I meant 1 trillion for every 1.5% rise, so you are saying that because the SPY is up 8% YTD, the GDP will expand by 5 trillion so far? That is impossible
"The Iran War Crash" wasnt even a fucking 10% drop in SPY lmao.
The day after my SPY put expired.
Is it too much to ask for SPY to drop 10% 10 days in a row then stay at that price for 3 months while I buy as much as possible then rocket to 800 over the course of a week?
I have SPY VOO NVDA and may have SPCX, Am I diversified?
I guess I didn't buy long enough ago. I started buying again about a month ago. Up about 10%, then lost all those gains in the span of two days, a little negative now. Honestly considering just selling everything that isn't an ETF/SPY/VOO for the peace of mind, then buying the dip back into ETFs. Im just scared of microconductor and AI stocks continuing to take large dives.
If you sell SPY or VOO to buy spcx you might be a regard, jus sayin
Shameless plug, but if you want to read more about 0DTE SPY I have some interesting things in my new book. [0DTE: Regimes, Volatility, and Execution: A Practical Operating System for Intraday Index Options Trading](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3R5YFBD/)
SPY dropped 2.6% on friday why are you bringing up a 5% drop?
Time for orange man to tweet "BUY NOW". SPY +5% in 2 days.
As much as I want SPY to move up huge on Monday, ( I got calls but no hope cause too far out the money) I believe the dump will continue
I highly recommend the [Financial Order of Operations](https://moneyguy.com/guide/foo/#7-hyperaccumulation) for not just investing but general financial literacy and priority. It’s great if you are investing aggressively and getting a 10% return, it’s bad if you don’t first pay off your credit card debt with 25% interest so you’re losing more money than you’re growing, or you didn’t first build an emergency fund to handle the little surprise expenses life throws you and you have to pull money out of your investments. In terms of what way to actually invest, I highly recommend the [3 fund portfolio](https://www.optimizedportfolio.com/bogleheads-3-fund-portfolio/?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=10886055113&gbraid=0AAAAACPYnC6gFzivnN-AeQgEAzjrRXjev&gclid=Cj0KCQjwio_RBhDMARIsAJPveNPg67JDp3ImRsx7BkqroO_gAI2xRVosB4Epp3u9It3_7MtQ6_RMS8caApl5EALw_wcB) for maximum simplicity, maximum success, and minimum worry/effort. Buy low-cost broad market index funds, get one each for US stock market + international stock market + bond market, ideal funds are VTI/VOO/SPY + VXUS + BND/GOVT/VGIT or even simpler VT (total world so US and international together) + bonds. When you’re young you want way more stock index funds than bond index funds in your portfolio, for reference I am a 95/5 ratio of stocks to bonds and 29yo, and I’d be 100% stock if not for my 401k target date fund having a small portion of bonds anyway. When you are near retirement, about 10-15 years away, you adjust your ratio more to bonds. It’s preference what that retirement ratio will be, I plan to go to about 75/25 or maybe 80/20 depending on how I feel my risk tolerance is in my old age. Hope that all helps!
MM testing the new IPO on QQQ first and then in 2027 - into SPY. Once it enter SPY - that where they will siphon every 401k retirement $ to fund those companies cash flow.
If the market dumped 3% on Friday with oil at $90, how bad is it going to be when oil gets back up to a more realistic $108 (it’s price before the “peace deal hours away” bullshit)? And dont tell me “the market doesn’t care” because you can see the exact 1 minute candles that SPY pumps when that kind news hits and oil drops lol
I still do think we will see SPY 1000 within our lifetime. (QQQ probably a little further ahead). Take a look - since 2000 (where most WSB are born age wise) - it starts at 1,300. 26 years later - 7,300. If this trend continue, within 13 years we will be cheering reaching 10,000. PS: Just dont look at inflation though..
Take his phone. SPY 900 in 48 hours.
Dumping monday before rebounding from some stupid bs 🥭 will pull tuesday or from RSI. If not it'll pump on the 22nd when it enters SPY500

$0 commission on SPY options traded through TradeAutomationToolbox. So I only pay the <$0.04 fee per contract.
Yesterday was is it. It's over. The last 32 years was just a massive bull trap. Starting from today, the next multiple decades will be straight down. Your grandkids will see SPY back in double digits. Bull is fuck.
I only trade Nvda, SPY, and Dutch Bros
How does this make sense? SPX is 10x SPY so the number of contracts is 10x lower for the same notional value. How are you trading fewer SPY contracts vs SPX?
"averaging down 0dte SPY calls."
"I dug a hole too deep averaging down 0dte SPY calls."
