This dude put me to sleep but I woke up with SPY slightly higher, what did he say
Okay its story time for you retards, who for some reason gobble down 0dtes while literally not understanding how options price the spot. With SPY as an example. What happened today (hint the news has fuck all to do with it). We opened at delta neutral or max pain, why is this important? No it isn't some MM conspiracy to steal your money, it mathmatically is just the number where there is the LEAST amount of pressure to hedge in any direction. Market opens VIX climbs, IV expands, now IV does a bunch of things but it is best to think of it in this terms of "how wide a range of strikes" have the potential to be ITM at excise. When it expands it pulls further OTM/ATM strikes into view for potential excise. Well put OI at nearer strikes was higher than call OI from the opening delta neutral. Those algo's go "I need to be ready for excise at these potential puts" and short sell stock as they have negative GEX . This momentum validates the probability and off it goes, weeeee until suddenly OI starts to fall off, you will never guess it around 731. And suddenly the algos feel pretty safe, and properly hedged. This journey took about 18M volume and started to fall off around 2pm. Well your friend theta is still in the background doing work, things aren't moving around as much, VIX and by proxy IV start to calm down. Those puts look less likely to expire ITM, and the algos job is not to be in a short trade it is to be hedged. As they sold short to hedge, they buy back shares to drop the hedge and as that "view" gets narrower, they move back to GEX stable ~736 to 377 (slight negative to slightly positive, with 736.5 true stable). On the way up some momentum, overshoots but whatever, not major. The FMOC decision drops, even though 75% chance it was hold no fucking mystery there, the event has happened. The probability something else happens is immediately zero, IV collapses, VIX collapses. Immediately the range of ATM/OTM options the algos can see disappears, and they do what they are designed to do, adjust the hedge which again being ATM/OTM puts (same thing that brought us down at open) are what fall off faster than OTM/ATM calls (you can see this in the OI yourself) and the spot price rips towards delta neutral. Once that volume calms down, we settle back at GEX stable, and bounce around between slightly positive and slightly negative. Most 0dtes are sold ATM/OTM +/- 1% of prior expiration close. Unless there is material news now from the warshinator that brings in active selling, algos are happy with their hedges and until excise and pricing for tomorrows expiration (while theta continues to burn off extrinsic probability) we probably don't see shit until 3:30pm when they liquidate you retards who still don't know how this works. Full disclaimer, I think this has functionally broken markets, but it is what is driving spot. A boring fucking math game. Thats why Kenny G and friends hire the best math minds out there, they are doing "look at my quant" for real and thats why they are printing money hand over fist in this math game. Fuck you learn what you are trading, you disgust me. I don't care that prior the longest thing you didn't read was instaramen instrucitons, thats why it was cold you retard.

I can't wait for Warsh to come up to the podium and just say hello and watch SPY tank 0.5% instantly.
Good time to buy some 60 day .7 delta SPY calls. We will see 745 in the next 3 days
Not really. Sure you can read a pattern of "talks going well" and SPY rips or PPT stops the bleed, but after a few months the pattern changes. Some retail has made money doing just that, but large amount of folks lost a lot, especially after pdt rule removal
market sentiment summarized. SPY: "oh noooooooooooo, fed volatility and iran" \*sniff\* US corporate, government bond market: "Do you want rate hikes or knee caps" Commodities: "US-Iran War news pamp it, fake peace treaty dump it"

SPY smacked into the wall that is $740.
My gut says puts because SPY holding below 740
Mango is going to come out during the Fed press conference and say there is peace in the Middle East. SPY is hitting 750 today.
so i've decided to only trade options on AAPL and to play SPX the last 10 mins of the market. That is it. I always make money on AAPL and always seem to give away some of my profits to other underlyings. SPX/SPY has been pure hell for the past couple of months. It's only good when everything is going up, and up. But this consolidation season is horrid. Can't even get clean downtrends.
SPY chart is forming the post-nut fading erection pattern.
was watching SPY and QQQ but the play was GLD and SLV

