mentioned this in the server, very easy case to be made for a sudden vol bid. not the time to be complacent.
server is free to join, we post intraday levels of interest on $SPX $QQQ and we’re running a very fun small account challenge!

Starting today, OpenMarket streams every US stock trade, tick by tick, from every exchange, dark pool and wholesaler.
TradingView has no tape, zero dark pool prints, and order flow guessed from candle color. We calculate it from every trade.
What everyone can now see:
→ The full tape. Every trade in every US-listed stock and ETF, lit and dark, premarket to after hours
→ Footprint, CVD and delta built from actual fills
→ Buy and sell heatmaps showing where the day's volume traded
→ Dark pool prints plotted at their exact price
→ $1M+ options blocks and sweeps beside the stock tape
→ GEX heatmaps, dealer positioning and implied volatility on the same chart
Nearly half of US stock volume now trades off-exchange. If your chart only shows lit exchanges, you're seeing half the market.
non-trading related: there are days where you want to get 72 things done and you feel paralyzed. better to make small progress on a handful of things than to find a distraction from the paralysis
Sustained high spot price can be absorbed, but at a certain point something breaks. Ofc the big event is whether there's a deal/no deal. Seeing a very similar set of precautions being taken by US/Israel/Western powers now compared to pre-war.
CL back at the century mark. Backwardation must go steeper for sustained rally in equities imo. There is lagging effect as acquisition at these prices percolates thru economies and marks up end products.
@Remzztrades the payback period for a newly stood up data center is shortest with SPCX, since roughly speaking they rent out half of all their owned compute with the rest for internal use
that should make it the easiest long in the world, but the price action is absolutely aids to trade
also, having the discipline to compound your gains is an absolute superpower. follow @EmonInvests and i in our discord, it's going to be a fucking amazing ride.
@iWatchUSleeeep yeah i started scaling into QQQ Nov calls with USO calls as a hedge, and the USO 170c I took (in my silly discord btw) are more or less in the money
i strongly believe these are negatively correlated assets, and will probably roll up into the uso nov 200c monthlies on monday
@iWatchUSleeeep IMO oil will decide the probability of some sort of rally, because oil futures curve has to start showing backwardation in order for a rally to happen. i think energy will frontrun hot inflation data because it's such a key cost input.
@KASM_Capital how does shilling a prop firm mean that business is bad? seems like a natural thing to pair an options prop firm with a service like skylit. to me that screams they believe in their product.
Small Account Challenge: Day 10
$500 → $936 so far 📈
Every trade on this account was posted in the free Discord before we took it. No hindsight plays, no deleted Ls
+$196 today alone 🔥
Goal is $5K.
Panic would be VIX printing a 25,30 handle with a swift rejection down and closing below 18
I believe this could be bear market longer term. Oil closed at the highs off renewed war fears. There is obviously a lagging effect to effects of extremely high energy prices. Stay safe!
I too will make a free GEX platform! It’ll deliver incrementally higher edge than the free GEX platform that came before it! Oh, and it’ll be capable of serving extremely accurate updates in positioning to thousands of users at the same time at zero cost to myself!

4) $SPCX. Commons or near the money leaps. Yes, the unlock schedule is bearish on its face, but buyers stepped in in force at 120, 100. Lots of tailwinds going for it, should only strengthen as businesses mature. Terafab, Starship, Starlink v3, turbine factory, etc
