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?
… bro after three years you’re back where you started hahahah should have just dumped it into SPY or QQQ.
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

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.
What happens first - SPY 800 or QQQ 800?

Got the last of my money on 765p for Monday expiry. I was hoping to sell it if SPY dipped at the end today but it was a nothing burger. I hate this market.

So who thinkg SPY dump over the weekend and we are red on monday?
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
I need to know the correlation metric between SPY and poop related posts in the sub
SPY and QQQ curling up, but all my stocks are dumping
#SPY moves less than most Americans on an average day LMAO🤌⛹️
Little tiny peepee candle on SPY.
SPY Monday PUTs lets go
#SPY barely moves 0.05% between open and close on most days. They might as well close the markets at 9:35 am LMAO🤌⛹️
SPY went to 767 and you didn't sell your poots? :belt: :kek:
TSLA calls all days until today, puts today. SPY puts today.
Bet SPY drops 1% 5 minutes after close
5 hours later we have moved SPY 8 cents lmao
It’s actually crazy how flat SPY has been for the past 4 hours, totally organic price action 👍🏻🙄
Fr SPY has been in like a 30 cent range for hours
SPY? Maybe you get lucky with the close unless you need the $2
the established price has settled on 769... that is the perfect and most accurate price for SPY
Surely SPY will hit 773 for Power Hour right? Right...?
It’s a risk management thing, not some hidden exchange deadline they’re being cagey about, SPY can absolutely wreck you on a weekend gap if shares get assigned and the market moves against you Switching to SPX or XSP is the move if you want to trade right up to the bell, cash settlement means no shares changing hands so the broker doesn’t need to babysit your account at 3:58pm I used to fight this exact battle on Fidelity before I gave up and just started trading the index instead, way less headache
SPY just hangin' out at 769 because it likes it there. Otherwise, would be trading lower. Bulls should appreciate this fact.
Don’t try to convince them to move from no-risk assets into risk assets at age 64. If they should put even half of that $250k into SPY or some such and we have a large market correction, the consequences are very different for them than they would be for you.
Imagine seling people SPY calls today
I am 100% not Jaime Dimon Also please don't buy calls on SPY
Alright fk if I’m feeling generous. SPY POOTZ NOW FOR MONEY
Hello guys, I invented a Time Machine 25 years from today after making 12 figures on 0DTE SPY puts. I’m here to tell you that SPY will be back down to $300 by October 15th, 2043 The gold standard will be reintroduced.
Quick you idiots SPY POOOOOOOOOTZ
Mango and Iran love to stir shit up eod Fri. Buckle up USO CALLS AND SPY POOTZ GO NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW also you’re welcome. I’m feeling like being a nice guy today

Thought my chart was broken but nope! SPY hasn't moved lmao
SPY stuck in traffic. Its going to be late, down to the last 10 mins
If you’re reading this rn and ignore this you will feel like an idiot in an hour and a half. SPY POOOOOTZ NOW
Imaing SPY closes at 0.00% lmao

SPY is valued as a 5 digit number, technically speaking :smoking:
SPY is so pinned wtf
Hope you are selling everything because Monday will be Black Monday. SPY -20% tomorrow Enjoy the rest of the day
Is anyone else’s broker having issues? My SPY chart is stuck.
SPY is worth exactly 769 today and then Monday we will decide if it's worth exactly 1% more or less for no particular reason
QQ 750 SPY 770 because I like round numbers
SPY being up only 0.65% is a little concerning.
RKLB lagging SPY so badly that it is free money
So what the fuck is happening when SPY suddenly has a seizure, swings 10-15% in seconds. Feels sketch af, but I don't know the mechanics causing it
SPY is a fuckin cockroach .. lets' go!!
