Not sure about memory tbh, I only trade SPY. Usually when VIX spikes +10% there’s a relief rally on SPY the days following so MU might bounce too
The comparison breaks because you are matching notional but not proportional width. SPX near 7,600 with a 5 point long wing is a spread that sits about 0.07 percent of underlying wide. SPY near 760 with a 1 point wing is about 0.13 percent wide, so your long leg is proportionally twice as far out. The wider proportional spread on SPY buys back more extrinsic with the long, which is exactly why it nets less credit for the same short delta. Normalize on credit divided by width instead of raw credit and most of the gap closes. What is left is real but it is not free: it is compensation for SPX being cash settled with no early assignment and no pin risk, plus the 1256 tax treatment. Same short delta does not mean same risk when the long strike is sitting at a different proportional distance.
>A 758/763 would carry a $500 max loss while a 7610/7660 carries a $5000 max loss. You could simply open a 7610/7615 with a $500 max loss and collect more premium than the spy example. One SPX 7610/7615 = 0.15, max loss = 500. One SPY 758/763 = 0.38, max loss = 500. SPY > SPX.

look at the weekly on anything, most of the market rolled over a month ago on stochastic and is about to roll on MACD. SPY is super close. next week will be important.

SPY monthly technical looks ugly. Bad earnings coming in and we see big gulp blood red
Your conversion is wrong. SPX is 10 times SPY. A 50 point wide SPX spread is equivalent to 10 5 point wide SPY spread. Using the July 24 calls to compare. SPY 758/763 call spread = 0.38. 10 x = 3.80. Delta of 758 is 0.096. SPX 7610/7660 call spread = 3.55. Delta of 7610 is 0.093. Proceeds of SPY > SPX.
If that happens the entire market and every index, especially SPY is fucked.
Would be great to see an actual example. Maybe the bid/ask spread is larger on the SPY contracts you are looking at? What you are describing sounds like a huge arbitrage opportunity, which is very unlikely to exist in such liquid tickers.
Thanks. My concern isn't Section 1256 treatment. I've held SPY continuously since 2006 as a long-term investment. I'm considering occasionally shorting ES only during regular market hours (9:30–4:00) and closing it before the close, while leaving my SPY position unchanged. Could that intraday hedge ever trigger the constructive sale rules (or tax straddle rules) and cause any of my unrealized SPY gains to become taxable, even though I never sold the SPY? "futures have traditionally not been considered substantionally identical to equity funds that track the same index." - Return-wise, they are quite similar no? except for the exp(-rt).
I usually just play SPY just cause it’s what I feel most comfortable with in terms of price action. I did play MU once tho and make a nice lil profit. Might do it again :)
Nice! But I trade mostly income trades on SPX and SPY. The strategies I trade are, by nature, not directional... so, I skip all the above analysis... I do not care when and why I need to open a trade. Both SPX Best strategy and SPY Ride trades are delivering good results. No need to guess where the market is headed. No need to be glued on the computer every day. They do not need so frequent adjustments. Just piece of mind and let Thete work for me!
Dumb comment. “People acting like geniuses because of what happened now”. No, you don’t need to be a genius, but as a trader you at least need to have situational awareness. Among other things that means: watching the indices (SPY/QQQ already started to chop in early June for example), watch the leading stocks, track sector rotation (plenty of other sectors that have been going up (healthcare, insurance, biotech) while high beta/tech has been getting crushed). The market gives feedback all the time. It’s important to know when to take the foot off the pedal and step back. You can’t always keep pressing hard, that’s how you blow up your account.
What’s the play for next week? Same thing SPY? Why most are upset about it is amazing. The casino is the casino. 🤷🏻♂️
Realistically like how high do you think SPY could've gone today if you weren't regarded lol

Get you a SPY call and get back in there champ.
SPY ATH next week, clock it.
Black Monday, boys?! Loaded my gun with a couple dozen 740 strike SPY puts. I seriously think they might print hard
being on this sub is what keeps me off the gambling. I look at SPY, say oh it will go up from here about Y% \*it goes up Y%\* then oh it will go down down x amount it goes down x amount. So I try it with an actual options and it kill my port. This sub keeps me grounded and I get to vicariously gamble.

Easy, just beat it one year and then put it all into SPY for the remaining 9 years.

