that's interesting, will have to look at it more. Actually, bwf have gotten to be my most common daytrade. There are lots of different variations. You can enter them near the close @ 1dte to make a 0dte ORB play. If you expect a flat market, you can set the front strike very close to atm and go (SPX) $10/$5 or $15/$10 for a pretty cheap ticket. If there is a lot of call skew, you can put the call flys in a correlated name to try to avoid it. I regularly do pairs trades with highly correlated or un-correlated names. For instance, I might do an ORB set up with RUT $10/$5 puts entered near the close on 1dte, and a similar trade with IWM in the calls. I'll scale down the IWM calls if I am leaning bearish., but I will try to make the smaller trade at least capable of covering the debit of the larger one. I do the same thing with NDX/QQQ, SPX/SPY, etc.

You need to be selling PCS on SPX, not SPY. Don’t listen to Tom Sosnoff…. Tastytrade is dead… Warsh axed the Fed Put. TastyTrade og strat relied on the Fed Put, that’s why they completely have rebranded since Warsh came in as Fed.

fair point on universe, so i reran it on just the 100 names with the most option volume on our own tape (SPY QQQ NVDA TSLA META etc — 86 had enough history). same result, still perfectly monotone: tightest decile median 5d move 3.4%, loudest 5.1%, and P(>=5% move) climbs 31% -> 51% straight through the deciles. quiet-stays-quiet is strongest exactly in the liquid names. agree with you on execution though — the study is about the underlying's range; whether the chain is tradable enough to express it is its own filter
Monday morning, first thing SPY ODTE. Let go
ULTY - really, really bad holding to own. I’d be willing to sell calls on it, but not covered calls. Wouldn’t touch shares at all. SPY - no reason to sell CSPs when XSP and SPX exist. Forfeiting huge tax advantages that you’ll kick yourself for once you do the math. SWVXX - fine but I prefer more mega cap tech exposure personally.
Maybe. I sold and re-bought NBIS several times on Friday because SPY was dumping but NBIS was so bullish. I think it's going to moon when markets open.
Thank you for that information. I would like to give you some more information and ask you your comments. It would be a very interesting study with real numbers. On May 9, 2025, I was assigned 100 shares SPY at $565.36. As of today, it has increased 36.23%, a total of $20,483.33 with a market value of $77,019.00. Additionally I’ve received a dividend which is worth today about $46 and the original premium was about $2.15 per share. Do you feel you’ve done better with one csp contract? Have you earned the approx $20,500 in the same time frame from premium? I’m really interested to learn what you think.

Just stop. You’re on tilt as they say in poker and it’s no way to trade. I personally lost $50k and thought the only way to get over it was to make it back. Then lost another $50k before I just stopped. After not doing any trading for a while I started putting money into SPY and couldn’t be happier. I’ve made it all back and then some and my stress level is about 1% what it used to be.
XSP is the micro index, not an ETF. It’s 1/10 the size of an SPX contract, so equivalent in notional value to SPY and benefits from 1256 tax treatment. Also cash settled like SPX is.
holy heck guys this chinese company Evergrande is apparently gonna destroy the whole economy i have updated my SPY 1000 price target from EOY to EOY 2027 as a result yon win this time bears
If you're curious, I went back and looked at the quarterly rebalance for the SPY, DOW, and QQQ for the last year. Tickers that get added typically gain about 10-20% in that two week period after the announcement, with the biggest gains obviously being the first couple trading days after the announcement. There wasn't a pop after they were officially a part of their index, which tells me that the forced buying for index tracking funds started Friday. The other thing is with all the tech added, the SPY is ridiculously tech heavy now.

