Except SPY $700. That's forbidden apparently 😭

Disconn3cted

Lay offs? Pump Drone attacks? Pump Ayatollah is gay? Pump $200 oil? Pump SPY Nothing can stop us. This must be what it feels like to do coke.

SPY flat to down in real terms. Looks at AMZN, MSFT, META, all trading at historically low multiples while growing high single to double digits. Easy buys

afx_288

Keep in mind that's what my dad said not me. My personal strategy is blind calls on SPY.

Additional_Gur_7900

SPY to 600 by June then we begin our rally to 800.

On the 1 year chart it looks like BTC was on sale and SPY wasn’t

Unusual Whales' Periscope has the correct dealer positioning. Pretty sure SpotGamma is largely a naive model, meaning they make a broad assumption that customers selling calls to dealers and buy puts for protection. At which point, you might as well just use spyvsgme.com for free. Unusual Whales also has a helpful data plot of call and put premiums in $SPY, which you can then also change to see the overall premiums of the stocks contained in the ETF, or the market as a whole. I've found cycling through those 3 plus VIX options premiums have been very very useful in combination with Periscope. The net premiums can give you an overall bullish or bearish slant, see when premiums fall or are nearing reversal, especially with VIX premiums, then use Periscope to help pick targets for entries and exits. The only other SPX options services I would consider adding to Unusual Whales with Periscope is OptionsDepth or VS3D, which give gradient maps on gamma and charm along with "boundaries" that help you visualize where major support/resistance can be as well as magnetic spots we could get drawn towards at the close. The visualizations are pretty slick, but, with enough time spent with the more raw data bars in Periscope, you can still do very, very well and still understand the overall picture.

Iwm is garbage, just focus on SPY or QQQ, even if the market rallies iwm may go down more (my experience) 

Eclectic_Beer_Tap

SPY gonna wipeout like a fat man on a minibike when it hits the 200d

Scalpaholic

Seriously prob calling itnway too early but I haven't focused on IWM too much. Is it always this volatile or just always this reliable to disappoint on a rally even more than the SPY or QQQ?

Can we get SPY $650 tmrw? I need to recover some lost gains

Thesaint7811

SPY back to 700 tmrw

PMCCs or find stocks you can afford. They might do better than SPY anyway. You can also sell them out 12 months if you want.

#OPENAI ADULT MODE!? May finally put NVDA back to 200s and SPY over 700

LostandConfused2024

After holding onto my SPY 666 calls, regretting every minute of my decision-making yet somehow being blessed to cash out today with some profit, I am done with options. Very happy because I’ve made 23k in gains from profits so far, but I feel as if my lucky streak is at an end

The_Alan_Greenspan

Only reason to buy and hold SPY over an index fund is if you want to sell calls against your shares, and 50K doesn’t cut it. That said, the expense ratio is outweighed by the divvy, but not by much. If you want to buy the index there are numerous options. All the big houses have one and you may get a lower expense ratio if you buy the SnP fund managed by your broker. Not sure if it makes a difference for margin limit SPY vs say SWPPX, haven’t looked in a while. Probably not.

tdogger88

The bad news was baked in, market sees the risk contained and is rallying from a deeply priced in market. Remember, SPY has been flat since September 2025 despite two cycles of strong earnings and going into rate cuts. The market wants to start running again, you can see it, so it’s starting to ignore bad news that it sees as “temporary”

Hamzehaq7

man, that’s awesome you caught the bounce!! SPY is such a rollercoaster, but those calls were clutch. the anxiety must’ve been real, but at least you managed to end the day in a better spot. META can be a beast sometimes, but hey, it’s all part of the game, right? what’s your plan for tomorrow? more SPY or sticking with something else?

Fun_Highway_8733

Being a retard because I bought 50k in SPY stock over the past 4 months without knowing what an expense ratio is But every I bought at still has a lower price than current SPY, so I can sell it tomorrow for tax loss harvesting and put it in something with a better expense ratio. So uhhh....I'm retarded but, not overly? Someone poke some holes into this.

RockwelInternational

I love seeing regards like OP using SPY instead of SPX. Helps fund the government for the rest of us, lol

BDObadguy

SPY would be 1k by now except it has priced in five future wars, most of which we don't know about yet.

RealPrinceZuko

I really need to start selling SPY 0DTE options the day before a FOMC. Tomorrow will be boring AF

EKUSUCALIBA

Aren’t there literally covered call on SPY etfs?

