Oh man why did I buy more SPY puts
If SPY is at an ATH and your portfolio isn't, youre the problem.
\> SPY about to hit another ATH in the premarket aren't the bers extinct already?
You need to take your time to build it. Maybe you will get lucky chasing something. But more than likely you’ll win some lose some and keep breaking even. The best thing you can do is to average into something like SPY over 10-20 years. Yes I know it’s boring af. Put 90% of your money into index funds and the other 10% form gambling. I’m 40 and started with nothing. I didn’t even start investing really until my early 30s. I’m a millionaire now. And most of it really is just time in market. And during big sell offs I buy a lot more than I normally would. That said in terms of spec plays. I like these through mid October OKLO IONQ PATH I started building positions in these in May. All of them doubled last summer from about August to mid October. Good luck.
Bet the rest on on SPY 770 puts 0dte and keep doing that until you're a millionaire. You'll either retire in a week or go out in style.
If we see this kind of shit with SPY closing all time high, I can’t imagine what a real downturn would do to this sub.

Im actually highly profitable at SPY 0dte and 1dte, yet I keep losing money buying options in stocks. TMC better rip 6%+today, otherwise there goes a wasted 1k
unfortunately vix options are somewhat complicated. I looked into it, I made some money but they are too risky for me to "speculate" on, I didn't trade them anymore in like 6months. tldr: european style, based on the future contract and not spot vix, which are completely different, and short-term options are incredibly volatile. And the expiration (I let one expire just to see how it settles) is even more complicated than regular SPY/SPX AM options (just sell before close lol unless you want to take another gamble). Plus the consistent way of getting money recently has been puts since VIX is low, but puts have a similar issue with calls on equities, their IV goes down when vix goes down, while the opposite is true for VIX calls. so I usually buy vix calls when I want to "protect" myself from taco madness, but you need to pick a close expiration or they won't pay even if you are right. Which at that point you risk too much of them going to 0 because theta is high.
Kinda fucking wild that SPY approaching 800

Why 🌽 dumpy SPY is lookin dumpy too
Literally went up on being included in SPY
Biggest crashes happen in September. Hopefully when I sell everything after this rally SPY crashes 50% so I can buy back in
SPY has been 25% below the 30 day average volume for the last two trading days while also reaching ATH. 🤷♀️
we didnt even close for a 1% day on SPY yesterday. today we go for it again
Try to take a look at today's itm option's prices, strike price today's SPY price minus 1,3% so 767. You could have bought that 1st August for 1,12$ and today BMO is priced at 11$..an honest 1000%. And couple days earlier it was 0,30$. Options are priced by algorithms and they don't have a crystal ball like any of us. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, I just want to grant me a good lottery ticket spending what I feel right.
If SPY appreciates 3% on a single day, you'll be close close to your target (still not there though). If it appreciates 3% in a week (which is still a huge move), you're not going to make it. You're basically claiming that the options market is inefficiently priced. Rarely, it is. Not 25% of the time. https://preview.redd.it/z7xv9wo9hajh1.jpeg?width=3840&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e519127b3dec0e3b211650b5b82a835ae8cd569e
SPY is opening at $780
So if a trade goes south you would hold 100x SPY shares at a loss? Has that ever happened?
>However, can you beat buy and hold after fees and taxes? This. I would wager most can't, but then it also depends on what the goal is. Options selling, IMO, is not a "growth" activity but an income one, so comparing your returns to an index like SPY is not really correct. The focus should be more on cash-on-cash returns and how much actual money you are making.
can anyone tell me what is the Return on capital deployed for SPY 0DTE iron condor
screw the market I'm investing in trading cards at this point Pokemon cards apparently outperformed SPY in the last few years
Me everyday with SPY
So, I don’t think the idea is necessarily crazy if you genuinely treat the $25/week as lottery ticket money, but I think you could be underestimating what has to go right. Take for example — a 3% SPY move over two weeks can be fairly large, but a deep OTM option still needs the right direction, enough magnitude, and usually enough speed to overcome the low delta/time decay. So, I’d backtest the exact DTE, delta/strikes and exit rules rather than just how often SPY moves X% or whatever. Also account for the bid/ask on those cheap contracts. One other thing to note — if you buy at $0.25 and sell at 4x the price ($1.00), that’s a 300% profit, not 400%. With every loser going to -100%, you’d need a little over a 25% win rate just to break even before trading costs. That’s one of the numbers I’d really want the backtest to prove
Need SPY to open $771....👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
0dte SPY puts easy money

