Is SPY ever gonna sell the news again? There is no more recovery to be made. It’s at ATHs at an unsettling rate.
I see a SPY 0dte in there. regard. Nice try
Buy low-fee actively managed funds that have a profitability factor. Avantis (AVUS, AVEG, AVTM, ...) and Dimensional (DFUS, ...) are good. Avoid passively managed funds weighed on market cap like VOO, SPY, QQQ, etc.
This is just going to make 🥭 look more like an idiot if the terms are just worst. SPY 800 I guess
Are my Tuesday $751 SPY calls gonna print?
If the fake deal pumps are enough to get SPY close to 750, the actual deal will surely make it blow past
Now try to breakeven with what your port would’ve been had you just parked your cash in SPY for the last 6 years. That’s the true breakeven point.
All I know is I ain't touching QQQ for a hot minute. I am a SPY/VOO goblin until the Space X fast track into the NASDAQ shakes out.
2 weeks. I honestly think I just got lucky with what advice I followed in this sub. Combination of 🎮🛑 puts, SPY 0dte calls, made a lot of it on CSCO calls for earnings. Made a chunk on WYFI calls.
Oh by far lol but I'm outperforming SPY by like 150% YTD too coz it's a fuggin bull market
Hey curious if anyone has thoughts on how my 1DTE SPY puts will perform on Tuesday?
You ever click on the News section on this app? It's like reading the news headlines on Plague Inc. You'd think the entire world was going downhill and everything was collapsing. It's like no one realizes SPY is at 745
SPY 800. The prophecy was foretold.
It’s been awhile since we’ve seen a -2% day for SPY. Just saying……
SPY up 2% Tuesday on reports there's progress on a peace deal despite no agreement on any sticking issue.
Not even SPY, just any Mag 7 and he would have at least 300-1000% .
What were we trying to get again? I mean aside from a huge SPY rally...
What're we thinking SPY will do this week with the ceasefire?
Problem is capital you make very little so a guy with 5000$ can do like some high beta CSPs and CCs But to have 100 shares of SPY someone needs 70k now or whatever… easier once you’re a bigger fish. I do the wheel some and it’s hard without 100k plus without dabbling in shitcos
There won´t be a deal. SPY 700p
So, since we are so close to a deal, you're saying SPY 760c 5/29 is guaranteed? Got it. All in
You are giving yourself some pretty wide ranges when you say "held AT king". 746 on SPY is definitely not AT 735. It might be considered in the ballpark but not AT
So then sell your index funds. It will be funny 5 years from now when it’s at a $10 trillion valuation and SPY is up massively and you end up rage posting about how you sold your index funds.

Who else picked up $740 SPY puts 30 minutes before close Friday?
He showed live balance (the numbers were changing) in one of the videos. So that part was true. However, and I only realized this by reading these comments, his true risk/reward was not showing at all. He demonstrated a "challenge" account that he ran from $100K to $190K in several months. 70%+ of that $190K was in options - I presume in a combination of diagonals, condors, and the like. The rest was in cash. With that setup $50K/mo was quite possible but to achieve that he had to have $120-130K at risk constantly. And that is not the same risk as holding $120K of SPY. One outsized move and half or more of his account would be gone. But none of that risk assessment matters if he has 1000 subscribers bring $200K/mo. He can open a new "challenge" account every time something happens with the previous one and still be way ahead of the game. What is missing from his videos is his entire liquidity. If it's in a few millions, running a high risk strategy on $100K is not a big deal. His typical subscriber has a lot less and may subject themselves to a catastrophic loss simply try to copy his trades.
The point is **DEAL SIGNED** **SPY : +5%** **CRUDE: -40%**
consumer confidence just sank to a new low while inflation got worse SPY 800 C
It only shows the last trade but it's enough to draw a few conclusions. You shorted several naked OTM calls on SPY and closed them for pennies. That's a high probability trade and doing it on 500K account is not terribly risky. Thank you for sharing
During market correction, SPY is the king.
Iran deal closing rate went from 85.1% to 85.2% this translates to SPY ripping approximately 5% - Goldman Morgan Research
For the market itself like index based ETFs (QQQ, SPY), sure. But not necessarily true for individual stocks. Not all stocks go up. And even if they do, a lot of them can still underperform the market.
Never mind tech momentum stocks during a war. The SPY weights these tech heavy driving 75% of momentum. So you lost -15% by putting back into same type of stocks that you just lost. My case, it is centered around crude oil. I sold all my crude and cargo fleet stocks and refocus on crude and refining etfs not located in middle east. Knowing how much gasoline costs I expect huge earnings the next 2-3 qtrs.
Thanks — works across all tickers not just SPY and QQQ.
AFAIK SPY already said they're considering a similar rule change. But yeah, SPY isn't certain right now, my bad.
SPY is fine, they're not changing the rules to fast track this trash. NASDAQ100 is the problem.
Weekend gap + theta decay is the real risk here. If SPY gaps up 1% Monday those puts could get crushed pretty fast, especially being short dated.
