IWM
iShares Russell 2000 ETF
stock NYSE ETF

Feels like a double-top on IWM. 
That news about the deal was before the strikes yesterday, so if there's no other updates on the Ayatollah agreeing then I'll prob grab 1x Puts at open and reup 3x if needed midday Friday.

Actually went in on IWM 0dte Calls and won.
Thought it would change my mentality but this feels like some disgusting money.
I'll use House money to stack Puts near SpaceX, I guess.🤷‍♂️

3rd day of week 4. Green. Today, got in calls at 10.00 ET with 4 contracts. No fancy options strategy like iron condor, selling etc. Using simple EMAs, VWAP etc to see the trends and levels.
I increased my contracts 4 today.
Contract price was back to normal prices as there no wild moves over last few days.
Again, on IWM the 290 level is trickly as it is a round number. Who knows how many times it will hold around this level. It tried to run away from it. It was dropping and I was waiting for it to bouce back since it was only downwarn move and riding the EMAs. Have your pick, 9 or whichever ones you fancy. Patience and detachment is a big factor.
The Greed, set my 50% profit and left it. Shitting myself when it went lower, joking 🤣 I did not get in earlier than 10.00 as you can see the price is just hovering around the same level 288.25
As I write this post, at 10.38 ET, I am done for the day and back to normal work. In a year's time, maybe no longer any job in IT with redundency and tough market (UK). Someone experienced, I know had to take half salary of what they used to get, they were out of job for 8 months after redundency.
One and done: 5 contract with $39 per contract = $156 total profit
Total options cost = $308
I don't need large amount of cash to make profit in trading, especially options or even futures if you fall in love one of many futures traders 🥰
Time in trade: 12 min. A morning glory trade 🤤
If you believe I am lucky every day with the trades and posts 🤷🏻‍♂️ I belive I have no choice, to put in the effort and keep doing, any loss is my loss as it is me executing my own trades.
Started with $300, 4 weeks ago, and growing it to $60,000 with 1 trade a day, is still my goal.
My trading plan and strategy is trading one trade a day, 2-5 times a week.
I only day trade options on ETFs. Timestamp on the broker is UK time. So, entry time of 3.00 is 10.00 ET.

Since you already have VOO and QQQM, I would add NASA and QTUM ETF's. Then a little IWM and FBTC.

Wtf IWM

IWM gap fill to the downside coming up

Want to see IWM hit $287. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Data is out, here's the read:
# 🚨 PCE REACTION — COOL CORE, CRACKS UNDERNEATH
**The bull route hit — but read the fine print**
## ✅ THE VERDICT: ❄️ COOL CORE
**Core PCE 0.2% MoM vs 0.3% expected** — came in *under*. That 0.2% annualizes near ~2.4%, far closer to target than the 3.3% YoY headline suggests. Disinflation tailwind confirmed. **This is the bullish route from the playbook.**
- Core PCE: 0.2% MoM (beat) / 3.3% YoY (inline)
- Headline PCE: 0.4% MoM (cooler than 0.5%) / 3.8% YoY (inline)
## 🔻 THE CRACKS
The inflation number is clean — but the growth picture softened hard underneath:
- **GDP Q1: 1.6% vs 2.0%** — miss, growth decelerating
- **Corporate Profits Q1: -0.4% vs +5.7%** — the red flag. Profits went negative.
- **Personal Income: 0.0% vs 0.4%** — consumer's fuel tank flat
- **Real Consumption: 0.1%** — spending softening
- **Durable Goods 7.9% is a HEAD FAKE** — Non-Defense Ex-Aircraft (core capex) was **-1.1%**. The headline is Boeing/defense lumpiness; real business investment shrank.
- **Jobless claims 215K**, 4-week avg climbing
## 🎯 THE READ
Cool inflation + softening growth = **dovish "bad news is good news" tape.** Cuts come back on the table, yields drop, risk gets bid. Short-term bullish — but this is a *lower-quality* rally than pure Goldilocks. The profits miss and negative core capex are the tells that the melt-up is running on rate-cut hope, not earnings strength.
## 📊 THE PLAYS
**Immediate:** Cool Core = green light. Watch for SPX to push the 7,540 supply → 7,600 breakout. Yields drop, tech leads, IWM rips on cut hopes.
- **Long QQQ/SPY** continuation into the breakout
- **Long IWM** — biggest rate-cut beneficiary, and it doesn't need strong profits
- **Long gold** — soft growth + dovish repricing both feed it
- **Avoid shorts today** — don't fight a cool PCE at ATHs
**The catch:** If SPX *can't* clear 7,540 on this print, that's a tell the profits miss is being noticed. Failure to break out = fade risk back to 7,480.
## 🗺️ LEVELS
- **7,600** breakout target
- **7,540** supply — the line that confirms the move
- **7,520** ATH zone
- **7,480** first demand
- **7,450** bulls must hold
- VIX losing 16 = full melt-up / VIX back over 18 = profits crack getting priced
## ⚠️ STILL AHEAD TODAY
**7:55 — Williams.** A cool print gives him cover to sound dovish. Dovish lean = rally extends. If he flags the growth slowdown as a concern, risk pops harder on cut bets.
**12:00 — 7Y auction.** Yields dropping into it = stronger demand likely = supportive. Watch for a tail anyway given weak foreign bid.
**Month-end rebalance** into the close — trim swings, don't over-read the last hour.
## 📋 GAMEPLAN
✅ Cool Core triggered the bull route — bias stays long, buy dips.
✅ But this is a dovish rally, NOT an earnings rally. Lower quality — keep stops honest.
✅ 7,540 is the truth-teller. Breaks = 7,600. Fails = profits crack noticed, fade to 7,480.
✅ Durable Goods 7.9% is fake — core capex was negative. Don't trade the headline.
✅ Williams (7:55) can pour gas on this. Wait for him before sizing up.
✅ Trim into month-end close.
## 🎯 BIG PICTURE
The print delivered the disinflation the bulls wanted — Core is genuinely cooling. But the engine underneath (profits, income, capex) is sputtering. This is the moment the rally quietly shifts from "strong economy" to "weak enough to force cuts." Bullish near-term, but the foundation just got thinner. Enjoy the melt-up — keep one eye on the exit.
*Roux tastes right on top — but check what settled at the bottom of the pot.* 🐺
**Stack smart, STACKers.**