Still way above SPY on a 5 year chart
Full port 0DTE SPY calls. Every. Single. Day. Never down. Only up. Gey bers get fucked.
SPY 260814P77400 or lower for a lottery. SPY hasn't budged from $773 and feels that or lower is its norm
Cisco and ONDS calls 1 week out atm. They've both bottomed out. Maybe NBIS puts. Or alternatively very strong change of a red $spy day. If you wanna gamble, tomorrow is the day to 0DTE $SPY
from x: "Price action on $RDDT could get wild the next 2 days… 13.6% short interest and according to a friend the $SPY index funds only have 2 days to do their buying and $RDDT doesn’t feel like the kind of stock where shareholders will be selling into this pop because we know there’s a lot more catalysts on the horizon and the stock is way too cheap at current prices given growth rates and margin profile. LFG!!!"
how do we feel about SPY 7DTE Iron condor 766p/769p/785c/788c tomorrow
SPY dumping feels like my Shopify store during Black Friday with a churn rate of 99% and ROAS in the toilet, bro.
Predicting SPY 773 tomorrow
Nice. What would be the benefit of this trade versus SPY over 3 y: 20.5% CAGR, 18.8% Max DD. I have a few reasons why this is good, and wanted to understand your logic to see if I'm missing anything.
If SPY doesn’t go to 790 tomorrow I will be U P S E T
If SPY drops -3% tomorrow, I will donate $5000 to a good cause for orphan kids.
I'll probably just put my money in SPY to avoid a situation like that. Like, 2x inverse ETFs on these AI stocks could easily take me from my remaining 30K down to 3.4K like you.

SPY +3% tomorrow? Dunno bro that seems like a big stretch without a strong catalyst
I stay alive so I can someday see the Vegeta SPY over 9000 memes :copium: :copium:
I don't think it makes a lot of sense to buy different index funds because they are... index funds... If you have time I actually encourage you to explore different investing strategies (make sure to not blow up though). If not then probably the most important thing is to make sure you're buying a fund with low costs like SPYM instead SPY and make sure you're its in your retirement account for tax purposes (assuming it works like that in Europe as well). Still encourage safe exploration if you have time though.
“Vegeta what’s SPY’s power level?” Vegeta: “ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!”
Well I can make my money back, I'll just short again when these things get to crazy prices again i.e TSLA over 400, SNDK over 2000, SPCX over 180, etc. I just have to wait until then and I'll re-buy my shorts. Until then I guess I'll just house my $ in SPY. (Watch the market tank now...)
imagine telling wsb we'd close there back in the SPY 260 days
So according to my mouth, it’ll make up about 0.06% of SPY/VOO. Or $60 (about half a share) of a 100k SP500 portfolio.
Open a Roth. Put $200 a month in it for 10 years into SPY. At historical 9% return that would be around 40k of tax free money for emergencies or special occasions.
Please tell me SPY will go down tomorrow
I bought some puts on SPY at 777. Will devil will recompense me for it?
There are a lot of big 100b+ companies that are down quite a bit this year (NFLX, ACN, CRM, NKE, ADBE, UBER, to name a few) and I think what you're seeing is a lot of people are seeing $SPY at ATHs (because of big tech) and thinking: "well when my CRM stock comes back $SPY is going to go have to go even higher"... They aren't really thinking about the idea that CRM is actually going to lose value in the long-run, they're just thinking "what goes down must come up". It's basically just a common misunderstanding of market dynamics. They think something like ACN which has historically been one of the largest companies, is surely going to recover and they ignore the fact that the world is actually changing and knowledge-based consulting is now a lower value because answers that executives historically would hire Accenture to solve can now sometimes be solved by ChatGPT. They don't need a team of 5 management consultants to come up with a "go-to-market" strategy when now an intern with ChatGPT can develop that strategy in a week.... same idea applies to a lot of these historically huge companies.
The momentum is insane now. Beat down AI hardware stocks are back. Probably not another 4 months at least and by then SPY gonna be up 10%.
SPY is on a rocket ship to 810 by end of year because everyone deems it so. But I know people are gonna freak out come January
#I predicted Reddit would be added to SPY index LMAO🤌
I finally reached my limit, I've seen my money go down every single day the past couple weeks. I sold my shorts and put it into SPY. I will play along with the braindead market pump until I get incredible prices to short at again.
Just do the math. It depends on the price of SPY. At one point it dropped to 630 a share soon that case it cost $630,000 to buy 1000 shares. Right now it would cost closer to $800K. I got out before the inflation reports the past two days so I don’t own any currently.
Try 788. https://optioncharts.io/option/SPY/contract/SPY260814C00788000 125,000 of those bad boys were opened earlier today. Oozing positive gamma tomorrow. The meltiest of melt-ups.
A lot. My strategy works best with 1000 shares of SPY so I typically aim for about Delta of .20 ($0.30-$0.60 per share). But anyone could do similar strategy with less shares. Obviously the number of contracts you could sell will depend on number of shares owned but the percentage gains and number of winning trades would still be the same.
made about 3k in the past week or so on dumb small cap plays. maybe gonna buy 200 contacts of SPY8/21 800C. Everyone else is getting rich in this market. Figure either i'll give it all back like the dumbass I am, or for once ill hit.
I am like you and trade Options/Futures, mainly Big Tech Options, SPY, QQQ or /ES and /NQ. I have tried or at least researched most of those. I have tried SpotGamma, Unusual Whales, QuantData, MenthorQ, Tradytics, Tanuki and HedgePulse and a few others. Originally SpotGamma was the best years ago for sure. They were the first I ever saw, and that is how I learned about GEX. Some others are close and maybe even better in some ways now, but cheaper for what they offer. HIRO from SpotGamma is nice, but I just don't want to pay that much. I use HedgePulse now because I like seeing SPY and QQQ side by side, and the market breadth info is nice. I just use the new app and the NinjaTrader indicator they have. QuantData is also decent and around the same price, but it doesn't do the same things exactly and the layout isn't my favorite. I think QuantData, MenthorQ, and SpotGamma are probably the closest, but more expensive for what I want to use or don't offer what I need. MenthorQ uses the futures options levels, so it is similar to HedgePulse, but they use the ETFs, which are more liquid and they convert that to the futures price which I like better.
So this is why them dirty market makers dumped RDDT after they smashed earnings, so they can load up for the SPY news. Cheeky bastards
Sold all my SNDQ. Going to do majority SPY and some SPCG until some of these tickers continue their braindead pump to levels I can once again short.

