When Is the Right Time to Bottom-Fish?

$SPY$ When is it time to buy the dip? Not now. Simple reason: the current drop is pricing in the impact of surging oil prices — but what about earnings season? With triple witching (March 20) behind us, we're now three weeks out from Q2 earnings. Last quarter, spending was the main driver for stock moves. Spending up → stocks down. So if spending slows, does that mean stocks go up? Not so fast. Slower spending would signal that big tech is cautious on AI — which would almost certainly trigger a valuation reset. That's why I'm not surprised to see May puts targeting 600–625 on SPY. That's deeply pessimistic. Still, a bounce next week is possible. Put expirations are skewed further out than calls. So the market could swing violently either way — but options are expensive. Buying premium is a

Option Stratgies: 7 Reasons I Only Trade 3-5 Tickers

7 reasons I only trade 3-5 tickers: You learn how each one moves. $S&P 500(.SPX)$ isn't $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$. $Meta Platforms, Inc.(META)$ isn't $MU. Every ticker has a personality. Fewer options means fewer excuses to overtrade. Your focus goes deeper instead of wider. You stop spreading risk across things you don't fully understand. One great trade beats 10 mediocre ones every time. Mastery comes from repetition. You can't repeat what you keep changing. Discipline gets easier when the decision is already made. Pick your tickers. Learn them. Stick to them. For SG users only, Welcome to open a CBA today

TRADE PLAN for Thursday 📈

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ every Thursday the past few months has been a red day. If this Trend continues SPX could break 6600 and drop to 6500-6520 by Friday. SPX needs back above 6700 to look more bullish this week. Be careful trading the upside, every pop has sold back lower the past 2 months. $Apple(AAPL)$ is back near a key support level at 250, if this level fails we could see a dip back to 240-242 AAPL March 27 245P is best under 250 tomorrow $Invesco QQQ(QQQ)$ needs back above 600 to look more bullish this week. I'd stay bearish under 600. QQQ to 580 in play if it fails to hold 589. Good luck tmrw everyone!! 🫡 For SG users only, Welcome to open a CBA today and en

TRADE PLAN for FOMC Wednesday 📈

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ all about 6800 this week, if it gets back through it'll set up for 6880-6900 again. For now, the price action is still pretty weak. SPX under 6700 more bearish tomorrow. Puts can work under 6700 All eyes on MU earnings tomorrow. IF MU can have a positive reaction it can gap through 500.

DLO: What's the Difference?

A while back, we asked a simple question about $DLocal Limited(DLO)$ to so-called FinTwit "experts" heading into an earnings release. Well, DLO is announcing earnings on Wednesday after market close, so we'll pose the same question ... "what makes this stock so great now versus before ... why is this time different?". The response from Rose Celine Investments was dismissive — basically telling us that if we were asking, we shouldn’t own the stock. That’s not analysis. It’s a deflection. The market has repeatedly signaled skepticism, and any responsible analysis should try to understand why, not rudely dismiss someone for asking a valid question. Since 2023, DLO has had multiple rallies into $17–$20, each followed by a sharp sell-off — and the curre

TRADE PLAN for Tuesday 📈

$S&P 500(.SPX)$ held the gap up today but failed to close near the highs. SPX needs to get through 6740+ after FOMC to see a run to 6800. I'd be more cautious trading calls if SPX stays in the 6665-6740 range. $SanDisk Corp.(SNDK)$ through 725 can run to 800+ . SNDK 1000 in play if it gets through 800 this year. SNDK March 20 800C can work above 725 $Bitcoin(BTC.USD.HKCC)$ setting up for 80k if it can breakout above the 74k resistance. $COIN to 215-220 if BTC pops up 2-3k more above 74k.

Triple Witching Playbook

$NVDA$ High probability: range-bound snoozefest. Low probability: total meltdown. War’s not over. Everyone’s waiting for Trump to drop the hammer. If he does — buy the crash. If peace breaks out instead? Short squeeze goes vertical. Usually selling calls here is risky. But for NVDA — and the rest of Mag 7 — squeeze potential is capped. Market’s glued to Q2 capex. No upside till earnings. Pick a strike with room, hedge it. Call spreads are fine. Institutions ran it back: same 185–190 spread as last week $NVDA 20260320 185.0 CALL$  $NVDA 20260320 190.0 CALL$ . 170 puts $NVDA 20260320 170.0 PUT$&

The Only Reason I Win the Market---Luck

$S&P 500(.SPX)$I've been profitable every single year since I started trading. Not a single red year. Here's the only reason that's possible: Luck. But not the luck you're thinking of. Luck isn't random. Luck is what happens when you've done the work and the opportunity finally shows up. I spent years preparing before the market rewarded me. Here’s exactly how I prepared for profitability: - Review every trade - Mark your levels every Sunday - Be at your desk before the open - Size down until the process is automatic - Write down your plan before you sit down to trade - Know which 3-5 tickers you're watching before the market opens Do this every day for as long as it takes. I'm also wired to win. Losing a trade doesn't break me

Someone's Betting on a Gap Down Monday

$SPY$ The biggest trade: 29k of the March 17th 647 puts bought $SPY 20260317 647.0 PUT$  — over $4M in premium. March 17th is a Tuesday. Expiry like that? Only makes sense if someone's positioning for a Monday gap lower. Trump may want a quiet runway into triple witching, but Wall Street and the political machine behind him aren’t all rowing the same boat. If shorts in the US market start stirring up trouble, hard to stop it — the payoff from a crash is just too big. And who knows — maybe Trump himself is backing the downside. Talking stability, but betting on chaos. $NVDA$ Same story, different week. Still betting on a pullback to 170 $NVDA 20260320 170.0 PUT$&nb

Both Sides Watching From the Sidelines

$NVDA$ Tuesday's put flow suggests the panic has cooled — at least for this week. But institutions aren't letting their guard down. 40k of the March 20th 170 puts were bought to open $NVDA 20260320 170.0 PUT$ . If oil's reaction is any guide, we're likely in for the scenario I laid out yesterday: chop into triple witching. So NVDA grinds 180–190 into next week. $USO$ USO saw big blocks in puts — mostly longer-dated. Two strike buckets: 100 and 90. Means the market sees a stalemate near-term. Probability of a major drop in the next two weeks? Low. $TSLA$ First medium-term bullish call in a while: 510 calls bought $TSLA 20260515 510.0 CALL$  — 15.9k contr
