MSFT gonna moon SPY gonna melt
I've read some backtesting that if you're going to DCA over time, you should buy monthly whenever the market drops below ATH. It's almost impossible for an entire month that SPY will be ATH every single day But even this only barely slightly beats out just buying the first day of every month no matter what, to the point that it's almost negligible
if a few percent can distress you, you have downs syndrome and belong in SPY shares and nothing more.

Anyone got any insider info on Tuesday CPI thinking about full porting some SPY 0dte
It's SPY, forgot to fix that UI bug. There wasn't any historical data on my laptop till now and I didn't refresh.
Problem is it works until it doesn't. SPY 550 wasnt that long ago. Tards in WSB arent in indexes, but in high risk 0DTEs and get continually wiped out by MMs.
bers been calling for a correction since SPY 550 LOL yall have missed out on so much gains literally just holding the index its not even funny, just sad. Its like everyone suddenly developed this sense of wokeness that calls for fairness and some other gay bear bs in the markets. NEWSFLASH: if its so manipulated like you say, and its so corrupt and forced to go up, then your bullshit crying wont send it down either. So, its not a capitulation, its just coming around. If the market is as corrupt and manipulated as you say it is, why don't you just get in it and ride the wave? It's clearly pinned upwards, like you call it out to be, do you think suddenly youll be the retard savant that saves the market with his puts? lmao GL bertards
*said the ber when SPY is at ATH*
individual names hit differently than index weeklies into earnings. ASML and TSM move on bookings/orders and capex guidance, not the headline print, so you can nail the EPS number and still get run over. NFLX reports Thursday after close. first time on single names, IV crush works against you even when you're right on direction, so I'd size smaller than your QQQ/SPY habit and lean spread over naked long.
Every time it drops 5% you sell SPY and replace it with futures backed by tbills. Size it so you can be 100% long ES by the time SPY is down 60%. When it eventually hits a new all time high sell all your futures and buy SPY. What if SPY drops 70%? GuessI'llDieShrug.png
Just need SPY to either double or go to $100 this week. Just learned a new options technique
The lies are so constant and completely ridiculous at this point I don't understand why he doesn't just say Iran agreed to peace and will invest $800b in a US fab. The market, and most of you dumb fucks, would 100% believe it and SPY 798 by Wed.
SPY, Robinhood, META These are the 3 GOAT's I've never sold.
SPY may go down next week (RSI overbought, CPI, and Iran escalation) and usually memes, like GME, are negatively correlated to SPY, so SPCX actually may go up a little.
**If your stop is purely SPY-based (most common for a levels/alerts service):** "The invalidation level is defined on SPY price action. Not on the option's premium. I don't model theoretical option value at that level beforehand. The stop is: if SPY trades through X, the thesis is wrong, exit the option at whatever it's bid at that moment. This keeps the alert framework consistent regardless of strike/expiry chosen, since every retail trader may hold a different strike or DTE." **If you do check option value at the level:** "I do a rough estimate of what the option should be worth at the invalidation level — using delta and expected IV at that point — mainly to make sure the trade has a sane risk/reward before entry. If the option would already be down 60%+ by the time SPY hits my stop, that tells me the strike or DTE is wrong for this setup, not just that the stop is 'far away' in SPY terms."

Anyone that still has a lot of cash on hand like myself will probably be waiting for a bigger dip that never comes. It's because we were too regarded to buy the last big dip down to SPY ~$630, and we'll be too regarded to buy the next dip as well.
