When QQQ trades sideways lol how are you down on both a call and a put? 😆
Thanks, I'm starting to trade 0DTE QQQ options but I dedicated less than 1% of my long term investment bag to that. So far it's going pretty well. I'm wondering if I can keep it up or if I'm going to blow it all away. If I blow it up, then no harm done and I can be sure that trading options is not for me.
:popcorn: went to sleep and saw the market was very green. QQQ was like 1.15%. Woke up for a quick water to see everything red. Did Trump strike Iran or something?
Just for today? I’m not that good at day trading. If you want to talk positioning on indexes, it’s looking pretty negative today/tomorrow, improves next week and then it’s bad from 9th until month-end, which aligns with usual liquidity drains right before mid-terms (political uncertainty). I have QQQ 750/710 put spreads for 10/30. It’s possible we see -5% on QQQ this month, and then a big recovery into YE once earnings are very positive and mid-terms pass. I don’t have much else atm
People talking about a market crash while SPY and QQQ are green and 2% from ATH. Imagine what an actual drawdown would make this sub.

This. I feel like most new options traders love the income part of (it is exciting to see cash drop into your account) but failed to realize their RoR. You're better off investing the capital in SPY/QQQ than trying to compete with them.
On October 1st at 12:28 AM, QQQ became self-aware
KOSPI QQQ ripping ass rn
:feetswing: Everything is green AH rn. SP 0.60%, QQQ 1.04%, SNDK 2.25%, MU 0.98%, lots of individual stocks are up 1-3%. Just hope they instantly dump at open, then recover
It is my pleasure to let you know QQQ has reached ATH right now.
How long before QQQ overtakes spy
QQQ is ripping bums rn stop going up

1. Stay away from 0DTE for now. Give yourself some time—at least 3–5 DTE. You can still sell the premium the same day or the next day if the trade moves in your favor, but you’re giving yourself more room to be wrong on timing. 2. If trading ETFs like SPY or QQQ isn’t working for you, consider focusing on individual companies where you actually have a thesis. Maybe there’s an upcoming earnings report, product launch, or other catalyst that could move the stock. The point is to have a clear reason for entering the trade instead of just guessing which direction the overall market will go. Betting on the entire market through SPY, QQQ, etc. isn’t always the right move. And if you look at the market and can’t find a trade you genuinely feel confident about, don’t force one. Sometimes the best trade is no trade. Making $0 that day is a hell of a lot better than blowing up your account because you felt like you had to be in something.
A 1% gap up on QQQ might send the bears into psychosis
Why don’t you trade something slower than QQQ options?
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.
QQQ ATH EOD, SPY ATH next week

QQQ, even if there's a crash in the middle.
I like all of the tech stock picks that you mentioned. I've had positions in all of those at times, with a core of index funds. You could go with a core of QQQ if you want to still sit higher on the risk curve. QQQ is of course going to overlap heavily with your existing holdings. I'm not much of a BTC guy. I've dabbled but I get that you want to stick with the horse that brought you.
It's January 2029. $QQQ is at $1000. Yields are at 0.5%. No one has cash anymore. Gold is at $6000. Burry and every last bear has been buried. Everything is normal but on random Monday, February 2029, market crashes 50% due to stunning insider news about AI bubble popping obviously manufactured by institutions. $QQQ goes to $500 , Gold is at $3500 , 🌽 at $11000 what would you sell first if you had no cash?
It's a market. Every buy has to be matched up with someone else selling. So you cannot just have more people buying. The number of sellers and buyers always match up. The reason why price goes up or down is because when buyers or sellers buy or sell at those prices. The price is where the last trade was executed. So if I decided to buy 1 share of $QQQ for $1000 (it's currently at \~$740), and someone else will sell it to be for $1000 (which they definitely would), then QQQ's price becomes $1000. Which means by me trading 1 share, I've managed to make every share of QQQ out there worth $1000 each. Which might be billions of dollars of market cap increase. Of course it will stay that price for only a moment, until the next trade happens.
Well rates were up today and oil was up today so expecting the QQQ to be down today was a pretty fair bet to make
Went to bed at QQQ +0.92%. What happened before market close? Did 🥭 say something regarded again?
The problem is that you externalize help. Nobody can help you. Nobody. You are VERY lucky that you’re young. Take that knowledge and turn the script. Forget making money, just forget the losses and focus on your life. Walk away from “trading”. And if you ever trade again, just buy VOO. QQQ is dead for you. Dead. Understand?
QQQ new ATH tomorrow
He sold the $734 call (ITM) and bought the $739 (OTM); probably close to the same premium on both side, so was hoping to earn some or all of the extrinsic in the short contract if QQQ sold down today. But it went up, so this became close to a max loss.
+17% YTD from day/swing trading Could have shoved it in QQQ on Jan 1st and beat that FML
SPY over 770, QQQ ATH? Just asking for a friend.
Are my 744 QQQ calls cooked or not what’s the deal with MU now that the dust has settled
Maybe I’ll switch to scalping QQQ options instead of SPY. I probably shouldn’t though, always get killed on QQQ options.
Somewhere in between? What really set me apart was not being afraid to go against conventional wisdom. Loaded up on QQQ instead of SPY early on, also played with 2x QQQ a bit. I’ve gotten a bit more conservative lately, but my opinion is a little bit of leverage (no more than \~10%) isn’t a bad thing.
Sold my QQQ calls about an hour before close and bought some QQQ 750 puts for 10/30… didn’t expect them to start printing immediately :ahyes:
1k loss on SPY and QQQ options is like a paper cut in this casino
AMZN underperforming both SPY and QQQ in 5 years
im looking at how badly im down on some of the stocks I own and flabbergasted how SPY and QQQ are at ATHS. Fucking infuriating
I just want a -10% QQQ and I don't think it's a big ask with everything going on 😒
I'd stick with just SPMO. IMHO, no need to add QQQ. Too much overlap, and with recent 3-year and 5-year CAGR, SPMO has vastly outperformed QQQ.
Bros my last $500 is in QQQ calls wish me luck
Over the past 5-year period, **SPMO has significantly outperformed QQQ** in annualized total return: * **Invesco S&P 500 Momentum ETF (SPMO):** \~**20.1% – 21.2%** 5-Year CAGR * **Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ):** \~**14.2% – 15.5%** 5-Year CAGR Over the trailing 3-year period, **SPMO significantly outperforms QQQ**: * **Invesco S&P 500 Momentum ETF (SPMO):** \~**38.5% – 39.5%** 3-Year CAGR * **Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ):** \~**26.5% – 27.5%** 3-Year CAGR
**QQQ** currently maintains a **more consistent, structural concentration in core AI hyper-scalers and chip designers**, while **SPMO’s exposure fluctuates based on momentum trends**. Over a 10-year period, **QQQ** and **SPMO** have generated nearly identical annualized total returns, with **QQQ maintaining a slight edge**: * **Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ):** \~**20.86% – 20.97%** 10-Year CAGR * **Invesco S&P 500 Momentum ETF (SPMO):** \~**20.13% – 20.29%** 10-Year CAGR
How much is from AI, and do you want to stay in that. Otherwise I would add QQQ to the list. Doubled my money.

