Thanks for your submission! To keep things interesting, we want to see big gains and big losses! So we've set the following thresholds for Gain, Loss, and YOLO flaired posts: * YOLO posts must be a minimum of $10,000 of options or $25,000 of shares and recently opened. * Gain / Loss posts must show realized gains or losses of more than $2,500 for options or $5,000 for shares.

My Apple position finally went green and I got out. Also pulled out of TSLA once it got green. Feeling super cash heavy rn, holding my lotto RKLB and ALCC, a little SPY bag, and my red AMZN and META sacks. I need to deploy some kapital
Nvidia is in the same league as AMZN and MSFT, buy and hodl for life
Yeah I hope like heck things come to fruition and profits are made in the bazillions…once Amazon goes to literal space lol. I envision Amazon being like THE supplier of food and goods once we get a colony of some nature moonside. They’ll be like 2 or 3 big names who will pwn the mining sector. Then they’ll be space ex for human transport, and AMZN/blue origin idk something for material goods transport.
never too late for AMZN. it'll be one of 10 companies that exist in 50 years when our corptocracy is actually official.

I run thetagang plays on rare occasions. Just made some money on a NVO covered call cause I’m long term bullish but knew it wouldn’t stay up this past two weeks. Made some money on AMZN CCs this week. Currently holding one at 190 for next week. Might get shares called away, might be able to close for profit. We will see. I used to do CSPs, but haven’t in a while. Running the wheel takes patience and commitment.
Any chance I can get my money back on my 190 AMZN call that got blown up by theta today? 
It never fails. AMZN always drops at market open.
Good for them, now help us and get $AMZN to $240-$260 this quarter.

I agree about GOOG, and mostly on AAPL although iPhone sales are steadily declining. TSLA is a tech company and a member of the magnificent 7, their earnings bombed, didn’t they? And they’re in for more pain. AMZN guided down, and so did META.
Nice run man. Why nothing for AMZN?
Seriously at this point just buy AAPL, GOOG, MSFT and AMZN and call it a day
there seems to be some hope for my AMZN 190c s
I dont know Peeps just can't see us rallying tomorrow. The interpretation of the jobs data is going to trump all... doesn't matter how well AAPL did. With AMZN earlier in the week... we saw the same thing happen. They killed it but it was pretty much flat. A lot of big money short this market... pluss the 'sell in May and go away' thing.

Whilst IV expansion can be "front-loaded", like in your AMZN example; that's not always the case. Often it's more of a gradual climb that rises all the way to the ER date. Each Stock is it's own ecosystem, and such things depend on the critters that make up it's trader population. I don't wait for the announcement. I'm looking to profit not just from Vega, but also Delta and Theta. Sometimes, the profit is all Vega. Sometimes there is no profit. Sometimes I end up with a position that can't lose. I enter the trade fairly Far OTM, and Close when it gets ATM. Sometimes I make 40%, sometimes it's 400%. That said, if the trade has a substantial increase in extrinsic value in a short period of time, I'll consider closing it early. What works for me isn't necessarily best for you, and vice versa. Delta Neutral strategies seem to be very popular, yet they're the only trades that ever made me feel anxious. You have the tools and the know-how to craft a strategy that best suits you, so don't feel like you have to shoehorn my particular way of doing things in to your end product.
Not sure what will happen tomorrow. it’s been a pretty volatile 2 weeks due to feds and big stocks earnings . Feds decision concludes we may go to the upside . AMZN GOOG AAPL shows a pretty good news moving forward . It’s possible … it’s time for a reversal to the upside. Just my 2 cents .