ExoticCod7658

Were you just securing profits and re-entering? I don’t understand this position 🧐. So you wanted to sell SPY (to lock in profits?) at $635? And then buy SPY (because you think SPY will keep going up?) at $636? Otherwise why u do dis? 🤷🏻‍♂️

USSZim

No, if you trade more than 10 SPY contracts, you should just use SPX

hv876

Congratulations on making FOMC a non-event of the year. Are you happy now? We could be money printing our way to SPY 800, instead we are memeing our way through Strait of Hormuz.

nokarmawhore

I'm guessing because SPY options are more liquid and the spread is tighter. 1 cent difference over 5 cents on spx.

pate0018

How did you do this? The swings on SPY weren't that big today..?

Old-Commission2782

Corn ripping? SPY uppies tomorrow?

SKJ_2012

Maybe someone can help me with this, but exactly when is the best time to buy calls? At market open or market close? Also any others I should look at besides SPY? I usually just do SPY calls but I can never time it right, always end up breaking even or losing it seems. I usually do 0Dte

Young-faithful

They need SPY back at ATH so that Melon and Saltman can offload their bags

Menu-Quirky

No stay invested in SPY and QQQ

LongroddMcHugendong

Read the charts fellow retards, for they hold the secret knowledge. SPY in a classic bear flag. All in $UCO. Look at that monthly oil chart, it’s… beautiful.

Cleanremyrem

Let's hear the actual 0 DTE SPY plays tomorrow please and thank you I'm ready to get gaped

drew-gen-x

This has pretty much what has played out since 2022. The freezing of Russian assets held abroad at the start of the Ukraine & Russia War under Biden Adm and the Trump Tariffs in 2025 got the world too reconsider US Treasuries & stocks as safe havens. What many fail to realize b/c Americans are so USA centric is that from the bottom in the S&P 500 in April 2025, world stocks ex-US and Gold have vastly outperformed the $SPY. Trump bombing Iran and the start of the Iran War was another black swan event and all the market dollar shorts started to get unwound. Crude oil is priced in USD, so a 40% higher crude oil price requires a 40% increase in USD to buy the same amount of crude oil. This is NOT IMHO a rush by the world back into the USD as a safe haven asset. Foreign countries have started the cycle of expatriating their foreign assets from the US back home to invest in their home economies abroad over the 4 years and I would imagine this latest US vs Iran war will speed up that process. That doesn't mean that there will be NO foreign investment into the US. But that gold rush of foreign cash into US tech stocks regardless of valuations since 2012 is likely over.

CANT_MILK_THOSE

SPY 700

option-trader

I haven't tracked SPY over the past month, but the QQQ has been hugging $600 since late Feb. QQQ hits $590-$593, and it's a buy back to $600-$605. If the QQQ hits $615, then short it back down to $600. It has worked for about 3 weeks now.

DefiantDelta

every time a bul says "SPY 700" a drone drops a bomb on a civilian complex. think about that before you jinx it bul

Hwangoutpltr

The market has been _______________ since the introduction of SPY 0dte

thegr8lexander

No it’s not; XSP and SPY are the same size…. SPY does not mean SPX. SPY means the SPDR S&P 500 ETF

YYqs0C6oFH

Buying x number of SPX contracts into a 100k volume market is easier than buying 10x number of SPY contracts into a 700k volume market since your purchase makes up a smaller percent of the overall volume.

shekurika

its 9am, SpY is at 680. you buy 682 calls. an hour later, SPY is at 683.5, so you sell these calls (for a profit, SPY moved fast in the right direction so theyre worth more than when you bought them.) You now buy SPY 680p, an hour later SPY is at 679 and you sell them for a profit. the calls you had earlier lost a lot of value, but you dont care as theyre not yours anymore, you sold them.

Lord_dokodo

This guy is definitely an insider who tf is putting 1.3m on SPY 0DTEs unless you're a billionaire where this trade is like a penny to them

Yeah except those far more important factors are already starting to favor non US investment. Compare VXUS to SPY or VTI over the last year. This takes away yet another advantage US markets have, other than stable, sane leadership and soft power which are both gone too.

of course Iran makes it a lotto rn but if everything stays the same (no news breaks), SPY will want to retest resistance soon after it sold off hard at the end of last week.

