I appreciate you taking the time and trying to help, but I don't use these charts for a reason. Besides knowing my breakeven already with mental math they have a huge flaw, do you actually find it helpful? Not trying to be rude genuinely interested. I'm only explaining this because I'm guessing that you want to understand the trade better? Sorry if I'm making an inaccurate assumption. I already own the 100 shares of MU. I sell covered calls so I only use round lots ( 100 ), you can't write a CC without 100. Not to mention mathematically while it can be done I think putting on a hedge when you don't own 100 shares of the underlying is inefficient. If it was me I would be deploying into sector specific ETFs if I didn't have the capital to go into the single stocks. I'm very fortunate to be in a position where I am able to buy the stocks outright 100 shares at a time, and I think being able to do this completely changes the game. I think the profit / loss diagram is not very helpful, all these tools treat trades as a set it and forget it rather than a position to be managed. Rolling and managing positions seems to get a bad rap, but on stocks like MU you're not crossing the bid ask spread that much, and with walked limit orders you are getting filled at the midpoint / slightly better. Not managing doesn't make sense to me. If the downside hedge becomes worthless due to a melt up you roll it up to lock in a new synthetic floor, taking advantage of volatility to lock in your gains. Simultaneously when the short body is tested you roll it down and out. I would probably roll the short body and the long wing together to keep another hedge in place, eg try moving the short puts to 840 and the long put from 780 to 800. Go for a net credit, compress them closer together when tested. I'm looking to do things like model if it's better to compress the puts closer together or if it's more optimal to move the short body as far down as possible. There doesn't seem to be anyway to simulate this and various strategies / scenarios. I'm looking for ways to model this management, as well as any research papers or resources in ways to model different ratios and ways to take advantage of the volatility surface, best practices to optimize the hedge ( rolling up at 5 or 10%), va keeping the wing of the protective puts in place and simply rolling the short puts up to create another BWB at the higher strike. EG the old 980 long put becomes the new wing of a BWB at let's say 1200 long / 1080 x 2 Short rolled from 860 / keep the 980 and 780 long puts in place. Likewise I want to see how this strategy would have worked on the QQQ and different ways to manage / change the ratios. My statistical analysis capability is above average, but I was terrible at linear algebra. I'm not able to model the Variance-Covariance of the strategy. Thank you again for taking the time to respond, let me know if I can clarify anything.
Does feel like we’re due for another leg up looking at QQQ calls myself
I have a 730 calll on QQQ I’m cooked
but everyone will want my QQQ shares yes yes :kek:
SPY and especially QQQ, look at Korea right now, this is what you should be fucking doing.

Having FOMO for not buying any SPY or QQQ puts today 😔
That’s what I’m doing lately. I get mad at SPY and QQQ Gaines, and bad against them every day😆
All calls all balls to Labor Day QQQ 777
Pro tip: if you have a particularly successful month, forcefully tie up all your money in SPY/QQQ shares for a week or two until the euphoria wears off so you don't give it all back trying to double up on a huge gain
It's a Roth. Get aggressive. You want big gains. Big tech. It's not going anywhere. Big tech will run this world for at least another 100 years. QQQ Voog, SMH,FYEE (8% dividend)

Well SPY and QQQ fuck around all day probably
They are, per the prompt. The account balance was low and I wasn’t putting two and two together. Pretty sure RH doesn’t allow naked option shorts. I am just used to SPY and QQQ.

QQQ said fuck your everything. Theta gang getting rich.
AMZN, GOOG, and NVDA all being sold down on weak protective puts, while garage stocks get pumped, all so ole QQQ can burn theta
QQQ is has been on hard mode for a bit. Impossible to trade, especially market open.
today i bought $723 put for QQQ as it was going down. they kissed and went the opposite direction. 3 days in a row ive been alaughtered by Odtes. i should have paper traded.
QQQ 725 is bright BOUGHT in volume, do with that what you will.

Buying 1DTE QQQ calls on days closing red. It really is that easy.
It's because I bought a QQQ strangle. It'll be 720 for 1 month
yes QQQ and spy are flat lmao
I went all in on QQQ calls, lambo or Wendy's. Inshallah.
QQQ puts expiring Friday is such an obvious play.
SPCX when listed it had 1% weight in QQQ, now I see Nasdaq slowly increased its weightage to 4.5%, which is huge (more than META). All our regard bros were shorting this stock last week because of additional stocks, but all sales (if any) were absorbed by QQQ
He's a taaaaad late. Would've been a good thought two weeks ago when QQQ had faded 11% lol.
I’ve been holding QQQ shorts since opening bell and still haven’t sold
I haven’t trusted this market since that -5% QQQ day following PPI two months ago
SPY is ATH QQQ has mostly recovered SMH is still 10% behind, but already bounced back a lot
you don't need to short anthopric's IPO. You can just short the SPY or QQQ if you think this IPO will go poorly. because all the big players, Microsoft, Amazon, Google and many others are in deep to both anthropic and openAI. if those IPOs go badly, we'll tank the entire stock market. Amazon is ALREADY reporting profit from their anthropic holding going up... they had $17B revenue they REPORTED from it.... now imagine that vanishes. we're talking about a structural bear market. we'll see what happens. for my portfolio's sake, i hope it goes well. ai research: # OpenAI * **Microsoft (Primary Backer):** The original anchor, holding roughly 27% of the company. * **Other Big Tech:** Massive 2026 secondary commitments from Amazon (up to $50 billion), Nvidia ($30 billion), and SoftBank ($30 billion). * **OpenAI Foundation:** The nonprofit arm that holds roughly 26% and maintains board control. * **Founders & Employees:** Hold approximately 25% of the equity. * **Venture Capital:** Key institutional investors include Thrive Capital, Andreessen Horowitz, D.E. Shaw, MGX, and Khosla Ventures. # Anthropic * **Amazon (Primary Backer):** Committed up to $25 billion, generating massive accounting gains from the rising valuation. * **Google / Alphabet:** The secondary tech backer with commitments up to $40 billion. * **Internal Governance:** Regulated by a Long-Term Benefit Trust designed to prevent any single investor from gaining total control. * **Founders & Employees:** Significant stakes are held by founders Dario and Daniela Amodei alongside early staff. * **Venture Capital:** Major institutional backers include Spark Capital, Menlo Ventures, Salesforce Ventures, Coatue, Fidelity, and Temasek.
you're selling these puts? crap. that means QQQ is going down tomorrow.

