Just stop and enjoy life dude, not saying you don't enjoy life but you don't need to take this risk anymore. You could buy GPIQ which tracks 90% of the performance of QQQ and make a $500k yearly dividend plus capital appreciation. Also, how amazing is Reddit where randomly can bump into all walks of life and talk with a multi millionaire that's awesome. How did you even become so successful if can ask

I have VOO, VIG, and VIGI as well as SCHD, QYLD, and QQQ. I’m not saying what you should or should not do or choose, those are just included in my portfolio.
Wow those QQQ puts I accidentally bought on Friday might print Monday while my slew of calls will bleed only for them to rage back on 🌮 Tuesday…
QQQ 672 puts that day went from .23 to $13 into the late close. I was in absolute shock
I'm looking at a little startup called QQQ.
The YouTube channel that explained it best to me when i had zero knowledge was Pandrea Finance. Look up his videos about selling options and the wheel strategy . Also look up the subredits called coveredcalls and thetagang Because you have alot of capital now you can actually run the wheel on one of the indexes like SPY or QQQ which is generally safer vs doing it on individual stocks. you can open up a charles schwab brokerage account and use their thinkorswim web version to paper trade selling options. You can set the paper trade account to 75k in capital to run a simulation if you were using your real money. Honestly I would learn about it first. And paper trade it first . Even if you decide against its just good to be more knowledgeable about the way things work Or the best advice. Park that 75k in like VOO and chill
Of course you can’t get a fill for the same credit per equivalent stole distance… the idea is that when you widen the spread, your breakeven price improves quite a bit. To compensate, you can sell the short leg a bit closer to the money, while still maintaining the overall break even price, or even improving it. All while selling less total contracts (less commission, bid/ask differential, ect). SPX is highly liquid, so it isn’t much of an issue, but any other underlying (besides maybe SPY and QQQ) would not be tradeable the way you are doing so with such high volume and narrow spread.
No, Leopold's port is nothing in comparison to what's traded daily. He just didn't survive the correction. I think his liquidation did show it was a healthy correction which now creates this buying the dip narrative. Still QQQ 600 Oct
Put your trades in a spreadsheet. Put QQQ and VTI price from the time you bought as well (or whatever etf you want to track) Same when you sell. Compare.
The tool matters less than which price field it is plotting. Most intraday option charts draw last trade, and on anything outside SPX or QQQ near the money, last trade is sparse and stale, so the candles are mostly gaps and junk wicks from a fill that happened twenty minutes ago at a bad price. That is usually what you are fighting, not the software. What you actually want charted is the mark, meaning the mid of the bid and ask, because it updates continuously even when nothing trades. The catch is that mid is only trustworthy when the spread is tight. On a wide spread the mid can swing purely from the quote moving, so a clean looking premium candle can still be noise. Before trusting any intraday premium chart, glance at the strike volume and open interest and the bid ask width. If it is thin, no tool will give you a clean chart, because there is no clean price to plot.
Oh how the tables have turned. Look at the beacon of democracy, bastion of freedom with their president taking a page out of the book of third world states. About the market: look at what Tel Aviv market did during the war, it ran hot, saw all time highs one after another. Up until march. They might do the same with SPY/DOW/QQQ. Greetings from a Banana Republic citizen. And, good luck deposing your puppet of Epstein class.
VOO and QQQ Why should I take risks with a billion dollar? I’m already rich af.
I present a story of QQQ. -1%, -2%, -1%, -2%, +1% jk -2% in the last hour of the market, +3.3% by next open.
U can just gamble on SPY/QQQ with extra steps at 9:30-9:35. It's far more precise and probable considering u can see the movements of all the holdings and compare that w/ SPY/QQQ at 9:30 AM. Very likely the movement will continue from 9:30 to 9:35. U get in with 5-10 contracts. Then make sure you finger-trigger the close button when the option hits your profit target then get out. Do the same thing for your losses. If you don't believe me, go look at the chart yourself.
QQQ dropped like a rock today, how tf did you lose on puts?
QQQ trading at 660 right now on the dark pool exchanges
Man if QQQ pumped to 695 before dumping at close I’d be rich rn… Can’t believe they held it down while SPY took off
Why did QQQ drop after hours?
You’re not crazy or lucky. I’ve noticed something very similar with Spy and QQQ options.
If bombs start dropping on power plants can QQQ open below 680?
Market maker after waking up for breakfast: “Out of Cheerios? Wtf? I’m crashing QQQ today.”
When it comes to SPY and QQQ: 1+1=2, but 2-1=0
Can’t believe QQQ didn’t pump with SPY
Semi are still down 5% this week while Spy is up and QQQ is flat. Sadge.
Sigh…you may or may not believe when I say that I have puts. I know all too well this has a very good chance of v’ing by Monday. Unless the strikes and counterstrikes that come are obscene or there is other serious news, the low ass liquidity after hours on top of it barely dumping are more bullish than not in my opinion. -.4 or so drop on QQQ pricing news like that is not bearish. Should have cascaded harder with that volume. Not excited for puts tbh. Who knows tho I’m a certified dumbass
So calls on SPY and QQQ? Because inflation goes up and money printer go bbrrrrrrrr
See I knew my 8/5 QQQ 685 covered call would be fine
PS5 broken ✅️ Down 19k if my QQQ calls get cooked Mon ✅️
easiest QQQ scalp day i've had in weeks, algos had it on easy mode or something
Sounds like an actual big escalation if Israel is getting all giddy about it. Can’t wait for QQQ to fall 6% Sunday night as oil surges to ATH and gas is $7
Those QQQ 685 puts for Monday are looking pretty good. Open the casino so I can close them please!
Bought some QQQ 689p 15 min before close and biched up and paperhanded them for 40% profit. Back to the dumpsters for me, but with a biggie bag.
I work in substance abuse treatment. I just had a game changing idea. I’m going to open up a inpatient rehab for traders where you can only buy VTI or VOO for 30-60 days. And exposure therapy were your forced to watch people trade 0tde QQQ options. 💰
Also problematic is the fact that it's not something the market doesn't know. Guys like me aren't exactly balls deep in these hail Mary stocks cuz I think AI and tech will not be printing money versus QQQ or VOO or BAC in 5 years.
Even though I'm down like 50% for the past 2 months, I actually made money this week with QQQ calls yesterday 😅
Almost broken even on my QQQ calls and that stupid dump at the end made me down 1k
QQQ will open at 700 Monday 🎸
I think the last minute was EOM rebalancing. Completely caught me off guard though. QQQ being bought up after hours again.
Please remove memory stocks from QQQ. Thank you.
Snagged QQQ 8/7 calls at 3:59:50… i have forsaken bear gang
Monday calls for QQQ dirt cheap rn
Let’s get another +3% on QQQ on Monday
gay how QQQ didn't pump at all like SPY did
9/30 QQQ 750C or should I go for 8/31 lmao
How in sweet fuck is QQQ green on the 5 day
100% gain on QQQ calls in 6 min on that pop
If short-term options are making you feel 'aggravated one day and happy the next', stop buying short dated calls immediately. Look at zebra spreads or deep ITM LEAPS on broad index ETFs (like SPY/QQQ). Lower leverage, zero daily stress, and theta won't eat your portfolio alive while you wait for the thesis to play out
That 935 drop was bs QQQ and SPY were going to the moon :/
wow can QQQ just not go up anymore?
what the absolute fuck, someone keeps shorting QQQ at 689
these green candles on QQQ are too weak!!!! GO UP BASTARD!
Holding lotto QQQ 0DTE poots just in case it plummets lol
someone is shorting QQQ at 689... damn, its supposed to be up with SPY rn
Strait open and clear for traffic per CentCom. Puts on USO. QQQ to 750
8/31 750C on the QQQ is calling out to me
QQQ on cruise control
SPY and QQQ been bouncing off of that 8 EMA
Could we all just buy QQQ puts today and then not trade on Monday and Tuesday? Would that even matter?
why go through the effort of getting SQQQ puts when you could just get QQQ calls
QQQ gonna break back over 690, it would appear. Might be good for my SQQQ puts.
QQQ looks like it wants to pump 2 dollars in a single candle rn
how arent we green QQQ has dumped 15% across a month and you just cant fathom a green day? jesus christ get a grip bears
Spy and QQQ on easy mode rn

