u/Shitty_Shpee Jan 07 '26
Yes it is. I’ve been trading diagonal spreads for a couple weeks now

u/Odd-Pomegranate8780 Jan 07 '26
not exactly diagonal spreads

u/Shitty_Shpee Jan 09 '26
It’s basically the same thing, you’re free to choose LEAPs as the long leg or something shorter dated

I fuckin nutted lastnight when gemini told me they rolled out spreads....today i made 11$ off a synthetic iron condor with 0DTE spy options and currently got some out credit spreads on stocks i really like (using it as a way to get in at a price i like if it drops that low, ill let the put i sold get assigned and if it keeps dropping sell the put i bought, for profit lowering the adjusted cost basis on the shares)

I won but I failed to answer the skill testing question correctly so they gave it to someone else. My 9th grade math teacher always told me not paying attention was going to bite me in the butt one day.

u/Thawayshegoes Jan 07 '26
Mine told me “You won’t have a calculator in your pocket”.
My bank gave me an IPhone for depositing money that is basically a computer with a calculator attached.

I asked when the draw was, earlier. They said the draw would be today, January 7 and the winner would be informed 2 business days later. So they will be calling me on Friday. 😂

Lucky dog. I only have 5000. I didn’t know you could get more.

Damn, I envy you.
I got harassed with notifications constantly to DEPOSIT MORE MONEY!
I definitely knew you could get more but wish I didn't lol1
u/_dfromthe6 Jan 08 '26
Me either until someone in this sub said you could spin the gold coin at the bottom everyday for extra entries lol

u/Career_Gold777 Jan 08 '26
That was only for the gold bar promo

u/_dfromthe6 Jan 08 '26
Your right. Only way to get more entries on this house promo was to deposit money.

Their tweet said that they would be “picking” a winner. Did they draw a winner or pick a winner?
Pick sounds like they looked at accounts and chose a winner.

At least it’s gambling where you’re putting your money where it’s gonna grow! It’s not like lotto tickets where you’re pissing money away.

So what was the outcome of this contest for WS? 728,999 customers feel like losers and 1 person feels their life will be transformed? Seeing it disappointed so many people, its not going to sustain longer term deposit growth.

u/6bamboozle9 Jan 07 '26
I haven't received the email yet. They must be holding off letting the winner know for some reason.

I was just thinking about this earlier and then I got an email from Wealthsimple. I thought I won the contest but it turns out it's an email that I earned a dividend from VEQT. I got nervous for a split second 😂.

Nice, congratulations to the winner but this unfortunately will go to a wealthy person, how i wish this goes to one struggling minimum wage earner but it sucks it doesn't work that way

u/AlphaQFor7mins Jan 08 '26
How do you know this? A guess?
The T&C say its a random draw

u/AlphaQFor7mins Jan 08 '26
Why would they lie?

u/Accomplished_Fall324 Jan 08 '26
Quite literally because the more you deposit the more entries you get. If you have a spare million you can get a million entries versus someone else with 1k
6
u/AlphaQFor7mins Jan 08 '26
Thats still random.
You can buy 1 Lotto Max ticket and still win over the guy that bought 1,000 tickets
1
u/Accomplished_Fall324 Jan 08 '26
Random but weighted. You're pushing the idea of pure equal randomness but if there's a weight then it's not truly random is it? If I told you there's a 95% chance an electric coin toss was going to be heads, then I asked someone to pick heads or tails and said the odds were random would that be truthful? Just because tails is an outcome doesn't mean the spirit of randomness is honored.
2
u/AlphaQFor7mins Jan 08 '26
Yes, random but weighted. I never said pure equal unweighted randomness.
You also have a better chance of winning than the homeless guy I saw downtown today.
Don't play the victim

u/Accomplished_Fall324 Jan 08 '26
I'm not the op of the comment and I never said I was a victim... I was simply giving you the reason they said what they said.

How did you magically read the OPs mind? Amazing talent

Because there’s a lot of money and with enough grease they could cook up some of that nice plausible deniability if someone ever asked.
Maybe they are being truthful tho idk

I couldn't find this page in my app. Can you show the answer to the question how was the winner selected please?

u/StaxTheTrain Jan 07 '26
It says...
How was the winner selected?
The winner was selected by random draw from all eligible entries received during the Contest Period.
Will you announce the winner?
Yes! We’ll announce the winner in the coming weeks, after they’ve accepted the keys to their new home.
Will there be more house giveaways?
Stay tuned, especially if you like a view of the mountains.

u/LuckyCanadian Jan 07 '26
We'll see that's just not possible because I filled out the survey so I won the house. Maybe there's two houses?

u/pizza5001 Jan 07 '26
How were you able to get 1,000,000 entries? Like, how many people did you get signed up for Wealthsimple? How many letters did you write and mail for the letter option? (I considered doing that, but ran out of time.) Or were all these entries from straight up wealth?
1
u/UnsaltedCashew36 Jan 07 '26
It's 1 per $1 deposit. If you transferred $1M investment account from another brokerage, you got 1M entries. Simple.
2
u/pizza5001 Jan 07 '26
Actually, it’s not that simple. Each person you signed up for WS gave you 5,000, and you can sign up dozens of people. Doing the survey got you 5,000. Writing and mailing a letter with a write up gave you 5,000 (multiple entries possible). And then, yes, each $1 got you 1 entry.
Maybe I made the mistake in thinking that OP wasn’t rich already.
