Do you mean just when SPY is down a lower percent than QQQ from the previous trading day?
Bers when World War 3 begins but they made $632 on SPY puts
Quick reminder. If SPY drops to 671 and it holds, sell your hedge/puts and buy calls.
my stragety is everytime SPY is lower than QQQ i buy calls on open and it moons
the more months we consolidate, the more your 401k will be worth when SPY breaks out to 800.
Oil pumping - SPY kangarooing Sugma Bols
Just in: Straight of Hormuz renamed in Gay of Homos. SPY to 800
I mean it could also be one of the big banks or hedge funds buying 0DTE on SPY and then shorting oil. It wouldn’t get back to its previous levels because of fear + stop losses

3 cargo ships hit this morning in the Strait. SPY is flat green…
If you haven't been following the last day or so, Bessent and the Treasury are reportedly using our tax dollars to short oil futures. The correlation it has to DXY, while actively adding liquidity to the market, has been propping up QQQ/SPY and much of the market. The risk of our government manipulating futures, there are many, but the biggest is that they can be squeezed like anyone else.
If you look at the screenshot OP got assigned @635 and that's why he or the broker automatically exercised @636. So OP has sold @635 call and bought @636... Probably on the day of expiry of the contract SPY closed above 635 and hence MM /writer of @635 assigned OP. So in order to cover the position broker exercised @636 leaving OP in 37k ish in debt
Is SPY going to be super flat until cpi?
Mines, true crimes, Mina Kimes… don’t matter… SPY 700
The ‘people’ here are acting like SPY just pumped 500 points in the past week and is due for a correction
pedonald needs to declare victory aka surrender asap, so SPY can go back to range trading 680-690
everything is priced in SPY will never move out of range again
Bol be like "3 boats got shot at? I guess it will only be a SPY 2% gain instead of my projected 3% gain."
Doesn't even matter if we get hit with a nuke and open -5%. We will end the day green no matter what. SPY to 800 EOY and to 20000 by 2030 as AI and Tesla flying cars generate gazillions in profit
Naked strangle? Present 🙋♂️… got the Q’s yesterday, going for the SPY today.
it's okay guys. mango said war is almost over as israel are known to be very effective in ending wars quick. SPY to 700 by open!!
Overnight oil looks like SPY chart from yesterday
Thanks!! Most of my small investment is already in SPY and a few solid stocks. But it is tempting to do some trading when the market is so up and down to make a few extra dollars.
SPY flat YTD and here we are 3 months in
It was never about SPY hitting 700, it’s the friends we made along the way
I mean, SPY -.15% ain’t awful. But CPI is this morning too.
See bers? The straight is a nothingburger. SPY stays green
there's a global oil crisis and we're 3% off ath Shit only goes up nowadays. If SPY gets too low the dollar machine gets cranking
cargo ship struck in hormuz strait is already priced in. SPY +1%
SPY under 680, probably will sink further
Lmfao 😭☠️ we will never see SPY 480 again
The fact that SPY is still at 680 is crazy to me lol. It’s less than 3% from ATH
“Full porting” (putting all your capital) into call options on SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust at the open is an extremely high-risk move. I can explain the logic traders sometimes use for that kind of trade, but it’s important to understand that doing it with 100% of your account can easily result in losing most or all of your capital in a single day. ⚠️ Here are the arguments traders usually make when they decide to go heavy into SPY calls at the open: 1. Overnight Momentum Carry If the market had strong bullish signals overnight, traders may expect momentum to continue at the open. Examples: Futures up strongly Positive macro news Strong global markets Bullish reaction to economic data In these cases, traders sometimes try to capture the first intraday push upward. 2. Gap-and-Go Setup A common day-trading thesis is the “gap and go.” The idea: SPY gaps up at the open. Buyers chase the move. Price runs another 0.5–1.5% intraday. Calls can multiply quickly if that happens because options react strongly to fast directional moves. 3. Opening Volatility Can Create Big Option Moves The first 30–60 minutes of the trading day often has the largest price swings. If SPY moves quickly: A 0.5–1% move can cause some short-dated calls to move 30–200%. That potential for quick gains is why aggressive traders pile in early. 4. Liquidity in SPY Options SPY has some of the most liquid options in the world, which means: Tight bid/ask spreads Easy entries and exits Massive daily volume This makes it easier for traders to enter and exit quickly during fast moves. 5. Short-Dated Options Magnify Small Moves Many “full port” traders use 0DTE (same-day expiration) options. Because of the gamma exposure: Small moves in SPY → huge percentage changes in option value. Example: SPY Move Possible 0DTE Call Move +0.3% +40–80% +0.8% +150–300% This is the attraction. Why This Strategy Often Blows Up Accounts Even though the upside can be huge, the risks are severe: 1. Morning Reversals Are Common The open often fakes out traders. Markets frequently reverse after the first push. 2. Time Decay Is Brutal 0DTE options can lose 50–90% in hours if the move stalls. 