IRAN PROPOSES PLAN TO REOPEN STRAIT IN 48hrs *plot twist:* **ain’t no fucking way Donald agrees to it** *And thus*: **war is about to flare back up**, probably Election night Hormuz can be reopened in to two days, Araghchi says Oct 31, 2026, 13:42 GMT+0 Updated: 16:47 GMT+0 Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said talks with Qatari mediators had produced a proposal to reduce the time needed to implement Tehran's plan to reopen the Strait of Hormuz to two days, according to Al Jazeera. "The Qatari side proposed shortening the implementation period of the Iranian proposal to five days. We have reached a proposal at this stage that reduces the implementation period to two days," Araghchi said. He said **Iran's conditions included:** **- lifting sanctions imposed after the Islamabad memorandum** **-reducing US forces in the region** **- restoring oil waivers and** **- releasing all frozen Iranian funds, including those held in Qatar.** Araghchi also said Tehran wanted recognition of designated shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz, which it had discussed with Oman, and the closure of alternative routes. "Reopening the Strait of Hormuz in accordance with our conditions paves the way for the resumption of negotiations with Washington regarding outstanding issues," he said. … rotate those AI/tech & QQQ shares into USO/eneegy and refinery stocks fam.

QQQ might add 2 more Qs tomorrow...
Every time a ber says something about futes QQQ ticks up another 0.01%
QQQ 700 tommorrow should be get entry for puts
I just know everyday this week will be BULLISH AF. Tech, QQQ & SPY
QQQ up 0.5%, BTC up 1%, Nikkei up 0.7%, AND KOSPI STILL DOWN 1.5% (BULLISH)
QQQ 4.78% tmrw? Upvote for up, downvote for down
Facts, I ended up buying some QQQ 700Cs for tomorrow. I just don't see after a -3% day we dip lower without a bounce
My AI portfolio dumped 20% so I bought puts on QQQ on Friday. Watch it fucking moon today
No. It's just not the huge gap up we've had in earlier weeks. So noise. Might we get +1-2%? Possibly. Will I trade it? Nope. Waiting for more structure personally. I think we'll go visit lower QQQ 680 200 SMA before we go higher. Will see.
Take a look at QQQ April 1-30. You wouldn’t want to miss that.
Yes but the congestion zone was broken in two days, Thursday and Frida. Check the QQQ charts and get back to me. Since when has the QQQ broken below 701 in the last 3 months?
Bols after being absolutely fucking ravaged watching QQQ go down 50 dollars over a few days, then watching it go up 8 dollars in futes: "very concerning for ber" the resilience is impressive I guess
The 2018 trump midterms had Dems winning house. qqq was -10% heading into midterms after a sharp October decline. Midterms saw a few day bounce, followed by qqq bottoming at -23% from ATH at the end of December. QQQ hit ath in April the following year
I will short whatever amount I hold through my QQQ position
AI takeover Skynet and QQQ 4000 by Wednesday
I'm thinking of loading up tons of QQQ puts and maybe on a few data-center names (CRWV,SPCX, etc) on election day. If Dems end up winning the House and Senate, I think there is going to be a perception that they will be a hindrance to the data center buildout (whether or not that is true). I personally think they won't cause too much damage, because both sides are bought and sold whores. Most of them spend their time day-trading and I am sure they don't want their stocks to go to shit. But tactically, short term, I could see that narrative pushing stocks down.
No That said, I could do simply covered calls on SPY/QQQ and make enough to do this for a living But I enjoy my job and enjoy the perks of having a w2 income To answer the rest of your questions: there is no average. It varies. Roughly 1.5% of the portfolio per month the last year. How long it took? It’s more about how much your starting capital is, rather than experience How many hours per week? Like…. 4 hours per week lol.
Cool. How did that work out for Micron? Or Samsung? Or SK Hynix? We're in a bear market. Trust me, I want to be bullish, and all my calls down 90% remind me why I should just accept reality and follow the price action instead of hoping for the best. I bought puts Friday even after the huge overnight dip, still made 400% on Rddt and 200% on QQQ on just part of the tiny daily move after the big crashes. Waiting around hoping things recover after such massive overnight crashes and holding at a massive loss is a good choice if you have unlimited money coming in from other sources and unlimited time to wait for a recovery.
QQQ closed at $690.49 and hyper is showing $698.73 rn
QQQ already up $10 from Friday close on Hyperliquid, ber fuk tomorrow
I have not seen any options positioning that indicates stealth accumulation. There was a put wall at 700 on QQQ but price broke down anyway. Do you have any examples?
SPY hasn't corrected. Formal definition of correction is -10% from ATH. QQQ on the other hand has corrected due to dumping of tech stocks.
My $5K check is going into 0DTE QQQ calls
Cause its a Meme stock and Yhe MMs thanks the degenerates for thier money gambling on Reddit when smart folks go leaps on QQQ/Meta .... Mms love yall
QQQ bounced off the 200 day on Friday. I'd expect nothing other than a bounce on Monday.

