Shouldn’t be able to trade at all. You’re a public servant; they should be paid as top earners but there should be strict rules and regulations. 1) You and household are unable to invest in the stock market. We’d work out a formula that would pay them out an equivalent of; amount of years served x average return of SPY x whatever amount they wanted taken out of their paychecks and put into the formula…I don’t know something like that. Pay them handsomely but they should actually have to work for it. The 1st-25th are spent in your district- talking to constituents, being present I. The community and they all meet the last Thursday in DC. It starts Thursday night because it will all be televised. All hands required unless in the hospital or other medical reasons.

VOO has a lower maintenance cost but a larger spread. SPY has a larger maintenance fee but the spread is smaller which is more important for day trading than long term investing.
Upped my allocation to 300 shares TQQQ, grabbed a few short term QQQ calls, 1 short term SPY call, some GOOGL calls, IBM calls, ORCL calls, and NFLX calls most of which expire next year GL to me, +7000$ if TQQQ hits 88

Man, these RKLB posts are getting pretty sad. Like, take the loss, move on with lessons learned. Buy the SPY and walk away.
SPY less than 2% from all time highs while market is printing fear, what's your point?
Not sure why you are getting downvoted, RH stopped me from having more than 17 active trades of SPY going on at once and then when sold said, “insufficient margin” for the next trade.
Bols: SPY 750 gap uupp Bers:how many times do we have to show you old man
Considering I have 0DTE calls on SPY for tomorrow I would nut in my pants if we have a 2.5% tomorrow
$0.70 on SPY? Isn’t typical bid-ask spreads <= $0.02 for ATM/OTM? I’m quite surprised how that could be possible. I’m developing an automated strategy that could potentially bump up against this rule, so I’ll definitely be doing further research.
Easily SPY +2.5% day tomorrow, it's in the making since last week, bears all over the place for days now
Loaded to the tits with SPY calls, SPCX calls and Googl calls. Putting on my helmet and praying
KOSPI flat these days is like SPY up 4%. So I'm not counting my pennies.
Webull doesn’t charge, only the exchange fee of like .02-.03 cents. That’s why I use Webull on SPY, I’ve experienced less slippage with Webull, as well.
On highly liquid options like SPY, the slippage becomes massive because all the retail traders are taking those orders ahead of you. When you get filled, the price is already against you. I had fills as far as .70 away on SPY when I had a professional tag.
I was promised SPY would be 750 by now
I guess -2% on SPY is all we’re gonna get lol
Yes, I wouldn’t even take up towards the limit if you can keep them both under 300 a day, gives some cushion on each. The turbo trader feature on Webull is made for day trading, to help make your trades as fast as possible. This is the only broker I use to trade SPY/QQQ on mobile. They have a section that shows you the turbo trade features. You already have it so you can go to the order page on an option strike, on the top right there’s a little hexagon type button, click that and turn on turbo trader from there then you will have a toggle switch up there to switch back to classic orders. On the turbo trade order page, at the bottom is an “edit buttons” where you set up your buttons and put take profit and stop loss on them if you’d like. Every time you submit the buy order, it will send the tp/sl orders with it if that’s what you set up on the buttons. There’s an order confirmation check box, you take the check off and confirmation page is bypassed and your order is instantly submitted when you press your buttons to buy or sell.
SPX doesn't have pfof You would still lose priority with SPY though, so you may have limit orders sit on the book and miss an entry
The only exception to worst fills might be highly liquid options like SPX and SPY.
If you look at it from that perspective then just buying SPY is enough …. Theoretically the upside a low entry point with div harvesting long term … otherwise, just SPY everything and that’s it
Only SPY. Robinhood has worked best for me because of how fast I can switch from buy to sell to rebuy the Same option again while also check the profit all within 3 to 4 clicks

Bought SPY $742 calls that expire tomorrow, give me that copium?
The reason you are not getting a clean published time is that this is a broker risk policy, not an exchange rule. SPY options settle into 100 actual shares, so a short position left open at expiration can be assigned and then gap on you over the weekend or after hours. To avoid customers backing into that, Fidelity restricts opening new same day SPY positions in roughly the last hour, and the exact trigger drifts. It is opening only, you can still close what you already hold. The people pointing you to SPX and XSP are giving you the real fix. Those are cash settled index options with no share assignment and no pin risk, so there is no late day opening restriction to work around. If you specifically want to trade the index into the close, that is the instrument, not SPY.

if SPY moves at least 20% up or down tomorrow, I can break even.
I regret my SPY calls last week please mr market be kind and find make me regret QQQ calls
Does anyone know why SPY doesn't move between 4:30pm and 6:00pm ET on market days? If you look at Thursday night it did the same thing, where it was totally flat between 4:30-6:00 then started moving right at 6:00.
Any reason to be hopeful for SPY pump tomorrow?
Based on valuations alone we’re about 50% over extended. Add in to that rate hikes, probably another -15 to 20%. Plus oil shock, another -30% at least. On top of that foreign stocks more attractive so another -15%. Plus bonds now with good returns so -10%. Fair price for SPY is around negative 80 to 150 or so if we’re being generous.

