This was THE tweet for premarket. I saw the same levels and thought no way we get both 🤣 glad I was ready. Held swing puts and traded a call right at open
@Steven_2376 I saw this earlier today and thought that would be interesting. Held on to my puts longer than I would have! Thanks for the dashboard, def easier on the eyes than the option chain.
CHEATSHEET for GAMMA pinning
There is a major reason why you shouldn't be trading all the time and everywhere. Trade only when the dealer can't control the market.
For new traders $SPY
Today, the SEC approved a major FINRA rule change that eliminates the Pattern Day Trader (PDT) rule and replaces it with a new intraday margin system.
https://t.co/vdRoCGPOza
📷 What’s Being Removed
The $25,000 minimum account requirement for day traders
📷 What’s Replacing It
A new intraday margin framework that:
Measures risk in real time (or end-of-day) instead of counting trades
Requires traders to maintain enough equity based on actual exposure
Applies to all margin accounts, not just day traders
📷 How the New System Works
Firms monitor your account for intraday margin deficits (when risk exceeds equity)
📷 Implementation Timeline
Rule is approved now (April 2026)
FINRA will:
Announce an official start date
New rules go live ~45 days after that notice
Firms can phase in over up to 18 months
📷 Key Takeaway
The market is shifting from “how often you trade” to “how much risk you take.”
This is a huge structural change—it opens the door for more traders while still enforcing discipline through real-time risk management.

I post a daily recap no matter how i perform, without a miss, cannot find a lot of transperant folks here.
@AuclairsDad I’m so sorry about your lil guy. If this can help ease some pain or give you a brief moment of happiness, I honored him as having the name for your indicator. It’ll be in his name forever.
@RobertPBalan1 It’s the first thing I look forward to for anything market wise. You’ve really filled a lot of unknown unknowns that I had about Greeks. I actually found you through @TailThatWagsDog so thank you both.
@RobertPBalan1 you are by far one of the best out here on this app. There are so many other details I have learned reading your posts that have made so many things come full circle. You are much appreciated
@AlexsOptions did we know for sure we would have a ripper this week? No. But did we have a setup of it being highly probable? YES. 3–2-2d on VIX. Swung spx all week. #thestrat#vix#spx Targets all hit. Next week will be wild.
@AlexsOptions#vix FTC strikes again. I swung 6350c but I watched these 6330c explode for overnight session. Failed 2-2 was possible, with vix going FTC to the downside. #thestrat#spx