It depends on how he's trading and what underlyings he's trading. If he has enough in his account to cover an assignment, or if he's trading spreads, then it's not a huge deal. Most real brokers have minimum maintenance requirements before they will allow you to trade something way outside of your league. For example, if you have $5,000 in an account, and you want to trade naked SPY puts, you're going to need way more than $5k in order for the brokerage to even allow you to make the trade. Also, only Naked calls carry any real unlimited loss risk since technically, stocks can go up an infinite amount. But they rarely ever do.
How does SPY even go up when all its inclusions and exclusions get frontrun by 20%
#SPY is up 21% year over year and 15% year to date. It could go up another 10% for the remainder of the year easily. LMAO🤌
Damn all he had to do was buy SPY LEAPS and he'd be able to chill with no job for a while.
Imagine if you just bought and held SPY 10 months ago and you would’ve been up 20%
The bullish scenario tomorrow is SPY -4% The bearish scenario is SPY -15%
Now every time I buy SPY, I will be investing in a barely functioning message board that crashes every time there is elevated traffic 🥲
Added to my SPY Puts into the close 9/30 exp 700 strike price
Bought weekly SPY puts at close. Dumb considering the pump were having but....
I sell covered calls. Made $185K since Jan 2025. Mostly SPY and MSTR very short term. I have NEVER bought a single Call or Put. That seems like gambling to me. When I sell a call I get paid immediately. And I never set a strike price below my cost basis so I cannot lose a dime unless I sell the shares for less than I paid for them. Which I have yet to do, so I have yet to have a single losing trade. I don’t get care if shares get assigned or if I miss a bunch of upside. Probably made around $20K off MSFT when it bounced between 350-390 , missed out on over $50K upside as I made sure shares got assigned before earnings. Didn’t want to risk getting stuck holding 500 shares if earnings call had been bad. Oh well. I keep it boring and try to make small wins ($300-$600) each day I’m trading and not swing for the fences or hold shares during volatile times. I did not trade for a month after the Iran war started. Didn’t hold shares going into Fed meeting. Didn’t hold shares before this weeks Inflation reports.
I’m down bigly so I’m gonna yolo SPY 0DTEs and hope it saves me
