Iwm is garbage, just focus on SPY or QQQ, even if the market rallies iwm may go down more (my experience)
Seriously prob calling itnway too early but I haven't focused on IWM too much. Is it always this volatile or just always this reliable to disappoint on a rally even more than the SPY or QQQ?
All the goofies talking about 0dte’s are gambles simply haven’t put in the work. Its that simple. Maybe OP was gambling id what OP knows. Put in the work and yea it’s repeatable. When you consider all the parameters that go into just one single day of trading. Such as the average range or even more specific the max range. You then begin to build a highly probable outcome scenario that looks like this. Look back on QQQ and find the maximum single day range. Find the average range of a single trading day. If the max is lets say 3% and you reach 2.89% for the day. Guess what. Odds are not 100% it goes down but basically getting close to 0% upside left. Therefore 2 scenarios are left. You stay at the highs to close the day or pullback. Explanation is crude but it’s an example of putting in some work and formulating scenarios that work in your favor. You want it? It’s available… finger it out 🤣
QQQ 590 tomorrow and I’m buying 100 shares
For what it's worth, while it's easy to laugh at him, Cathie Wood's ARKK is still down nearly 43% in 5 years while MSTR is up over 100% in that time, a bit better than QQQ over that time. She's worth a quarter of a billion dollars from being right once more or less.
Thanks NBIS ran it up while QQQ was chopping
No stay invested in SPY and QQQ
I haven't tracked SPY over the past month, but the QQQ has been hugging $600 since late Feb. QQQ hits $590-$593, and it's a buy back to $600-$605. If the QQQ hits $615, then short it back down to $600. It has worked for about 3 weeks now.
Total felt kind of fake, low volume in QQQ, little action. Feels like a dead cat bounce before the drop.
I was a super bull for whole 2025 and laughed about anyone being bearish. Since January I am absolutely high performing with shorting every top and being a total bear on QQQ.
Massive QQQ 630 put opened today expire this Friday. Looks like someone knows what’s feds gonna say. Doesn’t feel good
haha.. QQQ today - **+6.66.** **Coincidence much?**
QQQ likely up .3% or more. GTC is quite juicy.
Was that what made the QQQ rocket up and then immediately drop faster than a SpaceX launch?
Clearly you haven’t been following the proposed changes then. I expect you to do better research next time. As it stands, if they list and are immediately bought by for example QQQ there won’t be price discovery, it doesn’t matter how little of the fund it will be (probably 0.5~1%), you’re buying at inflated early IPO prices to prop up the insiders without ability to wait for price discovery. Don’t even get me started on the proposed leveraged weighting of securities with low free floats. Read more here: https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/docs/NDX_Consultation-February_2026.pdf Basically, what is being proposed is weighting market cap for the purpose of index purchasing (eg QQQ) to be leveraged 5x, so if they were to make SpaceX IPO at 2T$, and have 5% free floats available, it will be 100billion in market cap but leveraged 5x to actually appear like 500billion. If this sounds normal to you and not a way to fleece investors then I have a bridge to sell. The proposed changes
tbf it wasn't SPY or QQQ, it was PYPL and RDDT but yeah at least it's not much, I will learn from this surely
from what i'm seeing, low volume from sept 2024 until feb 20, 2025, and then huge selloff volume, but the volume seems higher now (50 to 90 mil) than then 25-35 mil in 2024 and 2025 on QQQ.

Ikr? QQQ 605 everybody sell! QQQ 595 everybody buy!
I am pretty sure this only affects funds following the nasdaq 100 index so index funds like QQQ/QQQM. It would not affect index funds like **VTI, VOO, or BlackRock Equity Index F** as they do not follow the nasdaq 100 index. >If passed, our index funds will be **legally forced** to buy these stocks in just **15 days** after they go public. Yea this is clickbait . Not all index funds it would only affect funds following the nasdaq 100 index basically QQQ/QQQM, and I am not sure it would have to legally buy if you read the prospectus it usually gives the fund managers some leeway in managing the fund . Most will say "Generally the fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the underlying index"
QQQ is only down 1% since the war began, it's really just been the Dow taking a beating. So hopefully they can start beating up tech so we go down even further.
