QQQ puts please save my port 🙏

Why does SPY have a higher % float shorted than QQQ? You'd think QQQ would have a better r:r based on the concentration risk. Any method to the madness ya think?

Made a fortune by buying every single dip (zero shorts) on QQQ for May to November 25, then lost a lot during the chop months between November and early Jan 26. Since I have totally switched to shorting only, I am heavily performing on my account. Made almost my whole yearly salary by shorting since January. Basically I always went short at the top of the range in overbought territory.

I will second webull. Their app is pretty damn simple compared to some other brokers that I've used.  They also give you the option to select 'Do not exercise options at close' so you don't have to worry about your options being sold automatically 15-30 minutes before close. They will sell like 10 minutes after close for qqq/spy if it's ITM though.  I usually trade on my phone so I haven't looked much into their pc app but it looked like their charts are set up very similar to trading view.

I found the more educated I got, more information scrubbed through, more screens, DD analysis, live data, pricey subscriptions to deeper live data, following other analysts and predictive charting I did, the more I lost. The market (in my opinion) has pulled a 180 in behavior. What worked flawlessly 2-3 years ago left me in shambles, so had to regroup and come back with a much more "regarded" strategy. When I just watch the live chart behavior (with what I know from watching it every day) and get a gut feeling that something unexpected and stupid is about to happen, I'm poppin' bands. Pulled a 120% port gain today on 0DTE calls, then puts. Was done by lunchtime. Find one thing (like SPX, SPY or QQQ) and just learn it, live and breathe it, and trade it exclusively. Know that some days, there just isn't a good play and wait for tomorrow. Chasing multiple stocks and memes just goes tits up when you know nothing about them. Besides, usually by the time you even know about them, they've gone stale. I also have to play it like it's a game, and not money. When I take losses and start worrying about ~~trading~~ playing to make money back, I lose even harderer. Caution to the wind, play it like it's a fuckin' Atari game, and I'm on fire.

I learned my lesson after losing 5k in options. There's no rhyme or reason to this bullshit. In 7 years since built 130k in a roth 401k instead with just steady growth. Just get out of options and put everything extra every month in spy or qqq or some other tracker and leave it. In 7 years you'll be back. Expensive lesson, though.

oh, yeah pin risk... well that sucks, I am sorry for you. It wasn't MU that pumped tho, it was the entire market because of taco tweet (not today tweet, a different one, mf has tweeted like 3 things +1% -1% +3% in past days) QQQ and SPY were up 1% AH on Friday once in the past there was a guy here that forgot to sell and got assigned on a META call (on margin) and then the stonk crashed on Monday before he could sell
