$SPY $QQQ can we ever go back to BlackBerry, and leave without smartphones ? can we ever go back to Yellow-Cab , without $LYFT and $UBER ? Can we ever do coding by humans ? Can we ever go without internet? In few years , ask, Can we ever go back to SAAS , without AI modified ERP. Or $IGV
NVDA earnings pump is 100% markets last hurrah. Loaded tf up on QQQ puts at close. I am officially gay ber now
I'm kind of tired of this market. Might just QQQ and chill.
I can't see anything bullish in this market even as a bull. You 🌈🐻 are neither safe. I just want this to crash hard and blow up in 🥭 face. Give me SPY -20-25% and QQQ -20% down. No one is having fun anymore, we need a hard reset.
Of course we could. But as you said, it depends on many factors. Maybe the real question is: what would it take for the QQQ to break out of that channel? Which tailwinds would have the highest impact, etc? I don't have those answers for you right now, but I am sure you could find out if you spend time researching that.
Damn. QQQ options didn’t execute by close… Guess we’re parlaying to tomorrow.
I thought you were asking if the subreddit could please stop talking about QQQ stocks. Which I mean, fair.
What in the hell was that on QQQ
hot damn QQQ - mooning while NVDA dips. Interesting
QQQ 728 tomorrow. Easy money, please keep shorting this market, I love all you gambling addicted put buyers
In my younger years i did some dividend chasing not accepting that i needed to focus on growth instead. A tale as old as time. Anyway my dividend positions never surpassed my index funds but i have had some money in them 8k and 7k in SPYD and SCHD respectively. I also have recently sold 4k of SCHD that I’ve been sitting on. Im 30 and looking for quicker/slightly aggressive growth so im not scared of something like TQQQ but i was thinking maybe a step back from that like QQQ or QQQM or some sort of allocation strategy for QQQ/QQQM, TQQQ, and VTI. My question is what would you do? Consolidate out of the dividend funds? If so, what would you go into?
Mostly agree with the mechanics. Sign inference is the fatal flaw and you're right to lead with it — every vendor is guessing who bought and who sold, and the quote-rule error rates on spreads and combos make that guess worse than most people assume. Counterparty is the other one. A large share of the other side is vol funds, dispersion desks and systematic overwriters, not a delta-hedging dealer book. And nobody hedges SPX or QQQ gamma by trading SPX or QQQ. They hedge the book, in futures, in a basket, discretely, with a tilt. The 0DTE OI lag is the sharpest point in the post and it doesn't get made enough. Same day you have no OI. You're reconstructing from volume with assumed signs and no way to separate opening from closing unless volume clears prior OI. That's the weakest possible input environment for the metric, and it's exactly where retail leans on it hardest. Where I'd push back: You're conflating "the causal story is unverifiable" with "the levels carry no information." Those are separate claims. Strike concentration is observable whether or not you correctly infer who's hedging what. Pinning shows up empirically without anyone needing to get dealer sign right. An unmeasurable mechanism doesn't mean an absent footprint. "Dealer gamma is often positive rather than negative" isn't a refutation. That's a finding about sign, not existence. Positive gamma predicts suppression and mean reversion — that's the mechanism running in the other direction, not failing. And the literature isn't settled against it. It's mixed. There's real published work on gamma and realized vol / fragility effects that cuts the other way. What you've actually indicted is the retail products, not the concept — and that indictment mostly lands. They sell a positioning measurement and deliver a positioning estimate built on three stacked inferences, with no error bars disclosed. Two vendors will hand you different zero-gamma levels off the same chain, which tells you it isn't a measurement. Your carve-out is the right conclusion. Regime as a sizing and expectation input, not a direction input. I'd add one: it's fine as a passive location and target reference as long as it never generates a trade on its own. If it's step five of eight and a trigger has to fire before you act, the sign error can't compound into your P&L. If it's step one, you've built on sand. Disclosure since it's relevant — I trade QQQ 0DTE daily and publish gamma reads, so I'm not neutral. But the position above is where you land after using it every session, not despite it.
Catch the SPY or QQQ dips
SPY and QQQ gonna close grey because f*** me in particular... right?