QQQ Calls Friday exp?
I sold to open QQQ calls.
What are you all going with MU options or QQQ to protect from IV crush ?
:cry: crazy how we were on a bull run LITERALLY JUST 1 WEEK AGO WITH 4.9% YIELDS! WE EVEN HAD A 3.25% QQQ DAY! Then yields spiked from 4.9% to 5.3% in just 8 days and are holding the entire semi sector down
Bro, it’s insane. There’s QQQ options a couple dollars out of the money that are still worth over $1.00
It's 3x the percentage of gain/loss of QQQ.
If this represents a majority of your investments over the years bro pls just start buying index funds like IVV or QQQ
Oil up, inflation up, yields up, SP500 up, QQQ up! We now need the FED to start printing so Gold can go up too. I think i will buy Oracle as a hedge to my McDonalds shares.
I've got 10/16's as well. QQQ though. > $10k but I opened them a week ago and I'm getting spitroasted
I've got 10/16's as well. QQQ though. > $10k but I opened them a week ago and I'm getting spitroasted
should I sell to open some QQQ calls? I feel like there is resistance. Is there resistance?
Almost every individual stock and index is in the red, and yet SPY and QQQ still green...
my thesis: MU^ > $MEMORY^ > QQQ^>SPY^ = spy 1DTE CALLS = :smoking:
SPY and QQQ will be ath while yields are at 50% in 2 weeks
**BanBet Created** ▼ | **Record:** 0W - 1L | Ticker | Target | Entry | Move | Expires | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | **QQQ** | $725.00 (below) | $742.16 | -2.3% | Oct 2, 5:28 PM |
Not looking good even though QQQ and Bitcoin are green
QQQ wants to surge ATH badly
You son of a bitch, you were right about QQQ 😇 Congrats!
We got two neutral yappers and a slightly dovish yapper coming up from the fed. ANY mention of "non-urgency" and bonds will dump, QQQ and SPY rip
Going from QQQ +0.91% to QQQ +0.75% really changed the tone here lmao
QQQ just refuses to break into the 745-750 range so I can sell my weeklies :cry: C’mon baby, do it for mommy :belt: :pepeuwu:
QQQ. It only melts up to ath all day
AI is surging check QQQ not SPY u boomer cucks
QQQ surges 1% testing ATH again
Oh my goodness QQQ surges 1%
I cucked out of my QQQ calls right before that run-up. Classic me.
Lmao QQQ is soaring and data center stocks are all dark red
It's called "tax-loss harvesting" and it's classy. I swear I used to be good at this and was up more ytd than QQQ until they changed the difficulty sliders. Now sitting on 15% ytd and feels very bad. GLD took me behind the woodshed the other day
QQQ testing ATH very soon at this rate
Paperhanded my QQQ 747 calls at .80% instead of +.90% and made +50% instead of +100% 😔