You should probably just invest in SPY or something and get rich the stable way. You still have more money than 99% of people on earth. Stop gambling, get clean, put the 77k in a low risk etf or something else low risk, keep working and keep investing monthly, you will earn it all back. Use this to learn from it and as a reality check, if you start now at 35 you will do well.
The bad news is my portfolio took a nosedive and looks like the "to the moon" meme. The good news is my calls don't expire for another two weeks. So SPY has two weeks to gain 20%. Should be fine 🤡
Your point doesn't stand if SpaceX will go up 15x in 15 years unless you're saying SPY will too

I’m not looking at my port until I hear SPY has gapped up like 5%.
"muh AI bubble" "muh rate hikes" "muh weekend Nasdaq" STFU. SPY in 4
The distinction between S&P and Nasdaq inclusion matters a lot more than people realize. QQQ is rules-based and automatic, SPY has a committee. That committee discretion is what creates the delay and also what prevents forced selling events
No one may ever buy a share of SPY again 😬
Cathie Woods is bullish on the market smh SPY 400 I guess smh
Been keeping [$SPY](https://aimytrade.io/ticker/spy?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=comment&utm_campaign=SmallStreetBets&utm_term=SPY&utm_content=template_1780727906265_u00e24) on my watchlist. The volatility around it is really the whole story.
0 DTE opsiyonlar, özellikle SPX gibi büyük endekslerde, genelde profesyonel traderların kullandığı, çok hassas zamanlama ve risk yönetimi gerektiren bir alan. Küçük bir hata bile büyük zararlara yol açabilir. SPY gibi daha likit ve takibi kolay ETF'ler, özellikle bu stratejiyi yeni uygulayanlar için, başlangıçta daha makul bir seçenek olabilir.
Lol yeah Once it's into normal trading bankroll numbers, getting at or above the 30 year moving average of 11.87% annually that $SPY already does would still be a win tbh lol
So I asked Claude (see my name) to analyze all days where SPY was down 2% or more, 19 years where this happened, I filtered further to see if there was a crazy runup before to imitate current market conditions, so take lowest price at least 20 trailing days away but not further than 60 days away, then see if there was a runup of at least 10% before a drop occurred. (Current run up is 47 days, and 20% rally) Out of 41 instances, these are the returns. So taking into consideration that we have a crazy AI momentum, and these percentages, I can confirm that its calls. |Horizon|Avg|Median|Win rate| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |1 Day|\+0.22%|\+0.33%|24/40 (60%)| |1 Week|\+0.47%|\+1.01%|23/40 (57%)| |1 Month|\+0.37%|\+1.26%|23/40 (57%)| |3 Month|\+6.83%|\+8.14%|32/40 (80%)|
15 years to double ? Might as well get SPY and have less exposure
Come on dude. Who's gonna buy my puts if WSB stops gambling. I need these regards. BTW, yesterday I couldn't trafen because I was coming back from holiday, otherwise I would have lost a shitton from selling puts on SPY. Sometimes you gotta be lucky, most times bears are fckd.
😂😂😂😂😂 literally LOL'd Step 1: Share this with any AI Chat bot and ask them about gaining 27% on your bankroll every trading day starting with $500 to see how much you finish with at EOY 2026 Step 2: Realize they're not going to recognize how much of a multiple that is from the entire global economy, let alone the just the US Stock Market or the underlying $SPY these 0dte Calls and Puts are based on, unless you mention that to them Step 3: Immediately remind yourself how inflated the seemingly likely AI Equity and Valuation Bubble is going to be Step 4: SELL SELL SELL ... Earn 27% ... Rinse and repeat ... Become a Quatrillionaire 😂😂
Generally speaking with a 38% win rate you/I'll have to limit commitments to about 30-55% of equity bankroll So that means the Google Sheet showing 27-28% every day would be unsustainable from a *bankroll* growth perspective every single trading day even if you had good trading days like a 3% collapse like today or a mostly straight slide up 0.5% like yesterday (which is also unrealistic) But then also, the "bankroll growth" gains early on with so little in play will be outsized at the start and eventually seem almost fractional once the bankroll actually gets above historical PDT clearing levels (that number was $25,000 from 2001 until 2 days ago when it dropped to $0 but the premise of that ballpark amount remains given overall SPY ATM Call/Put bid/ask sizes) Cuz you're rarely wanting to need to capture even as much as like 5% of open bids or asks on entry, on average So the amount of bankroll that can be traded on 0dtes in this way (Robinhood Retail which is Pay For Order Flow) continues to decline as the bankroll amount goes up Eventually it gets to a point where you're not making 10% average every trading day unless you're doing something wrong and taking on more risk than the return suggests you should. ...which is why everyone posts 98% bankroll losses on here (and on Yahoo! Finance back around 2001 when the US decides to institute PDT limitations) I might have explained that wrong. But long story short, this doesn't work unless it is at minimum keeping pace with the underlying ETF and that's it's 30 year moving average number since inception and therefore is the most conservative estimate that would be provided.
