We are going to quite literally open markets up by 100 points on ES and 400 points on NQ as China wakes up and buys the dip.
Hmm I would start trading /ES futures in ten minutes and ride the wave up. Sell for a profit and time everything perfectly
Apple is strong but is it stronger than the Simple Moving Averages , I don't think so which is why I'm going to short some /ES contracts tomorrow.

Long futures on ES from 5060, pay me baby
I scalped it on the way back down in the ES. Made $1,900+\- a few dollars. The hardest part was letting it pull back on the candle then shorting and when it stopped going down closing quickly and wait for it to pull back again and repeat.
Yeah regular /ES is like 5k a contract
/ES is unchanged from last night.
then why not trade /ES E-mini S&P Futures options that do not have a pattern day trading rule that also trade 23 hours a day?

Check ES/NQ right now, I admit my timing was a bit off but eventually we will have a pullback and break lows. Powell never said anything bullish in the meeting and is obviously just delaying his hawkish tone lol. The markets rallied when Powell said the next decision likely won't be a rate hike, however that was already largely known. Otherwise, it was just all fluff
Fukin perfection! ES 5124.75💥📉
Nailed it! If he were to actually track his trades and make his spreadsheet readily available to all his members at all times he wouldn't be able to run his scam. It's all about sub Money to him. Between his 0DTE Room and his ATM Program he is bringing in well over $100K/Month on sub money. He routinely takes $20K + losses on 0DTE NDX trades. They are not tracked or talked about. He lost $55K a few days ago but is bragging pon Twitter that he is uop $150K YTD on 0DTE trades. He made a mistake in late 2022 and showed his Tastytrade account balances showing he was down $170,000. He has a trade called the Theta Fairy. It's a 1 DTE /ES Strangle designed to make $100 overnight. Last August he got in trouble and started rolling it for several weeks. When it got to about 250 points ITM he closed it for a $15K Loss. Now he is back at it doing the trade and bragging on Twitter "How nice is it to wake up to an extra $100 before starting your trading day" The guy is a toal disaster and I'm just trying to bring some visibility to his Scam
Jfc…easiest trading day ever. Super predictable and compliant on the ES. Lower highs and lower lows all morning. Hardly any drawdown up and down.
$CLH Clean Harbors Q1 adjusted EPS $1.29, consensus $1.16 Reports Q1 revenue $1.38B, consensus $1.34B. “Strong demand for our services resulted in a better-than-expected performance in the first quarter” said Mike Battles, co-CEO. “We delivered record Q1 Adjusted EBITDA, driving year-over-year margin improvement. Our Environmental Services (ES) segment once again led the way. ES continues to benefit from a growing interest in our broad array of services, high-value disposal and recycling waste streams, pricing execution and an expanding project pipeline, fueled by customer demand. Although the Safety-Kleen Sustainability Solutions (SKSS) segment started slowly in Q1, recent improvements in base oil pricing and ongoing initiatives are encouraging. As always, safety is our first priority. We achieved a good start to the year with a first-quarter Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) of 0.69”
practicing on a simulated account but it’s all futures and shit. how much exactly am i risking if i short a ES (for example rn its 5059.75)
ES dropped 40 from the top??
Brokers will usually only use financially settled contracts. In other words, there is no delivery. If, for whatever reason, you are trading on a delivery settlement contract, the risk management team will take you out at their will (most likely within the week of expiration). Obviously for financial instruments, like /ES and /NQ, there’s no possible delivery as a whole. TDLR: Don’t worry about delivery. If you want information about if there is risk of it with your broker, ask your broker
ES 5141 is serious resistance for some reason today. Market has rejected numerous times. If it does break through there will be a nice run up taking a lot of stocks with it.
damn, somebody has a serious hardon for ES 5141.
TSLA down 2%PM is more or less noise from ES movement
That sounds better. ;) My general practice is I don't open a 0DTE trade until after 10:00 - 10:30 am ET since the market has a bad habit of reversing right about then. I spend that time doing a "market weather report." By that I mean I review financial news, ES, VIX, ADSPD, DXY, etc. If the market looks bullish, I buy a vertical call spread on SPX or XSP based on the expected move. If it looks bearish, I buy the same with puts. If I place the order after noon, I make it a 1DTE rather than 0DTE. And lately I'm leaning toward 1DTE more in all trades because if I'm wrong on my directional prediction for today, it's likely to revert toward the mean the next day and at least reduce my loss if not turn into a profit. And on days like this Wed when the FOMC speaks, I don't do anything.