8 out of 11 is honestly pretty solid consistency. GEX levels definitely seem useful for intraday context, especially on high liquidity names like SPY and QQQ.
Yeah that's exactly why I built mine — covers hundreds of stocks in real time not just SPY. gammapulse.pro if you want take a look.
**Monday evening: Close to a draft agreement for an MoU for further talks to end the war** SPY: +1% OIL: -5%
They should just reset SPY (and every index and stock to 0) every week until his "excursion" is over. We are just going up on random news and then drop on fridays anyway.
Solid — 8 of 11 is well above darts, and the AAPL/MSFT/AMZN "didn't pin exactly but stayed in range" is the part most writeups skip. Curious whether your hit rate splits cleanly across the king-magnitude buckets. Big absolute-GEX kings (SPY/QQQ where dealer hedging is biggest) should be more reliable pins than the meme-y single names. I started logging mine in [strikerate.ca](http://strikerate.ca) by underlying and the result was less flattering than I assumed — most of my "GEX edge" was really the index ETFs, not the single names. One Friday is signal but not a sample size, so the underlying-level split is where the actual edge call is.
100% of my trading is 0DTE options. Now SPY, though I started with SPX. Here are my verified trades and results: [https://kinfo.com/portfolio/74114/profit](https://kinfo.com/portfolio/74114/profit)
# the WSB PIGEON wrong then, SPY still up 🤡 🤡 🤡
The only way to truly avoid this is to sell any SPY and similar ETFs you may be holding. The root of the issue here isn't a $2-trillion IPO, as unprecedentedly dumb as that may be, that's just the symptom. The real issue is they made realistic price discovery impossible and are going to force SpaceX into ETFs to transfer wealth from people's 401ks into muskrat's pockets.
More like sell SPY right now to avoid getting exposed to this criminal conspiracy.
I use EMAs, levels, etc I keep it simple and I don't stay long in the trades. Sometime I use a bit the fibonacci levels, you can see the screenshot and explanation in a post I've made for week 3 trade. I've posted a comment below on staying long in a trade, this is where it is easy to lose the profits instead of growing consistently every day. I work full time and cannot watch the chart for hours. So, my strategy is to get in and out once I get my target profit, though I am greedy every trade. I trade on my phone. 1 DTE is great as you have less theta burn and the premium price is not too bad, although with the recent big moves of SPY, they have been double what there were a few months back. If you are going with 2 OTM, go with ITM or just 1 OTM, you will get your profits faster and more since your strategy is working, avoid staying long. Strike, it depends on the risk, time you are trading and with big ranges on SPY these days, account size, OTM is fine but you need to wait longer as long as you hit your profit target. * ORB is great but don't use it alone, use it with other indicators, too many use it standalone and start crying afterwards 🤣
generational bag holder opportunity, super glad it is automatically going into SPY
Puts are timed instruments. If spacex loses 30% after 3 years or stay flat for 3 years while SPY rallies, the premiums for your leaps will dig deep into your pockets. If you hold the view that a company is overrated and will long term underperform the rest of the market, but have no insight over the next 1-2 years, puts are a bad deal.
What's your entry and exit parameters to daytrade SPY? I usually go one or 2 strikes Out, and sometimes 1DTE. A $1 contract can sometimes run to 2 or even 4$ depending how strongly trending it is. If it's a day where spy is just grinding up slowly, The premium gain just goes up and up and you could Be holding from 10am until noon. I've read that ORB strategy works well on SPY. Curious what strategy You're using
It's mentioned in the post. There's exercise risk. Say I have a $100 account. I spend it buying OTM SPY options. The options goes ITM, and now I'm at risk of purchasing 100 shares of SPY that my account does not have buying power to carry. So the risk to the broker is the same as me trying to buy 100 shares of SPY on margin with that account.
No, it has beaten SPY by 7.3% (total, not annualized) over it’s lifetime thus far.
You can swing for the fences or keep hitting singles. I had SPY & QQQs during the same period & did just fine.
99% of people wont buy anyway. Heard it all a couple of months ago. "this it it", "this is the big one", "im waiting to buy lower". All those people got left in the dust since then. If you didnt buy at SPY $640, you arent gonna buy if we dip 20-30%.
People thinking that SPY will go to 700 will fall off their chairs when it goes to 800 So many companies with room to run....
I hope we get the SPY reset to sane levels next week. The sub got way too greedy, and we pumped too often on the same fake headline.
Except you have a thesis on SpaceX collapsing right? Ofc you need to pay for time value with your insurance. This is actually literally a protective put that is what options were used for before they turned into lotto tickets. It will mean you perform worse than SPY if SpaceX does not collapse because you have taken a directional view rather than trusting the index.
MMs take their cues from the options market. You just paid six figures to ensure SPY doesn't go down until 5/29. There are pretty much only two exceptions: more money pays for the opposite or an event (like a spontaneous rate hike, NOT just some military action) threatens to dry up their liquidity.
