IWM
iShares Russell 2000 ETF
stock NYSE ETF

If it is hitting your SL, then based on your strategy, your SL is too tight and conservative. You need to review it.
- if starting with small account for options, you cannot have this 1-5% general stuff for risk. This is useless and for people who have large account and using only a portion in each trade
- keep forward test your strategy and refine it.
- I only day trade options on ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM and take like $10-15 profit per contract. I have just restarted with a $300 and targeting to scale it to a$60,000. Started posting in this subreddit.
- I see you are based in India and won't probably have access to US markets as you trading nifty. Same principles applies, just use tradingView for charting, back test manually and keep forward testing.

My IWM 281p weeklies might be fooked.
Never forget, behind this top is another grander, more lofty top.

My IWM 261p weeklies might be fooked.
When will I ever learn... behind every top is another, more grand and lofty top.

I remember but I didn't buy even though I believed in Alphabet because I was heavy over weighted on google already.
Diversify they said. So instead of jump pumping more cash into mag8 I bought stuff like CHRD, VOO, LVMUY, AXP, IWM/UWM/TNA, and BOXX/SHY.

So I trade similar strategy with some tweaks. I use 1min, 3min, & 5min candle charts.
5min chart has vwap.
3min chart has ATR and 9ema.
1min has volume.
I trade SPX or RUT. Since you can’t add volume bars or vwap on thinkorswim for indexes I watch, SPY, IWM or QQQ.
Entry criteria, who is leading Risk On or Risk Off or is it crab day.
Enter trade on confirmation of trend on 5min with ORB, watch 3min where the ATR is and enter the trade on 1min. Is it bounce of vwap or rejection, is it bounce of 9ema or rejection.
This works until it doesn’t.

I have 1% of my port in IWM puts and everything else in cash equivalents or short term bond funds.
Im not touching anything at these nonsense levels. Not buying 1999 level hype levels

IWM, hits new 52 week high

IWM was just casually hitting a new ATH every 15 minutes today.

Why of all things do they keep trying to pump SMALL CAPS??? THAT SHIT HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 6 YEARS YOU IDIOTS AND YOU KILLED IT. ITS MAG 7 OR GO FUCK YOUR MOTHER!
LITERALLY 0/6 RATE CUTS THAT IWM PUMPED IN ANTICIPATION FOR THIS YEAR. LIKE ITS ACTUALLY JUST GETTING FRAUD PUMPED AT THIS POINT.

who the fuck is buying IWM at this price?!?!?

QQQ and IWM up almost 1.5%, what are you looking for?????

IWM and FNDB have performed significantly different over the last decade so this would not be an adequate recommendation.

It's likely that funds are moving cash from their winners to their losers. I tend to think many money managers do realize we are in a bubble and they are trying to minimize their risks.
Would you rather buy cheap stocks that may lose another 20% or hold onto the bubble stocks that will get cut in half or more? And if the AI circle jerk bubble continues those IWM stocks will prolly also rally.
My worthless 2 cent opinion.

i do think higher rates hurt IWM disproportionately but the chart looks really clean.
KRE is another one i am eyeing for a short. Which is the regional bank ETF but will do so after this week's QRA

too much too fast on too much fraud and too little cash flow.
IWM Puts just added. I get semis running because people dont understand the concept of cash flows and bubbles... but IWM pumping makes no sense as those companies suck and depend on cheap debt and oil

The benchmark for FNDB is the Russell 3000 index so pick another ETF that uses the same (or equivalent) benchmark and has a lower expense ratio.
For example - IWM.

IWM, the crappiest index that is also impacted by tariff and oil the most, is up like 11% on the 1 month chart.
Crazy.

IWM/small caps +infinity%

With all of the recent developments in the Macro environment - wars, tariffs, AI, software meltdowns,….I have gotten away from individual stocks for the time being so I am in SPY, IWM, GLD, QQQ exclusively. I don’t have to spend my time analyzing company data metrics, just have to pay attention to the news and my options greeks.

I have stupid OTM IWM calls that I'm hoping some even higher regard overpays for on the next round of (fake) talks.
On the flipside, saw a video breaking down this Rally as a perfect storm of a short squeeze snd more convinced than ever it will crash as soon as some selling momentum picks up. 
Of all things that caused the rally, it was massive shorts being covered as a huge catalyst (according to the vid, not my dumb ass).
So inverse, there might not be as much shorting involved from the sting of this rally, and that will propel a crash even more because it'll be nothing but algorithmic selling triggering algorithmic selling.
