I just woke up - dreamt about placing a 10K 0DTE call order, not getting filled, I refreshed and QQQ is 1.5%! Up in a second
QQQ 800 eow thanks for SI
Get ready for Uptobull next week. QQQ +5.5%
congrats on the run, but 14,000% in 15 days is a classic tail event; the next month could wipe it all after you pull 7.5k out. in 1‑dte QQQ, you’re betting on only a few hours of volatility, so keep a separate 'real earnings' bucket and don’t keep adding to the same positions after every win.
So QQQ is kinda fucked if tech ever crashes tho yeah?
Why buy QQQ puts. Tech companies are ripping. Memory booming, software coming back, CPU companies booming. What am I missing
QQQ took 15 years to recover from the dot com crash btw
I guess IMO, the multi month rally JUST started. QQQ hit ATH after multi month consolidation. Many tech/ai stocks just broke their downtrend lines. Many momentum stocks are still beaten down 30-40% from the recent selloff. If anything, now is the time to add exposure to tech/ai and ride this wave back up. The market REALLY REALLY wants to go up. As soon as this Iran war is over, yields will plummet, oil will go down, rate hike fears calm down, and market will go ballistic. I wouldn’t want to be on the sideline in cash when this happens. The time to build cash position will be a couple months from now, after the rally that has literally just started.
Not here regard. QQQ and chill until you have fuck you money to trade with
Come back when you’ve yolo’ed the $130K on QQQ options.

VTI would probably be safest, but QQQ tends to gain more annually, and they are pretty correlated.
buy 25 0dte 735 QQQ puts and hope for a crash
QQQ puts last week I’m guessing?
I have my boring retirement in SPY/QQQ but do have a decent cash position too.
Just in time for indexes to eat shit as a result of the AI bubble pop. Those index funds are more than 40% AI bubble whether you choose VT, SPY or QQQ. But I'm with you in solidarity. 25% SPY, 25% VT, 25% SPYI, 10% TQQQ and 5% TLT for the rest of the year. Rest in money market. Will probably sell weekly 2% OTM calls on the SPY position. YOLO.
I did a bunch of study and trial for myself that has evolved over time. Tried many different ways. The way I do it now is 1. I only do them with SPY and QQQ primarily and IWM, DIA, GLD secondary when charts look stable. 2. 30 to 35 dte for higher premium 3. 15 deltas (I dont think about this much I just do) 4. Once position is taken I enter an exit. My exit was 55% profit (pay back 45% if credit received) 50% to me and 5% to cover commissions Currently since July 1 when I started doing this I am 85% success rate. As soon as I exit the position (depending on chart or if Friday wait for Monday) I re-enter position. Reset prices if you will and keep repeating. For most part I am only in the position for 11 to 12 days before exiting. As for a protection which I had to do with IWM and DIA this last week. I set an alert $5 away from shorts on DIA, IWM, GLD ($10 away from shorts on QQQ and SPY) and if breach I give it 1 day to correct or just exit. I generally lose about $100 to $200 on that position if that happens. Depends on amount risked per condor But upon re positioning I make back. As for strike distance for QQQ and SPY I use $20 from short strikes. IWM, DIA and GLD this I vary for increasing the premium but for most part $15 from short strike. I used to try to hold for entire credit but I found with IBKR if go too late it gets hard to exit and in some cases cannot exit both legs at all so I do this process. I do about 10 trades a month keeping my risk spread out amongst the 5 ETFs (when chart works) IWM and DIA arent great right now.

Down $27,500 over past 3 weeks relative to QQQ.
!banbet 3d QQQ -1.25%
The breakeven only applies at expiration. Before then a 0DTE condor can swing hard from gamma and wide spreads even while QQQ stays inside the range and Robinhood may close it early to avoid assignment. This messy four leg stuff is why a simple up or down call on moon feels cleaner when the idea is directional
Most companies within spy and QQQ are in a pretty significant correction with yields at 2002 levels and we’re just chilling at ATH while promising to print another 1.5 trillion for “$5000 dividend checks” if they win midterms. Lmao.

Congrats bro, it's very stressing to trade 0DTEs and 1DTEs on SPY, QQQ, etc.. Time is against you
But I need it now for QQQ 0dte
I think most investors have that point where they see their average return over the past 5 or 10 years, then look at SPY or QQQ and realize how much money they lost by picking stocks, or especially options.
… bro after three years you’re back where you started hahahah should have just dumped it into SPY or QQQ.
is this a sign to do QQQ options?
QQQ is one of the easiest ETFs to trade if you can keep up with what's happening in tech and current affairs.
I have $100k in “SPY” and “QQQ” PUTS on Monday. HEAVY PUTS. If you ask me, it’s going to be a crash like you’ve never seen before! It will be revolutionary! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
4 day life cycle of a bear: 1.) Sell your puts for -86% loss at Friday close after QQQ pumps 3% in a week 2.) Market opens -2% Monday and miss out on a 15x bagger 3.) Buy puts again and the market V’s to flat and your position is -85% again 4.) End of life