Unfortunately, because of the size of the offering, SpaceX will be added to the S&P 500 in six months to a year. So it's unavoidable to anyone holding SPY/VOO/FXAIX etc, for the long term.
Greed is a bitch. Also lost few hundred exactly the same way trading SPY last week.
or Marco Rubio pressed the red bottom...SPY -5%
🥭 on tuesday: they begged me not to attack, they are desperate to make a deal SPY up +5%
Can you choose which etf a stock buys? No. You can buy VOO or SPY, they're keeping the original rules for SpaceX. Tesla is already an SP500 co because they more than qualify. Keep in mind the Nasdaq only allocates based on the free float and Elon is only releasing 5 percent of spacex so even if you own QQQ the addition of spacex will be negligible. They're not buying 1 trillion worth of shares. As for Tesla, there's no real answer. You knew Tesla was a part of it when you bought it.
Glad to see you also made money on IWM and QQQ 😁 Very well, just check my profile and you will see the posts I started since last 4 weeks on the subreddit showing my trade with entry times. From Jan to Mar, the screenshot are burried in comments. IWM is very good at getting profits, but take your profit, I see when I try to get more than $20 per contract, it is stretching it. Yes it happens on some days to get $50+ per contract but trying to get it every day is not good. \- I am doing IWM as I re-started with a small cash account to grow it from $300 to $60,000 in 6 months and it fits my strategy and this year I switched to 0dte. I am working full time, so I don't have much time to watch the chart for hours. 1h or so is good nowadays. \- I'll probably switch back to QQQ/SPY when my account is bigger later. They are money generating for day trading. You can see in my video from 12 months ago (see my channel in my profile), I was making profits on SPY and I show also the broker statement. I don't have time to make videos, I'll make some in a month or so.
Theoretically if you do the math you can hold enough S&P 500 ETF, you can short out your exposure to SpaceX directly through their shares. That would probably be require you holding a lot of $VOO/$SPY, though. I haven’t done the math and I’m not sure what % makeup SpaceX would be yet of the index.
I mean, in some parts of South Asia, a life is worth less than a single SPY call... lol
# SPY to 1000, but also inflation to 10%.
Things are cyclical. If you jump into safety those will already be run up, and will dip below cost by the time SPY rallies. Your best bet is to pick a course and stick to it, continuing to buy. Easier said than done. It’s easier to panic sell and buy the top.
Maybe if americans stopped buying gas and instead bought SPY calls they wouldn't be complaining about being poor.
Gains like this are exactly why I have to stay away from SPY options right now. The FOMO is real, but Congrats on the win. What if on the other day it comes sliding down 😂
Everyone is bearish of the long weekend therefore SPY 1.5% Tuesday
Sir, SPY is certainly going up.
Welcome to the stock market, buddy pal. My recommendation is pick one stock and only focus on that stock. Move into options with 0DTE. Unless you know a lot about a particular industry. For example, a buddy of mine researched cancer treatments and went long on various companies assuming their medications would come on line. If you can’t commit to that, look at $SPY and just park your dinero. If you want to feel active, trade around the VWAP and watch $VIX for volatility. Only trade from 10:30-11:00 Eastern and 0DTE assuming calls or puts are trending in a certain direction. Most important, focus on one stock or ETF. Know it like the back of your hand. Never chase hype. Good luck!
Bro. Welcome to the stock market. If this shit worries you, buy and hold $SPY
Bears what are we buying when SPY goes down to 250 (where it deserves to be) and stays there for like a decade?
That was a pretty bad Friday 8pm closer for SPY.
lol SPY keep going down 2 minutes before close. People are really panicking
I’ve tried ETF’s like SPY before but I always had trouble with my entries, how do you decide between calls or puts?
I continue to advocate for people to spread risk out. Sure you can trade stocks and use options but when you eliminate using a margin of safety in conservative investments your at risk of losing everything. He could have put at least 10% of his gains in T Bills and lost 90% of the rest of his trades in options and still would have been better off than losing 100% of his money. My idea of safety of margin would something like holding 30% in SPY , 5% in T Bills , 5% in cash ,10% in Options and 35% in trading stocks,15% holding high paying dividends stocks That's called diversified risk. I'm not telling you to do those particular percentages. Figure out what is right for you.
8:05 PM ET is the war announcement… then before market open monday, he will announce war is going way better than expected, he is expecting Iran to negotiate a peace treaty very soon and SPY will go +1%
SPY was at .81% today to only end .16%…..what an absolute shit show… if you bought calls for Tuesday you are down 50% already 🤡🤡🤡
I do small 0dte SPX/SPY bets every once in a while but not often
do you just play stocks and no more SPY?
I should have just full ported NOK instead of buying the absolute bottom on SPY and averaging down 747/749
SPY ended up +0.22% What a shit show
SPY has been unrealistic lately tho. I started trading October 2025 and you can look at the chart from October, November, December. We traded around 670 - 685 or whatever for months
You could have just put that money in SPY a decade ago and forgot about it instead of this trading nonsense.
Don't invest in anything but SPY if your mental health doesn't allow you to hold on to your individual investments