For example over the last 10 years $QQQ has averaged 18.8% annual gains vs 14% for $VOO. When you compound those gains over a large period of time it’s a ton of money lost

680 QQQ P am i fucked???
Alright, lesson time. I know most of you are on RH or some other Fisher Price Brokerage (like me), but they still offer you live options data right there in the options chain. Use it. You need 2 metrics to make a profit on 0DTEs if you're trading SPY or QQQ. Gamma, and Volume. That's it. Look at Call option Gamma and Put option Gamma at strikes currently at the money. Which one has more gamma? Right now it's Calls. This means that the Call contracts are currently gaining more value at a faster rate than the Put contracts. This accelerates upwards movement in this environment. I'll spare the details, but everyone should be familiar with their effects. Now, compare this higher gamma to the volume. Are more Calls being purchased/traded than puts at strikes near the money? If so, this is the catalyst for the squeeze upwards. It will feel mechanical. The upward 'steps' you're used to seeing on the chart. THIS is what causes it.
With a small account, I would recommend SPY or QQQ options and buying first 15 minutes of open and selling by noon eastern time. These ETF's are about 75% bullish. Look for previous day low and needs to be lower than that area but before buying needs to have gone over a level and stayed above that level. If you don't know what levels are, just do some research. Also practice paper trading. Learn to read candle sticks, not by reading a book by sitting and watching active charts.
QQQ close at 690 for maximum ber cuckery
QQQ has aged me 40 years this week
Alr sold my calls and went for 680 QQQ puts am i gonna print in like 30 mins?
made a great entry at QQQ 680
You didn’t pick the single day to buy QQQ calls before close Wednesday and then sell them 30 minutes after open yesterday? Lmao, how did you not see that it was so obvious.
July has had 15 days across the month where QQQ opened and immediately dumped hard half the month has been like this lol just hold ur shares u gaping vaginas
Was probably unrealistic to expect another face ripper today, but if we can hold this retracement of yesterday's rally it should give us the momentum to get out of the downtrend, on QQQ at least.
It's been following QQQ almost exactly.
price action has been genuinely crazy lol QQQ instadumps from 696 to 680 right at open
QQQ down 2% in a couple hours WSB super-sleuths: “feels dumpy”
QQQ is hot fucking garbage
