Other way around. Big banks affect XLF. But it's possible that the big banks are not all crossing delta neutral--yet.

This analysis is based on the option open interest. With that option open interest, it calculates portfolio-level greeks--notably Delta and Gamma. More importantly, once the portfolio level greeks are established, I can now simulate the change in greeks at different price points. From there, I can find the price levels where portfolio-level gamma is the highest, and the portfolio-level delta is close to 0. For some tickers, the underlying price reacts strongly off of delta neutral, gamma max, and sometimes both. It's the reaction off of these price levels in the past that is being used to drive trading signals. The plays and target entry prices given are calculated using a binomial option pricing model that reflect the expected size and duration of the reaction from gamma max or delta neutral. A lot of these plays are profitable by underlying moves in stock. The best plays benefit from the directional move as well as the increase in IV. # Notes * If the price has moved past the entry price, exercise caution. Someone knows something that I don't know. * Look to sell half your position on a double, and freeroll the rest. * I tend to risk up to 1% of my total capital on any trades I take. If my conviction is lower, I'll only allocate 0.5% or even 0.25% of my capital to the trade, and dollar cost average in. # FAQ * These plays are mostly puts. Are you a gay bear? * No. It so happens that the companies have had some recent run-up which implies they are overextended. These trades are primarily some form of mean-reversion either toward or away from an important price level. * Are you entering all these plays? * No. There have been a dearth of plays in the WSB morning talks, and so I opened up my bag of tools slightly wider to point out more plays with a probable edge to help lead apes to more gain porn. Go through this curated list of plays, pick the ones you like based on whatever additional analysis you use, and get that gain porn.
Pretty much you name it. PYPL, XLF, SAM, NFLX, CRM,AMD, BABA. Down but not out. Hopefully they’ll come back.
I’m betting on XLF to reach $45 too 😎 I grabbed 190 contracts for .03 a pop
XLF thinking it’ll be close to 40 by December 22. All others on QQQ are big gambles. I messed up big on funko. Bbby playing it both sides but I’m probably gonna lose on both sides
Opened a long/short play today. Went short on CACC and long XLF. I think CACC could be hit hard with auto loan issues. I need to do some more dd, so I've started my position as only 2% of my port. Will increase the position to 20% in stages if further dd supports. The CACC missed earnings by 38% last Monday and is only down 6% since. Short interest is about 13% of float. Option premium is way to expensive on this one for me, so using a less risky long/short strat. Will share dd if I come up with anything useful.
Tesla and XLF calls for cpi tomorrow. Easy money
Yaas Queen XLF is the canary in the coal mine
Two more random thoughts, as i have a knack for finding trash. \- FCX - Gold has been quietly basing and going higher, and inflation is not going anywhere since the FED is chicken shit and not raising rates fast enough. Perhaps copper on the rebound even though it goes against a slow global economy? \- JPM - this stock looks poised for a breakout but i have a big sneaky that its a trap. XLF while under performing the other indexes is still in an overbought state technically yet JPM has based out and not moved at all.
Data analysis suggests we're retarded. That's why I bought GME calls 1/20/23 50$ call BBBY 80$ call 1/20/23 XLF PUT 10/20/23 20$ BAC PuT 18$strike 10/20/23
#Ban Bet Won --- /u/ChiefMike27 (1W/0L) made a bet that XLF would go to 36.0 when it was 33.68 and it did, congrats you fuckin nerd.

XLF is down right now...
You playing the DOW? NASDAQ off .4. All fake and fat and hoping for another rip in the morning, but I went really short dated and really OTM on my entries today (TXN and XLF). Would really like to see them run tomorrow.
The big boner was at the mention of a larger hike being on the table if appropriate. Bought XLF calls right then but it was already starting to run.
VTI is my top holding, but like I said I have more "V" than any other letter. X = XLU, also have XLF. Only two holdings in letter X as it's not a common ticker start letter.
Tomorrow I will buy poots on XLF, TSLA, QQQ, SBUX, and DASH. Maybe some calls on UVXY
Major holdings are QQQ, XLV, XLF. This is sector rotation, Tech red, Healthcare & Financials holding up SPY
Yes but it's a small weighting in SPY compared to XLV & XLF. It doesn't move the market
XLV & XLF holding up SPY right now
XHB or VNQ puts. XLF puts will likely pay too if housing does turn abruptly.
I SEE XLF and all members jumps heavy BAC to $37 JPM can bit $130 C can hit $60
Look at that XLF recovers QQQ follows suit
XLF recovering bulls back to regular schedule
Watch out brothers XLF not looking good here
Multiple sectors head faking above downtrend lines? I wanna load up on XLF and XHB puts but am too much of a pussy
Goldman Sachs profits falls 47% Bank of America profit falls 32% JP Morgan has suspended buybacks. XLF TO THE MOON 🚀🚀🚀 Fucking such fake ass shit
Puts on XLF is like free money after today
Nice, I missed Citi last week. After JPM shut the bed I thought other banks would follow suit. Might pick up some XLF calls this week. Good luck!
I don't know about community favorites, but these are on my watchlist after fundamental due diligence and high IVR: HAL, PARA, XLE, MGM, XLF, SCHW, BAC. I missed the big move on the last three, didn't think their earnings would be so good last week.
Weird how the banks all rally on terrible guidance so that XLF can end the week right at max pain.
XLF closed even on the week banks gave predictably horrible ERs with really negative guidance. Burning the weekly options was more important than intraweek movement, and that’s all that mattered.
Ok... I am pretty much at YOLO levels against housing and XLF after Jul 29. Unfortunately, I'm sure I'll chicken out and sell some along the way. \#chickenshit
CITI just reported profit, should I dump my XLF puts?
My shitty intuition says those XLF and WFC are probably going to not make you any money.
So twat monkeys I hold XLF and WFC puts and TQQQ & UVXY calls… AM I FUK. Don’t wanna have to sell the old pooper again for dinner

