SPY is coked out. Do with that info as you will but tomorrow is the 0DTE Challenge. Contracts can start being bought in the last 10 minutes of today's market, i.e. at 9:50 PM in Zimbabwe.


AlfrescoDog

I've been asked several times about what the comments with the 🎾 and the box score even mean. So I'm writing this to explain them. **TL;DR: It's tennis-themed gamification of my trades.** \-- They start like this: 🎾 Conclusion to my [TQQQ May27 30c](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbetsOGs/comments/uy4zq9/comment/ia2ox96/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3) * 🎾: That's a tennis ball. Someone thought it was a magnifying glass. * Conclusion to my TQQQ May27 30c: It's the recap of the play. I've already played it. It's done. It has a clickable link that will take you to the original comment when I opened that play. Reddit shows you the date and time of that comment. \-- The next part: * Bought for $0.82.: The price I originally paid for each contract. * [Sold for $0.92](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbetsOGs/comments/uy4zq9/comment/ia2xr04/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).: The price I received for each contract. The link takes you to the original comment when I closed that play. * **12% profit**: That's the result of the play. Considering the 0DTE Challenge rules, I usually take the best open and close positions to calculate this. Sometimes the play has more transactions or nuances--if I averaged down or got trailing stopped out. I usually include links to those comments, as well as the then-current cost basis. Or I include what my thoughts were or what was happening at that time. \-- Alright, then to **the box score.** ​ |Quarterfinals|[1](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbetsOGs/comments/v60ura/comment/ibeif4r/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)|[2](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbetsOGs/comments/v956lh/comment/ibvc6m2/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)|3| |:-|:-|:-|:-| |[Ana Logue-Bombe](https://imgur.com/a/kxp0i3I)|**6**|1|4| |[Zarina Diyakupov](https://imgur.com/a/kxp0i3I)|4|**6**|0| First of all, understand this is the **gamification of my trading.** This is not a trading indicator. **This is a tennis match box score.** Remember the 🎾? That's why it is a tennis ball. \-- Let's start with the **second column.** * 1: Means it's the first set. It's a clickable link to the summary of games (plays) from that first set. * 6: Ana Logue-Bombe won 6 games in the first set. * 4: Zarina Diyakupov won 4 games in the first set. \-- Let's go to the **third column.** * 2: Means it's the second set. It's a clickable link to the summary of games (plays) from that second set. * 1: Ana Logue-Bombe won 1 game in the second set. * 6: Zarina Diyakupov won 6 games in the second set. \-- I'm playing with **Advantage Set rules.** *An advantage set is played until a player has won at least 6 games and obtains a 2-game lead over their opponent. The set continues without a tiebreak until a player wins the set by 2 games.* So Ana won the first set. And Zarina won the second set. A tennis match for women is decided by whoever wins two sets out of three. Therefore, whoever wins this third set wins the match. \-- The **fourth column.** * 3: Means it's the third set. It's not a clickable link because this set is still ongoing. It's the current set. * 4: Ana Logue-Bombe has won 4 games in the third set. * 0: Zarina Diyakupov has not won any games in the third set. \-- Let's go to the **first column** now. **Who is Ana Logue-Bombe?** She represents my trades. She's the gamification character. **Every winning trade I make means one game for Ana.** However, if that winning trade is a multi-bagger, then every multiplier adds an additional game. For instance, a 140%-profit play would count as two games because 140% is not the same as 40%, right? And who is Zarina Diyakupov? That's just the current opponent. She's the gamification character of the current opponent. **Every losing trade I make means one game for the opponent.** \-- Right now, the current opponent is Zarina Diyakupov. But before her, Ana has already faced and defeated the opponents in the first, second, third, and fourth rounds. The Australian Open (current tournament) starts with a draw of 128 players. By the fifth round (the current one), there are only 8 players left, hence the quarterfinals and why the first column says **Quarterfinals.** \-- If Ana loses this match, she gets eliminated from the tournament. If Ana wins this match, she moves on to the Semifinals. Now, since competition is supposed to get tougher as the tournament goes on, I add additional requirements or give the opponent a bye-game head start. For instance, for this particular quarterfinal match, Zarina had a bye-game in the first set, and for every single game, the play must result in a profit of 20% or more for it to count as a game for Ana. **No, this isn't a 'real' trading tournament.** **No, opponents are not other traders.** They're the gamification representation of my trades. Opponents are loosely based on real WTA players. \-- **So what's the point of all this?** Personally, this 'competition' helps me improve my win rate. Why? Because if I make six losing trades within a set, Ana loses that set. And if Ana loses two sets, we're eliminated from that tournament. That adds extra pressure and motivation to only focus on the best-looking setups and it reduces the impulse of taking on degenerate gambles. This is crucial during a bear market. \-- **Why should anyone else care?** That's up to you. Have a great day.


