last time i bought SPY peaked 3 months later then fell in response to tarrifs. surely not a second time... anyways vanguard is letting me buy SPY again tomorrow. good luck everyone else
I agree with you. Expectations are monsterous this quarter. Samsung crashed after officially becoming the most profitable business in the world, surpassing NVDA (1800% YoY). SPY 750 will have to choose a direction and I do not think forward guidance and EPS beats will be enough.
People do be analyzing .03% SPY moves at 2:45am like they are trying to solve the Stargate portal
#Looks like tomorrow will be another one of those days where SPY will dip 0.01% while most stocks dump 3-4% LMAO🤌

KOSPI and SPY going up right now
XSP credit spreads. .1-.2 delta 0DTE’s or .3 delta. You just need to see what direction the movement is going. Especially in the morning. For that I’ve watch SPY for the first hour after market opens.
It's funny how I struggle sp much with trading when all I need to do is figure out which direction SPY is moving.
Kospi dumping but SPY green. SaaS is back boys
ES 7420 / SPY 735-ish this week, you heard it here first. Pure vibes.
SPY is flat but I'm afraid semiconductor and space fomo gang is in trouble
SPY will bottom Soon with 680 being the absolute floor so I’d say 10% max drop before SNDK bounces. It’s insane you even said 50%.
SPY peaked 1/12/26 then traded sideways and down to 3/30/26. Then went up 3/30 peaking at 6/02, & has been trading sideways & down since 6/02. That’s more days trading sideways & down then up. Gold marks 1/12 then 3/30 Green marks 6/02 Just because it’s up doesn’t percentage wise doesn’t mean shit. https://preview.redd.it/hphmpi79saeh1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=005cd113b5c887ab88907b2e5397c0dc77e06e73

850 SPY by December 31st
SPY +8.80% YTD It ain’t sexy, but it ain’t “down or sideways”, either.
So glad we’re at war. SPY would be 800+ if we weren’t, but then we’d be getting nuked daily by Iran still. Remember how bad that was?

Yep..... that's like +1% in SPY
Unless the state of the war changes we are too close to falling off of a cliff for any company to turn sentiment. If the straight isn't opened soon the combination of the fertilizer shortage caused by the war along with the super el nino will assuridly result in widespread famine in the southeast. Even more concerning is that if the price of oil continues to go up and reaches the point where Turkey has to finish selling off their gold reserves just to keep the lights on they will eventually become insolvent and kick off a cascade of collapsing economies until it possibly takes the whole global economic system with it. And none of that even takes the fact that we are a stones throw from the US private credit system collapsing into effect. Any one of those three could easily smash the AI bubble so hard that a few months from now y'all will be stoked if SPY's approaching 450.
MU 1000 EOD!!!!

Thanks for the $5,000 Mr. SPY CEO, I'm not selling! Not financial advice. Sticky. Hiked.
SPY has gone 23 years without going up in real terms before. If you believe that the indexes just go up you should just do leverage ETFs and go to bed.
Pray that agent orange is healthy, or you will end up with him running the show. SPY to 175 day one.
How do you lose money on 0 DTE’s? Are you buying them? Just sell them on stocks you own. Easy money. I made $15K selling SPY 0 DTE in January.

Dont keep your hopes up fellas , tomorrow will be roller coaster between 744 and 741 for SPY

