Another week, another lesson (or ten). Here's my week in review and what I found worked vs didn't with my signals.

#trading #investing #finance #stocks #0dte #spx $SPX $SPY

SPY $777.73, QQQ $757.54, both expiring today. Max pain sits near $779 on SPY, $761 on QQQ. Spot is already inside the dealer gamma range on both. #0DTE

$ORCL put sweep just crossed: $1.34M premium, Feb 2027 $130 puts, 9.6% OTM, nearly two years out. Same tape: $SPY 0DTE $777 calls swept twice in 10 minutes, $95K, basically at the money. One trade buys two years of downside insurance. The other chases today's close. #0DTE

SPY $781.12, max pain for today's 0DTE expiry sits at $772. That's a $9.12 gap, about 1.2%. QQQ same picture: spot $761.79 vs $754 max pain. Both indexes trading well above the strike where options sellers feel least pain. #0DTE

0DTE IV rank right now: SOXL 112.9, SMCI 74.5, INTC 71.5. HYG sits at 7.5, AAPL at 26.7. Same expiry, same clock, wildly different vol priced in. #0DTE

Another update after an amazing day (and 30 days, really!). Highlights, what worked, what I'm doing, and whether I'm actually gaslighting myself 😂

0DTE options hit ~61% of SPX ADV in Q2 2026 (3.1M of 5.1M contracts, Cboe data), rising from 22% in 2022. The PDT rule repeal (June 4) is set to drive Q3 flows higher. Same-day contracts are no longer a niche bet—they're the core of intraday liquidity. #0DTE #SPX #Finance #OptionsTrading #Markets

0DTE options are 65% of total SPX volume now. Up from 22% in 2022, when Tuesday/Thursday expiries first launched. Same-day contracts aren't a niche side bet anymore, they're the majority of the tape. #0DTE

Over trading is real and it's one of the main causes of blown accounts and the high rate of unsuccessful traders.

Made almost $700 (11.5% ROC) before getting out of bed 🛌 😂

Learning to read the tape (volume ~ GEX), watching SPY/RSP ratio, VIX9D/VIX/VIX3M surface. Could have made another $120 on better entries, but none of this was bad today!

$SPX #trading #finance #investing #0DTE

$SOXL: IV Rank 110%, near the richest point in its own range. $HYG: IV Rank 6.3%, sitting in the bottom third.

IV Rank isn't asking if options are expensive. It's asking expensive relative to that name's own history.

Same premium, completely different setup.
