I’m up 800% on my SOXL leaps. But I also didn’t buy at ATHs.

"SOXL leaps" SOXL is not intended for long-term holding.

Thank you! **SOXL** is triple-leveraged, as you probably know, so watch that dude closely. Those 3 in the screenshot above are the ones I'm going to put my sister's money in Monday, so I'm comfortable recommending them to anyone. But have you seen [how I screen ETFs on Barchart](https://imgur.com/a/screening-etfs-on-barchart-zLCc55F)? That's what I did today, and those 3 above (**ICLN**, **XBI**, **SMH**) are the ones I picked based on their smoothness. You can find "higher," but you won't find smoother over the past 3 months. Do you know how to calculate the leverage you're getting with LEAPS Calls? If you really think about the insane returns they offer, you'd be happy to 'settle' for smoother returns over **volatile** potentially-higher ones. Cheers!

lsjuanislife

Great advice! Holding SOXL leaps, should probably grab some others, any you like?

Not a stock. An ETF. TQQQ but traded actively. Outperforms sitting longterm just to save taxes. SOXL and FAS work too. Again, actively traded to buffer against unexpected but eventual drawdowns without the risk too big to fail actually fails. Seen too many of them. Much easier to trade an index or sector as it holds the top stocks which adds diversification without having to rebalance or track a slew of stocks.

$6800 on SOXL today. Makes up for me eating shit on HOOD.

MikeHoncho1323

Haven’t yet, but I’ve been 1-3% off break even like 5 times after the initial rug only to drop down another 5-8% in an instant on SOXS/SOXL

MikeHoncho1323

Can SOXL dump past $36 for more than a literal 2 seconds? Or are we gonna be held above there artificially until the world falls apart 😑

sharkenleo

Rotating back into leveraged ETFs like SOXL, TNA, TQQQ.

MikeHoncho1323

Dude why does SOXL keep bouncing off $36 the second it touches 😑. Up almost $3 now from then I should’ve just fucking sold instead of counting on a continued sell off

nigelnyc1

SOXL starting to tank again in AH. I guess margin calls still need to be met!

DJ_LilSmoke

Day 1000 of asking Douglas Yones to remove TXN from SOXL. Mfer looks like a calculator too

dimethylhyperspace

I know but I'm holding oklo which is down 18%, SOXL which is down 12.5%...im talking about my own personal desire to panic sell

"Why would I sell SOXL on a +5% day"... "oof, probably should have sold friday"... "aaaaaahhhh! wtf?!"

Affectionate-Text-49

Have you considered selling SOXL Puts?

Winter_Present_4185

Yeah, I noticed that... I wonder why. I shorted SOXL at $41.80 (SOXS) when first candle dropped 2 minutes before close.

Wayne_Kurr_1

I remember looking at SOXL when it was at $8.58 a couple months ago and thinking it was too expensive.

I’m SO glad I didn’t panic sell when all the data and my gut pointed to another dump. No clue that’s gonna happen on Monday but today we fall. SOXL is down 5% already and it’s not even 4am yet

I’m up a ton on SOXL this year and have losses on SOXS since it reverses so goddamn fast. I thought the market would be down for a few days atleast with all these tariffs but clearly it doesn’t give a single fuck for more than 4 hours

AandA248

If you like semis then look into SOXL, 3x leveraged semi etf. You can either make a lot or lose a lot quickly

MikeHoncho1323

Are you blind? Look at SOXL chart this whole week, each dip has absolutely rocketed up.

I do the opposite of what you do. 1. Buy shares of high IV securities ( RGTI USAR SOXL...) 2. Sell Put 4-6 weeks out well below buy price. I aim to spend the income of 1 CC on the Put for 6-8 CC. 3. Sell weekly Covered Calls ATM. If I get assigned, I just buy the shares on Monday and do it again. I can collect up to 6 times . I can adjust Put depending on where I buy the call for pennies.

Peeeeech

Not worth the hassle when you can just trade SOXL forever. It follows the NASDAQ without all the liquidity. Wall Street ruined it

cinJESUS

buying SOXL calls today 👀

X-Boozemonkey-X

If true my SOXL is gonna moon

Affectionate-Text-49

I own the shares, long Put and write weekly Covered calls on it in my IRA account. I do the same on RGTI, USAR, SOXL. My shares get called frequently, but I buy again and write CC for huge premiums. So far so good

too-far-for-missiles

I was a bit to early on Friday by about 1 hour, but I'm liking what happened to my big SOXL purchase. Now just have to decide when to trim it.

Im holding SOXL and im hoping LRCX can get off its lazy ass and start pulling its weight like AMD.

Do SOXS and SOXL move in exact conjunction? Like, could I buy both as effectively a strangle that wouldn't lose too much inherent value in the case of theta?

DonDiabloTheGreat

I wanted to get some SOXL

DiscussionCivil5747

SOXL calls monday?

