It’s just 3% away. SPY went up nearly 1% two days ago. How is it unbelievable?
That’s great but literally can buy SPY calls and be up 23% in one play easily
Just hoping the culling is rapid. A quick capitulation to SPY 420 and then a small bull trap to 469 and then back down to like 297. Then it stays there for a few years.
there are people who think SPY is going to 800 first off that's unbelievably stupid second it cant just keep going up "nooo muh 40 year average!!" dont care, long-term bearish
10 dollars gap up on SPY Monday
Holy fuck…74k is something I’ve never even seen in my bank account before. I was always jealous of people making banks off of 0dte and SPY calls and shit. Also seeing young kids having so much money made me so depressed. Hang in there bud, just know that now you’re in our tax bracket which isn’t too bad brother ahaha
This is just completely ignoring that the American stock markets, and retail investors, particularly on robinhood, have had the best wealth creation in the history of the world with SPY compounding +7% for a 100 years and QQQ looking like it’s on +25% CAGR and has 25x’d in the last 20 years (yes you read that right). These are the most common investments for retail traders… If you listen to these simpletons (“ai bubble” “retail trader exploitation”) instead of actively investing every additional savings into QQQ & SPY, don’t cry in the casino while you get left behind in the most prosperous and opportune place in history. Also just so you know you’re totally spewing misinformation fam…. Retail investors in the US have OUTPERFORMED instructional investors over the last few years.

Being a normal investor and buying $SPY
Ken385's futures point is the right practical answer, but a couple of mechanics for the actual synthetic question, since it is a cash account. A synthetic long is a long call and a short put at the same strike and expiry. The capital requirement lives on the short put leg, and in a cash account that put has to be cash secured, which means you are tying up basically the full notional anyway. So the synthetic does not give a small cash account more share control, it gives you the same capital outlay with extra path complexity. The leverage only shows up in a margin account, and then you are back to a margin requirement not far from what Ken described on the futures. Where XSP genuinely wins over SPY for you is not liquidity, it is tax and settlement. XSP is a 1256 contract, so it gets 60/40 treatment and marks to market, and it is European and cash settled so there is no early assignment and no stray 100 share position to unwind. SPY is taxed as plain equity and can assign early. For a hold to expiry synthetic the thinner XSP book matters far less than it would for an active trader, so XSP is the cleaner build for a small account even before you get to the futures option. One caution though, a synthetic held against offsetting stock can trip the straddle and constructive sale rules, so keep it clean if you go that route.
I thought I had closed out my 777 SPY calls for Tuesday but the order never executed. Can anyone help me figure out where we have to open Monday in order for me to not be destroyed.
How yall feeling about SPY dropping below 750 on Monday?
YOLO on SPY 0dte options
I will continue to add to SPY 700 9/30 Puts

Yes, and this is why SPY will +3% next week. Failing up.

SPY 777 calls Monday. It's gonna hit 782 finna be gucci af
What the hell What made you this convinced SPY would go down today?? Also when you’re inevitably back can you dm me your trade thx
Oh I thought something like the SPY500 shot up and I checked Schwab and it was just normal behavior
If you makes you feel better I sold weekly SPY calls 30 mins after open on that legendary +2% back to back run up for $900 profit when it closed on the second day at almost 200X that
If you put it in SPY it’ll be worth $1M in 40 years based on historical CAGR. Remember you will very likely underperform SPY if you try to pick stocks on your own. Your biggest advantage is time so just keep throwing $100 in there whenever you can and you’re almost guaranteed to be a millionaire if you just buy SPY.
Nonsense. It has the least amount of insider info, manipulation and is thus more predictable. I've been doing this for years man. I've got a book on SPY/SPX options trading.

SPY, wait 1,000 years, no risk
Going straight to indexes to learn is an awful place to start. Anyone trying to jump in and learn options with QQQ/SPY are probably getting smoked right now. I lost about 5k in college to earn over 200k over the last few years. I think it was worth it.
#What a boring ass day it was. SPY moved 0.03% between open and close LMAO🤌
Thought so, SPY being american style, XSP is nice being 1/10th of SPX, but XSP liquidity doesn't seem as good as SPX.
Summer slump? SPY is up 14% ytd and 3% of that came this month.