Don't listen to these arrtards. If you started putting $1 each day intl TQQQ in 2022, you'd be up something like 276% If you increased that amount to $2 on days the QQQ was more than 5% bellow all-time highs, it's am absolutely bonkers number. Set up auto DCA daily or weekly with small amounts and don't look at it.
Appreciate it and it’s certainly been a journey with ups and downs. I still have more discipline to learn but it’s mostly good thus far. There’s family expenses and also planning for the future. Luckily my spouse has a secure job that’s in their peak earning years while we’ve planned a few things a while ago (ultra low mortgage rate, 529 plans, retirement accounts). I’m actively trading in tax deferred accounts as well, while leaving some funds in a protected 401k. This spreads the risk somewhat. The problem with scaling higher is there’s an increased level of risk that I’m not willing to undertake at this time. I’m deploying anywhere from $25k-$30k in funds on a daily basis and target between $1000-1400 on those days. There are days where I need to cut it short, while there are days where the gains are above target. As an added level of risk management, I’ve removed margin so the cash can only be deployed once. I try to stick to premiums around $1.7-$1.9 and set the exit at .15-.25 or so and keep the contract size to 30 usually depending on the candle. Most of my winning setups are in the AM and after the opening 15 minute noise settles. This is for QQQ btw. Your question on why return to the workforce, I do enjoy solving interesting problems and if there’s an opportunity, i think it would be good to try another run. Plus the social interaction is good in my opinion.
I'm buying. This minor downturn has actually lasted longer than most in the last couple of volatile years. 80% in with Tech Sector and QQQ. Only 20% dry powder. 😯

Buy 1 Jan 27 put on QQQ…..at whichever strike your $975 can afford.
What? You guys are still pussies? Unless we hit 5% or more on SPY or QQQ in a single day. Then is just business as usual. It ain’t no party like a circuit breaker party. The lower it goes the better it will be.

TECL bro. And mid Dec QQQ calls
Problem with what you're saying is AI stocks are down 30, 40, 50, 60% percent YTD, while SPY, QQQ, Dow are all up YTD.

You just wait for Nvidia earnings report. Jensen will show up with the slickest leather jacket, claim AI will make us immortal. NVDA : +28% SPY : +10% QQQ : +22%

Fair, I'm getting tiny call spreads on QQQ with a similar thought pattern
#QQQ already breached 20, 50 and 100 day moving averages. The next boss is 200 day moving average which is $679. If it breaks, no one knows how low we can go (except for me of course). LMAO🤌⛹🏾🍁
Either it is a violent V-shaped recovery in ext 2 months, or we are going back to 0% return for Nasdaq index this year. QQQ $600 or $800.
20 years. This may make you feel better if you run this experiment. FInd any stock performance calculator and put in your purchase date for VOO. Then select for your 'time interval' to review performance at a week. Then a month. Then 6 months, a year, 5 years, 10, then 20. You'll see that as the interval grows the dip we've just experienced is almost invisible. Now this is absolutely no guarantee of future results, but IMO what other measure is any better? I'm writing this as someone who first bought QQQ in back in '99, so I know exactly how you feel. But I liked the focus, so stayed the course. That was a lot of dollars ago. I don't sweat it anymore.
Guys, wall street is clear that only bear market for next 2 months. SMH back to $400, QQQ back to $600.
Your port is essentially an ETF made of random niche tickers no one has ever heard of and a few wallstreetbets specials. Honestly just get an index fund (VOO/SPY/QQQ) and leave it alone. You can keep yourself a little cash for risk to play with
Buy VOO or QQQ or SPY and sell all the other shit. 80% s&p500. 20% something a lil riskier
Not necessarily. If you’re a bit older and have a high paying career and let’s say were able to invest 50k in QQQ and added $1000/mo into it since then… you’d have about OPs net worth without even yoloing into options. The bull run in the last few years has been absolutely craziness compared to other periods in history. Since 2008 QQQ would have given you \~18% annualized return.

