Do you trade stock options or ETF options (SPY, QQQ)? And if stocks, what stocks fit your selection?
lol here’s a new position I just opened in October on QQQ. It’s just one position of many. Never judge a book by its cover. Let me know when you see it as I’m not interested in sharing my private finances, just thought it will give you some perspective to your judgement mechanism. https://preview.redd.it/b6op6x6mgx4g1.jpeg?width=1206&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f8ed7ab2636c0ad04d7e317ebead1a66adc9aa8
Google calls fucked me I let it happen again QQQ save me
Stick w one trade a day. Maybe one option trade w QQQ or spy and one trade w a tech/dow stock. Pls find a different hobby during the day but don’t stare at charts, you will tempted to overtrade. The less you trade, the more you will earn
Tech stocks, Nvidia, Microsoft, and I've also been keeping an eye on QQQ and SPY recently.
I mean this is fine but when did we start posting 19% YEARLY gains on WSB? QQQ is up 2% more in that timeframe.
Me too. I mostly buy shares of large companies, especially tech stocks. I've been keeping an eye on QQQ and SPY lately.
Dear Santa, since the US government is buying up natural resources and I’ve been a naughty boy this year using leverage, catching falling knives, and buying shitcoins, can you go ahead and give me coal?

QQQ taking out high of day wow
How would he have made the same amount of money sell puts on QQQ with $1.2M?
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.
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.
Sounds great on paper, less impressive when you run the numbers. Poor dude could have just bought the Q's and saved himself a lot of headache [https://totalrealreturns.com/n/INTC,QQQ?start=2024-08-01](https://totalrealreturns.com/n/INTC,QQQ?start=2024-08-01)
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
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.
I trade SPX and QQQ. Ndx is too rich

How are you really doing a pair trade on an energy company and fucking QQQ and wondering how it's not going how you expected....
$42 dollar move on QQQ in 5.5 trading days, wild
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
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
QQQ up +6.3% since last week. what did you expect?
The other 93 companies in QQQ
MAGS lagged QQQ by 66% today. That means money rotated out of AI and in to other tech. This shit is deflating, be warned.
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
QQQ up a cool +6.3% since last week
lmao QQQ up 6.3% last 7 sessions
QQQ should breakout to retest todays high soon
QQQ goes up just enough that I don't make or lose any money. I feel like this is intentional. the robots are watching
QQQ pulling shrek dick numbers the past week
There is legit no chance this is going down this month at all. I would even ban myself for a week if this ever had a meaningful down move in December. Just not happening. So F'n unstoppable it's insane. Literally every red bar, they jam it will green candles. ViX to go below 14 again. QQQ probably to 650 this month. I highly doubt there's even a single day down 1% this month BY CLOSE. Yeah we might get another fake gap down like Monday, or a random intraday drop, but it will just V every single thing on the spot. Sit back and watch this only go up. There is legit 0 chance this drops this month.
This sounds like an amazing plan. I'm gonna borrow as much money as I can. Instead of wasting time diversifying (lol), I'd rather just throw it all into short-term QQQ call options. Easy 10x.
puts on QQQ at 622 printed money today
Imagine how much money you would have if you just put it all in QQQ or SPY. Rip
Diversification creates the same or better *risk adjusted* returns. Concentration(QQQ) has potential for higher raw returns.
Best entry you're going to get on SPY and QQQ for the rest of the year right now
Dear God of Bools, please grant me QQQ 635 by the end of the week, and my wife promised to spend one night a week with me instead of her Boyfriend. amen
Fyi you are having an FX issue. That fund is denominated in SEK while QQQ or VT are denominated in USD. With the USD devaluation of around 20% the performance of QQQ or VT in SEK it's around 0% which is similar to the fund you have.
Bought QQQ puts at the top 623.50 and sold at the bottom 617.50, made solid profit Im done for the day. 😋😋
I literally just made almost the exact same comment then scroll once and see we are in the same boat. What ifs hurt. I was QQQ 622p
Big fat red candles on QQQ. V time now. Green one forming.
QQQ from up 1% to flat in minutes. Almost every sector red.
If you're attracted to "long term" stocks (as you should be) you should just dump your money into an ETF like QQQ or SPY and forget about it. Investing in something as specific as quantum computing is almost always a bad idea.

What are we thinking? QQQ 630 EOD?
Ahh right as if being up 7% in 7 sessions isn’t enough for you in QQQ