Pretty much. The Back Month expiration needs to at least be after the ER; so it can be on that day, so long as the ER happens pre-market, otherwise it should be the following day at the earliest. One thing to bear in mind is that the ER date probably won't have been confirmed at 40 days prior, so just be aware that you may have to adjust your Spread if the estimated date is completely wrong. For example CRM hasn't actually confirmed that their ER is on the 29th. Another option is to widen your bracket. You'll lose a bit of profit factor but you'll be less likely to end up with both Options on the same side of the event. It might not be a huge issue to tighten the Spread after the date becomes known. I trade a Bullish variation (OTM Calls), which makes this a somewhat directional trade. That said, I do aim for the breakeven to be below the current stock price (when IV expansion is factored in). However I don't trade these arbitrarily. Basically what I'm getting at, is that you should do some back-testing / paper trading, or simply start out with very small positions before you decide to roll out this strat, or your own variation. Not all stocks are suitable. this can be due to liquidity, availability of suitable expirations, or just that IV expansion is muted. Be sure to check out the historic IV30 chart on that website I linked. Some Stocks are simply redundant. There's no point having Calendars open on multiple Stocks that essentially trade the same e.g AMZN/MSFT/AAPL, or V/MA etc. just pick one.
Yep, makes sense. I actually trade a lot of double calendars (usually on SPX) and understand their workings well. In the AMZN example I tested, the profit came from the earnings date being announced for the week of the longs - this increased the IV of the longs and collapsed the IV of the shorts (which was a week earlier). This resulted in the cal showing a profit of around 100% whereas a day before it was at -30% loss. So, the profit was a result of correctly predicting which week the earnings would be announced. Is this what you profit from? Or would open a cal 30 days in advance when the earnings date has already been confirmed? I think companies like GS normally confirm earnings a long time in advance. I'll try and backtest some of these. Cheers.
I thought AMGN is just some regard who spelt AMZN wrong.

I personally haven't held AAPL in years. Never held META either, I get the case for it, just would rather have AMZN, NVDA, GOOG, MSFT, and leave out META.
Yup. And my portfolio does fantastic without any exposure to BA, META, AMZN, or TSLA. No company is perfect, but when there’s a company blatantly killing people to protect its bottom line, that’s where I draw the line. It’s weird how I can be profitable without holding any Boeing, Tesla, Meta, Amazon! Plus, I have the benefit of not being a piece of shit!

My brother in christ you should sell your SPY, QQQ, LMT, RTN, BP, MSFT, AMZN, GOOG, and META if you have problems with investing in companies with questionable ethics lol. TSLA uses the equivalent of slave labor to mine cobalt for their car batteries. AAPL used Foxconn as their iPhone manufacturers, which used suicide nets to catch workers that tried to throw themselves off buildings. META helped promote genocide in Myanmar because their algorithm spread messages of violence against the Rohingya people. I traded during 2020 and bought SPY when the market was selling off- does that make me complicit in the deaths of millions of people that died from COVID? I traded HE during the Hawaiian fires, does that put blood on my hands for the death of 100 Hawaiians? What about PCG's California fires during 2018? Or banks during 2008? Am I complicit in whoever committed suicide from the FTX crash because SBF decided to be the greatest fraudster in history and I happened to trade crypto during that time? I'm a trader, and I trade events that happen whether they are good or bad. That's reality. If you have a problem with it go invest in an ethical ETF and live guilt-free. The entire bedrock of capitalism is built on slave labor and cheap labor. There is no escaping it.
1. It's really not the end of the world if both legs do end up being on the same side of the ER. It's simple enough to fix at little to no cost. If you'd like to reduce that risk, you could be more conservative with your guess, and have a wider bracket; or you could just wait for the ER announcement. 2. What you call risk, I call opportunity. When I place this trade I'm doing so with a Bullish assumption. Being able to make money when the stock trades flat is just a consolation prize to me. Obviously directional trading can be very hit and miss, yet with the payout you receive when you're right, you can afford to be wrong fairly often (assuming you keep your trade sizing uniform). That said, I'm not trading these arbitrarily, like I might do with a strategy that capitalizes on IV Crush. I use these when I have a strong conviction that there will be "a run-up". When I started trading Options, it feels like all Stocks ever did was "run-up" before earnings. Perhaps a Double Calendar would be more suitable for you? That's not a trade I've ever made, and my days of back-testing strategies are behind me, so you'd have to look in to that yourself and decide whether it could work out for you. One more thing worth mentioning is that you shouldn't be playing these on similar Stocks and be expecting different outcomes. If a Calendar on AMZN turns out to be a bust, the one on AAPL/MSFT isn't going to fair any better. Same with V/MA etc.
AAPL MSFT GOOG AMZN understand! Its all about getting us hooked and subscriptions monthly $$$$
Out of nowhere AMZN will pump to $200, trust me bro.
@Dream-404, there are very things on the Options forum which make me go "Wow, this is awesome", but your post above falls in that category. I've just modelled the AMZN trade for the 30th April earnings and yes, it would have been very profitable. However, a couple of things: 1) often the earnings date is not announced until a couple of weeks before, esp for AMZN. So this means its more risky opening the trade 30 days before in case the earnings week is different. 2) there is the additional risk of the stock moving too much in the next 30 days. I agree with your point about the increasing IV coming to the rescue to an extent, but in case the stock was to move say 10% (can easily happen), then the trade will be outside the profit tent. Thoughts?
Why is AMZN down on great market? Did Apple announce iMarketplace?

