Please don't. Top traders spend so much time to make sometimes like 30% gain in a year. That would mean turning 3k into 4k. You want to turn 3k into 45k?

That said, if you want to throw it away with a small possibility of doubling or tripling quickly look into 0dte SPY options, or hell, buy calls in oil stocks because those are cheaper this week and if the Iran deal falls apart those will shoot up shortly.

Mentions:#SPY

I get what you're saying. First, SPY is very tech heavy, so it's not really "the market" - it's a segment of the market that includes a lot of the corporations that are ripping the world apart for profit. Second, if you wanted to trade the war, which I did, you were trading USO, GDX, GLD, etc, not SPY. Finally, it will all come crashing down when demand for AI dwindles. An example is the anecdotal reports of people getting rehired, companies limiting their AI use due to token cost etc - when those stop being anecdotal, but instead are legion, that will be a signal. An event that will also impact will be the 2026 midterm. If Democrats take control, the major AI players' stocks will crater in anticipation of investigations, regulations and oversight. I day trade micro-swings in SPY pretty much every day, so I kind of live it and I've made money on Puts, but never more than 14 days out, because I've lost a crap ton of money betting against the irrational optimism surrounding big tech. Anyway, waiting for a bubble to pop is a waste of time. While everyone else is waiting for the big score that could happen in a month or three years, you could be making 25% every day just casually trading near expry SPY calls and puts depending on the trend. I will pick up a couple far OTM December Puts in October, because I figure the election is going to be a shit show regardless and they could easily print huge.

If you feel uncomfortable buying into stocks at this time, don’t. But you can take time to learn the basics, like reading a book, taking a course, subscribing to a reputable financial news product. Put your $ in a HYSA and collect some interest and see how you like it. Learn about DCA into an ETF. Don’t know which one? That’s a good place to start learning. Roth IRA?. But of course! Learn some basic technical analysis too. Reflect on the 20 year chart of SPY. FWIW, MSFT is setting up nicely right now.

Yes, and I was (still am) very worried about this If SPCX flubs in the market, the many other insanely valued private companies looking to IPO (eg openAI) will struggle, potentially not go public, but more importantly weigh down the fever of overweighted tech in SPY that are buoyed by AI hype to many extents as well. When many things are valued irrationally, ie on hype and promise, then cash flows and profits have a way of grounding reality, which these businesses don’t have I know, though, AI tech is more than just a consumer market, AI buoys will remain relevant bc we are in an AI war with China and our peers. We will keep making data centers, expand energy generation, and invest heavily in tech or else our national security is threatened This is different than the dotcom era. That said, SPCX can totally still tank the market for an uncomfortable period of time while all of this still is true too

Even this post you will look back in 5, 10, 20 years saying “I can’t believe i thought it was too late in 2026!” The 5-10% correction you’re waiting for will pale in comparison to the gains you should make in the next 4-6 decades.

Yesterday (6/15) on SPY: - I buy a 752 straddle immediately at market open for 2.84/2.57, total trade cost is $541. - The call side almost immediately extends up toward 3.3ish not even 10 minutes later, while the put side dips to 1.91, my net loss at this time if I were to sell the put is $20 [(3.3 - 2.84) + (1.91 - 2.57)]. - Quite literally, already from here on out, it's only up for me on the call side, my worst case scenario is that my SL sucks ass and I somehow stop myself out wayy too tight and early, and I end up selling my call at 2.80 for a $4 loss *somehow* (knowing me, it is possible, although *extremely* unlikely, *I hope* 😂). - 2.80 is the low for the day on the call side, so my worst case scenario is a $24 loss, or, perhaps I scalped the call initially to offset this, and then reentered. - I think the strategy shines in this example because we don't see as stupid of a chop as we did today. Price gaps up at open, then that support holds and the trend extends up and away. Of course, this is owing to the fact that we had the *final* (finally, lmao) Iran deal announced the night prior, so buying pressure was bound to be all but insurmountable. Nonetheless, this is moreso the price action I expect to see on most days- price gaps one way, then holds at least long enough for me to take a leg to zero-risk or into take-profit, and/or ridding myself of the losing leg perhaps a bit sooner than in this example, and still coming out of the open with a bit of pocket change as a safety net, *and* a leg to ride out for a trend extension, which I'd otherwise easily break even on. Perhaps this example legitimizes the strategy?