Should I do something really stupid and buy a 5/3 50 delta call on /ES? They are only $1500 or so. I think a flip for +500$ might be easy money. But also if I do, market guaranteed to tank next 4 days.
Depends on futures, the ES wasn’t able to establish 5150 as support, so until that happens I’m not bullish on spy
For zero days left until expiry options, SPY stops trading at 4:15pm Eastern, ES and SPX stop at 4pm Eastern.
The ES Bears had em on the ropes. Knocking the snot out of the bulls. Then went to the Wendy's dumpster for some extra-curricular activities.
Not sure why you would care as an investor, unless you mean you are looking for a job at such a fund? Hedge funds might have discounts for trading /ES in volume over options on SPX, so the decision on what instrument to use could be influenced more by overhead costs or other limitations, like dollar volume. Insisting on SPX options only could be sub-optimal for any given institution.
Theoretically. Depends how you manage it. You'd probably have more success selling options on ES than trying to wheel spy
Full port 1 SPX contract ATM or close to it, at open Monday. Watch PM /ES and $SPY to find trend. Set SL/TP once the numbers turn green, chase stop every 10% or so.
Go back to the week of august 24 2023 and you’ll see we are running this same market fractal. Use ES. They are nearly identical.
up 10 points on /ES contract , holding until the person who sold me the contract cries
its true but my analysis is donne on US500 chart and not on ES.... Maybe have different quotes no?
**Never forget how they stole every move from you in premarket. ** Yesterday /ES futures hit 5130. Today 5140. We’re gonna open 25 points lower. That’s why you gotta trade futures kiddo
No you should stay bullish. Shorting market today would not be wise. Watch a move up on ES, SPY, and QQQ. I will be longing any dip at open.
[Vegas isn’t looking so hot last month for what is typically a busy month](https://assets.simpleviewcms.com/simpleview/image/upload/v1/clients/lasvegas/ES_Mar2024_97baa1e1-b274-42e2-b9f9-9e93c9bcd1d1.pdf) It’s time to short Casinos this week.
2100 contracts at /ES_F 4960 aren’t real , they can’t hurt you …..
Or just trade ES options and trade them 23 hours a day.
lol ES is +90 off today’s low
So glad I decided to take my $100 ES profit and leave $4,000 on the table
Banked $1200 on /ES Puts this am closed out the PFE calls sold. Waiting for another set up
Nothing like a 30 point gap in the ES to build trading confidence. Lame ass bulls could not even pretend to close it so I could load the boat with shorts.
Plunge Protection Team trying to step in in the ES
Not much VX movement on that ES dump
The amount of people that don’t even know what the actual futures are is hilarious. It’s not the SPY and QQQ, it’s the /ES and /NQ. SPY/QQQ do not trade after hours. After the stock market 7pm halt their bid/ask moves based on the actual movement in the /ES and /NQ futures contract prices.
Algo buying? ES Futures are down 0.70% and haven’t moved at all.
/NQ futes down 1.15% /ES futes only down .68%
ES futures starting the night down 0.70% LMAOOOOOOOOOO
Held ES down to a -$1,200 loss to later hit my $50 profit target
ES 5120 too solidified these puts are looking calm rn
Yes I buy /MES and /MNQ futures as leverage and play with /ES option for daily fun. Sometimes I buy way OTM /ES options for like $50 and they quickly turn into $1000.
Let into naked short strangles on the /ES
I'll have to try that out. I'm mostly just focusing on ES. It seems the easiest to chart and plot.
Been trading ES futures lately and everything just seems so much easier. I guess because that is the basis of the market and SPY and Stocks move off of futures.

