, it gets more extreme: SPXL returned \~3600% SPY returned \~600% \--- It gets even more extreme if you go further back in time. As long as markets go up you're fine. If they go sideways for 10 years - you'll lose with the triple leveraged ETFs, yes.

been saying it everyday, the market is not going to selloff, just keep riding up and im a bear btw we have some of the worst news like TPUs, AI software, AI stocks credit swaps but the market is not selling off because it just obeys the algorithm of forming a double top in QQQ. moreover those overvalued junk stocks like RGTI, QBTS, MP, BTC, OKLO, ORCL are oversold and due for a bounce before a next leg down. just buy and hold till santa rally then start selling off before the real dump begins in Jan 26

Index based such as tied to broader market, tech or semiconductors how I roll. Individual stock carry too much risk unless blue chip with large cash reserves and history of innovating to stave off competition. Apple and Microsoft come to mind and yet holding QQQ contains both. ETFs the easiest I've found to diversify yet know they will rebalance if components underperform and need to be switched like happened in the DOW with NVDIA. Keep It Simple

Momentum Trade just the QQQM using 10/20 Weekly Time Frame. Like Metallica said, Nothing Else Matters. The QQQ has outperformed all other funds and indexes by far over the decades. The only funds that come close own the QQQ or stocks held in the QQQ. When DCA in to cash and not QQQ because fast MVA is below slow MVA fully fund held cash of all deposited funds when cross occurs. Buy and Sell QQQ at Crosses and your life will change faster than you currently expect it to.

Basically, they have some money, right? And instead of just using that money to invest, they are borrowing money (leverage) to use that in combination with their own money to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks, specifically ETF's and mutual funds. An ETF is a collection of investments like stocks or bonds. A mutual fund is when a group of investors pool money together and a fund manager takes care of it. The manager either buys a lot of diversified stocks (actively managed) or the fund just mirrors an index like the S&P 500 (passively managed). Every person owns a tiny piece of the money in the pile. Using leverage is a double-edged sword because if the market goes up, the money pile grows fast. If the market goes down, it shrinks fast. The measure of how amplified that difference is, is called volatility. High volatility means stocks shrink or grow fast, low volatility means its much more moderated. A leveraged position becomes more volatile because the more money you put in a stock, the more of your own money is put at risk. Let's say you put $10k on an ETF like QQQ (tech), half of your money being leveraged (borrowed money). That is 2x leverage. This means if the market dips 10%, the amount you lose is 2x that because your equity (the money you truly own, subtracting what you owe) absorbs that impact instead of the money you borrowed. So instead of you losing $500 on your equity, you lose $1k. When you leverage money, the broker you leverage money from will require a maintenance margin, which means your equity must always be at a certain percentage of total assets. If you go below this percentage, the broker will issue a margin call which forces you to deposit cash to meet the minimum or sell assets to reduce the loan. If you cannot do this, the broker sells your investments automatically. When you have a leveraged position, every loss you take is felt by your equity, which means you are much more likely to be issued margin calls. The equity itself is put at risk which means you're basically gambling your money for a stock position to go up when your leverage is as high as 3.2x (the leverage we're seeing in the post), even if the portfolio is diversified. EDV is interest-rate sensitive which means that the value of EDV becomes volatile when interest rates change. This is dependent on if the Fed (the federal reserve) fears economic recession or inflation. If they fear economic recession, they cut the interest rates, which offsets losses and allows some breathing room if there's a sharp economic downturn. But if they fear inflation, they raise rates, which amplify losses. Since EDV holds long-term bonds (25-30 years), they are really sensitive to interest rate changes, because the interest rates and bond prices move in opposite directions. The duration of bonds has a big effect on how volatile it is. EDV is a good investment when inflation and interest rates by extent is stable, but a horrible one when it's not. VFMF is designed to reduce swings by holding less volatile stocks. It's still doesn't eliminate risk because it can still face market-wide crashes. With a 3.2x leveraged position, this reduction in risk is mostly negated. VTIAX is an international stock fund, which means its exposed to foreign economies, currencies, and political risks. This means any exchange rate swing can amplify your gains or losses. This is less correlated with U.S. stocks, but it can still drastically fall in global recessions. VOO tracks large-cap American companies. It's pretty ordinary. VTI and VTSAX covers all American stocks, from small-cap to large-cap companies. Small- and mid-cap stocks are more volatile, and market swings impact VTI and VTSAX broadly. You can see that their portfolio reacts heavily to economic and political events. With 3.2x leverage, if some sanction results in a 5% total market crash, his equity (which is $5M) is reduced by 16% which is a staggering $800k loss. That's only 5%, and if they face a margin call, losses are much worse. This is why this strategy is precisely horrible.

Do you trade stock options or ETF options (SPY, QQQ)? And if stocks, what stocks fit your selection?

