Everyone loves tech stocks right now. That’s exactly what worries me about the next 10 years.
Everyone is piling into tech, semis and AI stocks. Valuations say the next 10 years of returns will be very low
In 1999 at the peak of the internet bubble, QQQ launched and retail piled in. Then came the 73% drop and 15 years underwater

Yes, I agree with your point. I’ve been using GEX levels for almost a month now, and I’ve joined quite a few communities run by so-called mentors. The answer is pretty simple: **they’re just trying to sell subscriptions and earn commissions.** They only come out afterward and claim that their levels worked when a marked level happens to have an effect, while in reality, there are very few instances throughout the week where this actually happens. If you understand GEX levels, you know that these providers use **estimated hedging intensity** to assess how much influence market makers are expected to have on the market. However, the reality is that the amount of futures trading generated by hedging options only accounts for around **10% of NQ’s daily futures volume**. And if you’re using QQQ levels as a reference, they’re usually based on whole-number levels. When translated to NQ, that actually corresponds to a pretty wide range. Sometimes you can indeed see QQQ bounce from one of these levels, but I almost always find **other, more direct explanations** for the move rather than options-related futures hedging. So personally, I think this whole thing is a very **slippery and unfalsifiable gimmick**. No matter what happens, they can always come up with an explanation that makes it sound like the GEX level was responsible. For beginners, I actually think using these levels as **potential areas of interest** can be useful. But for me, after looking at them for a while, I honestly think the whole thing is **nothing more than a scammy gimmick**.
MU, MRVL and QQQ overall broke below the 50 days SMA, will it work as a guaranteed magnet?
Shorting QQQ and buying AI ETF on discount is the way
Feelin’ cute on my way to the beach :happy:, nice lil red day in my red bikini, might pick up some QQQ weekly calls later :hmmm:
Wtf thank you MMs I have 50m in 0dte QQQ puts
I have QQQ puts and I hate it. I’m short ARKK and I love it.
IWM inching higher because I sold a $315 call SPY and QQQ can dump and ts will still march towards my strike
My first instinct is to short SPY and QQQ and all the fucking loser mag7 bitches, but that is what they're expecting this week. Going inverse, because the market is full regard at this time. Never bet against full retard...ever.
It’s actually a miracle SPY and QQQ are up double digits this year considering how regarded this admin is

So for almost all of history, buywrite (and their mathematically equivalent selling put strategies) tend to just straight up lose to the underlying. For obvious reasons... you are selling the upside but have all the downside still. The compensation is over an entire market cycle you have higher Sharpe ratios typically. Also interestingly, IV continues to remain elevated recently without much actual volatility. Here's 3 month returns of buywrite vs. underlying on SPY and QQQ, I threw in JEPI as well which is a professional actively managed vol selling strat: https://i.imgur.com/uxqFg6q.png Everything else 6 month and longer it falters: https://i.imgur.com/uxqFg6q.png
Black-Scholes doesn’t generate the prices or the main gamma map on the site. Prices, trades, quotes and Greeks come from the live feed. The feed’s Greeks drive the walls and exposure map; we only use Black-Scholes for the gamma-flip curve and vanna/charm. That’s appropriate for European-style SPX. For SPY, QQQ and single names, those specific calculations are approximations—not the whole site. OI is prior-close; the tape and CVD are live. Dealer positioning is an estimate, and we say that in the methodology. =D
Nope, mainly went cash Friday and want some cheap QQQ weeklies tomorrow
QQQ is going to 800 by Sept End
Sell it and put it in QQQ /s But actually….do 0DTE options and grow it to either 1m or back to $100. There is no in between.
