Ugh my QQQ calls went for almost double what I sold them for. Too much foot-dragging during the intraday session I am long AF on MSFT calls, almost dangerously long, will be a tense overnight for me
Someone is buying $1.9M+ worth of 8DTE $QQQ calls before close.
I sold my Feb QQQ puts around 10 AM. Was it you who bought them?
Shorted QQQ at 628.5, easy trade.
Dread it, run from it, destiny arrives all the same. QQQ calls.
Kept shorting QQQ at 627.6, rebuild the hedge.
Yes, Apple earnings will be good, but I still think QQQ goes down tomorrow just like today.
I just hopped in so that means QQQ 600 EOD tomorrow
Swinging OTM QQQ calls. aapl don’t disappoint pls
Impossible to tank when they throw green candles at every drop and make it V, but good luck. Maybe your random stock is tanking, but QQQ and SPY are still going to be back at ATH over and over again.
At this point I want some sci fi apocalypse shit to happen and drop QQQ to 2018 levels just because this feels egregious. It can’t *possibly* just go vertical forever.
i need timmer to save the QQQ
Continue to short QQQ at 627, it may go higher; just averaging up.
This is 3rd time QQQ attack the same resistance and gets pullback

VIX is spineless. Buy QQQ calls and be rewarded
If you end up down less than QQQ on days like today, you'll probably last pretty long here
\-3% compared to QQQ performance during past 3 days! Very terrible!
Shorted QQQ again at 625.5, 626 and 626.5; deja vu.
QQQ and SPY both made ATH's during the shutdown and when it ended they were up 2% from when it started. Just focusing on the shutdowns themselves

Nah bro that's not the answer. Everyone has taken an L on an investment, taking the L isn't what matters it's what you do from here. I've been there done that, lost and made tons of money and it really challenges your mental. It also challenges you to dig deeper into what you care about in life, what kind of life you want to live, what you're willing to do or give up, etc. Some people take an L, decide that it's not for them and the push deep into grinding to build a life. Nothing wrong with that. Others take the L, realize they care more about friendships and family and focus more on that. Then you have the real psychopaths like me who dig deeper, lock ourselves in and live in that pain. We live there, deep in that hole of misery and we focus on not just getting out but getting ahead. Ahead of what? Who? Ourselves and the mistakes we've made. Us psychopaths can see the outcome, we can feel what it's like to be several steps ahead and we pursue it like it's the only thing that matters. 99% of people are not psychopaths though and that means trading and lack of diversification isn't for most people. For most people, they should stick to SPY, VOO, QQQ, AAPL, etc. Everyone starts out learning about who they are, what pain can they tolerate, what they're willing to do, and they generally sort themselves into place within the first few years. This isn’t your failure, this is your wake up call to realize you need to figure out what you are and if you really care more about this than saturday football games
Don't insult our Queen Micron she's just a little tired after shielding us from a 2.2% QQQ drawdown
That could not have possibly taken any longer, jesus christ. Closed my QQQ 4dte calls, bought at 11:04 sold at 12:15 These calls were $1.80 at the beginning of the hour-long suppression period at 11:15 and $1.85 at the end of the suppression period at 12:00 despite QQQ going up over $2 during that period
dude, QQQ and SPY V-ing so hard without MSFT!
Zuck carries SPY and QQQ today lmao
You'll have to define the criteria for determining "best" first. What exactly are you trying to optimize? For example, if you are trying to maximize leverage and/or minimize max risk, using puts is the better choice vs. shorting shares. When to open is a function of the window of opportunity. When do you expect QQQ to go down? The tighter you can make that forecast, the easier it is to pick an entry and expiration date. If it's a fuzzy "any time between now and forever," it's much more difficult to pick entry and expiration. "End of the first quarter," is end of March, which is within 60 DTE if you start today, so today is fine to open. I like to keep options plays within 60 DTE. Or you could count backwards from the April monthly to 60 DTE and use that as the entry date. Then you straddle the end of March without forcing the exit time frame and expiration to be the same. Note that the max loss of $1000 puts a cap on your choice of expiration. There might not be any April contracts that are under $1000, which will force you to use a nearer expiration. If the exit was further out, say end of September 2026, I'd still pick the nearest monthly expiration to 60 DTE and just roll out every 30 days to the next monthly 60 DTE.
QQQ at 618: I aint buying that shit QQQ at 623: BUY!!! Look at that V
Go the fuck down QQQ.
I can't stop winning on swings, whatever bullshit decision I make QQQ keeps following me
damn, MSFT didn't move up at all with that QQQ V.
QQQ 628 is still the max pain price... surely it will work its way near there before eod
No you're fine I just mean I was watching VIX on 15 min and when it wicked was when I picked up calls. Looking at QQQ 625 or so for an intraday exit.
QQQ is moving over a dollar a minute. Wow
The whole market seems to be red today including risk assets: SPY, IWM, QQQ all down 1%+. I don't think we need to look for a reason for why weed stocks are dropping today
GLD and SLV back to ath in a bit, while QQQ and Spy will stay down lol
QQQ 628 is max pain price... surely it will try to work its way back before eod
honestly was thinking the same thing. QQQ was like 2$ from ATH. Probably a lot of traders playing that breakout getting shaken out today before the real rip
Darn good. I exited mine yesterday at a loss. I had 130 QQQ 625 puts. Hate myself for selling it yesterday
Sold my QQQ puts yesterday at a loss. I would’ve been $120,000 richer had I held