PolecatXOXO

Not all of us. I saw SOXL go parabolic earlier this week, cashed out my chips, and put 20% profits back into the most leveraged tech short I could manage. Friday was a good day. Bubble wants to pop, it just didn't have a catalyst. I was planning for the next earnings season wave when the reality of being over-extended on AI projects sets in - but it looks like Trump and China are the ticket. When we're done dumping, get ready to go long again.

cinJESUS

SOXL or SMH calls on Monday? 👀

Boys4Ever

3x LETFs how I'm playing them. Buy them at the bottom and profit on TACO without need for leverage which could cause a margin call. TQQQ and SOXL my focus vs bothering with individual stocks such as NVDA or AVGO or AMD or their 2x derivatives. Much easier following a sector then stocks. All traded on cash which means I can exit quickly and just simply buy back in acquiring more shares with same capital waiting on the reversal. Outside of an actual collapse, this gains quick profits without holding an investment exposed to massive drawdowns should market collapse yet at bottom (and there will eventually be a bottom) I just buy more shares and wait on recovery. Meanwhile I switch to SQQQ or SOXS or better yet UVXY and short the sector or SP500. I stay flexible without ever exposing my portfolio to Black Monday like swan events. How I recovered during COVID and Inflation Shock recently.

Prestigious_Tank9230

SOXL was down 27% AH so I threw 1/3 of my total lump amount into it. Every time it drops 25% I’ll throw in another 1/3. But I think it bounces next week, because he hasn’t canceled his Xi meeting

scm66

That red SOXL candle. Damn.

movdqa

I saw the news on China and the rare earths Thursday night and decided to exit most of my positions in the morning. To my surprise, the markets were up by quite a bit and I sold everything but AAPL, PPLT and GLD. We went out sightseeing and I got back to the hotel. I would have been down six figures if I had held my positions. So I got lucky. Or maybe not. I have a friend that always says: the market owes us nothing. I'll decide on what to do on Monday morning after conferring with a few other friends who got stopped out on Friday and several daytraders. One of the guys that called the top on Friday morning shorted SOXL and a few other triple-leveraged longs and made out like a bandit.

Wowmuchrya

Buying SOXL above 20 is suicide. Just because it hit 40 and is still above 30 doesn't mean anything. Look at what happened last time, from mid 30s to 8.

Doom2021

SOXL. Taco is going to taco.

JimmyMcTrade

I sold SOXL at 39 and 42. I was hoping for it to go back to 20 to rebuy. What I forgot is that if soxl goes down, it's cos everything goes down! And 🥭 may be giving us an opportunity here. It could be another buy chance or the chance of a lifetime to get rekt beyond belief.

dimethylhyperspace

Part of me wants to sell SOXL while it's up in AH..today was a total liquidation and they don't usually come alone. The other part of me wants to hold in case I can recoup some of the losses,I took today on Monday

dimethylhyperspace

Damn, imagine panic selling SOXL in AH at a 6% loss, now it's up 2% lol

Looking for SOXL to hit next week. The tariff backlash is always massive drop-off, higher rebound. Timing is all I'm worried about. SOXL 10/17 40C

somewonimet

Did you get out? And hopefully are sitting in that boat with your monies? Because SOXL was a no-lube truckstop f\*ck today.

DesignerSea494

Fuck it, I’m trimming a little TLT and GLD for SOXL. Just a little. Just the tip.

tokibnuy

For the potential crash that may happen. If it does I plan to just all in on SOXL

Anxious_Comparison77

Volatility swing trading, it's different than options, if you are wrong you just hold. Because long term you are still tied to the market growth over-time, so today's $SOXL dip for example was 12% and $SPXL is 6%. It's a form of accumulation and distribution but with 3x the volatility than buying normal stocks so you get bigger swings. All math. You don't time the market, you buy and sell based on move counter-trending it, Today was a nice move which triggers the buy. If it tanks another 15% next week I buy again.

Master_Bief

What are the chances that there's an end of day pump and SOXL hits 40? Asking for a friend.

Rabbid_Goose

Same sentiment but it was bound to happen again. I sold all my SOXL two days ago. Great day to buy it back 🤑

silverfutes

lol, SOXL -15%... definitely NOT an overreaction to a tweet with no details.

Everything i buy SOXL i get fucked

My SOXL diagonal spread getting saved rn. Short leg still deep itm so keep droppin.

great, just as i sold my SOXL puts literally 5 minutes before…

smitra00

TQQQ shorts are for the longer term TQQQ decays relative to the NASDAQ so that's ideal for trading the correction that will eventually come. SQQQ doesn't decay all that much, but I short SQQQ instead of opening longs for NASDAQ because shorting is free of charge at my broker while going long directly incurs daily fees. SOXS and SOXL decay very fast, and I want to be short the semis in case the market would go up and that's automatically implemented by shorting both SOXS and SOXL. We'll likely get a rotation to the financial sector, shorting FAZ has the advantage that FAZ decays over time. I'm long TMF instead of short TBT because TBT incurs massive dividend fees and doesn't decay all that fast. It's worse than SQQQ in which case the slow decay is still similar to the quarterly dividend fee.

smitra00

Short NASDAQ by shorting TQQQ and shorting SQQQ as a hedge. Long VXX and also short VXX as a hedge. Long XLF by shorting FAZ Long TLT by being long TMF Neutral semis by being short SOXS and also short SOXL at the same exposures.