What do you guys think about Jan 27 SPY 900 calls?
50% of qqq stocks in bear market correction and SPY 40% indexes are always last to fall big money right now just positioning so its not obvious while regards in here keep doing things like pump money into parabolic stocks already in clear downturn
I always do SPY for options 0dte, but long term, I only hold Rivian
Agreed. SPY should have been 500 months ago.
Fun fact: Last time SPY closed red in the month of July was 15 years ago.
Fun fact: SPY has not seen back to back down weeks in four months.
I used to make fun of SPY for being fake-diversified, plus letting CVNA back in. but at least they didn't let SpaceX in lol
SPY -2% from ath and yet the retarded bers in here claiming it’s already a bear market lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Nothing better than paying higher taxes on it by playing SPY over SPX. Well done, regard.
in the dot com bubble, it was very hard to accurately pick who would be around in 4 years and I think this will mirror that. When the likes of AOL and Yahoo pretty much fell off 90% or were bought out and ones that did not exist initial won some of those battles. My point is that, in the early stages of something like this, try and not get to tied to one stock or idea. The Motley Fool had a list of stocks that were foolproof and some are still around but none would have made you money like the SPY did.
$ISRG look last 6 quarters earnings, this earnings and revenue still all time high. AI-Algo swing stocks and index $SPY $QQQ big up and down, media feed some scam news, then Algo move big to stocks & index nowadays. https://preview.redd.it/qa9gnu5lnvdh1.png?width=755&format=png&auto=webp&s=aa3c7f47bd747a5a0fc673a344aa2870dc90ec0f
fucking quitting while i'm ahead, man. one week of options* after 12 years lurking and that's enough for me. *one good UPS call before diving into gambling on SPY 0dte
I sold my SPY puts $757 @$17 this morning. Was up almost $1100. I broke my rule and bought ASTS puts $65. Averaged down to $7.68. Lost all the gains. Hope next week my puts recover.
can one do long term macro trading with wsb regard level options plays? like going full regard on leveraged SPY puts the moment 🥭 fucks up something related to US trade networks and economic micro-structure
Remember early June when SPY bounced back and went up 30 in 3 days. Yea that’d be really cool next week if we could do that.

Make SPY great again
What’s the most overpriced stock currently? Don’t say SPY.
I had a similar day, averaging down 0DTE SPY calls. https://preview.redd.it/7q27pvka9vdh1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66895e3d49abd061184cb2e0d17a5953a9670457
People who think SPY reflects the ports movement here....have never leveraged or bought a single option
Wish it wasn't a Friday as there's a bunch of stuff starting to get into a tempting buy area, but between SPY looking horrifically weak all day and the increasing likelihood of boots on the ground based on these strike patterns, I'm going to play it on the safe side and probably regret it by triggering 90% of next week's action to happen between 6-8 on Sunday night.
Honestly impressed how well SPY has held up compared to QQQ/Tech
Hope so. Got 50 740p for Monday. Had 300 740p today that I sold right at open and had a sick like 35k gain. Now I am only down 35k since June. I think shit intensifies over the weekend, Kospi sells off hard and drags SPY down a bit, and we open at 735
Ok, next paycheck goes into fomc SPY calls and Puts
tbh sub should ban saying "SPY" cuz if u cant afford 1 SPX u should stfu
Too many 0DTE SPY calls and puts. Said "fuck it, we ball" and it somehow worked out
Who do you think would be a good fit for CEO of SPY?
Ceasefire tweet coming Monday then SPY and QQQ to all time high by end of month
99% of gamblers quit right before they hit it big. You still have $383 left, that's plenty of leverage for a 0DTE SPY call. See you in August 🫡
Well Sir, I grinded and sweated all day for a solid $100 profit trading SPY options 🥴
!banbet SPY -6% 3 weeks
SPY should go lower, because hyperscalers are hellbent to vacuum money out of world markets and channel them all to Korea for ... what? mid-tier RAM chips that they could buy by shovels last year? SPY deserves to be punish, if their megacaps are acting stupid
I am going to assume we melt up 1-2% on qqq and .5-1% on SPY by Thursday next week. Good pullback this week, but this is not looking like a \~10% correction. Simply too much money with nowhere where else to go and 🥭 is going to pump things up once or twice next week
I will be opening a position in SPY once it hits my fair value of price of tree fiddy
Imagine how fast mango would get ousted from presidency if SPY dropped $100 in one day
Friendly reminder SPY is a whopping 2.2% away from ATH. QQQ is about 7% away from it. Where is all the loss porn? I wanna see the same people who made millions on SNDK lose it as it comes back down.
Why are you trading SPY instead of SPX?
SPY also got the explosive diarrhea

However I kept playing swings to recover and netted over 10k today lol Also I hit it good with SPY puts on opening (had puts from yesterday). I got 10k on NVDA for next friday calls and shorting aapl for next friday aswell
to me SPY looks like is going lower. I dont think selling is done. What we have seen from ER at least from semis is fade beats. I am being patient

It’s exciting, I made $20 on that 0DTE SPY today—ice cream time is on😂
SPY will rebound back near record high or close Monday or Tuesday. I will get the last laugh
Dawg. You're a few years from $80k in debt and saying you've solved your lifestyle creep problems. And you're still gambling without a nest egg. Luxury is retiring and getting out of the grind. Not flexing with a Lambo you can't afford on the internet. I think you should seriously seek gambling addiction help and just buy SPY.
Bro just dump it wtf is keeping SPY up?! 🤔
#They could keep pumping SPY alone for only so long while 90% of stocks are dying LMAO🤌
At least SPY is down more than my port for the first time all week. That makes me feel a little better. Fuck the bogleheads.

Yup. I fully expect a SPY 760 by close. The way they can just shoot it up in seconds is insane. Bols rejoice!