Sold my QQQ puts too soon. I still made money, but I want more money. Am I making sense to you?
If QQQ drops to 700 I'll give free BJs behind wendy's for happy hour
IWM has outperformed SPY & QQQ over the past year
Soldd my QQQ calls wayyy to early
$SPY $QQQ Fundamentals getting worse, Algo vibe here and there very short term Japan Yen crash, Treasury helpless at higher rate. 40 Trillion Debt, all has impact coming soon
QQQ 713 incoming... watch out.
They ran QQQ to the pre-market low and ripped it straight back up. Savages.
Sold QQQ puts too early damn it. Still a nice 8% gain
How is it that QQQ is only up 1%?
Semis stagnant while QQQ jumps back near ATH. Sad day for semi holders
You do realize that NVDA, SPY, and QQQ are still down from ATH
We’re about to rip hard into tomorrow. Super bull mode. Loaded up on QQQ and WULF
I did know QQQ was a hibachi restaurant. Enough with the chop and go somewhere.
im such a paper handed bitch - My NVDA and QQQ Calls paid off, but if I had held those CRWD $200 Calls, I'd be wiling right now.
QQQ will end 3% up today. Inshallah.
You can kind of feel it in your bones that spy and QQQ won’t hold
Tropicalia lost it all on QQQ poots and went back to being a bull lmao
QQQ chart rn is a scalper’s wet dream
hey QQQ, dont be flat after i bought the top !
Made 25% on my little QQQ 8/31 713C that I bought right before the bell yesterday just for the memes. Good enough.
Weird feeling spy will be stagnant today. QQQ seems to have larger rips or dips daily
Google red again while QQQ is roaring…
wait for the next un-reasonable dip on a commodity or stock and buy leaps. See MSFT, META, GLD, QQQ(under 700) etc
in my experience most of the move for SPY, QQQ happens overnight
If you 'playin' around, I'd do 2x leverage stocks rather than futes. Robinhood needs a certain amount of up front money. if you think today is bigly, go into 2x position for QQQ. If today is ugly, 2x inverse. keep it simple big dawg.
This seems too good to be true. I bought NVDA and QQQ Calls.
If u own SPY or QQQ you own about 10% $NVDA. If you factor in the fact that many stocks move in sympathy with NVDA, you have very high exposure to NVDA already. Like it or not, you don't have a choice here. $NVDA is here.
QQQ calls with long term strike dates on the money, buy low sell high
QQQ puts at open, sh!t drilling
QQQ breaking out of its bollinger band while the Aroon Oscillator looks overbought. However there is a lot of room to grow in its Darvas box. The stochastic momentum index also shows a lot of potential
QQQ closes green more or less than 2.5% tomorrow?
Switching to QQQ but same plan, watch the first 30 minutes to see if we're just going to chop all day or what. Set the take profit and then be done for the day.
Haven’t even checked my port, already know my QQQ calls are printing at open
I'm sorry guys but market makers will not allow nvidia friday calls to expire ITM. expect two red days on QQQ, it is what it is.
bought QQQ 712C expiring tomorrow at the bell ring ring muthafkrs
QQQ $724 exp tomorrow $730 exp Friday, you dumping into whatever green there is at open or holding?
It still could, but I was really hoping for QQQ to open at like 720 in the morning so I can get puts. Who knows.
I'm selling my NVDA and SOXX tomorrow will put a bit into QQQ instead but I know I will hate myself for not taking the gains from the past couple years. Please call me a pussy, its ok get it out of your system.
Bers looking at QQQ right now in total disbelief lmfaooooo
QQQ is already up to $718. He's about to lose 70% of that trade by tomorrow morning. That's if QQQ doesn't add another 2-3 points because the Korean Degens saw NVDA green shrek bar.
QQQ calls tomorrow morning?
Hopefully 719 acts as support for QQQ now
closer to aug 19th... but QQQ all time high was almost 3 months ago...
Got my charts confused, I thought QQQ was at 770
My SPY calls expiring 9/30 looking alright. My QQQ puts expiring Friday... not alright
Bought a QQQ put as a hedge ended up just losing money for no reason lmao
I need QQQ up 3% tomorrow. Let's go!