Kospi didn't really have anything to do with the Japan jobs report. Samsung and Hynix make up nearly half the market cap, and they specifically were dumping over fears that Chinese memory is going to flood the market and replace demand for their HBM (it won't, that fundamentally misunderstands what makes HBM different) and that hyperscalers are developing architectures that won't need as much HBM (much more plausible). Plus the Kospi is more volatile than a cocaine squirrel in regular markets. If that was all it was then semis and DRAM would have take a dump today but everything else would be fine. Overreaction to the jobs report is what caused a -2% SPY day.
With gambling issue, OP is not suitable for equity market. Even with SPY and VOO, you can still gamble away everything.
Nah the early Red were the 0dte SPY Calls and had to switch to afternoon 0dte SPY Puts to take the green pill lolol
remember SPY 420.69? i do and i was buying puts 💁
Shortest explanation points out that today the Strat said "No Go" but since it was Day 1, I figured I'd get some active tick to tick active day trading experience since I haven't done that since like 2007 at a CBOT/E tangent place If O10MH (opening 10 minute high) is eclipsed between 10-60 minutes of opening trade, buying 0dte $SPY Calls, typically ATM or +1+2ITM with about a 45% Trailing Stop for 60mins, 35 for 60-120, 25 for 120-180 and 15 for the rest of the day until Robinhood boots us out 30 mins prior to EOD There's a bit more to it than that and much more in terms of Entry and early false flag reversal signals. But that's a basic explanation of the general trend. It can kinda work in the inverse on down days but then it almost works better in the afternoon (like today) on the Puts than it does in the morning on the Calls. 11.87% annual growth is the true projection from the models, so we'll see. I figured the OP being a 💩 post was funnier tho lol
lmao this dude really said "I am the canary in coal mine" and dropped his whole CV like he's applying for job at NOAA 😂 Still gonna buy calls on railroad stocks tho because why not, worst case scenario I lose money on something that at least sounds cooler than my usual SPY puts 💀
If anything the rule going away should've let people easily swap to puts once we saw SPY going to the depths of hell.
I’m so sick people are like “$1T wiped from US market” and it’s a big deal. SPY is at 735. JFC, were you around during Covid? Like if you said SPY 735 June 2026 in 2019 pre-COVID, you would be considered retarded. Idk man, headlines are just fucking bullshit propaganda. Makes me upset fr.
Take a look at the SPY all time week chart and tell me how this isn't over over
0.01 billion dollars (on the SPY)
liquidation and risk adjusting ahead of this IPO onslaught ... the Q's got killed today... will be very interesting to see SPY and QQQ diverge
Um yes, I’d like 1 SPY put please
With market having a bloodbath, VOO -2.6% & Vgt -6%. Is your 75% port consists of SPY, bonds and the rest in modest risk stuffs like VGT?
Monday may be the greatest day in stock market history. BTC at 80k, SPY open at 770.
I just saw the final number on SPY. I tried to buy a put at 748 for 1.62 (the auto-filled number) but the limit got missed and I didn't chase it. The last trade was at 13.94. Whoopsie to me for not remembering to set it to market order, but I was tired.
16.62% 1-year return, with the caveat I had $1k of SPY I sold in March
I just started investing less than 2.5 years ago and RKLB is a 30+ bagger for me so far. It's tempting to try to do that again, but I'm also aware I'm very lucky and have been investing in bigger, safer stocks and ETFs the last several months. I still believe in the stock, but I invest for retirement and SPY/VOO are reliable picks I'll be choosing until then
Just wait. Being included in SPY June 22.
Wed exp $10 otm SPY/QQQ calls from Monday open.
Don’t worry SPY will jump two points on Monday for sure.
The “bloodbath” = one red day after 9 weeks of green 😂 SPY is back to where we were less than 3 weeks ago
Harry Potter and the 0DTE SPY Scalper *Expecto Loss Porn*
Will the Market Tide feature for SPY tell me reasonably in time if it is going to be a trend day or choppy day, so I can decide if I should play directional or mean reversion trades that day?
Higher chance for rate hike in USA and 99.99% chance of rate hike in Japan in 2 weeks. In other words there will be less "free" money to gambler....errr...I mean investing in the stock market in the future. So the market probably just try to priced-in the new "normal". After we found the bottom then we pump again. Iran war make the market go down like around -10% and today QQQ is down almost -5% and SPY -2.5%. I think MMs will dump more early next week, then use fake CPI to pump the market back up before SpaceX IPO.