VOO and SPY are essentially the same thing, just a matter of branding. They both track the S and P 500 (a list of 500 large US companies, can think of as the 500 largest US companies). TQQQ as you said is 3x leveraged QQQ (Nasdaq). The Nasdaq is the tech index, so it is even more concentrated in tech compared to VOO/SPY. The S and P 500 is now also pretty heavy in tech, but there is a difference between say 40-50% tech and 100% tech. 3x leverage means TQQQ is designed to return roughly 3x the returns of the Nasdaq on a daily basis. This means if Nasdaq increases 2%, TQQQ should return a little under 6%. If Nasdaq drops 2%, TQQQ should also drop a little more then 6%. Because it is more difficult to return 3x as opposed to 1x, the fees for TQQQ are a bit higher, which is why the returns will not be exactly 6% of QQQ. My understanding is that leveraged ETFs besides from the inherent risk of being 3x returns, also are somewhat worse for long-term holding, due to math reasons that I haven't really looked into since they don't really appeal to me overall, but this article goes into some of them [https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/121515/why-3x-etfs-are-riskier-you-think.asp](https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/121515/why-3x-etfs-are-riskier-you-think.asp) I think honestly if your investment knowledge is such that you did know what TQQQ is, it is likely best to avoid leveraged ETFs. If you want to keep it simple VOO or SPY should do just fine.

Don’t let bears fool you. It took 14 days for SPY to go from $755 to $735. They didn’t make a fucking dime. Down substantially ytd all of them.
Hike would be so funny for the plot but unfortunately rates unchanged and SPY ending at 737-738 more likely

Real talk? How to profit from a potential surprise hike today: 1. Wait for red to settle down. 2. Buy the dip with 3x SPY or TQQQ. 3. Everyone realizes this is a "gesture" for "credibility" but the money printer will stay on, effectively doing monetary doublespeak. 4. Market will shake off and have a big recovery rally. 5. Profit.
SPY call volume has exceeded put volume heading into the meeting (5.88 million calls vs 7.41 million puts). Instead of a rate hold unwinding defensive hedges, a rate hike could trigger traders to *add* new downside protection rather than remove it. This positioning dynamic often creates short‑term mechanical selling pressure for SPY immediately after the 2:00 PM ET statement, as fresh hedges and bearish flows build rather than unwind.

Obi-Wan defeated Anakin on Mustafar just for SPY to close at 750 today
wrong direction, SPY 3 red candles is enough
The point OP is making has nothing to do with what you bought. They are making the point that when major bear markets hit and shit gets real, you may not have the choice of just holding paper losses in whatever equity you bought (could be SPY or VOO). You might need to sell your holdings in order to pay for tangible things like your mortgage, food or or anything else you need to survive in the event you are laid off and no longer have an income stream. It's a valid point.
Die SPY, Die QQQ, Die QQQ, Die SOXX 🙏
i come back from my job and its a battle for 737 again. i will be 85 and my grandchildren will be talking about the SPY battle for 737 theyre dealing with.
SPY Goes down and takes port with it. SPY starts to recover and port stays flat. 🙃

No it’s saying SPY has traded +/- ~3% for 3 months in a row. You thought you were so insightful to “call” it’d fluctuate you actually linked a comment 🤣. Wow big if true!
imagine he hikes now. Job market already shit, oil shock, we r fuk for real, actually retarded. He doesn't even have any data to support it now, """official""" inflation is down (sure it will be higher next month, but for now its lower), and he would be responsible of the crash of the market on top of the economy. (2) he hikes but signals no more hikes for the rest of the year (on what grounds tho lol) = based on this, I predict very high chance of no change, but with some people voting for hike. \-> Signals September hike, which is priced in already, Maybe no hike if taco stops the war idk. # tldr: SPY new ath today 🤡

#Let me guess, SPY will fully recover by close but every stock will still end the day at day's low LMAO🤌
position was small but still wild, imagine if something like that happened in the US, imagine if SPY dropped 40% in basically a month, absurd
They'll announce interest rates will stay the same then SPY will go up 2%
$SPY $QQQ all worry last 3 years All worry, big banks and big tech print big earnings always every quarter
