Holy crap IWM 🚀🚀🚀 my 205 5/6 calls looking juicy AF
My IWM 205 calls might hit ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)

LOL Yup! His weekly IWM Strangle. Picking up pennies and bragging that he maakes like $49 on it while he is down over $20K in trades like MSTR.
Buy IWM Puts before JPow starts his hawkish speech.
Bulletproof porfolio is all you need. - 30% cash and cash equivalents to buy dips - 30% real estate and REITs like O, WELL, and others - 30% bland boring ETFs (10% each into QQQ, IWM - 10% for speculation and options to serve as hedges - Quarterly rebalance If you follow that structure you will trounce the average market rate of return.
IWM chart makes me feel bullish. In general, I'm so bearish, I'm bullish.
I personally wouldn't bother with 0DTE today since recently the big move for FOMC comes the day after. Probably get some ATM strangles SPY or QQQ (no IWM since it's next expiration isn't until Friday) with tomorrow as the expiration.
It's easier when there is a clear trend. The Ripster EMA cloud is very helpful. The TTM\_Squeeze in Thinkorswim is also good, and the updated Simpler Trading Squeeze Pro is better (and works on other platforms). Paying attention to +/-1 fib level is useful. Unusual Whales tide is also helpful. Sticking to SPY/QQQ/IWM should be your goal. I did very well Q1 but have struggled the past month.
Buying 0dte straddles on high IV days is not a recipe for success lmao, it's a good way to blow out your account extremely quickly. A good analogy would be betting $1000 to make $10 on a football team up 28-3... SPX straddle (if you want size similar to SPY just do XSP, cash settled so you don't have to worry about delivery/pin risk, etc.) for Wednesday (FOMC) was like $76, which is "cheap", but that means your spending almost $8000 to maybe make like $3000 max. Or you might just lose $8000. Which this happened in late 2022, SPX straddle was trading $120ish on FOMC day and we were unchy - congrats, you just lost $12k. If y'all want a good 0dte option back tester (for SPX, IWM, AAPL) get Option Omega.
Correction: 20% IWM 20% VOT 20% QQQ 20% SMH 20% VTI
If somebody knows something, otherwise FOMC speech is Wednesday and IWM is notoriously sensitive to JPow

SPY IWM and chill ![img](emote|t5_2th52|8882)
2% seems aggressive for SPY. Would probably need to trade 45 to 50 delta weeklies to do it. It can be done but will likely not sustainable. May want to look at QQQ or IWM instead for more volatility/prem.
The data disagrees. Most market moves occur before and after closing, when earnings are reported. This shows on the macro as well (SPY, QQQ, IWM, etc). That said, no the market shouldn't be open 24/7.
AVUV has only been around a few years but it has outperformed SLYV and IWM pretty significantly since inception Disclaimer: I own AVUV, AVDV and AVES [https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&sl=rqiyLcyPmbzKEA7Woj3ak](https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio?s=y&sl=rqiyLcyPmbzKEA7Woj3ak)
WAKE UP IWM ![img](emote|t5_2th52|31225)
No. It will inflate the Mag 7 and deflate IWM, just like it did last time. Also, it will be hot. Energy was way up in the past month, rent/housing likely will show the same.
Glad I bought IWM puts instead of QQQ today ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
IWM not doing too hot in AH, hoping we can pop above 200 tomorrow. Praying IWP does better than today 🙏
As someone who has gotten rich investing it’s fairly simple. Invest in yourself and earn a good income. Live below your means for about 30 years. This doesn’t mean don’t enjoy life, it just means have money left over every month. DCA into SPY(50%) QQQ(35%) and IWM (15%). Other folks will offer other ETFs and allocations. That’s fine.
So glad I got out of all my IWM leaps
IWM put at close to gamble on high PCE data tomorrow?
I support anything that will make IWM go up. Because I can only average down so much.

I wish I averaged down on IWM when it was in the 193's
IWM shitting the bed, you love to see it
IWM getting absolutely fucked...as is tradition
10 year bonds yield mooning! That means people are expecting higher rates and waiting! Recession with high inflation incoming. Stagflation was the real landing huh. Stocks dead and higher for longer. IWM puts today for the -2 to -3% move today.

IWM like “oh we’re doing red?”
I dare IWM to stay higher at open. That shit will follow everything else down.
I have way too much IWM shares to be comfortable right now. But man my F 13c's are doing their best to offset that loss.
IWM puts yesterday was the move of the week 😮💨🤌