I lost 50k in 2 days just holding SPY and Mag7 stocks wtf
Hmm looking at SPY chart this looks like Mar 27th play all again 🤔 dropped 657 to 631 on friday back to 655, following week ATH 660+ 🤔 let us repeat history.
Up 4%. Had great timing (and luck) scalping a SPY 0DTE call and shorted bitcoin.
I put an order in for 800 SPY $744p around 9am. Cost was $4k… Robinhood rejected the order — something about my recent deposit still not cleared. Would’ve been \~700k a few hours later. Weird thing is Robinhood let me trade multiple other 0DTE today.
Jobs report came in at 185k vs 150k expected, which was strong enough to rattle the rate-cut narrative. Nasdaq -4.80%, worst day in over a year. Semis led the sell-off — AMD -10.86%. SPY finished at $737 (-2.58%), which erased maybe 2-3 weeks of gains but this isn't a crash by any measure. CPI report Wednesday is the next catalyst. If you weren't planning to sell before Friday, Friday's prices shouldn't change the plan unless something fundamentally changed about the companies you own. (Not financial advice.)
Again...Copenhagen. Anyone have anything to share on how to be entertained in Copenhagen. Plz.💕 Also: SPY 630p (again, also) 🙄😬
You should buy VOO / SPY / QQQ every month and call it a day. Or better yet keep it treasury bonds. Actually keep it in CDs, or you may be better off keeping it in a bank account earning 0.1% interest
Anyone notice MCD has been the inverse of SPY YTD?
So today SPY fell, nosdaq fell, oil fell, metals fell... Do we have anything that grew today (except for my butthole of course)?
SPY +200% over the span of 5 years from here It will be beautiful
Why? I bought more MRVL during the day. They have a lot of momentum and held up well until entire market broke down midday. In addition it was rumoured they’d be added to SPY next Friday. Happened 1 week early. I closed positions with high debt exposure.
Wake me up when we trigger circuit breaker on SPY
Well, if we’re not at a support for SPY, it sounds like harder dip is possible. Otherwise i think we gonna get theta gaped.
No panicans tweet usually means a pump worthy news around the corner. BOLS only hope is that it gets released before Monday market open, else SPY is opening at 720
I get that sentiment. But only in hindsight you know when the big wars, the depression etc happened. And none of it happened in our lifetimes here. But it can happen tomorrow. So your little bit better return or the SPY of the last 30 years does not really matter that much. Protecting my portfolio for that is what I care about.
I was actually swinging shit all day! Started with TSLA puts then took profit and started swinging SPY and TSLA and it just snowballed
Yes, SPY is going to 500 LMAO
Don't worry, I'm sure he hedged his 500k margin call with 3 shares of $SPY and half a box of stale tendies.
Things like this is why I stopped trading. It took me a year to see that options was just gambling, very dangerous, and fully rigged against you. I now see them as nothing but lotto tickets for anybody that is not a bank or institutional investor that knows what they are doing and/or are using them for their more intended purpose. I have lost over $1k on options since last year, which for me was life-changing since I was pretty poor early last year. But after forgetting about "trading" (gambling), and working hard for over a year straight, I have now managed to go from only having $4k to my name to now having $33k, about $23k of which I have invested into SPY, and it is in profit by $1,300, it was +$2k but today's dip brought it down a bit. But in 20-30 years I should be a multimillionaire since I mean to invest about $20k+ a year. I may still do cheap and fun options lotto plays here and there, but I have come to the realization that for retail, it is basically impossible to be a successful trader, you can really only become wealthy on the market by investing in broad market index funds, but that is a truth that not a lot of people want to hear since they think that it is boring. But it is a sure path to wealth. You may be up $100k with options one year, down $50k the next, and then could lose it all the next year + another $100k. Whereas if you just keep DCAing into a broad market ETF for your working life you WILL come out on top and will not regret it. All options profits that you see screenshotted and posted are just blind luck gamble winnings, and what you do not see are the losses and if anybody is actually in total profit or just profit for that day, week, month or year. I doubt that many here are actually in a massive profit and even if they are it is all blind luck gambling winning, let's be real.
People were also calling me stupid for calling out a H&S a few days ago and look at that 4H on SPY. Just need a dead cat bounce to complete the right shoulder now lmao
The only time I could make huge money is when I go completely and ridiculously against the grain and against everybody 💯 The rest of the time only small change or big losses. Yesterday, I closed my 65 SPY puts 752s that were expiring today. You do the math because I can't, I get sick.
After deeper anal^ysis - today’s dump was extra fake and gay. Only 93.77M volume on SPY daily candle. 🤔