3. One Trade Risk Putting your whole account into one trade means: No diversification One bad move = account damage. ✅ The realistic takeaway: Aggressive traders go heavy on SPY calls at the open when they expect strong intraday momentum, but it’s essentially a high-risk speculative trade, not a disciplined portfolio strategy. 💡 If you want, I can also show you: What indicators traders check before buying SPY calls at open How professional traders size SPY options positions A much safer way to trade 0DTE SPY These can dramatically improve your odds. 📊
Buying call options on SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) means you’re betting the S&P 500 will rise before the option expires. Here are the main reason traders choose calls instead of just buying the ETF itself: 1. Leverage (Control More Capital With Less Money) A call option lets you control 100 shares of SPY for a fraction of the price. Example: SPY price: $500 Buying 100 shares: $50,000 Buying a call option: maybe $800–$1,500 If SPY rises: Shares might gain 5% ($2,500) A call option could gain 50–200%+ 📈 This leverage is the biggest reason traders buy calls.
cargo ship hit in the strait. SPY GUARANTEED +1%
Gonna be coming up on half a year of range bound SPY. This really doesnt feel like winning.
SPY stuck in a 675 to 685 range is not as bullish as the 680-690 range
I got u bro I’ll buy 3-4 SPY to pump it for u tomorrow
Its not that I doubt that what you experience with stocks going down right after you buy them, its that I’m saying it’s not something uncommon at all and that there’s more to it like psychology for example. When you say that PHDs should study you because there’s a unique effect when you uniquely purchase stock, could you imagine why somebody may think that you have the mentality that the world is against you? You legitimately think that this phenomenon you’re experiencing is so unique and it hasn’t appeared until u/available-range-5341 started investing, and that it’s so strange as to be studied? To answer your questions, most stocks follow the market, the strategy that I follow is something outlined by the subreddit r/realdaytrading and it has an entire community that pretty much exclusively trades using this edge. In short the idea is that you find stocks that have relative strength (or weakness if you’re shorting) (just using an indicator), and then you trade “the market” using these stocks. So if you think SPY is going to go up, you go long on stocks that are relatively strong, this creates a buffer because if you were wrong about SPY, you have a strong stock that should either still go up, or it might hold steady, or if it drops, it will drop not as steeply as SPY. This is just a super super brief summary that doesn’t at all cover it, if you’re interested you can check out the subreddit, there is NOTHING for sale or any profit that the creator of it gains. So just check it out with curiosity if you want. As for the moving averages, these are just major support/resistance levels, if you put them on a chart you will see that price gets supported or resists at these levels, of course not every time, but it is certainly significant. With that said, if a stock is below all it’s moving averages, it has many levels of resistance to get through. BUT, again, if you’re trading based on fundamentals and you look at their financial statements and what not and have a thesis and believe that the company has a higher intrinsic value, then the current “bearish” sentiment that I stated earlier is actually a buying opportunity for a “cheap” stock. Complete opposite for “trading”. In trading (as opposed to investing) a useful analogy is as follows: betting on a stock that has been going lower is like betting on a drug addict to get his life together, while betting on a stock that has been making all time highs is like betting that a ceo is going to continue doing well in his/her life. It’s different with investing because buying things “on sale” is a better mentality, where as in trading you don’t care about the intrinsic value of a company or the discounted cash flows or the ROIC because your just catching short term moves that have more to do with normal just market movement and volatility.
Uncertainty is bad for SPY. High prices are bad for SPY. Oh and nearly everything. If Iranians create enough uncertainty even after victory is declared the market can drop.
SPY calls were the correct move, not whatever this is. Better question is, why do you have $2.85 in your Roth?
Then why did SPY moon on trump’s fake taco yesterday
I made 12k because I did what i've been doing for the past 2 weeks now. Wait for biggest dump at 9:50 to 1030 then full port and sell by afternoon highs. If you look at the weekly SPY charts, its been that exact pattern every single day from last week except March 5. Amazing cheat code
Riding a fake CPI, then loading up on SPY puts.
