You're essentially saying "everything is great because the AI trade is not crashing yet" because that's all SPY largely is with a handful of tech companies.

Joke’s over now. The real dump starts tomorrow. SPY 500 by Friday
After $VIX surged roughly 20% late last week, Monday might be volatility crush, provided no new geopolitical shock emerges. 🚀 THE SHORT-TERM BOTTOM MAY ALREADY BE IN. WATCH $SPY $771 as a key resistance, if we go above it expect more green shoots!

My wife brought up divorce and I said that was a stupid thing to say. She tries to steer the ensuing conversation about how I shouldn't say stupid because it's dismissing her concerns. I dunno, I think randomly threatening divorce is a pretty unhealthy thing to do. SPY calls for Halloween.

Index options like SPX are European-style (no early assignment) and cash-settled, so there are no shares to deal with at expiration. ETF options like SPY are American-style and settle into shares. The size is very different too: one SPX contract is about 10× the notional of SPY. Depending on where you live there can be tax differences as well, worth checking with a local professional.
OP filled 900 calls on SPY!? At those volumes I would much rather trade 90 contracts of SPX.
Imagine a SPY +2% day tomorrow
What we’re all going to see tomorrow: “Your SPY calls have gained more than a 1000% since you opened them.”

Imagine we hit SPY ATH tomorrow
Had no idea what to buy with paycheck, so I bought SPY
I'd focus more on getting a well paying job first. Then just buy a book on Economics made simple or something like that. Then just put your money in SPY or QQQ. Now just read books about personal finance and automatically invest a bit each month until you can answer these kinds of questions yourself.
currently not much, i sold out with the crash SPY, AT&T, Reddit, GM, NFLX, BIRK I like to buy after selloffs been gamma scalping Nebius the last month with great results, the RV is just so much bigger than IV
SPY +11.24% YTD, how is this a crash. A crash is at least -20%.
Even a n00b know that a correction is at least 5-10% drop, a crash is more that 20%. Do some reading. I stand corrected though, SPY is down 1.48% for the month, not 2%. 6M is +6.26% and YTD is 11.24%; not a even a correction, let alone crash.
My brokerage account is about 30%SPY, and 25% AMZN, and I sleep very well at night.
Next week will be interesting with mega cap companies reporting earnings next week. Seems like further down to go… but SPY still only 2.7% off ATH

If someone could chime in with Public, that would be great. If you trade SPY/QQQ you would get rebates for each contract. Index options don’t qualify for rebates, no PFOF payment.
Mid fills are hit and miss with SPY spreads on Webull, butterfly even harder. Tasty and Schwab are quicker with mid fills but charge fees, and Schwab will often give price improvement but you won’t see it unless you see the fill price. If you enter .20, the can fill you at .18-.19 but don’t show the price improvement. You have to look at the little pop up that shows the fill.
I knew about SPX extra fee but was not aware that XSP has the same for some brokers. I that case I would use SPY if zero commission mid fills are available.
SPY with a double bottom on the one month. Shit bout to pop off. Calls on weeklies. Head on a swivel. 👀
A few veteran traders i was talking to say there will be a massive rally after midterms because despite SPY being near ath the market actually has been shit most of year for many stocks

