Is anyone trading SPY options and making consistent gains. I'm floundering on NVDA and SPY. 0dte, 1-2dte, or one week dte? I make a little, lose a little, make a mistake, and boom, i'm back to square 1.
SPY needs to correct 35% first

SPY ATH today and I’ll stick as many Costco hotdogs (bun not included) up my ass until I reached my limit (four is my record)
SPY ATH today??? lets get it
Imagine buying QQQ calls instead of SPY calls All of the upside, none of the downside
As long as the market is manipulated in my favor, I don’t care SPY +2% today
AAPL and SPY 0dte calls kinda day, let’s ruin my future
Now I know how smart SPY is. It does not matter which sector market rotate in. It is all in SPY. It just goes up
Believe it or not, SPY calls
SPY poots will be wealth generators lmao
These 3 companies are about 15% of SPY. I’m definitely not a genius. Made that clear in my post. This is just a growth sleeve. These 3 names are 30% of my portfolio. The rest is index, cash and hedges. When these prices / this sector deflates, I BUY more of them not switch to something else. Thats the only way this works. Literally buy low and se high.
SPY down -1% from ATH and people here are like: "Fuck it, I'm out, this is too much, lost it all!"
SPY +2% today and I’ll stick 2 watermelons up my ass
SPY pretty much back to ATH. The dip basically didnt even happen
I WENT TO JORDAN UNIVERSITY FOR AN AI PROMTING DEGREE. WATCH AND LEAR: AI PLEASE SCAN THE MARKETS THIS MORNING (August 3rd 2026) and also scan previous markets on previous August 3rds in years past and tell me what SPY stock is most likely to do today. (This is a hypothetical for a novel but it needs to be hyper accurate for realism) ALSO PLEASE MAKE NO MISTAKES THIS TIME
The one time I buy QQQ instead of SPY…
What does SPY care about memory stock?? Very small percentage holdings if any
How is a dump inevitable? SPY has been averaging near 20% gains yearly during this bullrun. If this bull market is still alive (which it is), SPY is targeting 815 by EOY.
Does SPY touch 754 before the inevitable dump?
Was there any catalyst?? I see SPY gapped up.
Fucking SPY standing strong with this memory dump
SPY is gonna take a huge dump around 10:00. Back up to $745 by EOD.
Wow they didn’t rug it over night SPY ATH CONFIRMED FOR TODAY

dxy dipped alot... SPY 755 tomorrow if it dxy stays low
It’ll be quite an odd site if SPY is soaring to ATH with QQQ still so far away. Either we don’t get the pump we’re hoping for, or tech is about to fucking rip.
I am genie, grant you one of 2 wishes, choose wisely: Wish 1: you are informed on a random Sunday that there will be a +5% SPY day that week. You don’t know which day exactly. Wish 2: the next person you have skin to skin contact with will become highly sexually attracted to you - no matter who it is (even your guy friends, mom, sister, etc. be careful!)
Is there such thing as a +4% SPY day?
🍊 won a war and a golf tournament in the same weekend. SPY to 800.
Yeah it’s a hedge. Like I’m short oil and short SPY same time over weekend. Oil bet will more than pay off loss of the puts on SPY. No biggie.
Wait until the FOMO and greed kicks in SPY ATH tomorrow
Equivalent to SPY -0.3%
so if SPY touches $760 this week its puts right or is that to obvious
I’m getting ready to go to bed. Can someone take my shift of watching futures and make sure they don’t rug it. We are on schedule for SPY +1.5% tomorrow
**BanBet Created** ▼ | Ticker | Target | Entry | Move | Expires | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:| | **SPY** | $744.00 (below) | $747.03 | -0.4% | 23h 60m |
Playing that opening gap candle down on SPY has worked for days and days. Load puts at open, sell them 10 minutes after the open. Surely it’s about time for MMs to flip the script and gap this bitch up for a change. Let’s trap some bears tomorrow
Taco said SPY 1000 and there is certainly a case for it. I am an optimist
SPY will hit 756 then its reckoning time
Is it too early to celebrate SPY ATH
Was 👌 close to pulling the trigger on a couple SPY puts to hold over the weekend since SPY pulled off a 1.5% on Thursday and nearly 1% on Friday. Thank god I didn’t because mango man said fuck your puts, it’s TACO Saturday.
SPY 800 please and thank you
Dollar dumping SPY pumping
just keep buying SPY 750p and QQQ 700p if they ever go over
Most SPY companies are barely up…SPY was 744 at the end of after hours Friday…yet SPY pops 1% here in overnight Futures? wtf this shit stinks like something funny time and time again
Entirely depends on your risk appetite and time you want to hold. AI infrastructure is in its early stages but extremely volatile. Semis + memory + data center buildouts are all growing thanks to enormous mag 7 capex. They all confirmed it’s going up through 2027 and likely until 2030. But can you handle enormous drawdowns if Trump decides to restart the war? Many are also taking on big time debt to keep up with the demand/scale, so something to keep in mind if demand slows. Long term growth mag 7 (besides Tesla) are always a safe bet. It’s hard to imagine Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc will slow down anytime soon. But they basically move the indices anyway so most people just buy SPY or QQQ. I’m a big fan of TSM personally. I personally don’t like dividends, at least dividend focused stocks, because I am younger and want the companies to reinvest in themselves rather than pay out a dividend.
