Stay away from options trading. The chances of you actually making money is extremely low. Let me tell you why it's a scam
1) Options wad originally made for people to hedge their investments. So if you already own stocks and they lose value for whatever reason, options are there to save you
2) even if you guess right (buy a call if you expect price increase or a put for price decrease) you can STILL lose money if the options you bought lose volatility. Worse, if your options lose volume the price can drop over night
3) you're trading against money makers. The guys working at the NYSE see that you bought options and will trade opposite of you. Remember YOU are the liquidity for them.
> you're better off just investing in stocks long term. If you REALLY want to trade options I'd recommend LEAPS instead of regular options. Stay away from futures.
appreciate the advice - I already do a lot of long term investing; if I dabbled in this it wouldn't be any than spare change
That’s exactly why we have analysts calling plays for you. It’s not hard to follow if you stay disciplined. Don’t try to go solo—you’ll likely get wrecked. Also live SPY trading is 0DTE. We don't hold and pray. We do have swing plays, but it's all about day trading.
The risk with options is relatively low. Many of our members just buy 1 or 2 contracts, which usually costs around $300 max. And the upside? It’s huge. SPY and QQQ regularly see 300% moves in a single day. down 20% sell. up 20% scale. If you win more than you lose, you make money.
Sure, spotting those moves is tough if you don’t know what to look for. That’s why I’ll be posting daily results here—to show you the potential is real. Again, we have specialist calling plays. NEVER TRADE ALONE.
Personally, I make money trading and then use those profits to invest long term.
As someone who knows nothing of options, where is a good place to learn the fundamentals/101 on this stuff?
Explain to a breh. I'm down
The ammount of money you lose holding dead stocks for years "investing" is probably as bad as what you will lose trading options. If we factor in potential

I see. You're also at the mercy of random news like the Trump tarriffs flip flopping.
There are no guarantees in trading, but Bowie's win streak during power hour (3–4 PM EST) has been impressive. Just following his last few plays could’ve made you money.
The upside is huge during these reversals. For example, let’s say you buy 2 contracts at $100 each. You scale out quickly after a 20% gain and set a stop-loss at break-even. Worst case, you lock in a 20% profit if it pulls back. But if the trade keeps running, you can hold and exit when you're satisfied with the gains.
He hit a 335% winner at 3:55 PM EST today (i posted results above). To catch these late moves, make sure your broker allows late-day options trading. Just yesterday, he called a play that ran over 500%.
That said, he doesn’t win every time. His win rate is around 70–75%. So if you bet $200 on a trade that doesn’t work out, you might take about a 30% loss—he usually cuts the trade if it drops around that much. You need to understand your own risk tolerance. If trade didn't work out and you are risk tolerance is.
Also, there’s no need to be live to catch the plays. Here’s an example of what he alerted in his channel at 3:40 PM EST:
“ORB puts + 5-min put signal”
This means he was buying puts. If you’re using something like Robinhood, it’s simple—just find a put contract you’re comfortable with and buy it. Toward the end of the day, these are often cheap, typically under $1 per contract.
I recommend paper trading few weeks and see if you feel you can make money.
By the way, we still own you. Go ahead and continue enjoying that *championship.
Hes a regular in thecoli Boiler Room that discusses stocks. Hes as legit as you can get
Thecoli isnt a bunch of poor 18 year olds. And kids might know about options more than alot of adults lol. But for any kids in the peanut gallery,yes you can easily lose everything you invested quickly by trading options. My experience with options has mostly been horrible,but gambling is one of my few demons i have left to conquer. What better way to conquer them then by becoming succesful trading them
?If you dont want the risk,stocks are a much safer bet. Although you can die from a million cuts getting in and out of stocks too. My question to you is why are you suddenly worried about harm being done to people with all the negative content on this site people are viewing on the daily
?This just goes to show you value money over mental well being. I want you to sit with yourself on that as well. At least the intention here is positive whether some get burned or not. Thats unavoidable in any stock group
I do invest as well. My longs are doing well in my SEP-IRA. i won't touch it till 2040.
First this is me. I'm a small cap trader first, option 2nd.
I had zero loss today. I called this in the small cap chat. I know a thing or two about the price action. Every day, in the trading world, there's a battle between those who BUYS or SELLS. Yes, you can make money both ways. I won these plays today because I know how market psychology works. This is more advanced stuff, and I do not want you guys to follow me because it will take months of practice. You have to be super fast getting in and out. You need have hotkeys/buttons, so you can sell FULL in 1 second.
But option? especially following Bowie? You don't need that kind of technical skills.
Options are contracts that give you the right to buy or sell a stock at a specific price by a specific date. You're not buying the stock—you're buying the option to buy or sell it.
There are two types:
- Call = Bet the stock goes up.
- Put = Bet the stock goes down.
What the live SPY traders are doing is 0DTE.
0DTE stands for "Zero Days to Expiration."
That means you're trading options that expire today—and Bowie focuses on SPY and SPX, two of the most active tickers for day traders.
What is SPY?
SPY is an ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund) that tracks the S&P 500, which includes 500 of the largest U.S. companies—names like Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft. When you trade SPY, you're essentially trading the entire U.S. stock market in one move.
It's one of the most liquid and actively traded instruments in the world, especially for options. That’s why it’s so popular for 0DTE (zero days to expiration) trading—like what Bowie specializes in.
So How Do You Make Money?
Let’s say you’re not following anyone’s alerts—you’re going solo. How do you trade SPY?
- If the chart shows it’s trending up, you buy calls.
- If the chart shows it’s trending down, you buy puts.
It really can be that simple.
If you take time to learn the charts, you won’t need to rely on alerts—you become the one others follow.
But even more important than the chart is the candle.
Youtube EVERY SINGLE candlesticks video and memorize.
The foundation of all trading is understanding candlestick behavior.
Learn how candles form. Learn how they break. Learn how they trap.
Master the candles, and you master the game. After the candles then you get into chart patterns. Today QQQ had a nice flag pattern. bulls jumped on calls.

To answer your question- I believe in collaboration. Traders love to trade together. One of our tagline is 'never trade alone'.
I created discord to help noobs to take that next step.
This dude is so much better than I'm. I'm not worthy.
Power hour pays. This kid is special. Of course I wanna keep him around for good. Why wouldnt I?
I'll be swinging some calls now. I need some dips though. I need that 3-4% correction.
I'll let yall know if I'm buying anything. For now I'm holding googl, nke and teva calls. Only small runners left after massive gain.
One of our analyst says
He is a millionaire and he is very good. I'll keep those on my watch.
I always wanted to learn but never found a reliable source to learn. I will sign up and try to soak up the game