Ok-Exercise-6336

I do it everytime when somebody mentions a stock here. But I dont blindly buy or sell, I go for it only when it makes sense to my analysis looking at the value or employees count, etc. But I have almost lost about 50% of my port due to greedy options initially and I didnt know how options works earlier. But this sub helped me to recover and make profit. Especially stocks like OPEN, PLTR, QSI, etc. There are also some symbols which I wouldn't have known if this sub didnt exists such as SOXS, SOXL, UVXY etc.

I realized a 4400 loss on SOXS today and have a 5600 SOXL gain. It’s dumped about 1k from the high today since 8pm so I’m iffy about what it’s gonna do tomorrow

ZookeepergameLoose96

what is the price target of SOXL ?

somewonimet

You missed a fun 48 hours in SOXL-land. I'm dizzy, certainly not fit to be on a boat, but also glad to be hear (but also sorry if I throw up).

somewonimet

I bought (and have been rolling over) SOXL calls (mostly LEAPS) since it was around 12'ish. July1-Sept1 was not helpful at all but, even with losing 50% over that period, I'm up \~500% now. I'm shifting out my 11/21 30 SOXL calls to POET and I don't entirely know why. Uninformed decisions usually work great, right?

catchyphrase

I got 19K shares of SOXL that are betting on big on chips.

MikeHoncho1323

Getting in on the floor of both SOXL waves is fucking huge dude.

tnguyen5057

SOXL has gone up 400% since April lows. God I love this stock

ninjaschoolprofessor

Yesterday it was TSM, today it’s AMD, tomorrow AVGO, then MU, and the cycle repeats. Just buy SMH or SOXL if you can withstand the volatility and profit from all of these semiconductor related companies.

ShootFishBarrel

Instead of going 100% LEAPS and trying to replicate stock ownership (which can get wrecked in a bear market), I use LEAPS for what they’re really great at: asymmetric upside with capped downside. The goal is to risk a small portion of your capital across multiple long-dated, high-volatility bets where just one or two home runs can move the needle on your entire portfolio. Personally, I recommend: • Around 70% in boring stuff (cash equivalents, broad ETFs, low-risk yield) • Around 5 to 10% (DCA!) allocated to LEAPS on 3× ETFs like TQQQ or SOXL • The rest for short puts, occasional spreads, or other directional trades The trick isn’t to go all-in. The trick is to use small amounts of aggressive leverage that simulate stock ownership but limit potential downside while expanding your upside. You want to find the sweet spot where you’re not being too cautious or too greedy. There is a minimum investment size where this starts to make sense. Ideally, you should be laddering into and out of LEAPS over time and planning for some of your positions to expire worthless. That’s fine, because the math still works in your favor if just one or two pop off. Key guidelines I follow: • Buy LEAPS just slightly out of the money to reduce theta decay and keep some convexity • Use expiration dates 24 to 36 months out if available. These ultra-long LEAPS (800+ days) are often a better value per dollar because they decay more slowly and give you more time to be right • Diversify across different strikes and entry dates. Dollar-cost averaging into LEAPS can be just as important as it is with stocks, especially when you’re using aggressive leverage But if QQQ trends up smoothly over two or three years, TQQQ could 4× or even 8×. That same call might be worth 5 to 10× or more. You don’t need a high batting average. You just need to hit hard when it counts. This strategy demands discipline. You need a strong cash cushion not just to weather drawdowns, but to reload confidently after losing positions. DCA and patience matter. Chasing after the next spike with your whole stack doesn’t. Rather than ditching stocks to go “full LEAPS,” think of LEAPS as leverage with a seatbelt. They are not safe, but they define your risk upfront and let you take shots that can truly move the needle. If you size them like moonshots, not like replacements, they can be a powerful addition to your playbook.

I bought SOXL at the close - this market is unstoppable. Even the slightest pullback results in endless Fed dovishness.

Jack_Of_4ll

Today, I was going through the SOXL (Direxion Semiconductor Bull 3x ETF) option chain expiring **Jan 16, 2026** — about **102 days to expiry** — and noticed something weird. The current price is around **$41.80**, but the **call deltas** just *out of the money* (like the 42–43 strikes) are **above 0.50** — while the **puts** just OTM (like 40–41 strikes) are **below 0.40**. Normally, near-the-money options should have deltas around ±0.50, so this asymmetry really stood out. I’m trying to understand why that might be. Some ideas I had: * Maybe **implied volatility skew** or **smile asymmetry** (calls relatively bid up vs puts)? * Could it be something to do with **SOXL being a leveraged ETF (3x)** — maybe pricing in decay or drift? * Or is this just **bullish sentiment** driving up call prices and making them behave more “in-the-money”? Would love to hear from anyone who trades leveraged ETF options or has seen similar delta behavior — is this typical for SOXL or other 3x ETFs?

DryState8984

Not really SOXL was at 30 in January . In April it lost more 30% so you would panick and sold and got a margin call on ur house and end up at Wendy's

fasty1

Goddamn it I had 100k sitting on the sideline back in January. If i had bought some SOXL back then I would have been able to pay off my mortgage now.