It's sure looking like retail provided exit liquidity for the 1st trading hour this morning. That massive $QQQ $600 support level is looking like it's about to switch to a $600 resistance level.
You people thought QQQ was going to be +2% today lmao
Wrong. SpaceX will be at MOST 3% of QQQ, which basically mirrors the Nasdaq. Netflix is 2% and META is 9%. Both have dropped over 10-20% recently. QQQ is down 3% on the year. But keep reading the doomer posts. Jesus fucking Christ.
HOOD dumps like a shit coin getting rugged when SPY/BTC are red, and is up less than QQQ when markets are green. Holy piece of absolute shit man.
Ya already being up over 1% there’s resistance. Same thing with QQQ at $600. Both at points of if they break either way, they run
May have missed the boat on those. SPY and QQQ are right at that level of moon or plummet
Finally SPY 700 and QQQ new ATH
I'm a simple man, I see QQQ below 600, I go 50x leverage calls
the fact that QQQ was less than 600 for more than a day is a miracle lmao
Bought QQQ puts last Tuesday. 600 strike. Sold for minimal loss on Friday. Anyways feel bad to the moron who bought them. They expire today and he paid 7.8 per contract
This pump is crazy.. all of the nations literally refused to escort ships shortly after the Trump tweet. There was nothing good that came out of the weekend… +1% QQQ in pre market is criminal

Watching, looking to buy tomorrow. VTI, QQQ, CIBR, IBB, VXUS.
wow, huge green dildo on my QQQ calls
I’m considering moving from QQQ to VXUS and VB (international and small cap). Historically returns aren’t as good but at least i’ll be slightly less exposed to the AI scammers.
Bulls fucked, oil skyrocketing. -2% on QQQ EOD.
QQQ sell-off starting, looks like they're trying to get it down before premarket opens
SPY and QQQ and the rest are too damn expensive now. is it because everyone piled back into the market after a low period?
If you have QQQ you will be buying it whether you want to or not. (Personally I’d rather not.)

Friend’s sister started dating this new guy, no one likes him. As a favor to her, we included him in a golf foursome. On the first tee box he is shit talking her and how he hates all her friends…which is literally the three of us. On the 16th, I didn’t realize he walked all the way to the green looking for his ball in the trees. I hit a pull draw with my 3 wood and hit him dead in the chest, on the fly, from 200. Just fucking incredible. Anyway, calls. QQQ 650 by June.
We all know it's green the first 2 days where QQQ runs to 615 and red the last 2 days of the week and QQQ comes back to 594 again
$589 QQQ puts please print Monday then I can go long on more calls Tuesday letsgoooo
dude, love that you're back in the game and refining your strategy! sounds like you've got a solid plan going on. for ETFs, QQQ is definitely worth checking out, especially with tech stocks making moves lately. also, you might wanna look at IWM for small caps or even some sector-specific ones like XLF for financials if you're feeling risky. premiums can vary, but it’s worth a look. just remember to keep an eye on those support/resistance levels! keep it up, man!
Up 70%. Sold everything and bought QQQ puts and CVX calls
It’s not that they’re deferring hedging it’s that they’re delaying the process and the inevitable. Of course, firms selling and buying options would be hedging instantly especially in the 0DTE space. But what if they hedge those options with other ZODTE and the inevitable happens overnight when price can actually be controlled more by market makers. The reason I bring this is how these massive blocks have been traded . The $585 QQQ puts from Friday expiration were bought in a single block 50k volume Monday march 2nd. If you look at price action of QQQ from that Monday, price rallied all day long. What happened overnight? Massive gap down. The same thing happened last Friday that same contract was traded in 25k blocks twice back to back 5 minutes apart. What happened over last weekend and into Monday? Same thing another gap down. Tl:dr that these dealers and market makers are creating and leaving massive swaths of inventory from this hedging flows and they’re being systematically targeted because the hedging functions are mandatory
Difference is, if the market crashes back to April 2025 levels, you’re looking at a 50% drop on TQQQ vs a 33% drop on QQQ. Probably won’t happen, but it would be something like that.