Or it's a sign that more people than ever are investing, and that money most likely goes into the US stock market because it's the one that returns the most ? My national index is down at -5% YTD, S&P500 is up 11%~ & MSCI World is 17%~, why wouldn't I invest in the SPY ?
#Here is a pair trade with zero chance of failing: buy SPY calls and individual stock puts. On most days SPY is green or flat while 80% of stocks are red. LMAO🤌
The explosion of posts like this when SPY is 2.9% off the all time high (lol) is characteristic of strong bull trends that are still ongoing, not macro tops. When the user base on Reddit flips net bullish on pullbacks that's when you need run for the hills. So long as the pencil necks are flipping out, calling Black Monday every Monday, and screaming that the AI bubble has popped, that's how you know everything still very bullish.
Od much rather have SPY tank. Full disclosure I am cash gang.
watching extreme cheapskates to prepare for when SPY goes to $0
Can't wait for next week. FOMC, GDP, and big tech earnings. Either SPY is going to 800 or 500.
i want a blast off top, SPY to 1000
Did you compare the GEX filter against a plain trend or volatility filter, like SPY above its 20-day moving average, VIX below its 1-month average, or VIX term structure in contango? Does GEX still add anything once you control for those?
Please tell me you don't believe you can create a meaningful squeeze on SPY...
Swap the photo for Kegsbreath and change Allah to God, and it's basically the same as MAGA. Just saying... Looks like I need to be up Monday morning for SPY puts.
Just my 2 cents - my dad and I had done this for about 2 decades but almost went bankrupt a couple of times. This strategy can be very painful at the wrong time. It's one thing that you accept the risk, it's another when the disaster actually happens. Because you're selling puts, when the drawdown is huge, it also means your underlying SPY will suffer. Conversely, selling longer dated options have worked really well for me over the past few years. Ofcourse, there's some adjustments and firefighting required once in a while, but I'd say I've gained that skill to a decent extent. Otherwise, good strategy overall for the portfolio. Very similar to what I do. I've purchased bonds and bond ETFs worth the entire money I have. The average margin/haircut overall is about 9% - so I have the remaining 91% which I use to trade SPX options. I ensure I have about 40% excess liquidity at all times (which is what helps me firefight when things go against my longed dated option positions)
#Monday: #SPY down 0.1% #Nasdaq down -1% #Semis down -10% #Your portfolio down -100% #LMAO🤌🍁
SPY +2% on Monday and I’ll stick 20 watermelons up my ass
Time to feel how highly concentrated is the SPY
1- 2 months ago, the weekend thread was.. "GET FUK BEARS". We are going ATH, SPY 800, QQQ - 800.

A few examples, from Sep 30 close to Oct 23, 2026 close: HAS (Hasbro) +33.94%; TRU (TransUnion) +33.31%; EFX (Equifax) +32.88%; OVV (Ovintiv) +24.99%; PEP (PepsiCo) +7.14%. SPY was -0.35% over the same dates. These are selected examples, not a ranking of the whole market. Price returns exclude dividends. They show the weakness wasn’t uniform; they don’t explain why AI stocks sold off. Checked in a fresh Claude chat using [Monk.trade](http://Monk.trade), which I build.