Fair hits, Ill concede somethings because you are right. On naive vs real GEX: what I’ve built is OI-based gamma levels with a standard dealer-sign assumption — so yes, “naive” GEX by your definition, same category as the strike-plot levels the big providers show to everyone. I’m not claiming real-time dealer flow / HIRO-style positioning — that needs the OPRA firehose and whole-book modeling, which I know I can’t do cheaply or well, so I’m not pretending to. Where I’d push back: I’m not a dev cosplaying as a trader. I trade 0DTE SPX — iron flies, BWBs — and I already use gamma regimes and walls in my own process. This started as a tool for how I actually trade. So the honest offer isn’t “cheaper real-time GEX.” It’s clean, honest OI-based levels — walls, flip, regime — for 0DTE SPY/QQQ, priced for retail, with no pretense that it’s institutional flow data. If that’s useful to people, great. If OI-based levels are useless to you specifically, totally fair — different tool for a different trader.
Heavy cash rn But if I see QQQ 705-708 on Monday/Tuesday, I’m yoloing QQQ call spreads for 08/28 Thinking we bounce to 720 by EOW
0dte options: SPY or QQQ opens red losses 2 to 3% from open price (good movement for single trading session). Then at 11:30am eastern there hasn’t been a real bounce down 3% from open at that point. You come in get calls and bet on a complete V if it works 5 to 10x your money. The further there is no real bounce the less of a bounce you need let’s say it’s 1:30 eastern down 3% now you only need a 1 to 2% pull up for a nice juice gain. Complete gamble you call it wrong and you lose everything.

Ah yes, but QQQ, where 9 of the 10 largest holdings are AI plays, and the other is Apple.
AI is way overvalued ✅ The bubble will pop ✅ Just fucking buy QQQ for now ✅
I have QQQ calls expiring this Monday at the 714 strike price. Can I get a 1% up day please?
You will need to have the infrastructure to listen to the OPRA data feed which is a multiple terabyte data stream per day in real time to establish whether the trades were a buy or a sell to an MM. It will still be fuzzy at best since most trading is inside the spread and you won’t know it the MM lifted that quote or some retail inside the spread order bought it. For anything that is in SPY/QQQ the MM positioning is based on the total book they hold across all tickers and looking simply at any of these in isolation gives you nothing useful. So unless you can replicate the MM book market wide and then also have a feel for whether they are over/under hedged based on their estimate of the stock valuation these GEX models are completely useless. I think you won’t even be able to get the step 1 of listening to the OPRA feed done in a cost effective way to make your service cheap. Forget the rest of the challenges.

Why keep basically anything? Put it in the market, IVV or QQQ, and if you ever need any money, sell!
What’s your strategy for scalping SPY and QQQ? Do you just wait for whichever way it’s trending for that day?
How much you're investing really depends on how much of that income needs to be spent (rent groceries other bills yk) then maybe go half and half with the rest spending money and investing, as for a portfolio split having a strong cash position is good and a moderate portion of your portfolio should be some kind of index fund like VOO or QQQ with low allocations for high volatility stocks or crypto as that can be beneficial but also blow up your portfolio with too high of an allocation, maybe use something like fidelity for your longer term holdings like bonds or gold
I’m up $100 share on a shit ton of QQQ since I bought it earlier this year. Then I had shares took profits on 1/3 of my Googl shares when it topped out a couple months ago. I was selling CC’s too. But then I’ve been betting 2x leveraged ETF’s ON METU, GGLL, BITU and ETU. Most made just not over trading
VOO, SPY, QQQ and keep adding your salary.
I’m up $47k YTD, mainly on GOOGL and QQQ. 🤣
Did this today on QQQ and walked out -61%
When will QQQ be done with its shenanigans
Yea we definitely aren’t full bull run bro!! (QQQ went up 10% in 2.5 weeks)
How you lost money on QQQ and SPY puts?