Is AMZN gonna buy out GME bc I can’t think of any reason why it’s like this?
I am trying to understand my Greeks a little more. I feel like I am getting hung up on a simple thing...when looking at Delta, Gamma, Theta, Vega - is the corresponding number how much the option contract itself moves or how much the total premium moves? i.e., if a call option has a 3.65 contract price and Vega is .33, does that mean for ever 1% increase in the call option, the contract price moves up or the total premium moves up? So if IV goes up by 1%, then the contract price is 3.98? Am I thinking about this correctly? I have been playing around with a paper trades so I can work out some option strategies. One of them is an AMZN 205C for 8/16 ("purchased" 4/25 when the stock price is at 170). The IV90 on this was in the middle, the delta was .3, theta .05 and vega .35. This option has been going up and down like crazy as they reported earnings and I am assuming that is tied to the delta (as the stock price moved up/down $10 in one day and has gone up since)? Since IV hasn't changed much for 90days. I was thinking this would be an interesting contract as AMZN's price is likely to continue higher this year (bull assumption), so I was assuming as the IV spikes as it gets to Q2 earnings (especially is the stock price is close to 205), the Vega would increase the contract price? This is why I am paper trading, so I can get a handle on the Greeks and how they will impact pricing. I also have a few other paper trades to assess how much theta decay impacts long OTM call and what IV crush looks like on buying some ATM calls/puts for earnings in the same week. Vega is one that I haven't quite grasped...