SPY/SPX weekly puts for next week. Oil creeping higher, and my hot Double D Asian fortune teller that charge $200/hour told me so. If you want her info, I charge 20% commission 📈
We are three dollars from all time high on SPY...

SPY didnt get that memo........
Should I buy Monday 0DTE SPY calls to hold over the weekend for the 🥭?
lmao SPY could go to 0 and SNDK would still fly $SNDK
Bought QQQ $740 puts expiring on 8/21. SPY $781 puts expiring on 8/18
You need to put it into the S&P 500 ETF like SPY or VOO until you know what you are doing.
It is because you could have learned by trading single SPY cons instead of the bulk of your actual capital lol Stop trying to cope.
SPY is down -.20%. It's all over.
So a friend tells me, SPY will not cross 780 this year and I'm looking at him. Dude, its at 779 and change and we have another 4 and a half months to go. I've been watching this thing ever since. Soon to happen I think.
#SPY literally hasn't moved 0.01% in the last 4 hours. It's literally pinned. So is every stock. LMAO🤌
just got the largest volume of day and SPY barely moved
I used to trade a lot of SPY, now I trade SPX. So, the way it works in a cash account is you still need to support that obligation, so synthetic stock isn’t really a workaround for needing capital. SPY adds assignment/share risk on top of that. With SPY, assignment can leave you long/short 100 shares, while with SPX/XSP you avoid that because they’re cash settled. In any case, XSP would make more sense than SPX for most smaller accounts
SPY 750p will hit big on Monday. Congrats
Got SPY 750p and HTZ 10c for Monday 😘 Don’t @ me when I’m rich(er)
You are cutting your SPY options way too late, they should be less than 15 mins and cut them immediately if they go against you.
QQQ and SPY both flat today. Close to testing the June/annual highs. Reversal inbound or preparing to rip again?
SPY goes down or I am finacially ruined
The best part is OP's chart literally inversed SPY. We're at ATH and he's at ATL.
for sure, OP is handing away like 100k+ in extra taxes with SPY instead of SPX contracts
Just bought SPY puts - youre welcome bulls
If you're going to pump SPY, pump my fucking AVGO calls
Im too busy losing money on 0DTE SPY
Hell no. Bonds are trash. 100% SPY.
Best thing I did was stop trying to day trade and stock pick and just sit in SPY and QQQ. Thrown on some cash secured puts and covered calls for a little option action without losing your shirt.
SPY $820 by end of September. That will really demoralize the bears. Then a baby 5% pullback where they go all in on puts at the bottom.
SPY doesn't know what to do. Default melt up setting resume. Buy your calls, offload before weekend at close. Simple, so easy a caveman can do it
$1k a day on 1 DTE SPY CSPs? That's wild! What are the mechanics of your trades? How many contracts are you selling every day and at what deltas? Guessing you roll the puts on red days

Out of curiosity how do you choose what tickers to watch? I just keep finding myself coming back to SPY lol
SPY, VIX is barely breathing it's safe to pump
If you zoom in on the SPY chart it looks like something is happening.
!banbet SPY 750 August 31st
Congratulations for trading SPY instead of SPX. Your prize for being a fully grown donkey is an extra $103,698.43 in tax liability. But I guess it doesn’t matter if you’re going to keep trading 0dte
The insane pump on nvidia to keep SPY up. incredible
SPY back to where it was 12 hours ago. It's over
SPY not gonna dump EOD cause that’s too telegraphed It’s going to dump on Tuesday to fk all yall
someone out there has been averaging down on SPY 0dte calls 37 times today, certain that the next green candle is the start of a massive rally, only to be proven wrong over and over again.
Yesterday it was SPY 777. Today it is SPX 7777
One SPX contract is basically equal to 10 SPY contracts. Also SPX can’t be taxed over 26.8% because SPX options qualify as Section 1256 contracts, granting them the 60/40 tax benefit. Your SPY profits will be taxed at 37%. So, you’re going to pay over $90k more in taxes on SPY than if you did SPX. You also would’ve only needed to buy like 600 SPX contracts instead of 6,400 SPY contracts.
SPY, VIX, and DXY are all down at the same time 🤡
WTF? It's 0DTE SPY puts 900k?
I will accept SPY to get un-pinned in either direction. Let the cards fall where they may.
I hope SPY goes 725 end of sept
I don’t get it. Where was SPY when you bought these and how have you doubled your money on a move of less than a quarter of a percent?