Lol your worst month and SPY is only down 2.5% from ATH
Clearly y’all are in fear here. Clearly we are going at least 2% up on SPY
Congratulation on your new found success and may this continue for you and not stop! I don't understand the hate in the comments when we're all trying to get where you're at and there are plenty of money to be made for all of us. Not outgrowing jealousy and hate for something you have no control over and not effecting you is wild to me. Any chance you would share on any specific strategy or indicator you use or if I can pick your brain privately? I'm currently kind of in the same boat as you (minus the success). I started right during the GME fiasco and have been on and off ever since. I use to trade a lot of big name tickers and lost quite a bit when I first started. I stopped for a while now, but still look at the market everyday, mainly SPY/SPX. At this point I am slowly feeling confident in terms of how SPY moves but haven't really started truly trading again until last Thursday with a small trade that I got right. I have about 40k that I am ready to use for my next option trading chapter and would love to gather more insight before I crash and burn, or hopefully succeed like you.
You’re too concentrated, obviously. My portfolio is -4.92% from my ATHs (SPY is -2.77%), while I am still +32.68% YTD (SPY is +14.88%). As someone else said, there are still bull markets, you’re just not in them. Stocks include AAPL CRWD PANW PLTR. I did the above while holding SOXX, and that’s mainly because I didn’t buy at the tops. But mainly because it’s not a huge part of my portfolio, I’m spread out over other indexes and boring cash cows like AAPL.
I watched the new edgerunners s2, felt it was a lot less memorable and good than season 1. Puts on everything. GLD 357 QQQ 680 SPY 750 fuck ur stock market
Judging from previous posts, he started out solely trading SPY (600k profit) but then learned about SPX's tax advantage from WSB and made the switch recently. He's thanking WSB for letting him know about the tax advantage with SPX and just lamenting about how much of his profits will be taxed as short term gains under his SPY trades. He knows the difference and wishes he knew about SPX from the jump.
Well I decided to check how my port has been over the last 16 months since I started playing with the market again instead of just leaving it in SPY like a boomer. My port is +16.5% while SPY is +22.0%. Hm. Honestly I'll take it
The way I go about sizing the positions: * Worst possible 1 day SPX drop: 20% is the worst SPY day ever, you could say 15% below your strike is the worst that you believe can happen * Max realistic loss (on 1 contract): `SPX value * 15% * 100 = 7700 * 0.15 * 100 = $115k` * Share of your account you're comfortable having at risk: say this is 80% (for me, I go with 50%) * Min account size: `max loss / account allocation = 115500 / 0.8 = $144k` Depending on your risk appetite, you could run this at a higher allocation, but around the $125k is the minimum I'd say. There are folk out there who run the same thing, but with /ES, which is 1/10th the size, but the liquidity is worse and fees eat into your profit more. Personally, I'd ony run this in a 150k + account.
What I mean is that historically, those catastrophic days of 10+% SPY drops rarely come out of the blue, and are usually during a period when VIX is already elevated, which causes your strikes to be further out than the usually 1-1.5%. E.g. during the Iran war start, I was regularly selling 3 or even 5% OTM, so even if a 10% day happened, my max loss would be "only" 5% of the SPX value. Obviously still a terrible day, but not quite eating the whole hit. Now, I'm not saying it's impossible we have a 15% drop on some terrible sudden news, out of the blue when VIX is <15. I'm not expecting it, and it would hurt, but I size to survive that
Really love what 🥭 has done to the country. I support our president and his amazing decisions which have directly benefited the stock market. SPY to, idk, $1 million dollars?
Just consider that she has destroyed more wealth, ~14.5 billion, then she currently manages. You'd be better off just investing in SPY, less risk of some lady making another massive bad bet and wiping you out.
Every day SPY ends red I sleep better at night.
Where is your data from? SPY went down 36% in 2008, but 2009 and 2010, went up 26% and 15%.
Everything reminds of SPY 300
Iran MOAB strike Saturday morning. Oil above 130, SPY -3% Monday easy
***Shoutout to WSB for letting me save on tax dollars with SPX options - about 600k of gains is from SPY*** This doesn’t make any sense, did you make money from SPX or SPY? You do know the difference? Nevertheless, congratulations OP! You have achieved something everyone else can only dream of. I hope you can see how incredibly risky this has been, and be humble enough to acknowledge the crazy luck you had. Please make it real by buying a house, a car, and leave enough in treasury bills to pay tax. If you truly only traded SPX and NDX options (no SPY or QQQ!) your tax bill should be around a quarter million? Else much more (no tax advise)
So big money has a a lot of 10/30 SPY puts. Probably too late for an entry though
in an actual crash SPY will start with a 4 instead of a 7
SEMIS suck, SPACE sucks, TECH sucks, what the hell is even keeping SPY and NASDAQ from plummeting right now and how do I invest in those sectors

$IWM! Stay on the cheap tickers! I know there’s ppl on Twitter who’s callouts for $SPY OTM are cheap but idk that cheap but def $iwm!
crazy that SPY went absolutely nowhere since August
Something I noticed, plain positive GEX passes on QQQ but not on SPY (p = 0.21), and your QQQ 0DTE 0.25 delta strangle goes from +0.35 to +1.38 with the filter. My guess is the positive GEX days are mostly the low vol days anyway. Could you take the same count of days by lowest ATM IV at the prior close, same 0DTE strangle, same fill, and put the two Sharpes next to each other? I would like to understand if the edge comes from the dealer gamma or just the vol level
Has SPY ever gone up 2% in one day?
I knew these fuck face pieces of shit were going to ramp SPY EOD I sold my puts for a profit so suck it

#If SPY drops 1% per day it will drop to zero in 100 days. It's called maff. LMAO🤌⛹🏾🍁
SPY down, RSP down, Yields up, etc. We just selling everything today huh?
So where’s the dip the last week? You just miraculously missed multiple 1% + drawdowns in the last week in SPY?
SPY/Qs look like shit but you're telling me software names like CRWD and the absolute shit PLTR are still up and pumping? The hell?
If you're 90% cash and that's 400€, your problem isn't market timing. Buy RSP if you want the carnage to actually show up in your statement, the equal weight version tells the truth that cap weighted SPY hides behind NVDA and Microsoft. The 70% dumpers you're looking at are small caps that were never in the index to begin with.
Going to eat dog jizz out of a cup if SPY dumps Monday
What is the tax benefit of SPX over SPY? And what is your strategy with the 0dte options? How do you choose a price point and strike?
