The U.S. stock market recently celebrated the two-year anniversary of its bull market, with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching all-time highs.

$Mini Standard & Poor's 500 (.XSP.US)$ Hi@Investing with moomoo@Moomoo Lilywhen SPY is at 492 and SPY CALL is at 3.44. lets say i am keen to buy SPY Call option if SPY reaches 493 (which means the SPY Call may reach 4.20 to 4.40). And so i use a buy stop order on SPY CALL OPTION (see screenshot). question is, does this BSO get triggered by SPY’s price, or by SPY Call’s price?

Hi, thanks for the update. This method of tagging the stop order to the underlying instrument is correct for stocks, but it is incorrect for options. Options come with a high spread and delta, and the delta means that the stock’s price will never be 1:1 to the call option. So, the call option’s buy stop order should allow for an order based on the stock’s price, and not the option’s price. This is also how other option brokers provide the buy stop order! I hope I have not confused you by mentioning delta, but I have to highlight that the buy stop order based on a call option’s price is meaningless. It’s like giving me an umbrella in Thailand if it rains in Switzerland. That’s how useful a buy stop order based on the call option’s price will be, to someone who trades options based on the stock’s price movement. @Moo Options Explorer@Moo Live@Meta Moo@Moomoo Breakfast US@Moomoo Event@Mooers Radar@Moomoo Lily@Investing with moomoo@BullBullMoo@Nasdaq Composite Index@Popular on moomoo@To the Moo

It does to me. At least for chip companies that sell to China. And even chip suppliers that get their cheap rare earth inputs from China. But thus chip war has been ongoing for a long time. So I won't believe it until I see it.

Would like ask u something . What is the meaning of prepaid forward contract. Heard sone news about SoftBank arrangements if a prepaid forward contract on Alibaba shares at a price of 100hkd where they were paid estimated in actual 90plus hkd . Discount of 10 percent. There was also many brokers which took advantage of insider news before the earnings release. It was a big stake and furthermore the brokerage house were themselves shorting it down. Just to clarify the means of a prepaid forward contract . How oi affect prices. Thanks. Anyway tencent n Shanghai markets doing well but Alibaba is being manipulative currently .

Prepaid forward contract is something like paying upfront for securities at a certain price to provide liquidity for one reason or another. But you will get paid back later when you sell the shares. And you are guaranteed the price that you paid when you get your money back. The investment bank or the company needed some immediate cash so they make an agreement like this. It has some similar aspects to a reverse repurchase agreement and warranted shares redemption.
Friday the 13th - What can go wrong? Nothing and yet everything 😅 Since it’s a Friday, it means options will be expiring today. Don’t get caught off guard if we have a intraday wild swings, especially if your contracts are expiring today. To add on, today we will see a number of big financial institutions reporting their earnings. They could potentially provide some insight of the market and economy ahead.$JPMorgan (JPM.US)$$Citigroup (C.US)$$Wells Fargo & Co (WFC.US)$$Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLF.US)$$Spdr S&P Bank Etf (KBE.US)$
