If it dips on Monday then yeah why not I’m only in SPY puts
Instructions unclear. Error. SPY 0DTE
you could definitely make $185 before losing 5k on SPY 0dte, if you're not dumb that is
$185 up beats losing ilthe 5k on 0dte SPY calls.
#Robinhood soon: Success! Your order to buy 10 SPY 800 call options filled at a price of $4.55 per contract. Would you like to add a 15% tip for your market maker? LMAO🤌
I don’t get why people play 0 DTE spy if you’re poor. And I mean that. I’m poor as fuck, I go with XSP, not only for the favorable tax treatment but also cause it’s cashed settled and Robinhood won’t sell your shit 30 minutes before the close. And you can never have pin risk if you buy/sell spreads since it’s all cash settled. On Friday my 3-wide spread ended up deep in the money and I just let them get assigned/exercised since there are no shares to assign or exercise it’s literally just cashing you out. Anyway, long story short, don’t trade SPY 0 DTEs, do XSP instead.
I don’t think there will be short squeeze but I do think SPY800 is very much still in play
If the market keep going up like this while the Bond Market is fucked up then I think there will be a big short squeeze to ATH. like SPY 800$. After that I think the markets will dump at least -10% before any chance to recover.
A long SPY call gains value when SPY rises, so the overnight move and opening sale explain the stated profit. What strike and expiration were the calls?
This sub is for gamblers lol. I would just stick to the index funds and keep throwing $100 at it every day. SPY VTI whatever
SPY 800 is imminent so please act accordingly.
I have my boring retirement in SPY/QQQ but do have a decent cash position too.
Is there a scenario where SPY opens -2%?
Why you all beings bers while I’m turning into a permabull. Think about it SPY is mainly hyperscalars. AI investment makes them money and if they spend too much they can always slow it down. Like sure, your AMDs, Lumentums, and neoscalars would be repriced but SPY not gonna crash
Just in time for indexes to eat shit as a result of the AI bubble pop. Those index funds are more than 40% AI bubble whether you choose VT, SPY or QQQ. But I'm with you in solidarity. 25% SPY, 25% VT, 25% SPYI, 10% TQQQ and 5% TLT for the rest of the year. Rest in money market. Will probably sell weekly 2% OTM calls on the SPY position. YOLO.

I did a bunch of study and trial for myself that has evolved over time. Tried many different ways. The way I do it now is 1. I only do them with SPY and QQQ primarily and IWM, DIA, GLD secondary when charts look stable. 2. 30 to 35 dte for higher premium 3. 15 deltas (I dont think about this much I just do) 4. Once position is taken I enter an exit. My exit was 55% profit (pay back 45% if credit received) 50% to me and 5% to cover commissions Currently since July 1 when I started doing this I am 85% success rate. As soon as I exit the position (depending on chart or if Friday wait for Monday) I re-enter position. Reset prices if you will and keep repeating. For most part I am only in the position for 11 to 12 days before exiting. As for a protection which I had to do with IWM and DIA this last week. I set an alert $5 away from shorts on DIA, IWM, GLD ($10 away from shorts on QQQ and SPY) and if breach I give it 1 day to correct or just exit. I generally lose about $100 to $200 on that position if that happens. Depends on amount risked per condor But upon re positioning I make back. As for strike distance for QQQ and SPY I use $20 from short strikes. IWM, DIA and GLD this I vary for increasing the premium but for most part $15 from short strike. I used to try to hold for entire credit but I found with IBKR if go too late it gets hard to exit and in some cases cannot exit both legs at all so I do this process. I do about 10 trades a month keeping my risk spread out amongst the 5 ETFs (when chart works) IWM and DIA arent great right now.