\+10% KOSPI, +2.8% Qqq +2.1% SPY
There’s very few bears ever in the thread and some you be saying “LOL BERS THOT” when SPY goes +0.01% for 2 minutes, what is this obsession lol
My model (73% accuracy) says that SPY will hit at least 1% above its Monday open this week. Take that for what it’s worth!
Bear: "Points at SPY" You're NEXT! 😡
So this is what SPY looks like behind the scenes. Rigged af
I am trading mainly BWB on SPX circa 90DTE at open, combined with a Vertical (there is a strategy called the SPX Best trade) and also 3 Calendars also this long on SPY (SPY Ride trade). I feel I have now a better risk control, even when the market moves against. There is a high flexibility on adjustments which are not so frequent. I feel calmer with this type of options trading.
A pull back on SPY to 680 with strong support and a major bounce would be the most bullish. That 680 is confluence with the Fib 61.8. It would be continued blue skies.
This was mostly my idea post 2022. If you think the makret is frothy, stay the course in QQQ or SPY because the opportunity cost of being wrong is too high. But if the market does crash then SPY will likely only be down 30% or so meanwhile many tech stocks will be down 50-70, so you can sell spy at a loss to rotate into the beaten down yet good companies. I suppose you could do something similar with TQQQ
Does SPY to 8,000 this year or that in someone's ass happen first?
Argentina win = SPY 800 this week
Nah what, shorting QQQ is insanely profitable if you time it right Shit can easily drop 2% while SPY won’t break 1%
holy shit pre pre futes show SPY +5% MU $1800
US service members and military personnel were killed on this last Iran attack, and 🥭 still won't make any meaningful attack back because he and his buddies are short Oil, and you think the market will tank on these news? Monday we pump, SPY 800 EOW
For the SPX Best trade, I am doing a BWB below SPX price and a Vertical above. For the SPY Ride, it is a combination of 3 Calendar spreads positioned at a certain Delta.
I think it’s totally possible we pump tomorrow. In fact I would not be surprised at all if it happened. I think SPY crawls back towards $750 and goes to $765/770 and then dumps to 700/690. Idc what it does tomorrow or the next day.
6k on SPY 0DTE CALLS MONDAY
My best guess for next week is that SPY will start to dump as well. But semis and memory itself will just trade sideways (albeit with a lot of chop). Calls only when max fear is reached
Why SPX as opposed to SPY?
I sold SPY 7/31 $740 puts for a loss last week 🤡
If if doesn't go down more than 4% or up 2% by open. I am all good (SPY)
War intensifies We going back to sub SPY 700 or does no one care
We may be cooked on Monday, but SPY probably green.
All the good trades come from huge government decisions that change markets forever. For example, Obamacare was the biggest scam in history. If it wasnt obvious to you that we got sold out and that insurance companies were about to make tons of guaranteed money, you were a moron. Over the next decade, it crushed the returns of the S&P500. UNH left SPY in the dust. Easiest trade in the world. Always think about how new laws/decisions will affect markets.
Trade 0DTE SPY calls while drunk ❤
Why is everyone so 🌈🐻 on Monday's SPY?
Rooting for you OP. Working on something similar with SPY 0DTE. +156% last week on a small account. No coin flipping though thats wild..
SPY and CVX calls tomorrow
Market didn’t take 15 years to recover. Broader market like SPY took 7 years. Dividends reinvested 4 years. And could/should/maybe isn’t worth discussing.
Everybody wants SPY 800 but I just want pictures of Spiderman.
Indeed. I passed by this! I do not want to remember it. Now, I am focused on longer dated options trading (income based) where you do not need to be glued at the computer all day. I am trading the SPX BEst and SPY Ride trades that are delivering good results. Yes, it is boring! No adrenaline. But, I prefer "boring trading" than fast adrenaline losers
I went short SPY in Friday. I'm not sure how long I'll hold that, might end up with a stop loss on Monday.
With everything going on in the world SPY puts seem like the obvious play. Sorry bulls, but it's over for a bit.
I wouldn't start back up again ever. Just buy SPY the rest of your life and focus on your family. Don't feel like you need to get it back. You only have one and being happy is more important than money.
It’s nice to see someone playing with amounts similar to me. All I’m doing lately is 0dte SPY plays. I’m still learning and I have 1200$ in my account. I only put 300 in so I’m happy with the month of small grind. I have a rule that if my position hits -15% I get out. No matter what. And on the flip side, I get out at +30% profit
SPY opens at 745 and confounds bers once again LMAO
Please SPY gimme a solid -6% on Monday baby
When inflation is 3.5% and SPY is up 18% YoY, being poor is a skill issue
people here dont remember days SPY would move .1% on most days
Weekly chart suggests we're going lower, as in SPY 675.
See what happens with the Kospi first. If the whole markets down then puts on indexes like SPY or QQQ or their related levered ETF’s would have cheaper premiums relative to SNDK. Of course if we go green the same holds true.
Aha, yes, I sure hope all my SPY CCs never exercise which would mean my 401(k) is up 5x as much as I lost on potential profit. Haha noooo anything but that.
Aren't you worried about gamma risk with selling weeklies? A study on tastytrade and the main statistic they shared is that if you hit a 2x or 3x loss (somewhere in that range) within the week of expiration then the chances of recovery are less than 20%. They were using short strangles on SPY as their test case. Mind you they originally sold 45 DTE and didn't manage the positions I suppose if you're starting the trade less than 5 DTE and you found elevated IV and so forth it's a whole different game than starting far out and allowing losses to hit 2x or more But still I've sold weeklies and gamma ramped up so much that I hit 2x loss within the day. What's your plan when that happens?
So SPY dumped to 630s when Iran war and pricing in worst case scenario. Now we are living the worst case scenario, if not worse, and we are ATHs?
