Monday was painfully obvious. Tuesday will be too. Long soft tacos, short IWM

IWM, EEM, XLK, XBI, XLP, KRE, XLI to name a few that come to mind. There a few others

Small cap is also overvalued IWM Is filled with shit companies, LLY is also overvalued. Qqq has underperformed spy this year while most economy growth happened in qqq

I got a higher YTD than on may, june or july. My highest YTD as sept 2nd with 25.36% and currently sitting at 22.52%. Seems I will close \~1.05% up today. My best 3 stocks are acn, mrk & cm and my 3 worst performing are vstn, mrp & hesm. I am someone who delves a lot in value/quality investment through actual fundamental analysis and several valuation methods to eventually see it on a football field analysis and getting an avg and median price and compare to spot price and future CAGR. From "ai stocks" I got Googl (recently bought), Nok and Msft (avg \~ $386 since it was following it earlier this year and bought when it touched the ascending trendline which was the same as the 200 moving average between other reasons). I have never been a momentum idiot with fomo who follows whatever said from all these "covid experts" on whatever social media with their geniuses ideas that are just "buy the dip", "ReV is beating up expectations" with storytelling & hype as if liquidity was infinite, and as if cost of capital and risk management werent a thing either Currently I am beating VOO, QQQ & IWM pass. Ironically the one I am not beating is SCHD which everyone was just spitting last year. For ending if you cant comprehend or have a thesis of your own why SCHD, VTV & COWS are beating VOO & QQQ, you got much to learn and just invest on ETFs. Will save you time and your hair

sudden massive volume on IWM

50% profit. Stayed longer today as I was at the airport for a drop off and got distracted. I then put thr take profit 😬 If you cannot get consistent profit with 1 contract, one trade, don't fool yourself to use thousands in your account and then risk 5% and and then cry. This is outdated rules. Loads of demotivating comments and posts everywhere. I can trade SPY, QQQ but I am not doing it as IWM fit my current Christmas trading, I am sure you noticed the time, premium prices I do. It does not mean it is easy for beginners to go trade at open. I spent trading later in the day, watching the chart. It is like adult movies, the more you watch, over time, you the only watch it a few minutes to be in and out with your morning glory. I need money for Christmas gifts. No one is going to give me for free, I am not so beautiful. I started with a $250 account, aiming to reach $5k profit in 50 trades. You saw on many of my previous post I was growing another small account. Hope you get inspired. Life is short. I will try post the trades. Simple options strategy, no wheel, iron condors etc. Using simple EMAs, VWAP etc to see the trends, levels calculations. Trade: 5 contracts = $125 total profit. Total options cost = $255 50 % profit Time in Trade : 20min. Not a morning glory 😅 $10 per contract per day, it makes a huge difference with time. Don't be greedy every time. My trading plan and strategy is trading one trade a day, 2-5 times a week depending on availability. If you are learning by yourself, give it 2-3 months to see how you are progressing. If you believe I am lucky every day with the trades and posts 🤷🏻‍♂️ so be it. I believe I have no choice, I put in the effort and keep doing, any loss is my loss as it is me executing my own trades and money. I only day trade options on ETFs like SPY, QQQ, IWM etc. Timestamp on the broker is UK time. So, entry time of 3.04 is 10.04 ET. I trade on my phone, screenshot is from TastyTrade. EMA 200 and VWAP on the screenshot for TradingView

IWM briefly hit 283 why did I choose to be a rainbow ber today

# IWM ONLY SAFE HAVEN

VOO for VTI ? that really won't do much. VTI is \~87% VOO with the rest being small-mid, tiny weights. If you want the small-mid consider AVUV or IWM, maybe SCHX to capture some mids. Value paired with growth/momentum is a validated trend... SCHD/SCHG or VTV+SPMO - something like that. VOO, VTI, VT would all be save long term. VT is 60% US.

I've been trading with GEX levels for a few months. The tools I found most useful cost around $700 a month. The cheaper ones I tried barely changed during the day. The levels at 3pm were basically the morning’s, which is useless for 0DTE and I didn't trust it with swings either. So I did what any sane person would do and I used my dev background and built my own platform called TrueGEX. The most important part of GEX is the data. Get that wrong and every level is wrong. It took some time to research it and understand how to do it, but finally I managed to get levels extremely close to those expensive platforms. And at that point I started using only my tool for GEX to trade which has been a great experience so far. I finally decided to go a step further and release my tool as a product, but for 86% less than the competition. I truly think this data shouldn't be that expensive and I built most of the features that I find very useful for GEX trading during the day: \- **Gamma and vanna heatmaps** by strike for SPX/SPXW, SPY, QQQ, IWM, NDX and 200+ stocks and ETFs. The largest node (the King) is highlighted, so you see where the biggest concentration sits and when it moves. \- **ES and NQ charts** with the SPX/SPY and QQQ/NDX levels drawn at futures prices, so futures traders don't have to convert anything. \- **Multimap:** **Up to six heatmaps side by side**, e.g. SPXW, SPY and QQQ in one view. \- **Charts with GEX levels:** I really like this one and use it daily to see how levels react. This also is just a chart you can use to watch the price and add indicators etc. \- **Options flow**: sizable trades as they print, filtered by premium, size, DTE and side. \- **Replay**: step through past sessions minute by minute and see how a level formed and what price did when it got there. \- Works in your phone's browser, nothing to install. \- **Alerts:** get alerted on your watchlist when some GEX event occurs. Like price gets close to a king node etc. \- **Scanner:** keeps scanning the market and alert user about big moves happening with gex exposure. This one is currently being tested in Beta before I release to users. \- **Academy:** I created academy on the website explaining some GEX concepts you can use in your trading. But there are of course resources available everywhere for free. **What it still misses:** \- Data licensing is the biggest cost of running something like this, so it isn't cheap to run and because of that stock and futures prices on TrueGEX are calculated from options prices, so they can differ slightly from your broker's: usually a fraction of a point on ES and a few points on NQ. I'll add licensed price feeds once the customer base grows. **You can check it out here:** [**https://truegex.com/**](https://truegex.com/) I opened a **free 7 day trial** so anybody can try the tool before comiting to it. The price after the trial is $98/mo, but for the first 20 customers there is a coupon code that gives you 30% discount for life. I'm super excited about this because I use it daily and keep improving it. I hope some of you find it useful. I'd love feedback on which symbols are missing and what you'd want on the chart, and I'll be in the comments all day.

QQQ and IWM has