XLF puts are so cheap, really easy to work with
I got XLF 8dte strangles 31c/30.5P at 1.37. If we go nowhere tomorrow, i might try to hold until Monday Early in the morning it seemed like more downside was priced into puts, but got more balanced by end of day.
Mostly just cashed out winners today at open. Not the day with the biggest gains, but it was definitely up there (~10% of total AUM). Sold YCS calls, SPY puts, and treasury puts. All i have left open are September BITI calls and some October SHY puts Opened some XLF 8 dte strangles for earnings. If they don't print tomorrow i might hold until Monday. Unfortunately, my 0dte strangles didn't fill so no fun for me tomorrow. Longer term, I'm not sure what the market is going to do. It seems like its trying to price in a recession and fed pivot in Q4, but who knows if that will actually happen. I'm still working on developing a model for determining if 1dte strangles during power hour will be profitable, but my vacation has ironically not given me much time for data entry and number crunching.
Tell me why i shouldnt short XLF tonight
Bidding on XLF strangles. A small 0dte position with a larger 8dte position.
I consistently forget that XLF (and it's ilk) is a thing
Just buy a week or two out or do XLF.
Not financial advice but XLF index
anyone long XLF? or more blood for financials?
Thinking XLF puts before eod.
I'm thinking of playing the XLF (Banking ETF) today
Had 30x 31p on $XLF 7/15 that I bought at .11 and sold at .19 Gonna be painful to see missing a 10bagger here at open lol
The XLF - SPY spread looks like death
OP here. I do want to take a side on this debate, however I’ll try to explain to you what I personally understand in relationship between Beta and risk would like to hear if you have any additional thoughts. To bring up an extreme case for illustration purposes, the way I understand risk of beta is that if the standard deviation is much higher then so is the risk of a prolonged recovery, if not a total wipeout. If I invest into consumer staples which generally have lower beta it’s unlikely they will experience a significant loss during a recession since the demand is always somewhat stable. On the hand, if I’m investing into financial services, which are highly sensitive to many economic and financial factors it’s very possible that a drawdown will be so massive that the recovery time will be prolonged, and therein lies the risk of time value of money, or just an investor wanting to have cash at the moment for any reason. Looking at XLF vs XLP isn’t that what we see? A massive drawdown in 2007 for financial sector but which a much more aggressive bounce after the bottom, whereas XLP had a smaller drawdown but also a much smaller gain. Interestingly, XLP has outperformed XLF since inception in 1998, but therein lies the whole point of beta, doesn’t it? We’re talking about probabilities. And this case the investor wasn’t rewarded for taking on larger risk, or maybe because the severity of 2007 recession and its effect on financial services so severe that recovery will take much longer and will only outperform on much larger time scaled, which once again ties in nicely with beta and risk
XLF puts are printing right now
I'm going with XLF. Short the whole sector.
nope but I'm playing IYG/XLF
Shorting XLF again. Probably holding overnight
My XLF puts are still green
Will be interesting if XLF can break 31 convincingly
Out of my XLF puts for a quick $300 profit. Decided against holding through earnings.
>Bank earnings are guaranteed shit show, any friend working in a bank shouldve told you their businesses in 2q went shit good thing im holding XLF puts...but im taking profits on qqq and aapl puts that I have...not sure what I wanna do with my IWM puts
Not sure if I should hold this XLF short or not. [https://ibb.co/VwBJCLy](https://ibb.co/VwBJCLy) Engulfing on today's candle, momentum says up but greater trend says down. :/
XLF is telling the real story
Check out the XLF options chain, its puts all the way down
Interesting taking considering all the Bullish flow on XLF and JPM last Thursday and Friday heading into this weeks JPM ER.
Short treasuries (SHY, IEF, IEI), long BITI, short yen (YCS). XLF long strangles at end of day of Thursday
How are banks going to do on Thurs/Fri? A ton of them report earnings I was thinking of playing the XLF
Bank results on Thursday Friday will take the whole sector down, puts on XLF
XLF sept puts are gonna be a 5x
oh man its gonna break one way soon. XLF looking straight up dripppppy which could cause spx to drop too. no positions
Got out of my XLF calls yesterday worried about next week. Might shoulda held another day. But all those spy and qqq puts I bought are looking tasty.
I lie ETF’s like KWEB and XBI. Financials like XLF or buying JPM here would be a quality move
Quickly browsing the option chain and there's a sizeable appetite for XLF puts in August and September, bank earnings and forward guidance might be total dogshit and trigger the next legs down. what plays are people looking at to potentially short financials?
oh and also, 31 XLF puts are a fire sale
Out of BABA and QCOM calls for big wins. Out of XLF leaps for modest gain. Only long option is XLE now. Switching to bear mode and going to hibernate until tomorrow. VIX lottos for next week are awfully cheap.