***DJT ADRESSING THE NATION AGAIN AS IRAN WAR ENTERS ITS 8TH NIGHT OF RENEWED OPERATIONS:*** "MY FRIENDS... THEY SAY I DON'T WANT WAR." My friends... People have said—many people, the smartest people—that I don't like war. Wrong. I like war. No... I LOVE WAR! I love shock and awe. I love bunker busters. I love aircraft carriers parked somewhere "strictly as a deterrent.". I love hearing the words "limited military operation" on Monday and "regime change was never the goal" by Friday. Carrier groups in the Gulf. B-2 bombers in the night. Tomahawks flying so fast CNN can't even animate them correctly. I LOVE THEM ALL. My heart skips a beat whenever the Pentagon says, "We have achieved our objectives.". Especially when five minutes later someone leaks "...there are actually more objectives.". I love watching defense contractors discover record quarterly earnings. I love seeing Raytheon stock print a green candle so large it has its own ZIP code. I love when oil traders collectively forget what the word "supply" means. There is nothing—NOTHING—more beautiful than opening futures at 6 PM on Sunday and seeing the S&P down 2% while Lockheed Martin is somehow +8%. MAGNIFICENT. My friends... I don't merely enjoy military escalation. I cherish it. I nurture it. I refresh X every thirty seconds waiting for anonymous OSINT accounts to post blurry satellite images with seventeen red circles and the words: "BIG IF TRUE." YES. YES! MORE! I want DEFCON rumors. I want anonymous officials. I want contradictory Pentagon statements. Mandatory testosterone testing. I want oil at $120. VIX at 45. And SPY somehow still green. THAT... THAT IS THE AMERICAN WAY. Now... Bring me another "breaking news" banner. We're only getting started.
Still outperformed QQQ and SPY since 2000
Got 6000$ to gamble. Gamble on Spain winning or 0dte SPY CALLS?
SPY calls were definitely not the play
If you are using SPX you can accept between 4 to 8 eastern. They are also a 60/40 long/short tax hit so that’s a bonus as well. SPY you can keep selling until 4:15 est. This pertains to options.
its a shame the deep state (TM) didn't intervene to save SPY calls from 🥭's regarded truth social posts. puts on deep state. calls on regarded state.
I am genuinely tired of this cunt blowing up my calls. Either nuke the fk out of Iran or just accept that it's now the Strait of Iran. IDGAF about another ME shit hole, and having yet another war there, where we burn money and lives. FK all those clowns, including Israel. They want to clown around, then they can figure it out. I thought this fk was about America first? Because right now, this American is starting to get crazy pissed off. SPY should be at 9,000 and gas should be $1.50 to help all the mouth breathers that didn't buy an EV because of range anxiety (how many of these dumb fks actually drive over 300 miles a day and can't fathom plugging their car in when they go to bed?) Rage mode terminated.
Let me guess. Oil reserves continue to run towards empty, inflation skyrockets, they fake CPI and GDP data, and ceasefire announced that sends us to SPY 800.
Mad that your SPY always expire worthless?😂
The best strategy for **0DTE (Zero Day to Expiration) SPY options** depends on your risk tolerance, but the most popular approach for retail traders is **Intraday Directional Scalping**. Because of extreme gamma (price acceleration) and theta (time decay), holding a 0DTE contract for more than a few minutes requires precise timing. **1. Intraday Directional Scalping (Buying Outright)** This involves buying an at-the-money (ATM) or slightly out-of-the-money (OTM) call or put to capitalize on a sudden, intraday price move. **The Play:** Wait until the market opens and volatility settles (e.g., after 10:00 AM ET). Wait for SPY to test a key level (like the Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) or Previous Day's High) and scalp in the direction of the momentum. **The Target:** Aim for 20% to 50% returns. **Risk Management:** Do not hold to expiration. Cut losses strictly at **-50%** of the premium paid. **2. Credit Spreads (Selling Premium)** If you prefer playing the probabilities and benefiting from time decay, selling options is the preferred strategy. **Bull Put Spread:** Sell an OTM put and buy a further OTM put. You profit if SPY stays above your short strike. **Bear Call Spread:** Sell an OTM call and buy a further OTM call. You profit if SPY stays below your short strike. **Risk Management:** Because the risk-reward is inverted (you risk more to make less), never sell spreads unhedged. A standard rule is to close the position if the loss hits 2x the credit received, or if you reach 80% of your max profit early in the day. **3. Core 0DTE Rules to Live By** **Size Small:** Never risk more than 1% to 2% of your total trading account on a single 0DTE trade. **Avoid the Open:** The first 30 minutes of the market are highly volatile. Wait until 10:00 AM ET to ensure the trend is established before taking a position. **Beware of Event Days:** Avoid trading 0DTEs during major catalyst announcements (e.g., FOMC, CPI data) as rapid spikes can quickly wipe out your position. **Use Option Chains/Flow:** Monitor where large institutional block orders are executing to align yourself with the heavy volume

I gotta beat SPY by a wide margin after determining risk. If my risk over the year was a cumulative 100% of my portfolio and my mental bandwidth and time dedication required rivaled another job’s worth of hours and dedication I want it to pay me like it’s another job. If I’m in broad investing I wanna beat SPY by 2-10x over the year. Pay me big for picking my single stock names and regime rotation thesis’. If I’m doing broad investing with short term trading I want to win by 20-100x more over the same timeframe (usually weeks/months).
the IV crush got me more than anything, the move happened but it was this slow grinding thing so by the time it confirmed the vol had already bled out watching the position go sideways while SPY was clearly up was the confusing part, felt like the screen was broken next time i either go deeper ITM or skip 0DTE entirely when theres overnight uncertainty priced in, buying into that inflated IV is basically starting underwater
Transaction costs and taxes are the part nobody ever factors in on reddit and why so few really do any better than buying SPY and waiting
