Going back to collapse of the Internet bubble, serious VIX spikes coincide with big drops from 52-week highs for $SPX. Second chart is a closer look at current times. Do we go down hard when futures open later today?? https://t.co/XnG2Iu29Fd
A strong leverage imbalance in BTC: around $8 billion in short positions and less than $200 million in longs. Although #Bitcoin has slightly recovered today, the market still seems to be expecting a continuation of the escalation of the conflict. https://t.co/yZKxSSUIGw
#XAUT has officially entered the Top 10 perpetual trading pairs on Binance, according to CryptoQuant. https://t.co/SdMYcOKgm1
Everyone watches Nifty50 futures price. Some track IV in options trading... >> Almost nobody tracks the hidden interest rate inside Nifty futures. >> It’s called Implied Financing. And once you understand how implied financing drives Nifty50 futures, options pricing, and volatility structure… You’ll never look...
Traders beware of random information without context. The 1%-2% rule was conceived by smart futures pit traders in the 1980s who executed dozens or hundreds of trades per day. The average retail trader who does a few trades/wk will never...
Bullish Brent positions at nearly two-year high prior to attack on Iran Before the United States and Israel attacked Iran, hedge funds and other money managers amassed the largest bullish position in Brent crude futures and options for almost two years,...

You don't need 10 strategies. You need one — done consistently and correctly. Mastery over variety. Every time.
With SPX implied near 6800, the P/E multiple is down almost 2pts from the November 2025 high https://t.co/bDmapKAmlt
Spot vol beta in the VIX complex was relatively hot yesterday. Nothing insane, but more towards the high end of what we usually see. S&P closed down about 60bps, VIX up about a vol point /VX up about 4%. Strong...
I wrote about Polymarket Iran markets and crude vols last week but didn't cover oil call spreads vs the odds. Jacked call skew makes call spreads cheaper in oil but the presence of Polymarket binaries creates a bid for them...

1% from ATHs, pathetic, imagine when real vol shows up: Private-credit ‘cockroaches’ and the AI ‘scare trade’ hammered stocks in February. Here’s what else has investors shaken up. https://t.co/mzDqO7IsGo
📈Funds bought a massive amount of CBOT wheat in the week ended Feb. 24. Net buying neared 51,000 futures & options contracts, the third most for any week on record. Funds were net short 17.3k contracts as of Feb. 24, but...
TSLA is frustrating...vol is cheap and I want the nitroglycerine puts but the skew is jacked. https://t.co/e8sACX2GXu
Breakouts look strong… until they reverse. 🚨 If we’re inside value with a flat VWAP, chasing highs is usually the trap. Fade statistical extremes. Trade location, not emotion. Link in profile 📲 #DayTrading #FuturesMarket #TradingEducation
$AXP put buying staying constant Hammered this week on the idea that the end of white collar knowledge workers disrupts its card user spending https://t.co/Cd5J3HA4N4
Today's spaced repetition is structured as a slow-as-molasses homework that builds up to understanding the nature of covered calls vs the equivalent portfolio of selling [delta] amount of your stock (which is the right basis of comparison)