#QQQ is pretty sneaky. It's quietly up 13% in the last 2 months. LMAO🤌
i settled on 180 because in the daily QQQ the 180 line lines up with the 20‑day blocks of sweet‑spot turns; 200 was just slightly behind the action. that lag is fat in a 1‑DTE swing. i've back‑tested a handful of months and 180 had the quickest cue. the 200 is a good sanity check when it crosses but i use it less.
AMD maybe But buying QQQ shouldn't be considered insider-trading bro.
This is the 'evidence' stock for him. On the other hand, 99% of his portfolio is QQQ and AMD calls ;)
How the f is QQQ at ATH? All of my tech stocks are not even close to ATH
NDX is even better. I fall asleep trading QQQ.
Just caught the QQQ on days with major moves
I started a month ago, trading spy $940 to $8k (took out 2k to pay bills). Should i switch my plays to QQQ? Too unlucky to hit it big like you but i’d like 50k in next 2 months!
My biggest wins and losses are with QQQ. I hate it so fucking much but boy I'm ready for another tour in NASDAQistan. Glhf
QQQ I haven’t played yet. Been cautiously learning with SPY. Might have to dabble, and yeah I know results may vary. See you in the casino Monday.
Just invest in s&P and live off interest. Maybe VUG and QQQ in some percentage, with about 2m in savings at 4%
Once QQQ overtakes SPY.. you know things are cooked
#Most people didn't notice that Nasdaq/QQQ touched a new ATH this week LMAO🤌
We could dump $100 on QQQ and still be up $40 YTD
Cant believe QQQ was 610 in January
I got a QQQ 747 put for Monday, what we thinking the open is fellas
QQQ has beaten the S&P for 400 years.
Yes I 100% do. Do me a favor and look up how often an index like QQQ makes a ATH, after making a new ATH. Usually next ATH is a day or two later, followed by another ATH a few days after that, and so on.
I closed out my calls. But have 7 figures in shares. QQQ just hit ATH today, as well as NVDA. Other high flying stocks also hit ATHs this week. Many stocks just broke their down trendlines to the upside. I like my odds of going higher
That’s insane. You could have Risk only $5000 to double it if you bought QQQ yesterday.
+18.5% YTD active trading 💪💪💪💪💪 Could have just thrown it into QQQ on Jan 1 for way less effort 😭😭😭😭😭
What a fucking day. I would’ve made nearly 20k this morning between IWM, QQQ and Crdo calls. I sleep in for the first time in a fucking century 😡😡 some of my calls were up but I got mad, insta sold everything and I revenge traded myself to a 5k hole, double down and got a pop to sell for a 40% gain. I threw every cent into VST Oct 16 150c which I was down 25% on and 5 min later there is an announcement for a nuclear plant loan from the feds, instantly whole position 40% up. Holding the rest of the contracts for next week came out with 6k. Fucked
Buys calls or puts at least 3 months out. Protect capital and then gamble on ODTEs on anything with a RSI below 30. Or on SPY or QQQ for fun. But only risk what you can afford to lose. This is worth a $500,000 subscription but it's free for you champ.
QQQ face ripper next week
I only bought 10k worth of puts so I can feel something this weekend. Had no plays . Just yoloed 10k randomly ngl . QQQ 749p 10/6
What happens first - SPY 800 or QQQ 800?
Still have 12 minutes for lottos on SPY or QQQ.
I remember you begging the mods to pin the hotline after a 2% down on QQQ. Sit the fuck down.

Love the "This market is so flat" comments when QQQ is up 1% on the day. Are you not entertained?!
Nothing like watching options expire worthless cause QQQ decided to flatline
was that a short on QQQ a few minutes ago?
Was it theta that sent QQQ to all time high today?
$SPY $QQQ $XLF $XLK $XLC $XLY $SMH $IWM see earnings soon. Vix spike to 25 at earning. Cash flow negative for many. AI-ponzi spending. Big corporate debt load, cost more to service at higher rate. Earning suffer, as jobloss spike, consumer spending down

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL u/Tropicalia84 SYCOPHANTS WHO BOUGHT CALLS ON THE QQQ DAILY “LOW”!!! YOU ARE OFFICIALLY A THETALITY!!
There a ton of good investments right now. Have you not seen the QQQ making new highs?
QQQ 730 today would be wonderful
SPY/QQQ just biding time. Doesn’t want to give up the Gap up too soon.
QQQ new home is 750
I wanted yo short the top an hour ago. But felt it would just relentless pump +3% on QQQ
Why is memory down when QQQ up? Did I miss some AI news?
How does QQQ look for calls?
Well you may have picked the perfect time to sell. QQQ started going back up right after you sold. Good on you for taking the 3k. A lesser man would have held.
Already down 1k on my QQQ calls damn POSSSS
bers calling for a crash when QQQ down 5 ucs lmao
QQQ gonna get pinned at this level? If it supports, I think this is the support for a rally going into mid terms, barring any bad Iran news.
QQQ -5% today would reflect reality somewhat
Sold 0dte QQQ calls for 40% loss it will go back up now
FUCK!! QQQ is only up 1% today! Bears win again! (Their puts went from -92% to -77%
Key level here on QQQ to support. If it breaks, everyone holding calls is fucked.
Made 2k in 5 minutes on QQQ puts, and I am out for the day ✌️
QQQ @ 752.4 will be today’s low. Mark this comment.
I mean, it might. Oil and interest rates were way down going into this morning, but they’ve been rising steadily for the past hour now. There IS a war going on, after all. The market might be throwing bills at the QQQ like it’s a stripper right now, but by EOD everyone could be running for the door.
