Wall Street is really screwing over America with these algos. I'd rather have 10000 Claudes at the CBOE than this bullshit

>CBOE VOLATILITY INDEX HITS OVER TWO\-WEEK LOW; LAST DOWN 0\.72 POINTS AT 15\.87

Didnt explicitly left my job as I was part of a major restructure and both my kids (twins) were born around the final days of my employment. Lets say I had to take a major time-off for personal reasons. I come from the industry and have been in quantitative roles for years so I consider i know a thing or two. I am usually on the selling side but with a major trade entry and directional analysis. I prefer that my profit comes from delta rather than theta.

Even with all my dashboards, helpers, bots, etc... IT-IS-FUCKING-HARD. Even more so if your personal life has been severely impacted (in my case, 2 little kids) and your concentration/personal space/availability is diminished. Mind you, last year i made 47% and this year may and june have been brutal (for bad). Several rolls and an assignment that dropped my account by 15% (interestingly enough, not a fancy tech stock or meme shit, but CBOE).
The first thing you must understand is you are selling tail risk. Time decay is not free money ands there's a major left skew that will catch you sooner or later. Convexity is a bitch. If you sell puts mechanically just because you read a number in the delta box, you will fail.

this is a young mans or semi-retired mans business. Only do it if you like it, you have a large account, you can put quality hours into it and you stay away of the last fancy options trend.
Last of my 2 cents, dont quit your job. The appeal of trading this way is that it allows you to do other things. It doesnt require you to be 10 hours looking at candles. Enter your trades with reasoning, manage them according to rules and live your life in between.

Been pulling EoD options chain data (ticker + greeks, CSV output) from \`api.onclickmedia.com/options/\` for a personal project - no official docs, no API key, and the requests only work with a spoofed browser \`User-Agent/Origin/Referer\` pointing at \`web.onclickmedia.com\`, which already feels a bit sketchy.
Data itself is decent (EOD strikes, greeks, volume, OI going back a few years) but I've hit some real quality issues:
\- some dates return the entire day's chain duplicated (thousands of duplicate rows, not just a handful)
\- occasional non-identical "duplicate" rows for the same contract (differing bid/ask/greeks)
\- no rate-limit docs, no changelog, no status page I can find
Anyone here actually used this as a data source? Trying to figure out if it's a known/trusted free alternative to paid options data (like ORATS, CBOE DataShop, etc.) or if I should treat it as unreliable/scraped and look elsewhere. Do you have any information on who runs it or how accurate it's been for you?

interesting, the prediction markets are messing with the valuations of the exchanges -- ICE, CME, CBOE -- and the traditional gambling stocks ... VICI will be fine, maybe buy on the dips from time to time

I remain optimistic about market performance over the next two weeks as the new allocation cycle begins. Target-date funds, passive strategies, mutual fund inflows, and systematic allocations are all expected to provide supportive demand during this period.
Since 1928, the S&P 500 has advanced 69% of the time during the first half of July, producing an average return of 1.5% and an average rally of 3.2% in positive periods.

July is also the second-most active month of the year for retail investors

Year to date, U.S. corporates have authorized more than $925 billion in share repurchases whichs the strongest pace ever recorded through this point in the year.
Technology and Financials account for about 57% of all announced buybacks in 2026, reinforcing demand in many of the same sectors already benefiting from strong retail participation and passive flows.

Now, on to SPY. The thesis heading into yesterday was that the JPM collar on the S&P 500 would force market makers to hedge, creating supportive flows and pushing the index higher.
This is exactly what we saw, as the market briefly touched the main resistance level at $750.
The volatility regime is close to turning positive, which remains supportive of price action. However, the market will need to hold above $745.

Another interesting index to watch is COR1M, or the CBOE 1-Month Implied Correlation Index. It measures how much investors expect stocks within the S&P 500 to move in the same direction over the next month.

It is currently trading at 5.8. A low reading like this suggests that investors remain very calm and do not expect a sudden, broad-based decline across the equity market.

I’m actually super impressed with CBOE.
Single stock futures, binary options.
Gonna ball so hard

$CBOE is a shocker and one I’ve been observing over the last two months. Waiting for it to drop more so I can get in cheaper

Hi guys , i have a special interest in quality compounder and i’ve been refining my watchlist lately, focusing on compounders that are currently out of favor. We all know that if a stock price *only* went up, it would be priced to perfection, leaving no margin of safety for us. Sometimes a drawdown is just a necessary multiple re-rating; other times, it’s a warning sign of a broken thesis.
The real challenge for a value investor is identifying when the "pain" is just noise and when the moat is actually evaporating. I'm interested in companies where the fundamentals remain rock-solid, but the market is currently punishing them due to macro headwinds, temporary margin compression, or just overly high expectations that are finally resetting.
I'm currently looking at these companies and i believe that regardless of the current drawdown, fundamentals are intact and these remain strong long-term plays.

(I'm intentionally avoiding Netflix, as I don't see an impenetrable moat, and I'm steering clear of most pure-play software, as I find it hard to distinguish between true competitive advantages and "feature-based" businesses that can be disrupted overnight.)
**I’m curious to hear your take:**
How do you personally stress-test whether a drawdown is a buying opportunity or the beginning of a terminal decline? When a high-quality name drops, what specific KPIs or red flags do you look for to confirm that the business model is still intact, rather than just "hoping" for a turnaround?
Which beaten down quality stock are you monitoring right now ?

They're Schwab's portfolio margin risk metrics. EPR (expected price range) is the *theoretical* maximum amount a security could move up or down in a single day. PNR (point of no return) is the percentage move an underlying would have to make before the entire brokerage account goes to zero. Basically the more contracts you pile on, the more leveraged the position becomes and the PNR gets lower and lower since it would take a smaller move in the stock to wipe you out. So if the stock has an EPR of 25% (the lowest value Schwab gives to individual stocks), I'm going to make sure my PNR doesn't get below 75% (3x of 25%). This is where the share price comes in since a stock trading at $500 carries a lot more notional risk (when levered up with options) than a stock trading at $50, etc.
I target a range of stocks that meet my risk requirements, everything listed above, but basically they're all more or less equally (un)likely to move 30% within 2 weeks. I filter it by earnings so stocks come and go from the list as they move through earnings reports.
Here's what I traded the last weekly and the last monthly expirations. There's a few that are greater than $350/share and those were mostly 0dte.