I have a habit of buying cheap Monday SPY puts on Fri late afternoon. They are not always getting in the money, but if they do - it's always because of another warmongering and they get like 500%
Not boring at all tbh. If you’ve been doing this for 2 years and it’s genuinely become a 2 minute daily routine, that’s probably a good thing. The only thing I’d be careful with is the 0DTE puts. The 90% of days where they expire worthless are easy, it’s the 10% where SPY moves hard that matter. Rolling them keeps the position alive, but doesn’t really remove the risk. I’d be curious to see your biggest drawdown during those 2 years. That would probably tell me more than the daily premium numbers.
Actually; u did it once you can do it again. Except this time roll big wins into $20k positions like $spy or $qqq so that you do risk too much BP; if u lose everything again at least you have $100k recently invested in $SPY outpacing inflation. 9months you called it a slow grind - let’s see a fast grind! u got this!
Stop gambling and just and hold SPY
yep, i was expecting penny picking comments even if i got margin called on 4 worthless SPY orders currently at about $300k, i can pay that and walk away. it's not going to blow up my portfolio i've made almost that much in 2 years. not something i want to commit too much time to (other than the 2 learning points above)
Its too early to call a gap down wake me up when there are hunger riots and we'll have a serious talk about SPY 750
That's fair and I appreciate your reply. — best wishes in rebalancing SPY concentration risk. It's the kind of thing that's easy to not notice until you go looking for it, been there, done that.
AI-esque response, but great catch on point #2. I'm also holding a borderlining overdiversified portfolio. But I'm still going to look carefully into rebalancing around SPY.
critique. current takeways for me: 1) look into futures 2) rearrange other holdings to counteract SPY dip
Excellent execution discipline — the "no emotion, just do the task" mindset is genuinely the hard part most people fail at. A few things worth pressure-testing, though, because they're the kind of risk that doesn't show up in a 2-year track record until it does. **On ULTY:** worth separating "recouping my investment" from what's actually happening to your capital. The most recent distribution is classified 100% return of capital — meaning that payment isn't yield, it's your own principal being handed back to you while NAV shrinks by the same amount. ULTY's NAV is down roughly 79% since inception, and its trailing one-year total return (price + all distributions) is -4.86% — negative, despite the huge headline yield. The reverse split wasn't a footnote; it's the mechanism funds like this use when NAV decay gets bad enough that the share price needs resetting to look normal again. Worth checking total return on your actual position (not distributions received vs. cost basis) before calling this "on track" — the two can tell very different stories. **On the 0DTE SPY CSPs:** the "always roll, nothing gets assigned" pattern works right up until a genuine gap-down day, where rolling a deep-ITM short put doesn't eliminate the loss, it just pushes a bigger position further out. Two years without testing this through a real SPY correction is a real limitation on what the track record actually proves — a 90% win rate on short-dated puts is exactly the shape a strategy takes right before a tail event, not evidence the tail risk isn't there. **On using SPY shares as collateral for SPY put-selling specifically:** that's correlated exposure, not diversified. A sharp SPY drop hits your collateral value and moves your short puts against you at the same time — the two aren't independent risks, they compound in exactly the scenario you'd most want them not to. None of this means the strategy is bad — just that "boring and no emotion" and "the risk isn't there" aren't the same claim, and the parts of this that would show the risk (a real correction, ULTY's total return over its full life) haven't happened yet in your sample.
Absolutely. But I've planned for that. Even if SPY got delisted, I'm just playing with house money at this point. I don't invest anything I can't afford to lose. But I think if SPY got to that point, we have bigger problems.
Yes, I saw that as well. insert - "Why not just buy SPY?" meme. Absolutely true. I hold SPY shares, and use it as collateral to sell puts.

It is genuinely hilarious for me to see my GLD, CVX, and SPY continue to move up together.
I would suggest a couple adjustments on the SPY CSP’s: 1) Use SPX or ES futures as underlying. This gets you 1256 tax treatment (60% LT / 40% ST). Immediately boosts after tax return and reduces fee drag due to larger size. 2) Consider writing spreads instead of CSP’s. This makes it a defined risk trade. Selling options can be boring until one day your portfolio goes up in flames. It will feel like you’re throwing money away on the hedge most of the time and then some day it will save you. It also can give you more options when managing risk / rolling. Also, it’s more margin efficient.
Thanks for your reply. Here's your answer: I don't look at any greek; I just sell OTM 0dte SPY puts one or 2 strike prices below the money line. What do you think?
Septembear means SPY will only be up 2% instead of 4%
What are you holding over the weekend? I got SPY calls lol
They say your money doubles every seven years in the market. Why wouldn't they just use a 7x leveraged SPY ETF, are they stupid??