Ok, here we go. I sure hope repainting in this case is a non-issue since the strategy is direction-neutral. I am perhaps favored by the fact that SPY followed a general trend both today and yesterday, however. Today would be a good example on the put side. Prior to the information I now have, a straddle at open would've played out as follows: Today (6/16) on SPY: - I buy a 754 straddle immediately at market open for 1.93/1.42 (the high on the 1-minute, we're assuming worst case scenario wherever applicable.) I pay a total of $335 for the trade and we'll track my performance at various points of interest as the day progresses. - It is up for debate as to whether I would've sold the call side immediately about 2-3 minutes after open, scalping that contract for an exit of 2.12 or something in that area (let's say I immediately took that leg to zero-risk, at least). Nevertheless, there was an opportunity to immediately exit this leg for a profit, and to be fully honest with you, even a $15 gain in such a short time is pretty solid IMO, so I don't think it's all that unreasonable that I may have chosen to do this. - Come 10:00ET we see our first significant move, with the call side dipping to a low of 1.27 (assuming I hadn't been stopped out at breakeven as per the previous point- as we'll come to see, that's the best we'd get from the call side today) and the put side seeing a "high" of 1.25, we're already down $83 [(1.27 - 1.93) + (1.25 - 1.42)], things definitely aren't looking good here and this probably represents a prime example of what you and u/ThetaEdgeHQ brought up in terms of bid/ask spread collapsing, maybe some IV crush is to be blamed here as well. Nonetheless, we're not quite down 25% yet on our total cost basis (this is a significant loss though, I won't deny that. I should add that I'd have to be willing to see my spread hit 1.94/.74 for a net loss of $66 at 9:50ET even before we arrive here, and we haven't even seen the *real* move yet.) - Since my overall sentiment for 6/16 was bullish, there is indeed actually a world where I sell the put side for a loss here at what eventually becomes the high for the day, and then eat shit even harder on the call on the way down, but there definitely is NOT a world where I watch that call expire worthless, so I think my first worst case scenario is that I completely misjudge price action entirely, and I go home feeling dejected and cheated. - Otherwise, maybe given that the call side was stopped out at BE or we realized some profit, maybe alternatively I am left with just the put, which we have to watch hit a low of .70 at 10:11 before things finally start to heat up. I must admit, the endurance to do such a thing, is just a *little* bit unrealistic. - But, maybe I turned of the chart or something, maybe I just hit the prayge button, maybe I saw that price doesn't seem to wanna push past 755, and flipped sentiment (I did eventually flip sentiment today, but too little too late. If I am to see the gain we're about to ride out, I'd have to be the most stubborn trader on the planet, but nonetheless, from here on out its only downward from here. - 10:10ET to most would look like a classic liquidity grab, if I wasn't out of the call at any point prior, I'm 100% taking whatever I can get here, so maybe I'm out of the call at 1.61 for an initial loss of $33 that we hope to recoup. - A miracle happens at 10:20, as price finally dips below support and begins to break out from the opening range. This is where the ideal entry would've been, but I'm no genie, I have no way of knowing that price would chop for an hour and a half before making its move. There's plenty of days where this doesn't happen, 6/12 for example saw a gap downward, followed by a sizeable swing downward, followed by a FULL recorrection *and* a swing to the UPSIDE, even. I think that was the inspiration for this strategy, in fact. Suppose I average my call down at the bottom on 6/12, how reasonable is it that at 9:50ET on 6/12, I hope for a recorrection as opposed to an extension of that trend? - From this point on, if by some miracle I still own a 742 put, I get to ride that put to 2.01 for a gain of $59 at least, so my second worst case scenario has me losing [(1.27 - 1.93 + (2.01 - 1.42)], a net loss of $7 on what is probably one of the most fakeout-ridden chops I've ever seen. I do have to watch that put eat a fair bit of extrinsic decay, as price eventually recovers to the middle VWAP band at around 12:15, pegging our put at a higher low of .96 or so, if I panic sell here then my loss is $112, otherwise, if I'm stubborn enough and I presume that because price can't make higher highs, the overall sentiment still pught to be bearish at this point, then it's only up and away from here, and maybe, just *maybe*, I get to chase her up all the way to 3.85ish or even 4.10ish, depending on if I keep my SL conservative enough to see that gain, and lo and behold, we manage to follow the trend into the green when all is said and done.

