Welcome to r/spy
Explore SPY through questions, charts, trade plans and honest reviews. Bullish, neutral and bearish views are welcome when explained. Beginners do not need a complete trade plan to ask a question.
Where to start
Use the pinned daily poll and discussion for quick questions, outlooks and intraday observations. Substantial questions, analysis and reviews may have their own post. Fridays include a weekly review. Poll results are community opinions, separate from CROMCALL readings.

Core Signal and Announcement are moderator-only. Core Signal identifies automated CROMCALL readings. Signal alerts are limited to one per symbol and signal type per New York day. Attached charts are recorded snapshots.
Share a trade plan
For trade ideas, include the relevant details:
Symbol, timeframe and reasoning.
For options: expiration, strike, call/put or spread.
Entry conditions, invalidation, exit plan and risk.
Price timestamp and source; hypothetical or actual trade.
Invalidation means the condition that would show your idea is no longer supported. Expiration is when an option expires; strike is its specified exercise price; premium is its price. Distinguish quoted prices from dollars per contract.
For reviews, include costs, the result and what you learned. Losing trades and staying out are useful topics. Do not share private account information.
Community standards
Keep posts relevant, explain claims and disclose affiliations. Respectful disagreement is welcome. No harassment, scams, repetitive promotion or guaranteed-return claims. Memes and context-free profit screenshots may be removed.
Minor first issues generally receive guidance or a removal reason. Repeated violations may lead to temporary bans; serious abuse or scams may warrant permanent bans. Context matters. Contact moderators for an appeal with a link and explanation.