corkscrew piggly wiggly almost fully formed on the ES / 5 min
reverse head and shoulders almost fully formed on 15min /ES
Terrible idea. News events are going to drive markets crazy when there’s less volume in the off hours. Look how haywire futures went on ES, CL, GC and others just last Thursday evening when Israel attacked Iran again. 24/7 trading is going to break something.
im in $15k worth of /ES 5200 calls expiring Friday
filling the ES gap i guess
I use interactive brokers so I’m not sure how it works with other brokerages, but trading futures options is essentially the same as regular options but with larger spreads due to far lower volume. Trading actual futures, on the other hand, is slightly different because you’re basically forced to use margin to trade, for example a single contract of ES (basically equivalent to SPY) is worth ~250k so if the price goes up or down by even a small percentage your port value moves massively
Yeah. I’m waiting for backtest of a lost trendline and will gauge reaction there. That daily ES wick from Friday looks like a form of capitulation for the bears.
/ES with the historical reenactment of Friday’s price action. Puts for me on anything above 4800.
ES futures opened almost 2 hours ago. You may want to keep an eye out on how SPY will react tomorrow after 3 weeks of closing in red.
One way is to look at the extrinsic value for very deep ITM options expiring a few weeks out -- is it less than zero? (European). "But the CME website describes contract specs, including the exercise style!" you cry. Yes, and the website may not be right, and the website includes contracts your broker doesn't support. That being said, AFAIK, for ES, the AM-settled are American, and the rest are European. GC and CL are American. I think all ZN are American. I don't think options on the micros follow the same settlement deliverable (eg, physical/cash), but I would assume they are the same exercise style as on the corresponding e-mini/"main" contracts.
AFAIK, all the options are european style but for options like ES only the quarterly expiries expire to cash — everything else for ES expires to contracts
Qqq is more fun for puts. If tech is suffering buy qqq puts. However spy has the best liquidity and ES1 futes are where smart people play.
Personally, I would recommend using the futures instruments, so /NQ for QQQ and /ES for SPY. I do all of my trading of swing shares using the futures as a general guide. For example, on /NQ we are sitting at an anchored vwap that is from Oct lows. Now, I have confluence and see that AMD is sitting just above its 200MA. Does this mean the market will bottom? God no. But, it gives me an area to build a position in case I have extra cash. Rather than just DCA’ing all the time. However, DCA’ing is still a powerful tool. In this most recent drop, I was able to avoid the now 10% decline and just recently started adding shares.
ES (futures) hit the 200 SMA overnight Thursday to Friday and the Friday candle now is an impressive bullish hammer
Your first mistake is trading on Robinhood. Can’t chart for shit. Follow someone on Twitter who tracks levels of the SPY or ES. Set up TradingView and link to Tradestation. Set the levels. Trade them in daily options religiously.
Trade At the money 0dte /ES futures options 30 min before close , your gonna want to watch it also ,gonna get spicy
Depends on the ticker, ES and NQ sentiment, VIX and any catalysts. You need to let your 0dtes ride and not paper hand with a small win like a pussy. I'd say on a day like today when your OTM goes few strikes ITM or at least a 10X your original investment you can sell half and then ride the rest until an hour before market close. Or until market close if there's enough momentum and consistently elevating IV (puts consistently held their value even during any spikes upward) Today NVDA and SCMI puts had some hundred baggers. Even if you lose five fridays in a row, one strangle on a black swan style friday will wipe out all your previous losses. The point is having significantly larger wins than losses. 0dtes, though high risk have insanely high rewards which is why one needs to detach emotionally with a predetermined amount
I spent the last hour of the day scalping 0dte /ES calls and puts, don’t think I held one more than 3 min , most fun I’ve had trading possibly ever, and had 4 positive and only 1 trade I lost money, and it was small amount. The swings are crazy, intense as hell
If I'm being honest right now I'm still catastrophically depressed despite having gone short /ES a few weeks ago. Life's tough right now even when your portfolio is alright.
This is why I like trading ES contracts (options or direct futures). You aren’t stuck on the sidelines after hours if something moves your direction in a big way. I know SPX trades after hours now, but liquidity is still suspect and some brokers don’t support it
Could have bought /ES calls
/ES Daily candle that’s 93 points of pure recovery, no body at all. Last time that happened? Not even October 13, 2022 had that.
Congrats to anyone who bought the /ES dip
lol I bought ES futures at basically the exact bottom and sold when it was 1% down, coulda made about 5k
So 80pt move on ES overnight? Wtf……