Just a few weeks ago we had 2 days in a row where SPY wenty up around 2%. So there is a chance.
lol in this sub people blow 10k in a day and call it just another Tuesday. You can't go wrong with the ETF investment. Take it easy on those "principles" and invest in QQQ, SPY, VOO, VTI; I personally don't like healthcare specific ETF, but there is nothing wrong with that choice either. Gold has historically underperformed the stock market. So keep that in mind. Gold return has been about 5% annually in the last 100 years versus 10% for s&p. Having said that, maybe the next 5 years gold outperforms, who knows. I personally never invest in gold. congrats for investing, and good luck on your investment journey.
770 -> 800 is a 3.9% increase. According to AI there have been 13 times SPY has increased 4% or more over a four day week. However these were mostly around strong recovery periods after major downsides (housing crisis, covid, etc.) On average SPY increases .4%. So realistically it won't happen.
Down 63k on SPY short. Dont even ask
#Individual stocks may drop, dump or even die but indices like SPY and QQQ will NEVER drop ever again LMAO🤌
Which one u talkin about? SPY 560p 0dte?
SPY calls failed me hard but god damn my cousin in law in working on the steam frame and invited me to stay over. I would’ve paid for that shit gd.
Well he tried today, all that cuckposting and bitching on cuck social didnt even pump SPY 0.5%
Lol? What if trump makes SPY go up another 40% by the time his term ends? Do you not want that?
3 years ago I think; i played a SPY 1DTE and not realizing before close that I ended up putting in 5K worth. Watched it open the next day at 300$ in value so I sold and said "ill find something else this sucks" then watched that same trade go back to my buy in within 20 minutes, and 4 hours later it was 5x my buy in. I lost 4700 when I couldve just accepted a full loss and put my phone down and made 20k.
For me it’s the trades I didn’t have conviction on, which is all of them. Literally. I started trading in 2017 or maybe even 2016 I don’t even remember. Anyway, I never had much money but I should’ve just bought and held stocks. I had PLTR sub $9 basis, HOOD sub $15 basis, I had ALAB at $69 cost basis. I sold BTC for a loss when it crashed from $7k to $2k and never looked back until Doge came out in Robinhood. I had hundred of thousands of Doge, but I sold for a loss when they were about .0004 cents or something like that. When it started pumping I said to myself fuck that scam as I watched it climb to .75 cents. I had TSLA at $420 basis 3 splits ago. And I had SPY that I had literally said “I’m done with options” that was Feb 2019 I had a fat tax return and dumped it all into SPY. Then COVID took 30% of it and I of course sold at the bottom before the most epic recovery in the history of the market. Still don’t own any shares of anything. Been all options and I’m still down but I’m still here. I ain’t hear no bell.
do you simply trade SPY or what? A lot of stonks went down in the past 3months, we didn't have a clean rally since June! You could have made money shorting memory, consumer discretionary, software, Bag7s, airlines, S&P500 stonks after inclusions and plenty other stuff. A lot of these had drawdowns of 30%+? Don't short SPY, that's just suicide. Or accept the reality: we already went through a 10% (9.9 something\*) correction in March, yes we could lower cuz midterms iran and septemBER, we could also just keep going up, nobody knows. Literally just look today stonks, it's rotation but big single names still goes up and down (more down recently)
Just after close, over 10 billion dollars worth of dark pool activity happened on IVV and SPY. Next week will be spicy.
Not sure if this is where previous commenter was going, but their growth has slowed. How many more people can they get to subscribe to Netflix? I don't have numbers and don't care to research in depth, don't own any shares. I don't see them growing revenue much more unless they come up with a new service or other means of earning revenue. Looking at a chart, the stock is down 20% in the past 6 months, 14% down on the year, almost 40% YOY, only up 32% in the past 4 years. At that point, I'm better off just investing in SPY/VOO, get a better return and less worry. It will probably turn around, but this stock is a dog. On the plus side for anyone invested, since I have my eye on it now and don't own a share, it's guaranteed to go up 800% in the next 2 months. 🤣
What's your CAGR over the years? And compare that with SPY or VT. If you don't know what CAGR is then I'd be worried.
When I realized I was rooting for people to die in the current conflict because my SPY puts would have ripped. I couldn’t sleep for a month. Ended up 100% or so, doubled-down and prayed for a violent war. TACO happens and I lose all of it. It’s all for the best. Pretty fucked to be hoping people die so that you can get a nice check. Learned a lot of important lessons from that experience. Namely how to apply for a job at Wendy’s. And all bears are ghey.
i mean, this has to be the top right? if we are throwing the idea of not trading with countries around seriously, then this has to be peak mass casino market mindset. SPY 420.69 EOY 2027
It's not giving me a percent on YTD on investing for some reason, probably because I have less in there than what I started with at the year bc of withdrawals. I am up only 18.3k, showing +6.74% on the options section. (I mainly only do SPY options) My best and worst have come from that. +10k best day June 5th (757p) and couple back to back days -4k worst August 17th & 18th (769c-776c range)
Nothing wrong with prices doubling every 7 years. SPY to 64000 by the end of our lives, average home price in 9 digits, sounds kinda cool ngl.

Anyone else holding SPY calls over the long weekend?
Seeing multiple crazy big bets in the option sweeps today. $15 million on $30+ VIX calls expiring November. $20 million on SPX calls betting that SPY is going above $790 by end of September. All over the map. Some adding tail risk and protection through VIX and others betting on a major move higher.
You need to be in QQQ and SOXX calls. Everything selling off in SPY except semis and data center. Multiple SOXX tickers pushed through their 50ma today. SOXX is likely to follow next week. Probably going back above $600 within two weeks. Puts will be burned. SPY opening at least $773 Tuesday.

Moon.com is almost the opposite expression of this idea. Your plan combines a bullish view with short volatility, assignment risk and then capped upside through covered calls. If the actual thesis is only SPY finishes higher, all those extra moving parts may not be helping. 0DTE theta is fast, but so is the gamma when price moves against you.
