I am like 90% confident the autistic regard being liquidated was the bottom. But there is still one question left: how miserable is mkt liquidity right now that it cannot even absorb a 40billion forced selling? tbf if he was levered 4:1, that's like 160B worth of shares. And he had positions concentrated in smaller volatile companies, so mmmaybe it makes sense. but it's still a bit weird. Anyway SPY new ath eow it's inevitable
Shorting SPY was a dumb move on my part. I would have made more shorting Nasdaq
SPY saw your expiration date and said now seems like a good time.
If you held SPY from December 2017 till today you'd be up **182%**
Ain’t no way SPY hits $600 in the next 12 months. They just will not let this happen and will likely CUT rates in a scenario where the stock market falls that fast
I’ve been trying this with $SPY and every freaking time it moves the opposite way. It’s like I scare the shit out of it. One day I’ll be right though.
U can just gamble on SPY/QQQ with extra steps at 9:30-9:35. It's far more precise and probable considering u can see the movements of all the holdings and compare that w/ SPY/QQQ at 9:30 AM. Very likely the movement will continue from 9:30 to 9:35. U get in with 5-10 contracts. Then make sure you finger-trigger the close button when the option hits your profit target then get out. Do the same thing for your losses. If you don't believe me, go look at the chart yourself.
Were you trading SPY 0DTE?
Interesting that today the SPY opened pretty shitty today and closed higher, and the Qs opened amazing today and closed lower
Man if QQQ pumped to 695 before dumping at close I’d be rich rn… Can’t believe they held it down while SPY took off
So, After-hours trading happens after the market bell until like 8pm. It's not run on the traditional markets. Most brokerages charge you extra commission to trade after hours and there are execution risks involved through the ECNs. Pre-market opens at 4:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m before the bell. Tradeview has an option to see market data after and pre markets, but the data is not always good and it's often delayed. SPX and SPY are not the actual index but vehicles using the index. Many products mimic results similar to the index, but it's not always the actual index.

Had my eye on [$SPY](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/spy?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=SPY&utm_content=template_1785546437505_5fxqz8) lately. The volatility around it is really the whole story. Educational read for me, nothing.
Neptune is entertaining Uranus SPY 745
SPY moves virtually identically to VOO. Day traders prefer it because of the much higher volume and options availability, not because it's more volatile.
I just need SPY to 0 or 1000 on Monday to retire
When it comes to SPY and QQQ: 1+1=2, but 2-1=0
Can we fuck off from this 740-755 SPY range already. Either direction I don’t care.
Can’t believe QQQ didn’t pump with SPY
So calls on SPY and QQQ? Because inflation goes up and money printer go bbrrrrrrrr
CUDA isnt a moat anymore; there is literally NVDA-less dedicated open source. Also, 1.5% off the record highs for $SPY is a bottom?
# Guess SPY is going to 0 Monday Inshallah
Peace deal on Sunday night and SPY is +2% premarket
Honestly I read CPI, PPI, PCE, GDP, and any other reports by just looking at SPY. Lmao

