I always check the calendar before making a trading decision. Save this one below and a few other tables I recently posted for future reference. You cannot use the information in isolation but in combination with other data, this stuff can be very useful for making short-term trade decisions. I am currently up almost 575K since going YOLO in my options account on short-term QQQ and big 7 PUTS since last Thursday, June 20th – you were warned. Despite still thinking that QQQ gap at 469 will close, I am now down to just 30% of my PUTS position now since it's no use being too greedy. I still want that cool mill on the trade, so I am not closing just yet, but I have my trailing stops now in place to protect, hedges and all house money now and more. Good luck to all.
One of the worst seven day periods of the year.

Table looks like you copied it from 1985 so checks out ![img](emote|t5_2th52|27189)
The worst, yet ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
Interesting table. The first two weeks corresponded to SPY’s movement in 2023 but the third and fourth didn’t. This week seems to be following the pattern again. Idk what to say. Guess I’ll just keep buying. 🤷🏻♂️
Post your positions
Show me the best 10
Ya man I will just take your word on your imaginary gains
Do one for 10 best weeks
Agreed, do one for best 10 weeks!
Gains or ban
Now what are the best weeks?
Positions or gtfo.
Your post last week said mag7 puts in addition to Qs.
You significantly overweighted nvda puts or you made a massive gamble and aren’t sharing your losses on the rest of the Mag7 that didn’t sell off from Wednesday.
Fuck. I wish you posted this earlier. I knew today and Wednesday are bad days for trading, but didn’t think the entire week was bad. Picked a terrible time to buy calls for tomorrow.
Hey do you have a chart similar to the one below that shows average daily performance of market over past 30+ years by date?

The one I linked here seems a little off from what I’ve seen before.
People make fun of girls for making decisions based on the formations of stars then do this shit
Me and you have the same mind process. I’ve been garnering a ton of data which shows August/September/October period are the worst performing months historically. More specificallu, the 2nd and 3rd weeks are the worse. Because of the end of the month affect— the last 4 days and first 4 days of the month tend to fair better. I have massive puts ready to unleash after the first 4 days of September passes.
what about the ten best week of the year?
Lisan Al Gaib 😳
Wild all the hate dude got when he could’ve just posted his positions and made everyone stfu but he didn’t.
Makes you think……. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|31224)
I’ve had the two best days of the year the last two days. Was like a 60pt 5M ATR today for the first 45 minutes. Insane movements. Clean, no chop. I probably left 150pts on the table and still killed it.
The stars and planets alignments also says it’s not a good time
i appreciate your post. i remember you posted the same thing for June 20-21 so i was super careful and it paid off. thanks again
Post your positions or stfu.
Op is regarded ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4267)
Was this in the old farmer’s almanac?
Bro post the gain porn…
So July 24 but NVDA calls, got it 👍
Where was this post a couple weeks ago?!?!
Thank you for your post and for sharing. 👍
Wish I had seen this before I 10xed my position on nvidia last week
Sell in may & go away
So basically every third week of the month is red???
I call it BS. Just with the W/L ratios you can see your chances are very slim. Your averages don’t mean anything either with such ratios. I would say, coincidentally you have a negative return, which is probably how the “best” are arranged.
Backtest request.
This is incredible thank you so much! This is perfect to combine with trading/reacting to upcoming events. If I had seen this a week ago I would’ve bought Puts on NVDA on Friday without a doubt. I love probabilities, historical averages really do give an edge imo
Pack it up boys hell for the rest of the yr
Classic calendar DD
Spy hit ath a few days ago. What even is this
Any thoughts on SQQQ calls expiring in the late summer?
I’m up $5.8 million in one day going long SPX so I am more smart than you. – warned.
I bought nvda calls on Wednesday after not doing it for months. Now you know.