Things I've seen this week on earnings days: AMD open @180 tomorrow! AMZN open @190 tomorrow! AAPL open @200 tomorrow!
AMZN pops for anything except earnings 
AMZN 1DTE puts dumb cheap 
I'm at 142p. I think AAPL ends up pulling what AMZN did tho. IV crush
I will never forget an /r/stocks poster in [this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/xl1ba5/deleted_by_user/) about a crashing market from September 2022 who was **so sure** shit was going to hit the fan and telling us how he was in cash and going short because of this and that metric and the car crash ahead. He since deleted all his posts, but here was my first response to him: > How do you *know* there’s a car crash ahead? And if you do know it, why aren’t you aggressively short? Go 100% sqqq and back up your certainty. > > Just like when the “car crash” was the lingering Great Recession effects in 2010-11, or Grexit, or Brexit, or cratering oil prices, or skyrocketing oil prices, or whatever other “crisis” people were sure would tank the market so “stay on the sidelines til it passes”. > > Or maybe we are at 2008 and shit will hit the fan. But maybe not. > > That’s why yours is a stupid & clueless take. I was loading up on META (still holding), AMZN (still holding), GOOGL (sold) and CRM (sold) and made multiple six figures since then. Take this as another lesson folks that people seemingly need to learn over and over and over again... No one knows shit about shit for the short/medium term. Buy ETFs on the regular and keep scouting for quality undervalued companies you'd like to own long-term. It could have gone the other way, of course. But when you own good companies and are focused on the long-term, you can feel good whether they go up (make $$) or down (buy more). Same as it ever was.
AAPL is gonna be flat like AMZN
RIVN lifting AMZN stocks 
AAPL to $200 EOW, AMZN $195, bears btfo
Alright +12% on my AMZN calls!! Only -78% now LFG 
!banbet AMZN 195.00 30d
!banbet AMZN 190 3 weeks
AMZN 185 been edging me since earnings
I think 190 is realistic by the end of the month... It's been shitting all this year so far, they've trimmed the workforce and cut bullshit developments that weren't going anywhere, most litigation is looking to be heading toward conclusion... But who knows, maybe it instantly goes to 200 tonight because they announce buybacks and partnerships with NVDA, AMZN and MSFT 🤷🏾♂️
>Open the trade on the Mon of the week before earnings This is the only part I'd disagree with. From my personal observations of IV term structure, 40 days out tends to work out well: 1. The Options are trading close to parity - This keeps the initial Debit low. 2. The IV on the Long Option will often increase exponentially over the next 30 or so days. For stocks like AMZN, that tends to be in the region of a +100% increase. That said, it can be hard to get the most optimal expirations, as they may not be available to trade at that point in time, and also because the official date of the ER may not have been announced yet (which is why we are able to enter with such a low starting IV). I trade OTM, so there is a bit of a directional bias to my trades, however with IV expansion, such trades get a whole lot more "Delta Neutral", with the passage of time (you can go pretty far OTM and still have a breakeven below the price of the stock). The increase in Volatility also negates the Negative Theta that such trades start out with.
Hahahaha no problem. But thank you for your comment, I’m def bullish on AMZN. There my next purchase honestly for all the reasons you mentioned (was already aware of them)
Yes, you’re right. Without some kind of active management, just blindly investing in any individual names is very high risk. That said, the massive correction in 2022 for these names is in the rear view mirror, and cleared the deck for the huge moves that came since 2023. They will likely decelerate, but the bull market can last many more years. During that time, some individual stocks like NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN are likely to significantly outperform S&P 500.
I said the exact same thing when after the reaction of AMZN and NVO earnings report
That vacuum company AMZN couldn't purchase is looking good this last week. Really thin volume. No place for shorts to exit. ER on the 7th after the bell. Should be able to disclose the ticker by the end of next week when their MC shoots back up.
Bezos coming back to AMZN as CEO ! ................. 
Did AMZN declare bankruptcy at the last earnings report? Stock is acting like it.
AMZN has to fly on the V move
AMZN looks like it's about to run up, has me feeling good about these SPY calls.
Hey MMs, I know you're in these threads. Could we please pump $META to 500 and $AMZN to 200 so I can unload these bags? tysvm
AMZN 5/10 calls are the way to financial freedom
Thanks for your submission! To keep things interesting, we want to see big gains and big losses! So we've set the following thresholds for Gain, Loss, and YOLO flaired posts: * YOLO posts must be a minimum of $10,000 of options or $25,000 of shares and recently opened. * Gain / Loss posts must show realized gains or losses of more than $2,500 for options or $5,000 for shares. We want to see the actual trade. What you got in at, what you sold at. Then tell us why you did it. Give us the story of why you're a fucking genius (or idiot). This is what a great post looks like: [$17.2K Gain on AMZN](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wb5m4o/not_too_shabby_172k_gain_amzn/) - OP described his gain in the title, has a clear screenshot showing both the entry and exit, meaning his gains were locked in, and they explained their reasoning in the comments and what they learned. All around a great post! Here are examples of what could get your post removed: * [$300,000 SDC Loss. Still not selling](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/wpm9am/over_300000_unrealized_loss_sdc_not_selling/) - Even though this is a tremendous loss and something worth posting about, **the position hasn't been closed yet**. Here are examples of amazing posts which could have been even better: * [$75,000 DDOG Loss.](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/unsrey/loss_porn_ddog_call/) - This is a great post and one that won't get removed. However, the OP could have talked about *why* they entered the position in the first place, what their target price was, and what went wrong. OP didn't stick around in the comments to answer any questions. * [$1.1MM Loss, No details](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/lxm6wt/hold_me_1100000_loss/) - OP simply posted a screenshot of their overall portfolio balance. It's definitely a big loss, but it's not that interesting without OP talking about what trades they were in and why. OP didn't answer most questions in the comments which left many readers speculating on what happened. --- All that being said, we are here to help.