go for ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc

\# 🍲 PCE PLAYBOOK — THURS 5/28
\*\*Fed's favorite number drops into all-time highs\*\*
https://preview.redd.it/y11wtx50eu3h1.png?width=2955&format=png&auto=webp&s=a46b35a56e818b4b73aabeebe8daa44d28a8c4c8
\## 🎯 SETUP
SPX \~7,520 (fresh ATH), VIX 16.3, Brent $93 and falling on Iran/Hormuz peace progress. Oil crashing from the $126 peak = disinflation tailwind feeding straight into a low-vol, risk-on tape. Regime flipped from stagflation scare to Goldilocks melt-up in two weeks.
\## 🔑 KEY INSIGHT
\*\*This print is APRIL data — when oil was still near its peak. It's stale.\*\* The market may look straight through a hot headline because everyone knows May/June PCE will reflect the oil collapse. \*\*Core is the only number that isn't oil noise.\*\*
\- Core PCE: 0.3% MoM / 3.3% YoY (vs 3.2% prior)
\- Headline: 3.8% YoY (oil-driven, backward-looking)
\- GDP Q1: 2.0% (revised up from 0.5%) — no recession
\- Durable Goods: +4.0% (watch for lumpy aircraft orders inflating it)
\- Personal Spending: 0.5% — consumer still alive
\## 📊 ROUTES
\*\*❄️ Cool Core (≤0.2%)\*\* → Rocket fuel. Disinflation + Iran peace + strong GDP = textbook Goldilocks. Breakout toward 7,600. Long QQQ/SPY continuation, long IWM (biggest rate-cut beneficiary). Call debit spreads, not naked longs — IV is cheap but ATH chases get punished.
\*\*➖ Inline (0.3% / 3.8%)\*\* → Most likely. Market shrugs the stale headline, eyes the oil tailwind ahead. Grind higher or mild chop. Buy dips into 7,480, don't short strength.
\*\*🔥 Hot Core (≥0.4%)\*\* → The one that bites. Says inflation is broadening \*beyond\* oil — and crude's collapse won't save it. Profit-taking from ATHs. Fade into 7,540 supply, targets 7,450 → 7,400. Only route that justifies shorts/puts.
\*\*📈 Growth-Hot (GDP/Durables rip, PCE inline)\*\* → "No landing." Strong economy + cooling oil = bullish, but 10Y ticks up and caps megacap growth. Rotate: industrials (XLI)/financials (XLF) over tech.
\## 🗺️ LEVELS
\- \*\*7,600\*\* breakout extension
\- \*\*7,540\*\* near-term supply
\- \*\*7,520\*\* current ATH zone
\- \*\*7,480\*\* first buy-dip demand
\- \*\*7,450\*\* key gate — bulls must hold
\- \*\*7,400\*\* major demand on a flush
\- VIX 16 = melt-up mode / 19+ = something broke
\- Brent $90 = psychological disinflation line
\## ⚠️ WILDCARDS
\*\*7:55 CT — Williams speaks.\*\* NY Fed, permanent voter, first major Fed voice \*after\* Warsh took the chair. How he frames PCE tells you the new Fed's reaction function. Don't hold size into his mic.
\*\*12:00 — 7Y auction (prior 4.175%).\*\* Foreign bid is structurally weak right now — oil-importing EMs dumped $86B in Treasuries in March defending currencies. A tailing auction spikes yields and caps the rally. Strong demand = green light to add.
\*\*Month-end rebalance (5/28–29).\*\* After a strong month, pensions sell stocks / buy bonds. Can override fundamentals into the close — don't over-read the last hour.
\## 📋 GAMEPLAN
✅ Bias: buy-the-dip until Core PCE says otherwise. ATHs + falling oil + calm VIX = bull tape, not a short setup.
✅ Core PCE is the ONLY number that matters. Headline is stale oil.
✅ Skip the first 5-min candle — let the sweep finish.
✅ Wait for Williams (7:55) before committing size.
✅ Watch Brent $90 — oil is the master variable feeding the whole regime.
✅ Trim into the month-end close — don't let rebalancing flows trap your swing.
\## 🎯 BIG PICTURE
Two weeks ago the fear was stagflation. Now oil's collapsing, stocks are at records, VIX is in the 16s. Goldilocks melt-up — IF Core cooperates and the Iran deal holds. The trap is complacency: at ATHs with vol this low, the tape is priced for everything going right. One hot Core print or a broken Iran deal and the air pocket below is real.
\*\*Trade the tape in front of you: bullish bias, but don't chase blind into the Fed's favorite number.\*\*
\*Roux finally simmering smooth — but don't fall asleep at the pot.\* 🐺
\*\*Stack smart, STACKers.\*\*

🐻 here and I agree with my fellow 🧸s.
Using IWM as my example: This is going to V from wherever it bottoms around 8:45am ET and be back to 290+ before 11am ET.
They need to keep this scam Market scamming for SpaceX IPO. Then we crash to Hell with all the damned Retail souls.

Please let me know what u think about the diversification of my medium-high risk portfolio. Am I making any bad choices? Any overlaps? Missing a hot sector? TIA
