Hopefully, it’ll produce an egg 😅. Next is QQQ but I can’t trade anymore today or I’ll be labeled as a “day trader”. Which I don’t even know what that means, just got a warning.

oh i think you mistunderstood me. I am just saying it pumped at the beginning of the day and we have been relatively flat at least on QQQ since 9AM central

greyenlightenment

DOGE ETH everything pumped last week crashing. tech stocks always the best. QQQ beats crypto, hands down

247drip

Word to the wise: don’t trade options on leveraged ETFs. There is no benefit as IV accounts for the levered nature. Just trade SPY and QQQ options. Same exposure to moves, much more liquid markets. And you’re all the way screwed lol

so i was wrong, MM isnt taking turns pumping big caps to keep the index afloat, they are trying to hit their 600 QQQ strike calls before dumping. question is will they push the index past 600 before fed lower rates or dump after annoucement?

MitchCurry

Finally hit the 31 day mark (on Saturday) for my BLSH IPO shares so I was just now able to sell (can't sell sooner as Fidelity may be restrict me from future IPOs for flipping). Got a nice 41% return vs. 2.7% for SPY and 1.5% for QQQ. Currently holding KLAR and GEMI IPO shares which I can't sell until mid-October. Feeling like I'll take a loss on KLAR and make some (but not as much as BLSH) on GEMI.

QQQ 600 tomorrow

austin5549

Sorry to hear that man! I’m going through the same thing. The best thing to do is just focus on your career and life, max 401(k) and ROTH in $QQQ and any extra just put in $SPY / $QQQ and just try and enjoy life. I wish I did this in my 20’s, but got so caught up in Real Estate Wholesaling, Private Money Lending, and Day trading where I lost even more than you. Lots of people joke on this site, but are actually here for their fellow man when needed. 🙏🙏

Iunatic

It's alright man I'm just giving you shit. But you should probably just buy SPY/QQQ/Mag 7 shares and stress less.

9th straight day of gainz for QQQ today

ItsyBitsySPYderman

SPY is way too tech heavy. Might as well be buying QQQ

NavyDean

What's the logic for QQQ over Spy? Qqq premiums barely move half the time and are heavily volatile the other half.

There's a reason it's called index and chill. If you're not retiring in the next five years, then you shouldn't care about reducing equity exposure and buying US Treasury bills or bonds. Ignore all the noise and always buy whether the market is going up or down. In the long term, you will hopefully see the average returns of VOO/VTI. When the market tanks, that's the rare sale. Our income is a little more than yours at around $388K combined. Wife had RSUs from 2022 to 2024. She never sold a share until after she was laid off. In previous years, our income was closer to $340K including those RSUs. We also had a paid off house since the fall of 2022 (though maybe not worth as much as yours since ours is around $600K). I cashed out an old pension around October 2022 for around $180K since my previous company was only expecting it to grow by 5% a year until retirement and the lump sum versus monthly payments until death all assumed 5% growth. I figured with VOO/VTI I could do better. I bought when the S&P 500 was around 400 and then it immediately dipped below for a few months. To give you some context, our investments hit $1M for the first time in June 2023. Exactly two years later June 2025 it hit $2M. This was a portfolio based on 85% SPY/VOO/VTI, 5% MSFT, 5% QQQ, and 5% BRK.B. MSFT was sold for VOO/VTI this year. I also worked part time for a startup and cashed out around $27K after the company was bought out. After paying long term capital gains taxes (I bought startup shares for less than $20, the most I could purchase), that money also went into VOO/VTI. This happened after we hit $1M in investments. There will be some future years where we may be in a recession. In fact, the yield curve inversion of the 10 year US Treasury versus 3 month US Treasury has predicted the past few recessions. However, these are the Black Friday sale times. How many years or months the sale lasts depends on the event. These are the times you want to buy as many shares as possible.

Existing-Sandwich205

The market-implied probability of QQQ hitting $600 by Wednesday’s close, based on the 598/602 call spread trading at $0.14, is approximately 2.8% to 3.5%. This low probability aligns with the modest 2.4% required move in a low-volatility environment, but the narrow spread pricing suggests even less conviction for exceeding $602. Note that far-OTM spreads like this often have wide bid-ask spreads (potentially 20-50% of the debit), so the true fair value could vary. For live updates, check options chains on Yahoo Finance or Barchart. If you have bid/ask details or the individual leg prices, I can refine further.

Therook310

What are the odds of $QQQ hitting $600 by Wednesday

giraloco

Yes but people ignore prices so they end buying high and selling low. Buying QQQ put options may be a better hedge than buying gold.