I should add that I'd have to be willing to see my spread hit 1.94/.74 for a net loss of $66 at 9:50ET even before we arrive here, and we haven't even seen the *real* move yet.) - Since my overall sentiment for 6/16 was bullish, there is indeed actually a world where I sell the put side for a loss here at what eventually becomes the high for the day, and then eat shit even harder on the call on the way down, but there definitely is NOT a world where I watch that call expire worthless, so I think my first worst case scenario is that I completely misjudge price action entirely, and I go home feeling dejected and cheated. - Otherwise, maybe given that the call side was stopped out at BE or we realized some profit, maybe alternatively I am left with just the put, which we have to watch hit a low of .70 at 10:11 before things finally start to heat up. I must admit, the endurance to do such a thing, is just a *little* bit unrealistic. - But, maybe I turned of the chart or something, maybe I just hit the prayge button, maybe I saw that price doesn't seem to wanna push past 755, and flipped sentiment (I did eventually flip sentiment today, but too little too late. If I am to see the gain we're about to ride out, I'd have to be the most stubborn trader on the planet, but nonetheless, from here on out its only downward from here. - 10:10ET to most would look like a classic liquidity grab, if I wasn't out of the call at any point prior, I'm 100% taking whatever I can get here, so maybe I'm out of the call at 1.61 for an initial loss of $33 that we hope to recoup. - A miracle happens at 10:20, as price finally dips below support and begins to break out from the opening range. This is where the ideal entry would've been, but I'm no genie, I have no way of knowing that price would chop for an hour and a half before making its move. There's plenty of days where this doesn't happen, 6/12 for example saw a gap downward, followed by a sizeable swing downward, followed by a FULL recorrection *and* a swing to the UPSIDE, even. I think that was the inspiration for this strategy, in fact. Suppose I average my call down at the bottom on 6/12, how reasonable is it that at 9:50ET on 6/12, I hope for a recorrection as opposed to an extension of that trend? - From this point on, if by some miracle I still own a 742 put, I get to ride that put to 2.01 for a gain of $59 at least, so my second worst case scenario has me losing [(1.27 - 1.93 + (2.01 - 1.42)], a net loss of $7 on what is probably one of the most fakeout-ridden chops I've ever seen. I do have to watch that put eat a fair bit of extrinsic decay, as price eventually recovers to the middle VWAP band at around 12:15, pegging our put at a higher low of .96 or so, if I panic sell here then my loss is $112, otherwise, if I'm stubborn enough and I presume that because price can't make higher highs, the overall sentiment still pught to be bearish at this point, then it's only up and away from here, and maybe, just *maybe*, I get to chase her up all the way to 3.85ish or even 4.10ish, depending on if I keep my SL conservative enough to see that gain, and lo and behold, we manage to follow the trend into the green when all is said and done.

Ok, here we go. I sure hope repainting in this case is a non-issue since the strategy is direction-neutral. I am perhaps favored by the fact that SPY followed a general trend both today and yesterday, however. Today would be a good example on the put side. Prior to the information I now have, a straddle at open would've played out as follows: Today (6/16) on SPY: - I buy a 754 straddle immediately at market open for 1.93/1.42 (the high on the 1-minute, we're assuming worst case scenario wherever applicable.) I pay a total of $335 for the trade and we'll track my performance at various points of interest as the day progresses. - It is up for debate as to whether I would've sold the call side immediately about 2-3 minutes after open, scalping that contract at an exit of 2.12 or something in that area (let's say I immediately took that leg to zero-risk, at least).

Someone please tell me if I'm regarded. I'm thinking around 2 I get into a 0dte SPY strangle a few $ OTM in each direction. Rate decision is priced in but Warsh's speech could change things depending on what's in store for September. I'm just worried that we'll end the day flat.

Of course. That truly happened to me. The fact I even openly say it to people is crazy bc I was SO ashamed I did that. I literally could’ve just put that in SPY or shit even bonds, and probably have my retirement set. But instead I got greedy and March 25 with trumps tarriff tantrum, I panicked and broke every single rule I had for myself and had learned. I was devastated and depressed. Eventually I had to just accept what’s done is done. People have lost much more than that and recovered. Life is long. I’m grateful for the lesson. Now I know I need to protect my capital. Especially when another 0 comes along. All I had to do was take 100k and throw it in SPY and I would’ve been set. Next time, maybe just buy shares and hold. That’s all I do now and while I have A LOT of ground to make up, I know eventually I will make it all back and more.

ASTS calls, RKLB/CRWV shares or calls, SPY calls slightly OTM expiring next week

Just so - profit is profit, no sense looking back, you didn't make a mistake. Holding too long is absolutely a mistake, on the other hand. My worst mistake so far in my little adventure was stacking QQQ and SPY calls and watching them evaporate; another two from buying too early; both of which are rookie errors. Had a this Friday option for RY that was doing well until yesterday when it took a dip; had a good day today and I paperhanded right out with a 64% gain. Which I immediately rolled into another one for July 17, right ATM so it was costly but the stock is doing very well

I have ran 2k to 100k 3 times now betting like this and lost every time. Only takes 1 time for you to make a massive purchase at the very peak and it drops 50% before you even have time to set a stop loss and you end up chasing just for it to be a -3% day in SPY. You will 100% lose all this money unless you withdraw
