QQQ moves harder since right now money just moves around within SPY holdings and it stays flat lol.
did i miss something, why are we still battling for 760 on SPY?
I sell options on both and I think I’m a bit better at SPY
How does one lose $1.5M? If you bought SPY, you know you'd have over 2M and can live modestly just off dividends and appreciation?
I want the samw dor SPY on Nov 3
#Imagine being Brazilian JPow right now as their SPY dumps -18% overnight LMAO🤌⛹🏾
#Imagine waking up as a Brazilian tomorrow. Their SPY index is down -18% right now LMAO🤌
If SPY goes to 100, I'm selling my kidney, liver and anything else of value, taking 100x margin loans at 50% interest from various lenders and going all in.
#According to my technical analysis if SPY keeps dropping -1% per day it will drop to 0 in 100 days. LMAO🤌🍁
Oh yeah. Yikes. Is it better to employ this strategy with SPY?
No man ODTE SPY calls all day
Could have been at SPY 1000 by now. Living through one of the most transformative tech bubbles and because 🥭 is the biggest regard, we’re still in the 700s
Sellers are exhausted. It’s almost over. Huge buys will start tonight and tomorrow morning. Guaranteed SPY +2% tomorrow

Imagine thinking that SPY 800 this year was going to happen Also, imagine thinking SPY 800 is going to happen next year
I know a lot of people here trade SPY/SPX and QQQ/NDX options heavily, but I’ve accepted I’m simply not good at predicting index price action and might as well throw money away or bet on black instead 🤷🏻♀️ So I usually stick to individual stock options (most big names have 0DTE too, which helps) and I’ve had much more success with those 🙏🏻🚀
#I ran some calculations and according to my math, if SPY drops $10 per day it will drop to 0 in 76 days LMAO🤌🍁
Qs looking like they want to break 700 already. After that, higher chance SPY 750 this week. I have no hope Warsh will pump it on Wed and earnings will probably be mute off that. Qs need to pump here and now AND hold this entire week even if it is fake futes.
We are going to wake up to SPY 700
If you have a smaller say under $30k account. I'd say people who buy and hold like VOO obviously are profitable in the long run, but if they use that for options and futures and day trading, 99% probably lose money because youtube and Instagram bombard them with liars telling them how easy it is to turn that into $100k in a month, so they take on way too much risk, make dumb trades and over trade. If you have a larger account, $100k or more. Absolutely tons of people that are profitable. Selling cash secured puts is probably the single safest method there is, and is what most do. Because you can afford to take way less risk. Say you have $25k and want to use it all for a CSP. Can't do it on a stock over $250 so best you can do is something like Amazon. Amazon price action is volital as hell. Do a 7dte option at 20 delta, you'll be lucky to collect $200 and there is a very good chance it drops, blows by your strike and break even, at which point you're holding the bag on a loss. If you got $100k you can do SPY, get close to $300 in premium and odds of it falling past your strike are very slim, and if it does it won't be by much, where to can wheel it and sell covered calls for it to get called away. Amazon however if it blows passed your strike even selling CC to get out of it could take weeks or even months to pan out. Learned that from experience spending 11 weeks to make $45
Well everything is fucked. See you at 700 SPY
see u at SPY 740 probably buy at that point
SPY down 4% easy by morning
Kospi fading, Nikkei fading, soon SPY and Q will be red. Goodnight bols
I sell 1-dte expiry put options, as well as longer term put options, and my strategy is different for both. For 1-dte options: SPY or QQQ. I'm not even sure there are any other options for 1 dte options. I favor SPY, because I'm most comfortable betting on the behavior of SPY. But sometimes QQQ pays meaningfully more than SPY, so I'll do QQQ instead or 50/50. For strike price, I aim to make $1,000 per day that I trade, looking generally in the range of $500 to $1,500. It's just a judgment call based on what strike prices are currently selling for, in light of the recent behavior of the market. Usually anywhere from $2 to $10 below the current trading price. Sometimes I decide the market is just too optimistic and I will skip that day entirely. For longer term options: SPY and TQQQ are my two that I sell put options for every quarterly future date. SPY I do staggered strike prices between 20% and 30% below the all time high price of the stock. TQQQ, more like 50% to 60% below the all time high. Then I have a few randoms thrown in, like SOXL, NVDA, MU, one GOOGL. The randoms are usually sold on days where I'm not selling a 1 dte put for whatever reason (either because the market is too optimistic, or because the market is down and I've been assigned).
Back in the 2000's - most people invested via regular deductions in their 401k. At least - anecdotally - that's how people that I knew did it. While I did actively trade - it wasn't common because of the costs - and afaik - many retail investors who investing outside their 401k were likely to use mutual funds. By early 2000's - retail investors started to be more active because of the dotcom boom and also because of decimalization. Also - trade commissions fell following the dotcom bust from around $30 to $20. Also - while the S&P 500 was starting to be a major index and over take the Dow in the 2000's. The VIX was primarily measured using the OEX until 2003 so in the media. And in the early 2000's - total market indices like the Wilshire was quotes along with AMEX and NYSE composite. And current popular ETF like SPY and QQQ used to trade on the AMEX iirc. ETF's like VOO didn't launch until 2010.
#SPY will dive into god's butthole just like I predicted LMAO🤌🍁
full-ported long on SPY pre-market drop... guess i'll be flipping burgers at wendy's tomorrow instead of trading.
Basically no impact, everything’s priced in. If we picked up a 50bp swing then we would be talking. I really thought Friday would be a big move either direction given the size of the single day slide in the 10y yield, over 15bp is huge, but not even a full % on SPY.
Just need a lil SPY +10% tomorrow
If you're watching corn dump, just remember that corn is already \~35% down from ATH's. SPY is only \~2.3%, and QQQ is \~7%.
watch out, you might freak them out when they learn what owning SPY implies…
Covered calls on SPY. And some dividend stocks. Not extremely huge income. But pays my groceries plus utilities and gas.
It's really f-ing boring work that doesn't have any magic to it. Buy a long ITM call leap on Jan 1 for SPY and let it run until JAN15 or whenever or at some arbitrary profit target. All the active stuff like selling is fine too but it's a lot more work than just leveraged, controlled beta.

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!
SPY OPENING AT 750 on Monday.
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.
I agree, but SPY will somehow still end up green by close
That is why its QQQ for show SPY for pro's
#Tomorrow SPY down 0.1%, tech down -1% and semis down -10% LMAO🤌🍁
yea wtf is this? how is this even allowed? imagine posting about SPY movement from 2 weeks ago.

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.”
Im looking away from SPY been buying other stuff for now like XLV XLP going to do much better near term

A n00b only tracks SPY and not individual major stocks
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
SPY is a dirty little cock tease
Gambling my last $100 on SPY 0DTE calls Monday
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)