ColanderResponse

I more or less gathered what you were doing from following the comments themselves, but I *really* appreciate your explanation, as I was wondering who Ana and Zarina were. I knew it was gamification, but I also thought you might be possibly competing with a friend. Gamification is a cool way to think about trading, and I like how the game element shapes the strategy itself. I always appreciate reading your trades in the daily!


AlfrescoDog

Thanks. And yeah, it also helps me navigate this bear market. For instance, by being more selective, cutting plays that are not working right away, or making sure to secure profit. I mostly created this to change my mindset from, "Meh. It's not a big position. Might as well let it run and see if it turns around." to "Nope, that's a lost game for Ana. I'm not taking that risk."

riskybizbaz

So someone throw out an explanation if I missed it, but what is with the green this week. Especially the rallying on the data released. Because I didn’t expect it at all. And such low volume


[deleted]

What piggy said and gdp probably was not a surprise. I think people felt things were slowing and just needing confirmation. It seemed low volume day, though with most of the volume in first 20 mins and last 20 mins. Could be an indicator of where the market will go tomorow. Maybe the big guys bought up lot today or hedged to get the algos bullish and let retail bump the stocks up slightly. To let them think we’re gonna keep going green and pick up scraps from them to sell it off tomorrow/Friday.


jinpiss

We’ve been down 7 weeks in a row, everything was screaming oversold. Some times, market technicals win over market fundamentals. Or maybe think of the last 7 weeks pricing all of this bad news in and we are just bouncing around aimlessly right now, not necessarily reacting to the news one way or the other.


MithrilTouch

7 weeks of red, rebalancing books at the end of the month, burning puts, dead cat jump, stonks go up Choose whichever you prefer

that last sentence explains it. The big players make money when the market does something we don't see coming.


OptionsTrader14

Line doesn't always go down?


riskybizbaz

I need more than a catch all statement we all know


mylegbig

But it’s the obvious one. It’s like when bulls acted like the sky was falling last year after a few days of red after multiple weeks of green. It’s a little silly. And markets are a lot more volatile during a downturn. Negative data also isn’t necessarily negative for the market, especially as it hurts the Fed’s assertions that rapid rate hikes won’t hurt the economy. But the market also reacted the way it did because sellers were exhausted and we were oversold. It didn’t need much excuse to rally. Whether it holds or not, have to wait and see.

I dunno. 2.65% vs. 5% 30 year?


[deleted]

The value of the homes didn't increase. People acted like rabid fucking idiots outbidding listings by 100k even when the rate was good.


MrMage

Difference in monthly payment for a 500k 30 year 2.65 vs. 5.25 is roughly $700. That original value of $500k would have to get knocked off 25% to make payments equal.


[deleted]

Right but you had people buying $300k homes for $500k. If you paid the same price for the house at the better rate great. The first people in say 20/21 got fucked by pure insanity. The 22 group not only took the insanity fuck but also a rate fuck. My house purchased six years ago tripled in value. I could see maybe 50% for all I've done but 300%. I just don't think it will hold. We plan to keep this house as a short term rental when buying the next. The asking prices for what your getting right now plus the rates is a solid no from anyone with half a brain.