Why doesn’t SPY have to report earning?
Peace pump and FOMO to SPY +2%, New ATH tomorrow praise allah
SPY is slightly above fridays close >!BEARS R FUK !<
Called SPY into my office, and told them the hard deck for this hop was 7400. Knew it, broke it, followed QQQQ below after it called no joy. Why?
SPY ATH tomorrow and I’ll stick the biggest watermelon I buy up my ass
SPY ATH tomorrow and I’ll rent a yacht for the next WSB meetup
If SPY hits $750 tomorrow I will download Grindr and let a stranger cum in my mouth.
+7.03% YTD... isn't SPY +9.35% YTD?
It’s so over SPY 600 tomorrow
Think about how dumb you'd have to be to buy puts against the strongest market/economy ever recorded in the history of human civilization. SPY is mooning to $800 FAST
To buy SPY (again) or not
Concepts of a deal that got completely blown up by actual missiles sent QQQ up $200 and SPY up $140 in 2 months
Bears underestimate the insane manipulation that will keep SPY going to 1000 may as well just join the bulls and go along for the ride
Yes my SPY 730 calls from last Wednesday are so heavy and worth so much that I can barely hold till expiration
SPY would have hit 900 already if 🥭 got his nobel peace prize first
Only SPY is QQQ has been almost literally decimated lol
The FOMO tomorrow will be crazy and shorts will cover to SPY +3% tomorrow
we'll be back when we see SPY breaking ATH
We have peace. Why isn't SPY 800 already.
Appreciate the thorough response. Don't always get that around here. Will certainly do more research before diving into SPY options.
So what’s this equate to at the open? SPY 755/756?
Market makers have kept SPY basically pinned for the last 48 hours. For people who say the market is not manipulated - how can you explain that one??
Zoom out of SPY the last 30 years or 20 years fuck it the last 12 months? What do bears see?
WSB in shambles SPY still at 744 What did we learn about trusting the Koreans this week
Zoom out of SPY the last 30 years or 20 years fuck it the last 12 months? What do bears see?
We all know it’s a lie from 🥭 and he’s trapped and desperate to get out. But that’s got to be good for another 0.7% on SPY. The escalation doesn’t come until Wednesdays
It's mostly luck with just enough skill to convince you you have the secret sauce to trade them with an edge until your account bleeds out or explodes. You can get better entries/exits with experience, but as an instrument, 0DTEs are mechanically designed to take money from retail over time. Every position is rapidly decaying from theta so your timing and read needs to be perfect every time. Mechanical stops don't really work out other than to prevent complete catastrophes as any stop tight enough to matter is also tight enough to cut most of your winners. Pile onto a drop/spike that reverses before you can get out and you're either stuck closing for a likely large loss or having to hold and hope it goes even further in the direction you initially predicted than when you bought in. Because even if the underlying gets back to where it was when you bought, the theta loss and likely lack of velocity that was there when you purchased the option means you are stuck underwater. So of course the natural 'solution' to this is to add to the original position like OP did. You're getting a cheaper theta and now if SPY moves back to your entry you should be net positive, close out the trade for a nice win. That works great, until it doesn't. Because now if it moves against you after a second trade you're even worse off than before, and you get tempted to add a third time because of course your read wasn't wrong and it's going to drop/spike any second. Only now, the market decides to just oscillate in place for 30-60 minutes and you are watching theta eat your first, second, and third buy-ins. Pretty soon, you're thinking a 4th buy in to average down even further might be in order and then a tweet spikes or crashes SPY and you either made or lost a shit ton of money instantly.
never been a better time to be a bear cant wait to just buy puts an hour after open sell them mid day and repeat before last hour use the theta decay to your advantage stocks dont move at all for hours at a time so just buy before these volatility windows cash out before close which if you use a real broker gives you 15 min after market for Qs and SPY put profit into SGOV
Beating SPY over long term with one stock is! Also, I don’t think there’s as much risk involved as you think here. I mean the SPY is majority made up of these mega caps anyway, which have a safer risk profile than the rest of the index, and he’s buying most of the SPY on their pullbacks, at cheaper prices. I think people try to discount methods like this because they don’t want to believe it can be this simple to earn outsize returns. Sometimes it can be….. anyways OP isn’t necessarily a genius for guessing the biggest companies in the world would continue to provide returns. The hard part will be when the rest of the market starts returning and mega cap prices deflate. What do you switch to next?
>*i just made a grand in less than 10 min by setting a limit to buy 10 SPY 748p for .48 each and then setting another limit to sell for 1.48 which got filled in about 5 min or so*