Midnight_Gamble

So... QQQ starts at ATH when markets open, continues to go up for an hour to bull trap and tumble down, then roam around 586\~587?

Why QQQ vs SPY? Asking cause I play SpY and TQQQ but never thought about QQQ.

coldshowerss

I use Merrill Lynch because that's where I have all my accounts (brokerage, 529, savings, UGMA). I have a mix of ETFs like QQQ and SPY and some individual FAANG holdings.

Always SPY and QQQ. These are the only ones that you’d be more right than wrong.

PidgeySlayer268

Yea this. The riskier the investment, the less you should put into it. My IRA consist of only QQQ and VOO

cleanbeandream

Higher upside with the individual stocks, more diversification and overall safety with the ETF’s. Depends on your risk appetite, but I’d say do the split, keep your stocks and diversify into an ETF or ETF’s such as VOO and QQQM (lower expense ratio than QQQ)

thomasand81

do you buy 0DTE for QQQ/SPY?

ptown2018

I have my growth in my Roth. I doubt that I will do as well as Peter Thiel but if I do hit something big it’s nice to think I won’t have to pay taxes. But even with QQQ compounding at 13 to 15% a year you can get a couple of million with 7k a year and 30 years of growth.

Puff_The_MagicRetard

You said you mainly watch the option chain rather than the charts. What specifically are you looking for. Like you wait ~ 15 min after open to let the market settle, wait for a resistance point and if it bounces off you take a put. I agree patience is key but, 1. How do you know which option strike price in the chain to buy and 2. What are you looking for in the option itself. Is there a price discrepancy where one strike price put will have a much larger gain % than the others. Also 3. How do you know it’s officially reversed and not going to push past. Is this why you only hold the option for about 3 minutes to only trade the short liquidity. I’ve been trying a similar strategy but mainly trading SPX instead of QQQ.

Typical-Breakfast-17

This is a huge debate and there is no perfect answer. Personally I just buy QQQ across all accounts. I do most of my action in taxable accounts so i can utilize margin.

blingvajayjay

Ye QQQ 1DTE 2% out of the money and cross your fingers for big moves.

MathematicianLumpy69

Even all the advice about VOO (S&P500 ETF) and QQQ (Nasdaq ETF)… with the market so high now, I might hold off til the market crashes a bit. Another approach, do a plan of adding $500 a week for the next 20 weeks. That way it dollar-cost-averages out, instead of trying to time the market. In the meantime, a mutual fund like TTTXX is essentially a high-yield savings account. You all assume OP doesn’t need this money for 40+ years, but the money might be useful in the next couple years for college expenses or other living expenses. With interest rates so high, using this money is a better financially than a 7-10% APY loan.

Electronic_Bee3134

Yesterday I posted about kids accounts, today I want to ask about my own account. US ex-pat, so limited to US ETFs but less of a need for HSA and the like. I have a local pension (functions I guess similar to a 401k) and don't make enough money beyond that to invest in both a taxable brokerage and also a Roth IRA. So currently in a taxable brokerage account but there's no specific purpose other than long-term growth. I have a provident fund from work as well which is separate. Currently it's a mess with no clear strategy, major overlap (I have VOO, SPY, and QQQ \[which I know is different but just based on weights has a lot of overlap\]). I'm looking at a long-term strategy of simplifying, though that will also require short-term figuring out the best way to do so without a severe tax hit, even though the account isn't so big (only $20K). I'm looking at an idea that would see: 1. 35% VOO 2. 20% VXUS 3. 10% AVUV 4. 10% BND or BLV?? (my emergency fund is held in my local, non American account, so not looking for something like SGOV) 5. 5% GLD?? (some type of hedge??) 6. Remainder on sectoral fund(s)? Right now, it's a mess. There's just so much of this and that sprinkled around and that's dumb (for me) because I want passive investment. I'm not looking to actively manage and constantly readjust. So even if what I wrote is a ton, it's still a massive overhaul and simplification. Maybe I need to sit with an investment advisor, but I'm curious if there's one that'll sit for just a couple of hours for a small portfolio like mine because I'm not looking to move away to a managed portfolio (for a variety of reasons).

Ok-Charge1983

Would you rather get VIX or $SQQQ calls or $QQQ puts

Ancient-Stock-3261

You’re basically holding the big dogs that already make up a fat chunk of SPY and QQQ, so adding ETFs just gives you built-in diversification without stock-picking stress. If you want low-cost plays, check out VOO for S&P and QQQM for Nasdaq—both passive, cheap, and solid long-term.

