Hey, on Tuesday I published a new trade idea: a SPY 650/640 put ratio spread (1x2), 31 DTE, opened for a $306 credit right as volatility spiked. The objective was simple: get paid for the panic. Today I've pulled a super-strategic move: just bought the 630 put for $1.11, and that single adjustment transformed the entire position into a risk-free butterfly 🦋 (!) with: - Zero downside risk - Zero upside risk - Max profit: $1,200 - Min profit: $195 - Probability of Profit (PoP): 100% This is what most traders miss in high-volatility regimes: you're not predicting direction; you're engineering a distribution. When fear is overpriced, you can sometimes lock structures where the market pays you first, then sells you the wing cheap enough to remove the tail. I do this setup on SPY all the time, but the framework works on any liquid ticker with tight markets: QQQ, IWM, and even selected single names.

Microsoft is literally the only thing working today. Funny how everyone chases the NVDA hype until the market turns.

Sold off my MSFT and GOOGL today. Not worth holding them through this dip when META and NVDA are clearly holding up way better. Just following the money at this point

it’s a bad for tech today. msft, meta, and amzn are all dumping pretty hard... Feels like everyone is rotating out. Only reason aapl and googl are holding up is that gemini hype from earlier this week. I'm staying cautious until the dust settles...