What my chatgpt told me about these trades Great — now that you’ve shared the screenshots, let’s reverse-engineer what this guy actually did and (more importantly) what you can realistically learn from it. I’ll be blunt and clear so you don’t absorb the wrong lesson. --- What DID he really do? This WSB trader claims: > $500 → $55,000 in ~2 months Return ≈ +11,383% Now look at the actual trades. --- Pattern from the screenshots (not luck — structure + aggression) 1. He is trading PUTS aggressively Repeated positions in: APP (AppLovin) PUTs BABA PUTs TSLA PUTs ORCL PUTs SPY PUTs IONQ PUTs GLD PUTs HOOD PUTs This tells you: > He is not a meme chaser. He is a volatility hunter betting on breakdowns. --- 2. He scalps BIG size, tiny moves Examples you can see: Bought APP PUT at ~7 → sold at 40 Bought BABA PUT at 0.68 → sold at 1.79 IONQ PUT 1.93 → sold at 3.75 ORCL PUT printed ~22+ These are: ✅ Directionally correct ✅ High leverage ✅ Held minutes or hours ✅ Sold into volatility spikes He is not holding for days praying. He is sniping intraday panic. --- 3. He pyramids size When early wins hit: He increases contracts Goes from 1–4 → 20–40 contracts Executes like a slinger, not a holder This is why account snowballs. --- 4. He cuts losers quietly Look carefully: Many cancelled orders. No screenshots of massive losses. (WSB rarely brags about losses.) Which implies: He cuts losers quickly Rolls forward immediately Always re-deploys --- 5. Risk behaviour: extremely aggressive He regularly: Goes deep OTM Uses short expiries Enters impulsively This strategy works ONLY when: ✅ volatility explodes ✅ direction is right ✅ position size is maxed ❌ One wrong week → wiped out This is not stable trading. This is: > Professional-grade gambling with technical skill. --- The BIG LIE in the screenshot "Yes it's possible, just gotta be lucky" No. This is not luck. This is: High directional conviction High risk appetite Correct volatility timing Aggressive sizing Discipline to exit on spikes But: ❗ It is INSANELY NON-REPEATABLE ❗ Survivorship bias is enormous ❗ You are seeing a winner, not the cemetery. --- The REAL lesson for you Do NOT copy this literally. Instead copy: ✅ What to steal Trade volatility, not hope Enter near breakdown points Exit quickly on profits Don’t wait for perfection Re-deploy capital aggressively Accept losing trades without emotion --- ❌ What NOT to copy Bet-sizing behaviour YOLO frequency Emotional attachment Casino-style doubling --- What’s the dark truth? For every trader like him… There are 500 invisible blow-ups. Reddit posts show the survivor. Not the graveyard. --- How YOU actually apply this safely Want to use these ideas and not destroy your account? Here’s the sane version: Safer version of his strategy: 1. Trade breakdowns on: SPY QQQ high beta stocks (TSLA, NVDA) 2. Only bet: 5–10% of account per trade 3. Exit policy: +30% → partial +60% → trail -30% → exit 4. NEVER bet account balance. --- Final brutal truth (said with respect) This guy didn’t create a system. He: > rode a volatility storm with jet fuel. It worked. It often doesn't. --- I’ll leave you with a powerful upgrade path If you want: I can help you build: ✅ a legal version of this strategy ✅ with controls ✅ with repeatability ✅ with survivability Not a screenshot fantasy. A trading method.

NDX is special - only trades PHLX, and only two market makers. It trades like utter garbage, not indicative of anything really. The pit there is absolute crap. The equivalent trade in QQQ is lost in the shuffle, no impact at all.

BigWarning8696

My option strategy has been simplified over the years, but has worked out quite well. I wait until the SPY and/or QQQ hits on RSI of 30 and buy 2 year leaps on my favorite stocks at the time. When RSI hits 70, I sell at least half or all of it. Rinse and repeat. Usually, you will get one or two opportunities per year to buy. In a prolonged bear market (i.e. 2022-2024) the strategy fails, but the overall risk/reward makes this a good strategy for me.

Generally TSLA is the king everyday, after that is a bit of a preference. You are generally going to have a rollercoaster with SPY and QQQ as well.

QQQ is almost just as bad. You could have thrown a dart at any mag 7 at the start of the year and outperformed all these lol

Noredditforwork

The index did exactly what it was supposed to do. If you want more of a tech bias, QQQ is up almost 22% YTD. Thinking that the SP500 index "failed to capture growth" means you don't understand what an index does and you don't understand the composition of the index.

$42 dollar move on QQQ in 5.5 trading days, wild

MutaliskGluon

Still up 30% YTD but frustrating as hell. QQQ and EOSE are correlated pretty well on a daily basis. Yet today and yesterday they completely snapped and I got destroyed on my shorts and longs simultaneously. Funnily enough, last time I did the Long EOSE short QQQ pair trade was Friday may 23... Then on monday EOSE fired their CEO, opened down 7% and QQQ gapped up 2%. Somehow the 2 worst instances of them diverging in the past 2 years were the only 2 times I had the pair trade on. So god damn unlucky its comical

MutaliskGluon

oh man my long EOSE and QQQ put pair trade got fucking eviscerated again today. My entire fucking portfolio down 6.5% in 2 fucking days. 10 straight days of awesome trades, getting a new ATH on the portfolio, then 2 days to undo it all. Brutal

I think in the past 5 years that buying $1 OTM 1dte calls at 3:05-3:10 for the next day based on the SPY or QQQ closing price regardless of day to day price movements would have yielded about 600% returns over that time period. You would just be setting limit sells at double the contract price and rinse and repeat