You can use any version of book value you want for your investment thesis on any time frame you want. If you don't like this stock at the current price, I hope you find one that you do enjoy investing in and will make you as wildly profitable as I believe this one will be. And yes, we can definitely agree that we must look beyond figures, especially when they are only showing 1/2 the acquisition's FY25 $18B revenues due to deal timing. It's not like Jacob's hasn't done this before or this is some sort of risky, short term gamble to string together a garbage barge of unprofitable, cash burning start-ups into an IPO because they need money. These companies have been around over 100+ years and are highly accretive. In a few months, QXO qualifies to move up 300 positions on the Fortune 500 and are a few years out from SPY inclusion qualification. As for goodwill and intangibles, here's a fun one to illustrate how that morphs over time: [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-we-paid-1b-premium-for-youtube/](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/google-we-paid-1b-premium-for-youtube/) Today YouTube would be worth hundreds of billions of dollars and just made $60B in revenues last year. Hope ALL that entertained you just a bit and wish you the best with your investments.
same around 2022 lost 170K, I have recovered 100K back with investments in SPY/NVDA since then, still 70K more to go to break eve lol 😞
Will my SPY $769 puts hit on Monday?
It’s easy to get lucky on 0DTE. One of my students turned 2k to over $150k within a week just using my analysis. Only use money you can afford to lose when trading 0DTE. It’s a life-changing instrument. Persistence will help. If you failed once, do it again over and over till you get a home run. This guy was just lucky on overnight trades. The opposite is possible 90%. 10/9 $780 calls that we got at .44 from $759 level on Thursday hit $1.71 yesterday. If $SPY didn’t gap up, it might be worthless. There’s luck on 0DTE. That’s why we trade it 5x a week
Yolo the whole 3.5M into SPY 0DTEs. Report the results
No, it’s just last year I heard a lot of buzz and crazy things about Spy so I was shooting for the stars on one trade and full ported 23k on 0dte calls of a 4$ increase turns out turn that same day trump announced a one day holiday for some random president and it rank SPY 10$ causing me to loose it haha. If I was successful I would’ve made 400k that day just was spurt of the moment type thing
Congrats bro, it's very stressing to trade 0DTEs and 1DTEs on SPY, QQQ, etc.. Time is against you

I think most investors have that point where they see their average return over the past 5 or 10 years, then look at SPY or QQQ and realize how much money they lost by picking stocks, or especially options.
Is Europe releasing oil and diesel bullish? Meaning are my SPY puts for Wednesday expiry cooked?

It will soon correct violently imo. The divergence between various sectors of the S & P 500 since March of this year has been shocking. For instance on March 30 shortly after the current warmongering adventure in the ME began the YTD performance of SPY was lackluster at best with most sectors under water. The standout sector at the time? ...utilities(XLU) with a whopping gain of 2.25% YTD. Nearly everything else was underwater. Since then...with the massive surge in bond yields XLK has surged 52% going from the worst performing sector to the best YTD, while utilities have cratered to -11%. I would urge those that wish to stay in equities to rotate out of tech and into real meat and potato businesses. Materials, utilities, health care, energy, etc...because what is coming is going to be brutal imo.
...and that I think perfectly sums up the danger with equities. People are entirely too complacent imo. Auto buys on SPY are creating a monster where the S & P 500 has effectively been transformed into nasdaq lite. In essence, due to market cap weighting, the S & P 500 has effectively been transformed into the S & P 7 ...or even the S & P 5. The vast majority of the broader market is being starved for investment while a few tech names suck all the air out of the room. Once can see this easily by simply comparing the SPY to the equally weighted index(RSP). Also rate sensitive sectors of the S & P are getting taken apart. Just have a look at XLU, XLF, and/or XLRE. That is utilities, financials, and real estate respectively. ...it's turning into a bloodbath even as the index continues higher as though there's not a care in the world.
People have been calling for a bubble burst since NVDA went up 30% a day back in early 2023. These same people will be complaining in 2030 too when SPY hits 1500
Do football predictions... take the points and sell when you're up, dont let it ride. Rinse and repeat. Then blow it all up on a 0dte SPY call.
Seeing too many regards calling for generational market crashes recently. SPY hitting 1000 next year
Im not sure if I understand the whole 1DTE/0DTE trading with SPY. Do people buy in the morning and just hold no matter what? How does the theta not kill any profits or momentum toward the end of the day, assuming the stock movement isnt tracking in the preferred direction for the final few hours? I have done 0DTE WITH SPY a handful of times with 1 contract and sometimes I catch a breeze and grab a quick $30. 10 contract would = $300. But Im still not seeing the scaling where people make thousands in a day. Does this strategy not work at all when there isn’t drastic action up or down? How long do people let losses ride out? I understand that it is actual gambling - im not looking to do this myself but I need to understand it better, there is something I am missing.
Bought intel after it fell with nana, swear I had average $20.5 or something, half of them bought at like $19.8.. Sold at about 50% profit at lost it all on SPY puts. Honestly for the dude posting, its really just about stopping. I was highly gambling addict for a long time in my early 20's, especially online poker that was really big for a while. Remember being 18, making $35k a year, losing a $16,000 poker pot holding AK, losing to a KQ on the river. Just delete, invest in a business you build instead, make that your bet Sold ar about $30,
I have $100k in “SPY” and “QQQ” PUTS on Monday. HEAVY PUTS. If you ask me, it’s going to be a crash like you’ve never seen before! It will be revolutionary! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!
Come on SPY don't quit!