Been checking QQQ way too much this week lol. I built a little app called StockPing that just pings me when something actually moves enough to care about. Been using -2% / -3% alerts and honestly it's much better than opening my broker every 10 mins 😂 Full disclosure, I made it: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6817288336
What a week—the Fed’s FOMC, major earnings, tax-loss selling & oil prices, Vix Most of the institutions & big funds did tax-loss selling,closed the book by October end Ready for $NVDA earnings spike $MU reported $52 Billion revenue Next $SPX $NDX $QQQ $XLK $XLC seasonal spike
Go check the 52 week low on QQQ and get back to me. 🤣
I think we're pumping pre market, maybe even +1% QQQ, but market open is a 50/50. Gonna take some money off the table if we pump in pre market, if we dump pre market, ima let my shit go to 0 fuck it.
I should have bought puts on Spy or QQQ yesterday morn and let em ride. That big dip and pullback to a green recovery a week or so back had me cautious as I couldnt sit and watch yesterday. I wish Id bought 100 , $80 puts on Intel. They ridiculously cheap. I saw some made big bank on that slam dunk
QQQ will never see $700 again
Bought 20k QQQ at 715 witj some 700 puts few days back, friday bought 30k worth of QQQ @685 with a couple 680 puts as some insurance. Will just continue to repeat until I build a good position
Imagine thinking QQQ went down because of oil or middle east. Earnings across the board was shit. OpenAI is losing money. Anthropic has junk bond rating. You can cope all you want but the peace talks won't save your calls
Ceasefire reached, QQQ +4% on Monday 🥳
Legit. QQQ was $562 in March and closed yesterday at $690. I think we're ok 👌 Also, ask Burry how his positions in JD.com and Alibaba are doing...
If I’ve learned anything from 🥭 market, Monday will be a +2.5% on QQQ based on the news headline: **AXIOS: “PEOPLE IN PLACES NEAR OTHER PLACES, WITH KNOWLEDGE OF THINGS, ARE HAVING THOUGHTS OF CONCEPTS OF TALKS ABOUT THINGS!!!”**
Selling to skim profits as part of your strategy is one thing, selling because you have a weird feeling is a whole other matter. Buying SQQQ because of that weird feeling is on a different realm. There is a good chance that if you sold and bought SQQQ because of your emotions, and then the market goes up, that you would get another instinct telling you to sell and buy QQQ. At which point you just lost a bunch of money
My port reacts X2 to QQQ performance, so It was a -7% day
retail (regards) will always buy. Just look at spacex. They can get added to the QQQ too
I only trade SPX 0DTE or 1DTE, depending on when I enter a trade. This is all I trade, however I do watch others like NQ SPY QQQ for confluence. I have been doing so for the last 8 years but my first 2 were break even years, I had small profits then it kept building up. Had my first few months of no losses, then a month of second guessing myself after a break with multiple. Got back on track and would have 1 or 2 small losses a month. I have 2 jobs and trade open and the close. Most of the time during close im at work. I want to retire by 45 which is in 6 years. How long it takes to go full time depends how much time you put in. I got a few friends into it now and we trade together sometimes or share ideas in a group chat. Learn the basics, learn charting, levels. Dont need too much noise,the easier the better
I made 30% off NVDA lottos today, wasting like 90% of the trading day stuck in it. I should've just done QQQ ugh. Then EOD I switched to calls and made 100%. But I still feel like I missed out on a lot. :wendys:
280? Are you counting things that don't count like Nasdaq or QQQ?
It’s going to chop sideways for a little bit before the rally. Needed to wait for the dip of the dip (not a meme). But this is the right play, wrong time. I personally will enter QQQ calls when SPY hits 740ish. You might be able to sell a bounce, then buy back in for the final dip. Anyways, these are just levels I have marked on my charts. Best of luck.