Someone Just Dropped $700K Betting Against the Nasdaq — $SQQQ Calls Hit the Tape It’s not every day you see a ~$700K call sweep hit $SQQQ — a -3x inverse leveraged Nasdaq-100 ETF built for short-term exposure (decays fast). This order swept 5,366 of the $40 calls expiring 09/04, with 92% of the premium trading at the ASK. That’s aggressive SQQQ call flow — effectively a bearish bet on $QQQ. Could it be a hedge? Absolutely. But given the size, urgency of the sweep, heavy ask-side execution, and availability of other non-fast-decaying hedging instruments, I’m treating this as a high-conviction directional bearish trade unless subsequent flow/OI tells us otherwise. 👀
SPY and QQQ up today just because of tesla LMAO
Clearly, you don’t read the news, catalysts, or recent developments that directly affect QQQ before making informed and accurate decisions. Sorry for your loss
I just went full tilt on TSLA and QQQ Calls. God help me if next week goes badly. Roadster rumors that it will have FSF and take your directly to the moon
retarded trading day!!! I got cheated out of my Tesla 350 calls and then shorted Tesla at 354. Then once I was down 80%, I recovered all of it for a 5% profit on QQQ calls and puts, but mostly calls. That big green candle really evened my losses. Fuck Tesla!
2 hours…QQQ has been +- .2 lmao
After these two utter shit weeks, I'm going to gamble on next week being up. I mean, NVDA can't possibly stay flat/go down after crushing earnings. If it does, at that point, it will have a single digit PE. So, EOW QQQ Calls. Let's go!
$SPY $QQQ At higher 10yr rate, how many buy house and expensive EV-car, when AI doing BigTech layoffs
I said… RE-PIN QQQ TO 713.65 :screech: :screech:
QQQ fighting like hell not to drop back below 50 day moving average lmao
Im full porting QQQ puts right now. Im about to make 500k
How do you find trades and setups like this? I'm down to my last $1500 and all I do is lose money on QQQ 0dte. I'm literally on a 2 month losing streak. I was up nicely ytd in Q2 now all I do is just get chopped to pieces or immediately faded on my entries.
Of the equities sleeve in your portfolio, what percent are you comfy with putting in growth funds like QQQ?
:ahyes: back to the QQQ 713.65 pin
Would you look at that, QQQ pinned right where it opened, what are the odds :derp:
👨: Yeah, can I get a QQQ with a nonsensical pump, but no theta And then can I also get a pin at 715 for no reason into close… :wendys: yeah, I guess
$IWM lets see if my ai bot platform is accurate at all 😂🤌 It's Friday afternoon. 3.5 hours left. IWM sitting at $299.59, below VWAP, already failed the $300 test multiple times today. Friday afternoons in a range regime don't attract heroes. Nobody wants to carry small cap exposure into a weekend when yields are elevated, dollar debasement is the dominant macro narrative, and the index can't hold a round number that's been contested all day. The path of least resistance is a slow bleed into the close. Not a collapse. A drift. $298 handle by 4pm is my base case. Maybe $297 if someone decides to clean out the stops before the weekend. Volume is already thin. SPY is running 0.6M, QQQ 0.2M. Low volume Friday afternoons favor the side with less urgency to act and right now the bulls are the ones with urgency. They need the breakout. The bears just need to wait. The thing that changes that read? If crypto holds these gains into the close and generates genuine risk-on sentiment that bleeds into equities. BTC at $77,300 is a real number. That's not nothing. If that inspires actual buying in the last hour you might see IWM make another run at $300. But even if it does I don't think it closes above it cleanly. The pattern has been touch and reject all day. My actual number. $298.20 close. Give or take. Below $297 today would surprise me given the crypto backdrop. Above $300.50 clean close would tell me I'm wrong about the structure entirely.
I know QQQ gonna close below 710 and no one can convince me otherwise
When does QQQ decide to get its shit together
I started selling put options just a month ago - following a really helpful comment on Reddit. I am trying different strategies: I started with mag-7, and tried QQQ, TQQQ (!), PTC, JPM, DIS, PEP, NEXGEN.
i used to be able to predict QQQ direction to a pretty safe degree, now I am not in sync at all. just going to trade individual company stocks for the near future
$SPY $QQQ $BTC.X probably Crypto industry give money for midterm campaigns, that’s why all crypto discussions and vibes In reality it’s not going anywhere, crypto just trading scam
I sold my QQQ calls for +$95 I didn't want to hold that POS anymore
Take profit hit on QQQ. I'm out