I'm saying this is not the correct sub to post this in. That's less CAGR than SPY over the last 3 years. This is a gambling sub.
To be fair I trade while at work (and on RH no less because great app for that sort of thing). Might be tough to catch swings but hey, I’ll give it a whirl. Yes SPY moves kinda slow but sometimes I can’t catch a trade for a few minutes.
I’m confused on why you divide by strike instead of dividing by spot? The cost of funding the long physical position from the dealers perspective will be based on spot notional not strike notional? E.g. The dealer will have to buy 100 shares of SPY trading at 760 to hedge the calls they sold you. The cost of funding that long will be X% \* 760 and that cost will be passed through when the dealer is pricing the ITM call.
QQQ I haven’t played yet. Been cautiously learning with SPY. Might have to dabble, and yeah I know results may vary. See you in the casino Monday.
ARM for me, honestly. Bought a tiny position I can't justify on fundamentals because I like the IP moat and figured a small stake beats staring at the chart with regret for a decade (kind of how I feel keeping dubious piece activity on the board instead of simplifying, sometimes "I like it" wins over "the computer line says trade it off"). Costco's the one that gets me the most though, never once looked cheap and never seems to matter. fwiw I don't actually trade, just watch SPY and this stuff from the sidelines, so take the position-sizing talk with a grain of salt.
Stagflation's the kind of word that gets thrown around a lot but a 29k nonfarm print plus unemployment ticking up isn't nothing, that's a real growth problem even without the inflation half confirmed. Fwiw I have no idea how to read a single payroll miss against a rate cut/hike debate, feels like the kind of data point that means five different things depending which Fed official you ask. I just watch SPY move on this stuff and shrug, never been able to tell if a bad jobs number is bullish (more cuts coming) or bearish (economy's actually weak) until after the fact.
Once QQQ overtakes SPY.. you know things are cooked
Im not used to Mag 7 and SPY trading like a pump and dump. I like chop but this is earthquake chop. And when vix was higher we weren't nearly as chop. The year is broken.
Bers — give it up. All the negative news is priced in. But the positive news is not. Any drop in rates, oil, bonds, etc will see this fly. Peace deal? SPY 800+ instantly. Hyperscalars earnings end of this month at worst is flat due to rotation. I can’t think of one thing that would crash this market.
Imagine what SPY would be at right now if we didn't have tariffs and Iran war. :hmmm:
The one leap I pick was MCDonalds at 325 after seeing that solid 20 year chart. It dropped 88% on 2 years leap with more than a year left which is crazy. I got rid of that shit. I rather lose SPY ODTE properly not letting that shit bleed me slowly ever again.
SPY, FSAGX, and EDV will serve you right.
My financial strategy is essentially, "Surely America will not allow SPY to stay down.”
I miss pandemic market, when companies were like, "we have no guidance, no customers, and nobody knows what happens next quarter” and SPY was just gapping up
I traded SPY thinking that employment/jobs data was going to be much higher, triggering a sell off. Oh, and midterms next month. Shame on me for expecting the expected. Lost $1,200 on 2DTE puts. Wiped my gains last month.
Got me a 80% profit on SPY today. More than half of the losses I incurred on SPY yesterday and the day before. Got to make up that other half of losses. Fingers crossed.
😆. I literally made $1900 this morning from my 3 $766 calls and then sold those. Bought SPY puts and made $300 but eventually lost $400 😝
When I wake up, I check SPY before checking if my family is alive lmao
Economy coughing like a used 2004 Nissan Altima with 1 million miles on it and SPY about to hit ATH again :kek:

Bond yields = lethal dose SPY = Christa Pike
GLD options expired, now wait for SPY for the next 2 months
It feels like it's a crime for SPY to go down, but maybe I'm a retard for buying PUTs
Buys calls or puts at least 3 months out. Protect capital and then gamble on ODTEs on anything with a RSI below 30. Or on SPY or QQQ for fun. But only risk what you can afford to lose. This is worth a $500,000 subscription but it's free for you champ.
love how every six months someone drops a post that reminds you there’s an actual quant lurking in here between the zero-DTE yolo posts and the "should I exercise my ITM call a year early" questions the split between index-level and component-level gamma is the part that really messes with people who just glance at VIX and assume everything is one directional. you can feel it intraday when SPY drops 0.8% and AAPL barely twitches post-OpEx resets always look dramatic on a Monday snapshot, curious what your Wednesday numbers show once the new monthly hedging starts layering in
I have a NOK earnings call play, then just yolo'd SPY Monday Puts.

Was up $25k this morning on 315 $773 $SPY calls purchased at close yesterday. Decided to play golf at 9:50 and put limit sells on all for $1.15 with spotty coverage. High of day was $1.08. Just sold for $1. -$7k

SPY? Maybe you get lucky with the close unless you need the $2