I understand piling into mega caps rn since they are “defensive” who tf is buying IWM
If TLT were a person, it would be homely. Clearly, the popular kids SPY, QQQ, and even IWM simply ignore it.
It's like TLT and IWM are looking at completely different economies, lol.
Fade IWM the red headed step child
Is this the year of the small Caps? IWM doing well even without any rate cuts planned
Now the question is, IWM under 192 this week? Or nah
IWM puts, motherfucker. 190p 5/3. i'm down today though...guh.
Thought I screwed up buying those IWM calls
My Friday IWM calls might hit
I use stop losses (bracket order) on SPY, IWM, and QQQ for spreads. I place a 100% credit received for my stop and a 65% take profit. For SPY, it's been working well this year - which is not much to say since the market has been going up for a while. When I place a Put Credit Spread on SPY at the 30 delta I sell $5 wides (usually 2 spreads instead of 1 $10 wide because I can collect more premium on the 2 contracts vs. the 1 $10 wide). I don't play around with the trade I just let it do it's thing - it's boring but that's probably a good thing. If the stop loss gets breached because of a big gap - which is not super common, I'll manually close the trade.
someone else on here has eyes on IWM! I caught that as well friday
Great time to go long small caps if you missed the IWM rip earlier in the year imo ![img](emote|t5_2th52|51295)
I'm not sure. Just thinking a large suprise this earnings, $55+ being possible. Definitely wouldn't be selling if I owned shares though. Should pick up with IWM. $70+ EOY not out of the picture though. But more bullish on RKLB in short term.
Besides being cash settled (no stock to hold), SPX, as well as RUT and NDX are expensive - 1 point = $100. SPX is liquid, RUT is OK, but NDX is pretty dead. There’s XSP and MRUT, which can be thought of as cash settled SPY and IWM, although they have way less liquidity than ETF options.
Lol; wow. I was in the arm $125 puts and amzn 187puts fuck me man closed my google 158puts too for april 26 too early. Kind’ve tight. It’s fine. Straddles on IWM closed my 208p’s. For fuck sake i paperhanded 35 options on AMZN closed it for a marginal gain. Tight. Tight; tight. Could be worse. Could be better.
it was only changed in march. one of the reasons it mooned for a second time was betting on that sweet spy money rolling in. IWM still has 2% of it but I would assume it'll probably get rotated out
Cool! I've been really enjoying layering on these spreads over the past few months. This last week has been rough being a bullish setup with put credits. I ended up rolling a bunch of my positions approaching expiration. As the market turns bearish or turbulent, I scale back my buying power used so I can afford to roll these positions without going bust. Rather than close for a loss, I sell the leading debit spread to finance rolling the credit spread out in time. The danger of this is the increase in collateral requirement that comes with it. Say I open a spread with a $200 dollar collateral req. If i were to break off the debit spread up front to expose the credit spread, my collateral requirement goes up to $300. (Given a ratio of 1:3 on the width of the legs) Hence the larger cash reserve in anticipation for rolling positions. Unfortunately, the entire portfolio took a shot with a majority of my spreads being in SPY and IWM. If i get an aggressive move down on an ITM credit spread, my only saving grace is to cut into profit and roll it down for a debit. Such is the nature of a big negative move. Had I opened positions with a bit less correlation, things might not seem so dire. Since this is a play account, I'm just going to ride out this trend until I can get back out of the spreads for a profit. A big bullish move would actually cause them to close for greater profit than the initial condors, but I'm not holding my breath, just playing the cards I'm given. As for the "close for 2% max risk" it's a bit of a guideline for closing the spreads early. If I open a spread for $200 max risk, regardless of credit recieved, I look to close it out for $4. This lets me set a good til cancelled BTC on the position and only play around with it if I start getting close to expiration or my breach spot price. This is all a learning experience for me, and the down market is actually an exciting opportunity to play around with different defensive strategies within the trade parameters to learn how to react to different market conditions. If you end up giving this strategy a whirl, good luck! It's convoluted at first, but it ends up being really cool to watch the profit wave roll across the position approaching expiry from the favorable side.
Look at the strength IWM had through that selling.
Still doesn’t explain why interest rates sensitive stuff like small caps, IWM, regional banks were holding steady. High for longer will hurt them more
IWM is an index of small caps. If you properly hedge with protective puts and sell covered calls you can make massive premium. The stock has been trending downwards so I leverage with 5x puts until the market decides to start going back up. I have one long put at $200 and 5 short term puts at 190. Irregardless of the price action I have the right to sell my shares at $200 which means with falling price even if my shares get called as long as the price doesn’t go over the strike of $200 I can rebuy the next week without an additional loss
This sounds exactly like those folks who said we were entering a bear market for the next decade while QQQ was 35% down. And then what happened? We roared to ath's. This is normal for the market. 5-10% is perfectly reasonable pullback. Especialy after such an insane run. QQQ is gonna hit around 400 where is was at start of year and then be off to the races again to ath. Is what it is. How can no one recognize they are literally working overtime for reasons to dump the markets? Rates don't matter anymore, they will cut this year. Middle East doesn't matter. Economy is strong. Workforce is strong. It's hilarious watching the talking heads try and come up with reasons as to why shit is falling. Wanna know why? It was really high. The bigs don't want to dump the markets they want to get back in at cheaper. That's all. I fully expect a rebound next week, then a little chop, then a strong move upwards. Look today at IWM. Which has been the weak link. It ended green. Market is gonna broaden out and climb. I wouldn't be throwing money in the Mag anymore, they are spent. But the rest are ready to finally take advantage of years of underperforming.
What is actually going on? Sell off due to profit taking? Doesn’t make sense due to Rate cuts vanishing. IWM and KRE green. They are the ones needing rate cuts.
KRE and IWM was. I was surprised
JEPQ, IWM, SCHD Apple
IWM doesn’t have gains like QQQ does. Investors have no reason to dump their IWM. There’s no profit taking there, because there is no profit there lol.
Someone please explain how IWM is green if this sell off is based on rate cuts not happening. Aren’t the small caps the ones that need lower rates?
IWM green. Russell, haven’t you heard ?
The fact that IWM is green makes me wonder if that so called switch to small caps might actually happen
IWM of all things is green lol
Kinda crazy IWM is green when it's biggest component is down 15%
Short IWM on this bounce, as always
SMCI about to kill IWM lmao. That and MSTR were the only two things not sucking
I could have just diamond handed my way into profit. Pretty sure I had some IWM 200P and SPY 500P at one point but I've basically been getting destroyed all year and had to save what was left of my account
IWM puts better fucking pay
CRASHKARI SAYS WE CAN WAIT AS LONG AS IT TAKES BEFORE CUTTING RATES || SAYS COULD POTENTIALLY WAIT UNTIL 2025 TO LOWER RATES.... SPY IWM are going to get it tomorrow.
Short IWM on every bounce. Has worked for 2 years and isn’t stopping anytime soon