If it’s my first $19k going into the market, I wouldn’t be trying to pick a single stock to try an hit it big I would get into o r or two of the ETFs that gives broader access to/ exposure to the markets. Such as: VOO IVV SPY VTI ITOT FXAIX
Good breakdown. With SPY options, levels matter because time decay is already punching you in the face. I’d rather buy near a clear support/resistance reaction with a defined invalidation than chase premium in no man’s land. Direction matters, but entry quality is half the trade
My AI Slop Analysis: I'll give you credit for one thing: the screenshot is real money and real gains, which puts you ahead of half the posts in this sub. But let's actually look at what you're showing us, because the numbers tell a different story than the post. Your account sits at $1,301,268. You're up $182,333 this year, which is 16.29%. That means you started 2026 with roughly $1.12 million dollars. FartPolluter's comment landed because it's mathematically correct — you needed a seven-figure starting stack to produce this result. That's not a criticism of you personally, it's just context that the post doesn't provide. Here's where it gets interesting. The S&P 500 is up 11.09% so far this year. You beat it by about 5 points, which is genuinely respectable. But the Nasdaq 100 is up 18.61% — you trailed it by 2 points. Your return for 2026 lands exactly between SPY and QQQ, which is the return profile of someone holding a balanced large-cap portfolio with a moderate tech tilt. Nothing wrong with that. But look at your equity curve in that screenshot. It's smooth. It rises almost continuously with tiny blips. That is not what a low-float penny stock portfolio looks like. Low-float trading produces jagged, violent curves with gut-punch drawdowns. What you're showing looks like broad market exposure, not a hand-curated watchlist of overlooked micro-caps filtered through 55-day moving averages. Now the method itself. You describe watching price action around 5/13/34/55-day moving averages and changes in volume and liquidity. Those are tools. Every charting platform has them and every retail trader uses them. What's missing from your description is any specificity about what you're actually looking for — what configuration signals an entry, what signals an exit, what your position sizing looks like, what your actual win rate is. "I look for stability in multi-stage trends" is a sentence that could describe anything or nothing. And then the post ends with a funnel. Not a shared watchlist, not a specific example, not a trade breakdown — just "send me a DM and I'll invite you to the free group." Your only replies in this thread are "Send invitation." Not a single response discussing the actual methodology you came here to share. Maybe the group is genuinely educational and free forever. Maybe you're a millionaire who got bored and wants to give back. Both are possible. But from what's actually visible here — vague method description, unattributed returns, smooth curve that doesn't match the strategy described, and a CTA that ends at a private group — there's not enough here to act on. If you want to actually help people, post a specific trade: ticker, why you entered, what the setup was, where you put your stop. One real example is worth more than a hundred free groups.
If you wish to buy puts based on probability of rate hike, QQQ would be better than SPY, and VONG/VUG/MGK/SPYG would be even better. Or sell calls on growth stocks and buy shares of value stocks (AVUV, AVDV) or quality stocks (SPHQ). I’m not changing anything currently, but the market does appear to be preparing for a quarter hike by EoY. Because it is expected, there may not be much drop in growth (or interest rate sensitive) stocks for puts to pay out…it might just stay flat for a bit. Probably depends on if it comes before or after midterms, since conclusion should lead to upward pressure.
# WTI to $500, SPY to $150, Buls to the meat shop 🐂🥩
Levels can be useful for defining the underlying thesis and its invalidation, but I’d separate that from contract selection. A support or resistance level doesn’t tell you whether a particular strike or expiry is good value. Before entering, I’d translate the invalidation level into an estimated option P&L using delta, gamma, time remaining, and an IV assumption. That makes the stop an underlying-based risk decision rather than an arbitrary percentage loss on the premium, which can be distorted by IV and the bid/ask spread. Expiration breakeven also isn’t usually the relevant hurdle for an intraday trade. The better question is what the option should be worth at the intended exit time under the expected spot and volatility move. Do you model the option value at the invalidation level before entering, or is the stop based only on SPY?
# SPY 760 Im bullish on oil
# So, SPY 730 tomorrow because of the strait closure?
Closed strait = *talks going well* tweet soon = SPY+1% 🤌
ADPV ETF is cool because it goes after strong momentum and relative strength but goes full into cash every time the SPY goes below the 200 day moving average. If you're concerned the markets will go through a bear market. This ETF is designed to be in cash during that time (defined by being in cash) Once markets are back above 200 day moving average then it will go back to picking the 25 strongest momentum and relative strength stocks.
SPY “backed by the power and might of the USA”
With patience, means even SPY will outrun it over 5 years.
710P? You need SPY to go down over 6.5%? that shit is going to be down even if spy is down
The rulebook says close before expiration because gamma goes vertical in the last week. At 80-100 DTE the position is smooth and your theta edge is stable; in the final few days a 0.3-0.5% SPX move can swing P&L by more than your original max profit. The distribution goes from roughly Gaussian around expected theta to essentially binary on where price pins. Two extra wrinkles: AM-settled SPX (standard monthlies) has SET risk, where opening prints on expiration morning can land materially away from Thursday’s close and flip winners to losers. SPY calendars pin exactly at the short strike, and since SPY is American-style, an ITM short near expiration puts you in “pay up under high gamma or take assignment” territory. Closing 1-2 days early is the standard compromise: you give up the last of the theta but dodge both the peak-gamma days and settlement risk. Most systematic traders exit at a % of max or a DTE trigger (21 DTE is common) rather than fight the final week.

Unless a nuke or boots on the ground SPY will still go to 770
Market dropping at open. Load end of week SPY calls. Easy money.
If I have to buy and forget something for all of 2027, what would that be? Other than SPY/VOO obviously
What are we buying on the war dip? When does it bottom, SPY to 720 and then next week back to 750
Considering SPY broke 750 and some, I don’t think the market cares about Iran. Ai carries the market right now. Without it everything would have been fucked a while ago.