Valkorion335786

This is bullish for SPY

Basis_404_

Wow those bulls rallied us all the way up to $20 under where SPY was a month ago

strombollimaker545

SPY just hates 670 doesnt it

YYqs0C6oFH

1 SPX contract = 10 SPY contracts. So your own example shows SPX has more liquidity than the corresponding SPY strike.

Pashlit

I'm dumb. I just don't understand how a 669 March 16 cal is making 237k when SPY is currently 669.

Bam2458

Thank god a stable genius predicted 9/11 so they were able to stop it before it happened. We should all feel so blessed rn. SPY 700.

nrubhsa

Its 1/10 the size of SPY. And you can just hold 10 shares or SPY to be covered… even if the brokerage doesn’t connect these as a “covered call”

postachioo

Wen green dildos on SPY?

orsomeshitidk

Crazy that if we were actually going off historical valuations SPY should be like high $400s lmao.

TheMostAverageDude

Are my SPY credit spreads fucked tomorrow? Yes.

Captain_Lameson

Lost 300$ today. I need to stop doing SPY 0DTEs in such a choppy market

Remember when SPY went up each month that was crazy

No_Mercy_4_Potatoes

I was kinda tempted to buy puts. But SPY didn't go high enough.

Diamondhands4dagainz

NBIS MU SNDK will lead SPY to 700 EOW

SlartibartfastMcGee

Why not use SXSW instead of SPY? There’s a tax advantage and you can listen to tons of great bands on the main stage.

BFLO-Retail

If you follow OP long term all he does is YOLO SPY over and over. He is the ultimate example of survivorship bias.

Independent-Cress382

SPY $500 puts? Did you think Trump was gonna accidentally nuke Europe?

Stercules25

Tomorrow maybe? Which is where SPY will hit 640 and I will lose on both ends lol

retard_trader

Okay, no bullshit no sarcasm. Someone explain to me why the market hit a "war's over" lick on us today. Commodities tanked, oil, fert, metals. SPY pumps almost 1.5% intraday high. Somebody make this shit make fucking sense before I lose more money on puts. 

luzzi5luvmywatches

What time did you close and how did you sell so fast. I only had 3 m I nhtes I ended up down Money on NVDA because I had to sell my 3 SPY 0DTE calls and NVDA was up 3500 for me but by the time I put in all my orders It was down.

Reyleighs

10 for 10 on SPY this month. Course coming soon..

Broad-Belt-5888

It was in 2022 with SPY, Broadcom and I forget what is now

qtac

It’s less liquid and you need 10x more capital to trade it than SPY. And its options only (you can’t buy shares of an index; that’s why SPY exists).

AnotherScoutTrooper

A fifth of the world’s oil supply disappeared overnight and SPY only dropped just under 4%

NotMe357

Are you talking about SPY change something to let SpaceX join them right after IPO?

ebitdasga

So is SPY just inverse oil now? I feel like nothing really happened today other than my semis got drilled

AlmightyCheesusCrust

I wonder how low SPY would go if China and Russia declares war on the US. I’m thinking 400-450.

NightWalkThrowAway

Insane trade. At no point did SPY look bullish today.

Grouchy_Spare1850

a lot of people mention that, but let me ask you, does anyone take into account the volume to effectively trade that size ( 1000 or bigger ) SPX Mar 2026 6700.000 (SPXW260316C06700000) traded 114,219 contracts SPY Mar 2026 670.000 call (SPY260316C00670000) traded 736,615 contracts So in exchange for liquidity, this trader can get size done that feels correct for his/her psychology profile. I have a complete list that I update daily, on what average sizes I can fill at the ask and bid without moving the market depending on the VIX. Some markets can only absorb $450,000 - $650,000 ( spy ) consistently, and lot's of markets are around $125K to $350K. I don't trade tesla but I have seen that they can get really really large fills daily.

Who_is_Your_Zaddy

670 is to SPY like the strait of Hormoose is to US ships.

splitstar2004

Spy gains are taxed at the short term cap gains rate Spx gains gets to be split 60/40 60% of the gains get taxed at the long term holdings rate and 40% are taxed at the short term rate. Effectively making the same exact profit you would have had form SPY cheaper

qtac

SPX option gains are taxed 60/40 long-term/short-term regardless of the duration held. SPX also requires 10x less contracts (SPX:SPY is 1:10), so it would have been like $1k commission instead of $9k. So actually probably closer to $60-80k that OP would have saved just by trading SPX on this trade.

xbitxfatxstonkx

I need SPY 700 for profit. Bought at the top. Sigh.