There was like 1 million put contracts that expired on $QQQ $600 strike Friday and “someone” was “selling” equivalent volume on worthless calls Thursday and Friday. Despite the market not rallying at all Thursday or Friday, a market participant was selling worthless 0DTE calls all day long. I believe the market will go straight up Monday because of this hedging flow . Not sure about the rest of the week, but it’s been pretty clear. These straight pumps on Monday have been coming from the residual inventory of leftover massive options volume expiring. I don’t think participants are hedging these contracts until the next day because whoever whoever ends up buying those worth this calls are obviously hedging along with the person that sold them. But what if the person that sold the hundred thousands of worthless 0DTE collected the premium and didn’t hedge until Monday?
It's a rebalancing act. The whole point is SPY and VT being a better place to be than QQQ during the chaos. While SPY will be hit by the declines of Mag 7, holders of SPY will not be locking in losses by selling leading companies to go on a garbage buying spree. SpaceX will only temporarily suck all the oxygen out of the room, the recovery in Mag7 positions should take place in short order.
IWM vs QQQ over the last 5 years.
AND that index holder will have passively sold their profitable, growing Mag 7 holdings to raise capital for that new 6% stake. Yeah, I'm convinced enough to reduce QQQ in favor of more VT and SPY.
Ohhh I see the confusion. I’m talking about $QQQ. $589 is -1% for the nasdaq.
I think you just have to remember that this is just a PMCC strategy with extra shit to cover your ass. Shares are expensive, leaps are cool but plagued with theta and directional risks. Getting them to act more like shares at 1/4 the cost is really the goal. Downside protection for free isn’t exactly crap. It’s supposed to cushion, better than nothing in comparison and free. A slow uptrend is bad, that’s the only thing I really agree with you on in your response. It was never intended to be full downside protection. We will have to see in due time which works out better, shares, naked calls, or this. I’ll be keeping the strategy going for a while. Probably going in on it with QQQ whenever the market decides to turn around. Ask me later if you’re interested…

MSTR would be around 0.4% of QQQ. SpaceX would be around 6% of QQQ. In other words, an index fund holder would own ~15X as much SpaceX as MSTR.
SpaceX, OpenAi, Anthropic, Databricks, that's about 4 trillion worth of unprofitable tech IPOs that could be coming to QQQ in 2026. With the rule changes there will not be a real price discovery.
Wow what a shocker, Don the Con lied once again and now oil is skyrocketing. -2% for QQQ on Monday give it up bols.
Weekend Oil ripping again, should be a -2% day for QQQ this Monday
This is the kind of thing that makes me glad I hold VTI over QQQ. The NASDAQ-100 is already top-heavy and adding a $1.75T company that wants to change the rules for inclusion just makes it worse. Passive investing works because the rules are supposed to be neutral. Once you start bending index rules for individual companies, you're basically picking winners with extra steps.
There's also a real chance QQQ hits $275 again, if we have a long term war that turns larger
What does semi retired mean? How does the post relate to the title? Why ask about QQQ first then mention Nasdaq.
Even if you did post it a month ago, not everyone lives on Reddit. This is my first time seeing this, thanks for sharing it. Now I have to decide whether or not to stay invested in QQQ, or swap it out for something else…
If nasdaq-100 includes SPACE-X after 15 days, the decision is crazy for QQQ and TQQQs. Why? (even though complex situation, trying to show simple way how can it be harmful) Space X lists at nasdaq with 5% of float. Legally allowed ( Page 5 reference www dot sec dot gov/files/ipo-investorbulletin.pdf ): Underwriters can support the trading price of the new issue in its first few days of trading with certain trading activities, including purchasing shares of the company. This is often done to keep the trading price from falling too far below the offering price. Once this support ends, the stock price may decline significantly below the offering price. They keep the price for 15 days and then nasdaq-100 at the close of 15 day. Now, the price is pegged at when nasdaq-100 linked date. Simply space-x valuation is offloaded to NDX/QQQ holders. In future, when rest of the 95% is eligible to sell, every sell is spread across QQQ distribution. This means QQQ is used as a scapegoat for Space-X valuation. QQQ and TQQQ won't grow long time !