Striking-Block5985

Isn't the point to using SPX is that its cash settled , no assignemnt, and theta curve odte behaves different because it a 6500 underlying not a 580 with QQQ options and can be assigned on you and then can get in a world of hurt unless exit fast, only professionals should be tarding odte stock and etf options because of these risks. It like playing Russian roulette you will get killed it;s only a matter of time, I've seen it happen to many unsuspecting traders

Smooth_Operator2875

Yo. Are these 0-1 QQQ DTEs? How do you play them? Before you enter / exit ?

Iunatic

There's been an influx of poors making gain posts recently. Like some dude flexed his 4k, 16% YOY gain with an option strategy today. Congrats on underperforming SPY/QQQ with much more effort LMAO

Couayoro

Trading options != investing. If you want to invest set up automatic deposits into QQQ or VOO

shut_up_and_smile

The QQQ genie

Obvious-Light-2701

I think so. I’ve closed all my long hold positions with exception of gold and silver and have started putting together a crash cart It a cheap insurance policy for a 30% hair cut or more. JPM, Spy, QQQ. They have no place to go especially on a surprise 50 basis cut. I’m thinking market tank on good news, market rank on bad news and market rank on no news.

OhBenjaminFranklin

Buy option spreads. they have a built-in stop so you don't have to watch them. For example, a QQQ 9/19 put spread you buy for .30/spread then put in an order to close at .75 .

BeardedBrutus

Just $QQQ?

TheRealEnronExec

Is OP perfectly tracking QQQ with calls and puts for like 3 months?

Seattleman1955

I started with Schwab. That has my QQQ. I now have Fidelity for 4 individual stocks and my largest money market. I have Vanguard but since they won't let you buy IBIT I moved most of the funds I had in there out. I still have a money market balance there. The benefit is just operational, in that if the website is down at one, I have another one. If the policies are one are best for margin or options, it's good to have another. One the balance gets too big at one, I use the other for new investments. If the Fidelity balance gets too high I can transfer the stocks to Vanguard and then start new investments again at Fidelity.

RealMusicLover33

How do you trade QQQ like this?

_FIRECRACKER_JINX

that would be my position. I have 9/26 QQQ Puts riding on J-zaddy NOT cutting rates

BagelsRTheHoleTruth

I don't like playing binary events either. My puts are only 3.5% of my otherwise very long growth portfolio, and they expire at the end of the month. If we pump instead of dump, I'll be a happy camper, and will be able to sell the puts for probably half what I paid for them. If QQQ dumps 2% it'll help soften the blow. I'm not thinking it will kill this bull run.

# we will NEVER EVER EVER see these prices from April 25 in QQQ, SPY, MSFT, NVDA and so on AGAIN. I SOLD THERE. IF YOU ARE LIKE ME. WE SUCK BROTHER

crazier_ed

SGOV and chill? SPY and chill? QQQ and chill?

FranklinUriahFrisbee

There are a couple of possibilities. The S&P is up about 32% since April so some are thinking this might be a buy the rumor sell the news situation. If that happens, tech stocks will probably move the most so buy QQQ or XLK calls. QQQ or XLK calls would also be the bet to make if you were thinking that we might not get a cut at all. Finally, if you think the Fed might do a 1/2 point cut, buy puts in the defensive sectors - Consumer staples, healthcare, and utilities along with precious [metals.](http://metals.buy)

nithinbanti

Awesome. So you took QQQ long call at $204 strike and running PMCCs. Is that correct? Now since your PMCC is ITM you roll it but your underlying LEAP is getting more profit.

yodamastertampa

Check each one for its total return first. Then check for nav over time. If the ETF has a strong total return and the NAV trades sideways or slightly grows then you have a winner. For example check out QQQI and GPIQ versus QQQ and SPYI and GPIX vs VOO https://totalrealreturns.com/n/QQQI,GPIQ,VOO,QQQ,SPYI,GPIX?start=2023-01-01 These are all strong performers without nav erosion.

Substantial_Prune_64

Thanks! I've not tried QQQ 0DTE but I imagine it's a bit less volatile than SPX. Perhaps I should focus on QQQ instead. What do you mean by you do 50c trails? I think by c you mean calls. But what's 50. 50% stop offset?

niiiccckkk_

I prefer QQQ rn just because it's easier to scalp than spy rn, it's just cooling off to the side and keeps rising so i burns short cons

madmadison2002

Checkout the average Joe investor on YouTube. He’s done a lot of research on CCs and CSPs on IWM, QQQ and SPY. When trading options you define your strategy and try to stick to it exactly. Then you find out how much money you made. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND. CC and CSPs are low return strategies in general.

davurp

This is the way. What' your entry logic usually like for QQQ?

Drew_dang

Do you only trade QQQ?