This is what I do. I just run ICs on QQQ, SPY, & SPX. I don’t take a trade below 85% POP. It’s brains dead simple money, BUT, ya kinda need at least a 200k account to make meaningful money. Actually, depending on how much you need 100k could be meaningful but you’d have to tie up like 80% NLV as you dance between economic news drops to keep Vol on your side
I was correct to sell my QQQ calls at beginning of day. nice..

And sold my QQQ calls for 125% profit. Puts would be my next move but im just gonna sit the rest of the day out
QQQ still far below all time high think about that a lot of room to mooh
If we rip, SPY or QQQ calls for bigger money?
spy and QQQ calls fuck it i got nothing else today
I won't lose much if I'm wrong. I'll cut loss at QQQ 730 because the charts demand it
Not sure if I should short QQQ now or after the fake pump at open
SPY and QQQ 3% auto pilot type of day
SPY, QQQ for starters
VOO wasn't moving like I wanted after several years. It was slow. I'd suggest you look at SPMO or QQQ.
QQQ please end up 3.5% end of day that’s all I ask
CPI irrelevant. QQQ still maintaining pattern. It has to close above 730 today to invalidate bearish consolidation
When you get about 50k , you may be able to get approved for Naked options. Spy, QQQ will require about 8k-12k in Buying Power (could be cash, could be securities (Sgov , treasuries, AAPL). So waiting around for 70k is kinda silly. Also another fallacy on Reddit is that if you are assigned you have to keep the stock for ever, 10 seconds after market open, you just dump it , take the loss and move forward.
Oil up +9% in two days = buy QQQ puts. QQQs pump. I must commit sudoku
3% to 5% QQQ movement possible. At least 5% by EOW
I am not a baker but I bake pastried, bread and cookies. Make some cake too. Frday my portfolio gets liquidated if QQQ doesn't do at least 735 $ by EOW
The magic lines say QQQ is going to 700-710
I think you are directionally right, but the stock is likely to take a dive after IPO regardless, following an initial pop to an unhinged valuation over several days to months, because that's simply how IPOs tend to work. Shorting on day 1 is incredibly risky and not worth doing because it's going to be massively hyped and there's going to be loads of FOMO. If SpaceX was any indication, brokers are going to aggressively push it to retail - with fairly predatory offers to 'put you in a queue' to buy at an unknown market price after the IPO goes live instead of or in addition to being added to the real pre-IPO queue. The banks underwriting them tend to deliberately underprice IPOs relative to what they think people will pay for it to create a day one pop, because a 'failed IPO' forces them to buy shares. When it's being valued at 2-3 trillion dollars and the analysts are arguing that it should be the 'Mag8' is when it becomes a prime target for shorting, but that's also when it will seem most unwise given the vertical movement needed to get there first. And you're still screwed if you start shorting then and it briefly pops to a Nvidia valuation for some reason before collapsing back down to 1 trillion. Bear in mind that the Nasdaq has made abusive recent rule changes, and the real free float will likely be smaller than the weighting funds like QQQ are forced to buy shares towards. Margin shorting is incredibly dangerous because the downside is theoretically uncapped - if the stock doubles, you are in deep trouble - but your broker would margin call you long before that happens and you lose all your money faster even if you turn out to be right the day afterwards. Shorting via buying shares of inverse (and worse, inverse leveraged) instruments means you can't lose more than 100% of your money, but you can and will get wiped out if you time it wrong, and overnight decay/fees means you're not supposed to hold these instruments for anything other than day trading. That said, these instruments will probably appear within days of Anthropic going live, because they did for SpaceX. Early on the tiny pool of shares also makes shorting prohibitively expensive - you need someone to lend shares early on, and the banks underwriting the IPO are banned from lending shares for a while. Lenders can recall shares and force you to sell at the worst possible time. I think you should steer well clear of Anthropic. I agree with your thesis, but 'AI as a commodity' is hard to trade without doing incredibly risky shorting - the benefits will be diffuse and spread throughout the wider economy, and you're best off just going with an index fund and not overweighting western AI names.
Whenever people talk about “CPI tomorrow” implying that means you have to plan for it and prepare for the “OVERNIGHT RISK” I challenge you to do one thing: Without cheating, point to CPI on the chart of the $QQQ anywhere in the past. Where is this CPI move on the chart? Just a thought exercise. SHOW ME THE CPI ON THE CHART
Yesterday I bought QQQ calls. Not today
Trying to figure out what date to buy my 700p on QQQ
