Well done! SPY is very nice to make money. I was trading this last year before I switch to IWM this year on 0dte. You can see 2 of my youtube videos, only ones I have on the channel from 12 months ago. Maybe I should be making more soon 

IWM about to commit sepukku and jump off the cliff AFTER market closed and my 0dte expired worthless. Why do I never learn my lesson.

IWM

How regarded do you have to be to pump IWM to 300...with rate hikes coming...this year

just stopped by to say I hate IWM. Going to the shooting range and I am gonna write IWM on my targets.

Plz someone PLZ DUMP IWM BACK TO 296 I GOT PUTS, I WILL NEVER SHORT THE MARKET AGAIN JUST THIS ONCE IN MY LIFE DUMP IMW 

IWM with the 10 rejections of 300 over the past week. Cool stuff, definately should try for 11 and 12 tommorow and the day after!

Been day trading 0DTE and 1DTE SPY/QQQ/IWM options for almost 4 years now and doing fairly well after first 2 years of red or break even months. I always ignored prop firms and never bothered researching them. I just always heard only negative things about them.
My friend's brother has been trading prop firms for a while and he tried to sell me on just giving it a shot. I explained my strategy to him and he said it would do well in a prop firm. I thought oh it's only like $90 (Lucid 50K flex) so let me give it a shot.
Since I know SPY pretty well I decided to trade ES/MES. After four days I breached the account. I was trading like options because that's what I'm used to. I reviewed what caused me to lose and how to adjust to trading with a prop firm instead of options. I had to tighten my stop loss by a lot. With my style of trading, you need to have wide stop losses, but they don't really work with prop firms due to drawdown limits. A few days later, I reset the account to try again. Within three days I was funded and after seven days with the funded account, I reached my payout. I took the $1,200 and put that straight into my options trading account. I thought about it and decided that this is not for me. I don't like how worrying about drawdowns and waiting five minimum days just to get my money. So with this funded account, I'm just gonna go total degenerate and Yolo every trade. A few candles in the wrong direction and I'll get liquidated but I'm sure it'll feel liberating.
So to any of you who trade options and thinking about going with a prop, you will have to make adjustments. I understand that their rules are to help with your risk management, but it's not one size fits all. My risk management regime does not work with prop firms. Trading options just feels more free. You get your money right away.
But of course, the downside of options is you can lose a lot whereas the maximum loss on a prop firm is whatever you paid for the account. Has anyone else tried prop firms but went back to options/stocks?

Multiple versions of Ascending Wedges across SPY, QQQ and IWM. Red candle coming in by Noon ET.

I am trying to build a .py alert system for your strategy specifically for Buy only (no shorts), for mostly day trading penny stocks and sub $10 stocks. Should your system work for this?
I am using Codex and Claude code
This is what Codex worked out from your post (it could not access replies)
Establish higher-timeframe bias.
Identify a PD array such as FVG, order block, breaker block, or mitigation block.
Require the array to sit in discount/premium of the displacement range.
Require a signal inside the array: liquidity sweep or SMT.
Require displacement after the signal.
Require a FVG to form.
Enter on FVG retrace, stop beyond the SMT/sweep swing, target recent swing.
Comments on above?
Codex asked me to ask you these questions. I do not pretend to fully understand the relevance of all of them so if some are junk, just ignore.
1. For stocks, what should the SMT comparison be: SPY, QQQ, IWM, same-sector
ETF, another ticker in the same theme, or only correlated index futures?
2. Does the model require SMT, or is a liquidity sweep alone valid when SMT is
unavailable?
3. Which PD arrays should be accepted for automation first: FVG only, or FVG
plus order block plus breaker block?
4. For entry, should the order be at the midpoint of the FVG, the first touch
of the FVG, or the 50-79% discount/premium zone inside the displacement?
5. What minimum displacement defines "large/aggressive": ATR multiple, candle
body percent, volume spike, or all three?
6. Should higher-timeframe bias be mandatory, and what HTF/LTF pair does he
prefer for intraday stocks?
7. Should targets be the nearest swing, external liquidity, fixed R multiple,
or partials across those levels?
Any feedback would be appreciated

BTC IWM 21 Aug 26 CCS 315/320 for 1.28 (+.5) before it turned into a loser. Nothing is going lower and this was my hedge. Might as well ride the longs

WEN and IWM go up today?

I need WEN and IWM to pump today

Have noticed this a few times, particularly IWM/RUT. There is an arb there when you see it but it's rare and quickly resolved on SPY. The IWM/RUT one is usually corrected around open. For example if you notice the IWM gap is disproportionately larger than RUT/RTY you can usually expect a violent inventory correction/gap fill at open. You can write a script to monitor the fair value of ES in SPY terms, RTY in IWM terms. Just don't expect to make a living from it. But yeah you've basically noticed an inefficiency which is one component of edge and exactly the kinds of thing you should be noticing.