SPY not even 2.5% down from ATH
Yes, but you're doing it wrong. You should not be trading SPY options and instead trade SPX or XSP index options which have no cut off time. You can open positions up until the very last second before expiry.
Double whammy for my SPY calls
I had a "fuck you, liquidate me" attitude with my puts today, but had to sell around 1 because I had to drive somewhere and wasn't sure I'd be able to do it before market close. An hour and 15 mins later I would have been up hundreds of dollars. Fucking SPY
Bought 100 7/21 SPY $747 calls near close. Why....? Me regard
Guess who risked 3% of port on SPY 1DTE???
If you bought January 2027 SPY 800 calls back in the fall of 2025, you’ve lost money.
forecast for the week: QQQ will experience severe down moves in the next 2 days, dropping 3.2% to complete a 10% correction from the top in June ~~then GOOG earnings, GOOG 500 SPY & QQQ ATH EOW LETS GOOO🚀🚀🚀~~ then Korea gets liquidated -20% in a single day, and we also get a -10% day. but then we still end the day green.
You are ok. Oil is going to go through the roof. Inflation fears take over. SPY down. All good.
If QQQ breaks and holds under 695 tonight, tons of room to fall, all the way until 675-680. SPY a little less so but anything under 740 room to fall until 730. Bulls are fighting as per usual but today was not a successful attempt at a rally.
Damn SPX had a LOT lower volume in relation to average than SPY. Still though, common complaint I see here lately. No idea why it is happening. No attractive plays maybe. I sat out today 🤷♂️
SPY isn't more degenerate than SPX. You just pay more taxes
Bruh, when that signal chat text hits saying “buy” we might see 800 million volume on SPY that day.
I had some SPX, ES and SPY that expired today that I sold/rolled early for massive loss. Now I have SPY 740 for July 22, 24 and 746 July 23
Loaded puts on SPY 734 expiring tomorrow.
July 21, 2026: wen bubble popped. "The phrase *'it literally can't go lower'* appeared in over 100 million rddt posts during the first hour. The Nasdaq lost 70% of its value in the first 5-minute candle, yet SPY still closed green. Nobody knows how this was possible, but JS described it as the biggest green anyone has ever seen—a truly tremendous green. Markets stabilized after reports from **Paxios** announced the **69th ceasefire**, sending **QQQ +420%** in after-hours trading." Thank you for your atttention to this shit!
SPY has been stricken with a touch of 🌈
Either this selloff is for the big boys to buy back in, or this is the slow roll into ending the year around $600 QQQ / $680 SPY. This chop since the start of June, inability to hold premarket leads, daily bleedouts, etc., just makes no sense at all.

now u buy the SPY 0 day call and put , then pray for movement.
I could sell a SPY 800 call to someone else for next Friday rn and we’d find a way for it to be ITM before close today.
SPY +8.3% YTD. What a bubble we’re in huh?
I think we're back to too many MMs having their algos tuned too tightly to USO, so every fucking small price change on that results in big SPY swings.
As is tradition SPY will end flat while bombs fly. News of maybe a peace discussion SPY +2%
Made $1400 Friday. Made another $500 today. SPY 0DTE’s are great!!

If there's not a flash crash because of oil at some point, SPY is going to bounce between 730 and 750 for months on low volume. Similar to what happened for like 5 months last year. All while determinably fucking over all calls and puts throughout the day, of course.
SPY just gonna let Bitcoin outpeform it smh
Lmao when we thought we were having a decent day, SPY shit the bed. If we end green, it’s a miracle lol
#SPY dips 0.1% and every stock drops dead LMAO🤌
Insane how resilient the market is. SPY only 2% down from ATH
SPY $748 tmr and then back down again or straight down to $733?
SPY and VIX both down, somewhere a portal to hell has been unlocked
SPY is less than 2% from ATHs and it feels like we're in a bear market lol
Interesting, SPY is up some 80% in the last three years, could you explain how bears made money?
Sigh. Sold for a loss. Lost $1400. Fuck you SPY. Rigged dogshit.
Just SPY loves 745 so bad I just grabbed calls for tm (i apologize)
My bad. I shouldn't have muddied the conversation with SPY contracts bc they aren't section 1256, at least at Schwab. In my case I use an SPX tail-hedge with puts to protect all of my equities (int'l included). But for "pseudo covered" calls my SPHQ stake by itself isn't large enough for SPX, so I use SPY for that.
SPY looks like todays oil chart upside down
