DAY TRADING SPY OPTIONS: WHAT IS AN ETF ?

SPY, QQQ and DIA Top 10 Holdings

For Option Trading beginners, SPY is the market biggest Exchange Traded Fund (ETF).

It is a mix of 500 of the most important US companies.

It aims to capture the heartbeat of the overall market.

Other ETFs are more focused on specific sectors of industries.

Below are the three big ETFS that leads the US markets: SPY, QQQ and DIA.

This means that these are the ones you will hear the media report on when talking about the status of the market.

Day Trading SPY Options For 100% Profit - SPY, QQQ and DIA ETFs and their Top 10 Holdings Analysis
Table of three US Major ETFS: SPY, QQQ and DIA and their Top 10 Holdings

When the overall market is bullish, SPY trades in the positive territory and vice versa.

We can notice a company like Apple account for 4.2% of  SPY, 11.6% of QQQ and 6.2% of DIA.

Why is this important ?

APPL Vs SPY ETF Correlation

This means that whenever Apple stock (Ticker:AAPL) is leaning heavily in a certain direction, so will these three ETFs.

More particularly the one where Apple’s representation is the highest. That will be QQQ.

The reverse of the above statement is even more true.

Nowadays, ETFs have become the primary vehicle on how money is injected and removed from the market.

I  know this through the heavy volumes of trade I see on FlowAlgo everyday.

So, whenever SPY, QQQ and to a smaller extend DIA are being bought by big money, the lion share of that money will go to the stocks with the biggest representation in these ETFs.

What does this mean ?

Which Stocks Move SPY The Most ?

Let’s use SPY as an example.

Every time SPY is bought for “X” millions,  per the chart above, 4.3% of that goes into buying Microsoft stock (Ticker: MSFT).

Following that logic, almost 4.2% of that will be devoted to buying Apple stock while 2.9% will go into buying Amazon stock.

The impact of this reality is that only a handful of stocks really move the market.

Those stocks are the ones you see in the tables in the last column percentage assets.

As a consequence, a strong correlation always exists between these ETFs and their stocks with highest percentage assets.

Let me leave you with this recent headline from Yahoo Finance.

Headline from Yahoo finance in How To Trade SPY for 100% Profit Article: Apple and Microsoft accounted for almost 9 percent of Standard and Poor gains since 2009
Apple and Microsoft accounted for almost 9 percent of Standard and Poor gains since 2009

The truth is that I did not have that info from Yahoo Finance when I started this post 😂.

Funny how this information just perfectly matches the content of this section.

Correlation between AAPL and SPY

A correlation study between Apple and SPY or QQQ is bound to be very high.

Similarly, the correlation coefficient between Boeing (Ticker:BA) and DIA should be above 0.7.

If you are not familiar with Correlations studies, no worry.

When in a hurry, I usually like to use this online tool for correlation analysis.

But, it is limited because it only works for stocks and not ETFs.

To remedy that, I also perform the analysis manually.

I will be publishing a Video Tutorial on how to generate Correlation studies between stocks and ETFs in the near future.

We were able not to fall prey to any of the two and waited for the right moment to partake into the trade below.

After the long holiday weekend, trading resumed on Monday Dec 2 2019 with a small gap up.

Spy opened the pre-market session at $315 from $314.60 close on November 29, 2019.

By the opening Bell, SPY was trading at $314.59.

So, a really flat open from previous close was our setup.

Day Trading SPY Options Strategy: Entrance Criteria

We have not traded SPY for options in a long time.

Reason For the Trade

So we needed strong confirmation that this trade was worthwhile.

We discussed in The Stock Whisperer App review about the importance of Dark Pool.

Dark Pool helps traders determine the overall direction of the market (and other securities) so that we can enter the appropriate trades.

Well, on Monday, December 2, 2019, after 15 minutes, SPY felt below a major support level of 314.4.

As shown on the below Daily Dark Pool Whisper sent by Stephanie Kammerman before the Open of the market, it was time to take a bearish trade.

Sometimes,  the publisher of The Stock Whisperer uses the SPY Stocktwits when her App is going through upgrades.

She is able to leverage the popularity of SPY in Stocktwists to further increase the reach of her services.

We entered the bearish trade with a simple Put.

Confirmation of The Trade

The second confirmation for taking this trade came from the DAX at -0.7%

We shared a while back how we like to monitor correlation between the US markets and international markets.

We do this using the Investing.com mobile App.

Here you can find the daily correlations between SPY and DAX the German index,  for each year, from 2016 to 2019 included.

During US pre-market on Monday, the DAX broke below recent major support.

It was trading well in the red at around -0.7% after a sharp reversal from earlier gains.

  1. Wow. This article shows me how much I have to learn before placing any money in the stock market. I’m going to have to do more research on the dark pool, Jason Strimpel tool, and the StockWhisperer app. You really know what you’re doing in the video you shared. I had a rough time following it. I’m sure as I get better at analyzing graphs and charts and listening to stock market news, I’ll be able to make a delicate start. Thank you for sharing your research.

  2. Thank you for your post. It is another inspirational trade. Within minutes, you could double your money. You have such powerful weapon to gain your financial freedom.

    I am excited about the potential opportunity, but I have never had any experience on option trading, though I have been trading stocks for many years. My focus is on ETF. Instead of trading, I would say that I am an long-term investor, since I hold my ETF for years. Comparing to your option trading, my ETF trading is a very slow process.

    I would like to read book on option trading and to gain some basic knowledge on it. Do you have book to recommend for me to read?

    It is kind of you sharing your live option trading with us, which stimulates my interest to pursue the potential opportunity.

  3. Hi! I learnt a lot from this trade. I would be willing to accept volatility and would have waited longer. But I also admit that that could be the inexperience way of dealing with trades. The pros usually follow a script were the main goal is not to make the maximum on each trade but to consistently turn positive numbers at the end of the day having gone through many trades.

      Traders have this saying: “You cannot go broke taking profits”.

      this means that as long as you have winning trades, leaving some money on the table is something that can be corrected with experience as you mentioned.
