Time to apply to new jobs again, getting the run around and unrelated requests from this lady who is somehow a middleman in the hiring process. When I was younger I never thought it would be so much crap just to get a basic low tier job.
BTC: IWM 262 Covered call $2.00 -> $0.95

I sold at after I called you a loser 2nd time. Have been holding underwater IWM puts so im happy rn. 

What needs to happen for IWM to go down and stay down without reversing 1% in 20 min?

This is why you buy IWM puts at 2-4pm

IWM is a money maker

Who had Orcle calls SPY calls QQQ Calls Nvda calls Amzn calls Baba calls Avgo calls IWM calls today at close?
Congrats your a fucking genius

Solid setup. A few things worth stress-testing before getting too excited:
The 20-year backtest on SPY covers 2006–2026 which includes two massive mean-reversion regimes (2008–2009, 2020) that heavily reward exactly this kind of oversold entry. Worth checking what % of your total return comes from those two windows specifically.
IBS < 0.3 as a filter is well-documented (Connors RSI research, Cesar Alvarez's work) so you're not curve-fitting that parameter – that's a genuine edge signal. The \`close < 10-day high - 2.5 \* ATR\` part is where I'd poke harder. What happens at 2.0× and 3.0× multiplier? If performance collapses outside a narrow band, it's fit.
The 20% time-in-market is actually a feature not a bug for mean reversion – lower exposure = lower tail risk. But it also means your 334% total return is over 20 years with most capital sitting idle. Annualized on deployed capital is the more honest number.
Have you tested this on QQQ or IWM? SPY-only backtest for a mean reversion strategy in 2026 is a pretty narrow validation set.

FFS sake... IWM puts, calls on CVX and RTX.... What in the actual fuck

add IWM and EWZ to your list. ETFs with decent IV and no single-stock earnings risk. for individual names I like XOM and CVX right now — oil vol is keeping premiums fat. just make sure you're checking IVR not just IV, a stock can have high IV but if it's always that high the premium isn't actually elevated

STO: IWM $262 Covered call $2.00 for next friday

Why is IWM booming right now?

The IWM chart is a classic V

The first half hour or so has some high premiums baked in. If you’re still holding something you bought this early, you better hope it moves your way or you’ll suffer some serious decay. I’ve been mostly playing IWM and most of the times I’ve seen the end of day drop.

Buy IWM puts end of day. Like every day. 4-5dte. Sometimes 7.

Puts at close. IWM puts that is… 4-5 days exp unless you know.

Lol I thought about it too… instead I bought more oil and grabbed IWM puts at end of day. This is just beginning, but damn would calls have been nice.