SPY yawning at Hormuz news, +1% Monday 🥱
🚀 🚀 🌕 Only rockets going are SPY to the moon
Hahaha yes any SPY/SPX option bought 3:45-3:58pm is a flip of a coin gamble
SPY 0DTE all day every day.
Mojtaba’s definitely holed up in the mountains full porting 0DTE SPY options
Somehow, that will make SPY fall and Spiss Sex soar, so that my puts and my calls respectively go to the moon 🌝
# Straits closed again boys. OIL -10%, SPY 800 on Monday 🤡🤡🤡🤡
Axios has the news release scheduled for 2 hours before market open that talks are ongoing well, ceasefire is back on, hormuz is open if you cross it by air etc. SPY should open 0.5% up.
Imagine losing 1.5m while you could have just put it in SPY and have over 2m now. Thats what you should tell him.
honeslty, people like this that are dead set on playing the options game should join theta gang and wheel some boring shit like SPY
CPI always finds a way to surprise the people who think they got it figured out. Everyone staring at gas prices while the real action is in 47 other line items nobody talks about. If core comes in at.4, treasuries get smoked first. Equity puts work too but the bond move is cleaner, less noise from whatever random algo nonsense is happening in SPY that day.
I looked at SPY and a solid handful of individual stocks. Albeit many were high volatility tech but even a pretty stable industrial had shit premiums. I want to play SPY options for fun but I'm not seeing anything attractive at any date. Calls or puts.
then WSB buys puts at the bottom and SPY rips 10% intraday
I think Charlie Mungus also said once during one of the Berkshire Hathaway conferences "I always buy 1DTE ATM SPY options, there's no bigger rush on this earth"
He could do well just buy SPY LEAP calls. No reason to be f@cking around with short term calls smh
Barak Ravid reported that all shipping lanes are now open in strait and final approval is pending. That's a good enough apology, please please pump SPY to 760 and above.
Boring weekend so far. 1% up on SPY and 2% up on QQQ if nothing regarded happens.
VOO (instead of SPY) and QQQM (instead of QQQ) because they have lower expense ratio but invest in same underlying indices.
LMAO retards downvoting you. WTI to $500, SPY to $150
There are 2.8 million Put contracts expiring on Friday this coming week. There are 730k Call contracts expiring on Friday. A ratio this skewed is basically fuel for a prolonged bleed upwards until something actually significant happens. VIX at 15, too. Flat/Melt Up all week. A single VIX spike this week sends $215bn worth of raw capital rocketing upwards in value. Best we might get is a few tiny spikes to soak up liquidity and keep the train rolling up. Just going on raw open interest numbers this week, it would take over a quarter of a trillion USD in selling pressure to push SPY down past current exposures. Possible, but SPY has been a liquidity sponge the past 2 weeks.
0DTE SPY calls and forget about it
people that pay money to read his substack please just redirect that money to SPY calls

SPY 825 before midterms.....
Dont you think that depends on your diversification…? 🤔 eg. if you already have financial sector ETFs then maybe add a QQQ or QQQM ? but if you want broad U.S. that’s your VOO or SPY… very different. Maths your expense ratio and compounding in an excel if it makes your decision-making FEEL more CONTROLLED. 😵💫
VIX 15 and some of the large caps are starting to run so probably SPY 780
I feel like next week we will get our decision on where market wants to go. Either it’s the start of SPY 780 or back down to SPY 720
What are you on about? Obviously SPY should be treated differently because pin risk exists and SPY is not cash settled. Closing out cash settled options before expiration is not necessary in many, many scenarios. Your argument supports my claim, and, like I’ve shared already, I understand how these contracts are settled.
Predictions: NVDA -> 220 (next week) SPY -> 760 (next week) RCAT -> 15 (earnings) AVEX -> 20 (earnings) This is not financial advice, clearly. This is dementia
SPY has more volume during afterhours and premarket than it does in actual market trading times lmao
SPY is up only 10.51% on the year. And so many businesses are far lower than ATH... We can easily do 850 this year if earnings season is stellar...
What are the odds SPY runs up 20% in the next few months?
I kept $25 in my account this morning to gamble and a SPY put got me $100. I then gave it all back by the end of the day so I’m right there too pal
We seem to be up on both SPY & QQQ, not sure why. Hyperliquid
If “we” is your portfolio, then sure, it’s possible. But SPY and VTI are down less than 1% from June 2nd all time highs.
I moved to Delta Neutral income trades and, finally, I became consistent! I have losing trades, but the overall account balance is positive; growing every month! I am now focused on SPX and SPY (no more options on stocks). I learned the SPX Best trade and SPY Ride strategies and it made me a difference. These strategies use longer dated options that gives highly flexibility on adjustments to reduce risk along the way. Avoid 0 DTE by all means!