QQQ has gone down $11 in 60 minutes with no bounces hahaha wow

I thought I was smart buying weekly QQQ calls for tech earnings but my butt got taken.
Lmao soon QQQ will be down more than TSLA Clown world
Well, done for the day. Sold my QQQ calls last night for a tiny loss, and dumped all my GLD, SLV, and USO calls this morning for like a 300% gain across them all. Have to see how things shake out for the play tomorrow.
Covered more QQQ shorts at 622.7 (from 626.1, 626.4) and redemption day for 🐻
Dang, I liquidated my portfolio a few weeks before Liberation Day and went cash and ramped up on the metals. And just yesterday decided to go back into QQQ and SPY , at the top.

MSFT singlehandedly bringing down QQQ 0.5%
When will this fucking thing end? Revenue down 3% YoY Vehicles delivered down 9% YoY EPS down 47% YoY Shares outstanding up 1% YoY Stock price up 10% YoY Constant over promise and under deliver. Constant pivoting into new ideas, most of which go absolutely nowhere. But at the same time, the valuation has done nothing in 5 years. In that time, stock is only up 54%. Meanwhile VTI is up 75%, VOO is up 88%, and QQQ is up 101%. Basically everything TSLA could ever achieve is already priced in. I think the only direction this thing can go is sideways or down. Peak market irrationality
Meta single handedly keeping QQQ from the depths
Euphoria starts *NOW* I'm all in on QQQ calls and SPY shares. And ZSL, because screw the shillvers.
Im not going to go short on QQQ until at least 645 this is the break out its been waiting for... it'll run a bit
u/mobilefi is telling you the truth. Prices on stocks and ETFs will reflect current price in After Hours and Premarket trading. Options pricing stops updating at 4:00 pm except for a select few tickers like SPY or QQQ which go until 4:15 pm. Options pricing then adjusts for Theta (time) decay and change in Vega (volatility) and how those impact the price of the stock at 9:30 am. You can use the options calculator on a site like Barchart like mobilefi suggested or you can figure it out yourself using the greeks. Kind of difficult to do it this way but you can ballpark it Vega measures how much the contract moves per each percent of volatility up or down. Vega is $1.33 and volatility is 38% which means after earnings this might be a factor but when there is a huge jump up or down volatility will remain high so we will call that a wash for now. Now the Delta shows for every $1 the stock goes up your contract gains $.3446. The Gamma shows how much Delta will rise per $1 which is $.0027. So META going up $2 means the contract gains $.3446+$.3446+$.0027=$.6919 The calculator on Barchart shows the option price to be around $54.00 at open
Half of this guys comments is just shorting QQQ
Covered some QQQ shorts around 633.5 (from 636, 636.2, 636.7) and scalped profit, 💰
Nah I have puts. QQQ to 650 by eow
I did QQQ puts on Friday thinking I was a genius. Now I'm down $750. It only goes up every day
QQQ to 645 today and I retire.
Yeah, this is it... I wouldn't start shorting QQQ until 645
Forget the posts on here where someone makes 7000%. If everyone posted, you'd be seeing more losers than winners, outside the bull markets. You're young enough to just buy major companies or etfs and ignore them for 30 years. Where is tech going to be when you're 40? Think about QQQ maybe?! Looking everyday & second guessing every buy just leads to a slow drift down as you take profits prematurely and panic over losses. IMO
Fk you MSFT - Fk you NVDA I’m gonna cram these QQQ calls up your anoos.
Limp dick AMD down -3% in overnight trading while QQQ is currently +1.5%
Hi all! My wife and I are new to stocks and wanting to diversify. I have a TSP through the military (active duty) and we have a few real estate investments but I am brand new to investing beyond the occasional Facebook video talking about QQQ and what I have seen on here in passing. looking for a little guidance on where to get started with $500/mo or so. any help is greatly appreciated!
Let’s have a beautiful green Friday with Meta helping to pull SPY and QQQ together as the real valuation is digested… Futes already green. I think we will be okay despite of the disappointment with Microsoft and the already expected bad numbers from Tesla
but i beat the QQQ and sp500 over the 5 years by a fairly decent margin. also it's fun for me haha
AAPL better crush tomorrow or QQQ is gonna go down the gutter with it
BTC dump as always. back to 86k if QQQ dip even a tiny bit
Spy and QQQ charts seem perfectly made to destroy premiums while making you believe you might have a chance if you maybe let it go down to 0.
I've been swing trading the QQQ ETFs for five years and haven't had this issue. I'm using the Alchemy5Edge trading signal of the QQQs and they have a great track record. They might be a good fit for you.
SPY barely +0.10% tomorrow with all of the QQQ/SMH dragging Microsoft up to -4% on the day.
Whats happenings? QQQ is up in AH... Gold is up, Silver up.