Applied Opto (AAOI) seeing 880 June $85 calls bought $1.5M with stock up 45% on results, a top components play for a while now on the AI buildout Piece I wrote last Aug. https://t.co/WYy1BykzGw
$KKR $ARES starting to see some April opening short puts Need that group to stabilize, was my first red signal a few weeks ago
Pretty remarkable that the “we’re raising half the money via equity” improvement in Oracle’s 5Y CDS completely reversed (and then some) so quickly https://t.co/E8Qzqv4pMx
$SPX futures were -30 as 6915 failed to hold, and now we see if 6859 (yesterday’s low) holds or not. Tricky action—lots of range-type trades, but no real traction. https://t.co/rUISq4Qyt5
Yesterday was a down day for SPX and Naz Comp. So what is all this green on my screen of breadth numbers? https://t.co/Sww1AmkNJo
Good morning. Mixed markets around the World. $spx futures -17 $spy got rejected at $693 to break $690 to see $684 area. We’ll see if they holds, or not. Let’s end the week making the right decisions This range...
If #ETH makes a 20% pump, approximately $4.34B in short positions will be liquidated. If ETH sees a 20% dump, around $4.64B in long positions will be liquidated. https://t.co/ZAvjYl247Q
Day 1 of running my automated futures trading strategy on MNQ. 3 contracts executed. 1 scalp taken. All trades followed predefined entry and risk management rules. Session result: $211. No hesitation. No moving stops. No discretionary overrides. This is the same futures trading strategy converted into a rule...
Back to the numbers... Stock futures and $MSFT (good job @hedgeye for highlighting Mr. Softee's share price weakness over the last week while the shows were talking about its "value") move lower after the close after $XYZ job reduction...
$CRM highs, call fly trade up big and similar to WDAY gets a positive reaction
Funds defending that long position in #soybeans like crazy. 11.55 in May looks like the area it needs to keep closing above for now.
Moontower for today... 🌙options policework A highly useful and approachable post (well that claim is for you to decide) for deconstructing a bad beat, how to manage the position, and basic sizing framework https://t.co/lriLcCfSTC https://t.co/zBmPgdFBWn
Stop guessing. Start trading probabilities. 📈 Price Wave Deviation Bands show you when price is statistically stretched — and when mean reversion or expansion is likely. This is how we trade structure, not emotion. Comment TOOLKIT 🧰 #daytrading #vwap #futures
VIX rejecting $20 and market curling a bit Not out of the woods yet need to fade back down under $19
$VIX You have to love this mkt, it's so fricken stupid, it's so easy to trade vol, enjoy it while it lasts https://t.co/39f4OYBDnn
Interesting seeing Low Volatility and High Beta as the best performing factors over the last month. I don't recall seeing these two at the top together very often. https://t.co/K79dkjqxxF
Folks still pretty hedged up from what I can see. A bit of a risk-on tailwind in the VIX term structure. Could we see a move higher with some FOMO? https://t.co/UAZfhySv15 https://t.co/7zeEui58Ho
Sean and I met almost 20 years ago right here on Twitter @X. Today we get to trade markets together every day. What first started here grew into what you now see in the @StockMktTV community. Come hear how @OptionsSean...
$SNOW "Trade Idea 2: Buy the February 27 Expiry 167.50/172.50 Call Spread ($2.75) and sell the February 27 Expiry 146 Put for 45 cents." puts ecpire, sell call spread near $5 or watch to max out Friday
Sometimes, earnings moves are muted or delayed due to positioning in the options market. I don't know why more people don't talk about this?
$NVDA "Trade Idea 2: Buy the February 27 Expiry 197.50/202.50 Call Spread ($2.10) and sell the February 27 Expiry 185 Put for 15 cents." puts expire, sell call spread on any weakness in stock price.
And for what it's worth, I even think the #soybeans are over extended here. Funds defended right at the upper keltner band yesterday, but wouldn't take much of a break to get below it leading to a possible break....
According to Coinglass data, #BTC drop below $65K wiped out $500M in leveraged positions. https://t.co/H196RV5gTF

Viral Blog Bottoms? If you look at the software vols, we obviously still see some very high IV Ranks but those should come down today now that some earnings have passed. We'd argue lower IVs in this space generates a bullish...
What the scum at Jane Street was probably doing was buying puts on $IBIT on a Friday and then crucifying $BTC when US markets opened up on Monday. That is the returns for $BTC on every Monday in 2026 https://t.co/h4GTmfLL7O
The top 10 largest stocks in the S&P 500 are 50% more volatile than the S&P 500 itself right now. Important for risk... but more important for alpha right now. https://t.co/yqBR2QU8nK
Yesterday SLV vols were down with the small down day...today vols are down across the board on the uptick. Unexpected. These are pct changes in the vols. It appears like the fronts are getting hit harder. But they're not... https://t.co/Py3JzocrxE