QQQ is up 6.5% in 7 trading days lmao just nutty stuff
I started in QQQ for my first 25k. Decided it would be a drop in my end goal bucket so just buying VOO now.
November was net negative for SPY and QQQ
I had a little pocket change pre-COVID and was in a lot of stocks that CRASHED hard - airlines and travel were one of my categories back then. I just held out and started DCAing the ones in red until they came back and sold immediately, then started buying ETFs - both industry (like tech ETFs: QQQ, ARK, etc) and precious metals (Gold, Silver). At this point in time I’m happy to stay mostly in gold, silver, and mining while my 401k has exposure to other types of investments. I don’t have faith that our economic system can hold, and in a hyperinflationary event (for USD), I’d bet harder on commodities like metals than on foreign currencies that might have correlation to USD because of petrol or trade. Aside from that, a money market account gives me 4% APR on my savings, which I also consider a safer option that at least helps curb some inflation. I don’t think I’ll ever touch options unless I have a full time investor doing my trades for me. I’m not qualified enough to make sense of it all.
QQQ is gor pussies, TQQQ or bust
Just your monthly reminder that the UFOs are here, Congress has admitted to it,,and they're watching us. Anyways, QQQ to 640 by xmas
QQQ quick move over 618 any news
I’ve been following your journey for months and it always amazes me how your strategy works. But wouldn’t this work with SPY, VOO, or QQQ if you lever 3x as well? I was going to mimic your Strat but I was too chicken lol glad to see your doing good and this hasn’t blown up on your face
Why the fuck wouldn’t he be investing in QQQ if he’s this ready to lose all of his money?
I, for one, am neither a bear, nor crosseyed. I do not own Japanese bonds nor anything paid for in yen. I own no shiny rocks or invisible internet money tokens. I’m here for US tech companies (that actually make money and grow EPS) to rally through Q1 2026. Ho ho ho. QQQ/NVDA/GOOGL/META/AMZN calls.
Don’t listen to him OP. This sounds like a great plan. I would borrow as much as possible and instead of wasting time in diversifying (lol) I would just spend it all in short dated QQQ calls, easily 10x it
Well this sub is hyped on SPY and QQQ so…..
There is a TON of overlap between VOO and QQQ. You could dump QQQ and increase VOO to 75% (for example) and then the other 10% in international. You will see a minimal actual weighting change in your portfolio. Your concentration of major tech stocks will drop, but not by such a significant amount that you fall behind on your goals (assuming they are within reason)
Lost 2.5% on the port today as EOSE tanked 10% and my QQQ puts were only up 2%. 50% SGOV and I get a 2.5% down day as my high beta long just got demolished. Rough day. (this is for the people who say all i do is lie about buying low and selling high)
One day before BOJ says that there is a very high chance of rate hike soon. On that day the volume of QQQ and SPY was like 2x more than avg. I think Big Money got the news before us so they dump one last time and after that we just slowly go up until today. In other words I think BOJ rate hike is priced-in. Its probably why we go down like 5% from the top because Big Funds that play with Carry Trade slowly sell their US stock to get out of Carry Trade. If there is a 🎅 Rally this year then I think it gonna start this Friday. I think Big Money want the market to go flat because of Profit Take after the pump from last week and wait to see what happen with Venezuela. So probably flat until Friday.
Would be hilarious/amazing if we went up like 3-4% on SPY and QQQ tonight
If QQQ could go up 5% this week that'd be cool. Lets see it happen MMs.
I bought them between 2 and 4 pm friday. QQQ had pumped all week into resistance on low volume and I was expecting some bad Japan stuff to happen.
Im getting crushed today haha. EOSE down 6.5% and my QQQ puts only up 1.8% somehow even though QQQ down 0.4 (it has traded between 7 and 11 beta the last week. somehow 4.5 today )
If JPow could send spy to 700 tonight and QQQ to 650 that'd be sick.
QQQ volume today 18M so far. Two Thursdays ago: 112M. Waiting on JPO. I buy calls at close on red days. Today is no different.
actually not too bad, I would remove AMD, PG and possibly NVDA when it reaches a new high, just to be safe. You don't have the resources to follow actively those individual stocks, so too dangerous for a retail investor portfolio. That **VFFVX** – Vanguard Target Retirement 2055 is also a no-no, these strategies do not work, see WSJ articles about it. Avoid Target Date Fund at all costs. Maybe add QQQ and some MidCap/SmallCap from Vanguard or Morningstar. Keep it simple and fresh.
You're young. Go 35% QQQ. 30% VOO. 10% VT. 10% VXUS. 10% BIL. 5% IBIT.
Bull Trap : ) Here's your chance to sell & get out. You can buy back into $QQQ under 590 if you want to trade this market. There is a severe shortage of liquidity for asset prices to go straight up. $BTC was he warning shot.
I just added to $SQQQ. I'm betting the $QQQ gets rejected at Friday's closing price.
Red on EOSE today AND red on my QQQ puts. Less than ideal for the good old portfolio. Still recommend people look into EOSE. They are going to print a 280% QoQ revenue growth in Q4, and then will likely grow revenues by 300% in 2026 vs 2025, while becoming gross margin positive in 2026.
Come on QQQ is literally -0.04% you know you wanna end green
Is QQQ hitting 621 today or am I regard
Yea I wouldn't risk that one.. do QQQ instead
I was a day-trader in the late 90s, so don’t get me started!!!! I was able to get Amazon at its IPO price of $18 and Nvidia at $12, as well as many other early tech stocks (QQQ…. QUALCOMM! I can still hear Jim Cramer now!). When tech crashed in 2000, I took what was left and cashed all out and went conservative blue chip. Can you spell S-T-U-P-I-D?

My wife just got a text for QQQ voting. With my name. She’s not on any account and all my settings are set to email contact only. I can’t find her number anywhere on my account. WTH?
This dude is betting against the most heavily weighted company in most index funds.VT, VTI, S&P500, QQQ. It’s like America’s flagship stock.
If QQQ drops as soon as it touches green I'm gonna cry.
QQQ is just ripping what the fuck