The SPY is not the only think you can buy buddy
SPY really drew the message for us
From 9:30-9:39 I could tell u that SPY is downward and flat out today. U should have monitored this if u play with 0DTE. Heck, u shouldn't hold 0DTE for more than a couple minutes, let alone the whole day. Create your exit strategy, 10% profit is safe and reasonable. So if u see u made $30 from 1 contract ($300 ish per), get out, do not wait for it to go up any higher. Reverse syndrome got u just like it did this time.
SPY in the same holding pattern for weeks, and because we didn’t omega pump on high beta stocks for two days in a row, is the end of the world on monday
Ima need a side car circuit breaker on SPY in the near future.
Still tracking [$SPY](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/spy?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=SPY&utm_content=template_1785539870628_gob5gw) here. The implied move is the first thing I look at. Curious what others are seeing.
One thing nobody flagged: at 86 delta and that deep ITM, the LEAP is basically synthetic long SPY financed at a rate baked into the extrinsic you paid. So your real benchmark is not did SPY go up. It is did SPY go up more than that embedded financing rate plus the dividend you give up by not holding shares, which on SPY runs a bit over a percent a year. Across 14 months that carry is a real hurdle you pay whether the index moves or not. It does not make the trade bad, deep ITM LEAPS are a legit leveraged proxy for shares, but the number to actually watch is how the extrinsic bleeds off relative to that hurdle, not your 776 and 700 price stops. If SPY grinds sideways you can be right on direction and still lag simply holding shares, purely on carry. Worth knowing your breakeven versus stock, not just versus zero.
Allah grant free will to blow portfolio on 0DTE SPY option
SPY ATH on Monday is pretty much guaranteed
Yeah too many cocky bulls here. They were all literally shitting their pants after the FOMC crash. And that was like 0.5% on SPY. Imagine a 10% SPY crash, they’ll all be liquidated.
#SPY is scheduled to hit $800 next week LMAO🤌
You have SPY options expiring next week
Bro, I have SPY $751 puts expiring on 8/4/2026😝
Of course! 🙏 today was a great day for SPY. Closed above my resistance zone, filled BOTH gaps.. goal next week is to break $747.38 and keep trekking to the top of the big trend resistance!
SPY 800 is actually not that far. Only 7% away.
Imagine peace deal (for real this time) on Sunday and SPY opens at +3%
Damn my Monday expiring SPY puts at close wasn’t such a dumb idea.
Woah that SPY close was weird
Bad for my SPY calls I’m guessing?
SPY ATH on Monday I hope you are ready
I’m currently holding CL calls and SPY puts. Upvote if you think this will be a winner on Monday
lol SPY almost 0.5% down from close, had to kill those puts first haha
SPY would have hit 755+ is evil ol MM didnt flush it first Shame on everyone here
Depends, SPY DOESN'T CARE, ONLY THE OWNERS WILL CARE
Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck it feels so good to be right. War escalates tonight babbbyyy! SPY to the earths core and OXY to the fucking MOOOOOOOOOON
wtf SPY crashing after hours
I've been tempted to buy in it seems due to outperform SPY near term but feel like I missed it
I’ve been in 13% cash since SPY $760. Waiting patiently for that next 10% drawdown. Then load calls and a shit ton of shares
SPY has become a bipolar wreck
One of the craziest most nonsensical days this year. Oil pumping. Ten year pumping. Geopolitics deteriorating. Confidence in the Fed completely gone. And yet. We pumped. It either means we are headed to SPY $780 or that a massive dump is incoming. Hard to say.
>*i just made a grand in less than 10 min by setting a limit to buy 10 SPY 748p for .48 each and set a limit to sell for 1.48 which got filled in about 5 min or so* **^(if i dont hold anything long i dont have to worry about this bullshit pump and dump camel market that makes everything trade sideways and just keep throwing profits into SGOV)** ***^(going 80 percent cash on the next rally and just doing this put strat until we get a legit crash i dont see much more upside that can be missed by keeping money in the market)*** moving to thailand in 2 weeks to start early retirement and will continue to daytrade but now it will be at night so im trading coffee for beers
SPY is 100% hitting ATH on Monday
Yeah the MM is neutral all the time, when the spot price equals max pain on Friday. Often you'll hear that options put walls and call walls, which take volume to breach, put the SPY in a range, and often, in listless non-directional matrix, the spot equals max pain/plus or minus the fact that the book has changed since the last OI print. Often gamma is zero. However, the further away from max pain the MM is, the more money they lose. They aren't the entire market, but they are among the biggest whale players, but a billionaire unloading or loading up on a position or frantic retail bids, can definitely result in a bad week for MMs, but a bad week is just that. This is super hand-wavy, but start reading about options OI tables and GEX tools if you want to know what is happening beyond price and volume moves. But, to avoid being bruised by these MM dynamics, trade less. Algos have no fear about going very contrarian, but humans are perhaps more likely to unload near contrarian extremes in a dropping market. I think as a starting retail investor you should concentrate on how long you can hold a volatile stock that still has growing top and bottom lines when you have a profit. If you start panic selling, then you need bigger barbells, more optionality cash, more diversified exposure. I don't like volatility. I know my own limits. So, I don't run a leveraged book, I run a hedged book, where if the entire market drops and I disagree, part of my portfolio is going up, the part that I should be selling when fear is maximized. But, it's okay to sell your losers, especially if they keep missing. Wall Street has a lot of winners to chose from. If a stock only hits estimates, than that is the same thing as a miss to the market because the market expects analysts to underestimate top/bottom line growth 75% of the time. Don't hold losers. Don't wait for companies with declining or rapidly leveling earnings to turn around, especially since tax-loss harvesting can work in your favor. I trade mostly in my IRA and try not to look at my buy-and-hold accounts much. I know what's in my IRA so I can derisk in that part without tax penalty. I don't plan on selling, so I can take concentration risk when the stars align. I want PE compression due to growing earnings to force holdings higher over the long arc of time.
I don't think it's unpopular at all. Deep ITM SPY LEAPS have been around for a long time as a leveraged alternative to owning shares. As long as your thesis changes before your expiration does, you can usually reassess, roll, or exit. And it sounds like you've got a plan, which is half the battle. The only thing I'd watch is sticking to those exit levels. It's easy to say you'll sell at $700, but might be harder when you're actually there
I take that -0.1% at market close as the Monday liquidation. We are now reaching ATH by next Friday. One more trump tweet that peace agreements are continuing to go well with Iran and SPY hits ATH and moons above by end of August
SPY went from $748.60 to $747.02. I’d hardly call that a dildo unless you have a real small peen
Lots of things could happen over the weekend. I am holding those SPY puts in case😆
Trading SPY 747 call at the last 30 mins was better than drugs.
if you looked at the 1 month chart for SPY you'd think nothing happened
nice work on the NVDA run that 60% is fat. SPY taketh away sometimes but GOOG covering the sins is chefs kiss. bol next week
what was news for SPY pump?
Okay day. Nice little 60% gain on NVDA at open, gave back 20% on lotto puts for SPY. Also made $2K thanks to GOOG going vertical. Have a great weekend yall.

Take back to Wednesday when this entire thread was spamming SPY to 700 and ai bubble is popping. I stg the morons who actually type in here have goldfish memory and think the world is ending every spy drop they see. Locked in end of week calls @3 pm on Wednesday and made a massive bag. But sure, it’s the end of the world dude!
