Sitting on them now. Will cut if we clip 413.82 with 2 2-minute candles. VIX still above 20 but not rising...yet.J.P. 03 said:Did you end up buying puts on the bounce off 413.68? I'm tempted to as soon as my self-imposed "don't buy SPY options before 9:30" rule expires, but VIX is still creeping downward and I don't have a clear feel for where we're headed today yet.FJ43 said:
SPY Scalping
My starting plan....
My range I have today is between 406.24 and 413.40/413.82. Levels in between those.
Don't think we get past that 413.80ish level and hope we defend 406. Rejection at 413.80ish and I load ATM puts.
Anything move below 405.33 intraday and I pretty much will move bets to normal sized puts focus plays and 1/2 sized calls intraday.

Wonder if TDA is going to approve me for futures with my money? Rode NQ for 120+ pts this morning and am still running ES on a 40+ pt ride currently. Submitted the application 2 days ago.
correction... it ran pre-market, so not a true gap up, but it is trading in a channel with a wide range over the last week. 19 or so being the bottom and 23.80 being the top of the channel (peaked outside it this morning at 24).BREwmaster said:probably flip premium one more time, but could run soon. There's a gap now to yesterday's close. It fills back to there 21.70 ish, then runs. Of course we need bitcoin to keep trending up too.NRD09 said:

Sell some premium this morning or is she ready for a real run?
If they look at my paper trades this week alone, the futures commissions are $1000+, if they don't approve they're crazy.$30,000 Millionaire said:Tasty will approve.McInnis 03 said:

went with a degenerate (tomorrow expiration) put spread - 21/20P. Cost .15, max profit is.85, but even at $20 tomorrow it's a 300% return (before expiration). $20 or below by expiration tomorrow and it's 600%.

Only down 40% now. Keep running!CrazyRichAggie said:
Gotcha. My plan was to just hope SPY has a nice little run in the morning and sell my calls for ~50% loss vs a ~85% loss.

stopped out at $1.55. I will consider that a "win".CrazyRichAggie said:
33% now..
Yes. Looking at rolling my JUNs out to JULY or SEPMr President Elect said:
Pretty sure it is best to roll them when they are up. The recent price action has more direct impact on the shorter expiration options. I'm assuming by rolling you mean by date and not strike price for the same dates.
solid job, you sold on strength!CrazyRichAggie said:stopped out at $1.55. I will consider that a "win".CrazyRichAggie said:

from a technical standpoint it was headed back down regardless, this just speeds it up a little. Under 20.60 though is a buy and around 19.40 (as long as that holds) Big Buy!Ccutamu said:And down goes MARA!ClutchCityAg said:

Yeah, those kinds of benefits should be reserved for politicians and societal elites, not some slapdick that bought $1000 of dogecoin 2 years ago.Irish 2.0 said:Not that I'm a fan of the IRS, but they aren't wrong when they say crypto is ripe with opportunity for tax evasion and money launderingClutchCityAg said:
