There are huge differences between index options. I trade NDX options all the time and they are nowhere near as liquid as SPX. If you’re trading it or RUT, don’t expect screen market fills. And now I see it’s IWM, which is NOT trading the index options. You are trading ETF options. Hopefully by now you know the many differences. But honestly, it appears you’re in over your head here anyway.

IWM has been too strong today, there will be a reconning by tomorrow

SCARED MONEY MAKES NO MONEY $IWM PUTS IT IS

Well there goes bonds and IWM. Suppose SPY is next.

Yesterday all three index ETFs closed with dealers short gamma, where hedging chases moves. Today they're long gamma, where hedging leans against moves, and the tape looks like it: tight, pinned, grinding. **SPX 7756.** At 9:35 the straddle priced 7661–7747 for the day; SPX is already through the top of that. The biggest gamma strike on the board is **7770**, and it has grown **51% in the last 30 minutes** as dealers add size there. In long gamma, a growing apex above price tends to act as a magnet, then a lid. **SPY 773.35 (+0.56%).** It's sitting right on its 773 apex, the heaviest strike for today's expiry. Cap 775, put wall 768. Options now price only ±$1.92 for the rest of the day (771.43–775.27). **QQQ 726.90 (+1.3%).** The strongest of the three, but its 725 apex is **unwinding** (−11% in 30 min), so the anchor under it is getting lighter. 730 is the next level up. **IWM 276.88.** Pinned to 277, which is still building (+13% in 30 min). Read: positive gamma all around plus growing pins usually means a quiet, mean-reverting afternoon. The risk is a pin unwinding; QQQ's is the one losing size. These are levels where dealer hedging is concentrated, not targets.

Why the IWM spike/reversal? Any clues? NKE and LEVI affected. Kicked me out of my positions.

Hell yeah, caught that 1 minute IWM pump.

IWM is quite a shit. Bought 277 calls that were itm and got a slow bleed as welcome gift.

dam IWM is just pumping

Tell how does IWM and DOW pull back exactly 10% and bottom

Not always, gold should be pumping when small caps are pumping. Otherwise now big caps are just safe haven. There is a big IWM/SPY divergence now

Very valid point... it was too complicated to do with as many positions that I had... Last week was brutal... I have just a few PMCCs and a few iron condors positions now.... CCL, SPY, QQQ, IWM,....

Do we think that was the bottom for the next bit on the IWM?

Im thinking itm IWM puts

IWM puts

Last peak of Bol Death Mountain formation on IWM. Last chance to take the money and run.