Is WSB bearish on SPY for tomorrow? I need to know before i buy calls
The year is beginning 2028 - we are on the verge of breaking SPY 700
Glad it worked out this time, but man - that's the kind of move that blows accounts up eventually. I've been there, down bad and thinking one trade fixes everything. Sometimes you get lucky and it does, which feels amazing until it doesn't. The problem is your brain now thinks full port yolo plays are viable when really you just got bailed out by market conditions. Next time SPY moves against you in those 6 minutes, you're wiped. I've seen people turn 8k wins into -20k the very next day chasing that same feeling. Take the W, step back, and rebuild with a plan instead of desperation trades.
consolidashiun, my boy. weekly shows a lower high forming (for this week) but obviously we will have to see how the week ends the previous lower high would be around SPY 650ish monthly candles: draw your line from the Covid lows to the Liberation Lows - clear uptrend. i for one would LOVE to see SPY 600 again holy fucking shit i'd buy some LEAPS there - buy more if it dips to 485ish again and thus, that is the nature of stonk market. dip buyers like me salivating for "generational" opportunities - which is why the markets will never "crash" (but gold will rise and make all stonk gains fake and ghey in USD)
Yeah man I’ve had to learn the hard way too..lock in those gains and maybe try n play again it we all should know SPY can make a major change in a matter of minutes! Set a minimum daily profit amount…hit it and sell! Once you build your account up more (probably have more) you can increase your daily minimum profit…protect your account and gains and that’s how you get your shit growing
#I remember once Biden was going to give a state of the union speech. He got on stage and simply said "fuck ber" and dropped the mic. Next day SPY was up 6%. LMAO🤌
Mining the strait puts the GUARANTEED closure at 3-6 weeks now up from 2-3 weeks. The US strategy is now to bomb infrastructure until they “cry uncle”. The timeline for that is months, not weeks, so it’s more likely won’t see the strait open for months. That means we’re headed towards a start-stop industrial cycle. SPY will be sub 600 by April.
Bam Adebayo just broke Kobe’s record and dropped 83 points. SPY to 700 tomorrow?
I placed a $500 bet that the SPY would do the same thing it did yesterday…. It didn’t
My theory is SPY is expecting the AI singularity and Oil is just kinda delusional
Is this better than SPY?
Goodbye, dear SPY puts I held overnight. I see you're sailing into the sunset.
Am I interpreting this correctly Somebody exercised 23.5M on 636$ SPY ITM calls?
Who had Orcle calls SPY calls QQQ Calls Nvda calls Amzn calls Baba calls Avgo calls IWM calls today at close? Congrats your a fucking genius
Bought SPY puts at 10:30 today and still made money because I’m not a poooooossy. I’m just retarded.
!banbet SPY 685 EOD
Insanely fucked for our troops if you think about it 😭 Yeah sorry we can’t return fire SPY is up 1% today
Selling you SPY calls at close? Rookie mistake bud 😎
Reee reee why did I sell my SPY/QQQ calls at close 😭
If they were going to attack an oil tanker they woulda done it by now, SPY 700
Imagine buying SPY 700 calls since October
dude I'm feeling the same. SPY is burning me out. a week ago was $1000 down the drain immediately. it's like it switched directions as soon as I put $1k in. Lost in 10 fuckin minutes. today my dumbass thought things would be different. Got in some calls early, was up a good amount by lunch time, decided to get my cardio in and didn't look at my phone but SPY tanked by 1pm and did not go back up. I'm down $3k in 3 months and I'm feeling like it's just working against me whenever I 0dte so fuck SPY. Fuck the market in general. I'd literally have been better off if I just went to a casino and bet it all on red.
But will SPY hit 660 before my puts expired tomorrow
You could count on SPY to still be stuck at 690
Well looks like we’re back to the daily SPY 700 talks and how everything is an AI bubble
My SPY puts I bought before close today are properly fucked aren’t they
I have Oil Calls and SPY puts 😇
I'm gonna let you in on a secret. At 9 in the morning of every trade day, watch QQQ or SPY until 10:00. If there is a sharp spike up or down, it tends to trend that way until around 11/12. Wait for it to dip or rise about a 50 cents or $1, respectively. Place your option bet in the opposite direction. So if it trends up, then call one price below the current. Sell around 10% percent. Try it. Don't trade again until the next day. Let me know how it goes.
dont worry guys I got SPY calls, ain't no way opening up anywhere near green.
I don't see why you wouldn't just hold your SPY and use it as collateral to sell "safe" low-delta puts?
I’m so retarded I got oil puts and SPY puts
SPY green AH just to ruin Ber’s sleep
