At what point / money pool are you trading options? Is it after you’ve maxed 401k/Roth and options trading is the extra savings going to brokerage account? Or have you not maxed and going straight to brokerage?

I stopped my 401k contributions this week. Temporary hold. I’m forfeiting a very small portion of my employer contribution due to this but it’s because I fully expect the market decline to make me lose that and more anyway. I intend to double/triple my contribution rate on a dip lower to make up what I’m foregoing in the short term.

Yep

I see 401K as a long game and don’t touch the contribution levels regardless of economy.

On the other hand IRA sees a lot of options activity due to tax benefits. So max it out early.

I have maxed out 401k and Roth. Took many years to get to this point. All extra money goes to brokerage accounts that I have a mix of long holdings and options. I also do covered calls in my Roth.

(2 years into career - $63k) My point in asking is that with my budget I’ve only contributed to meet pwc match for 401k and have the Roth maxed out all going to S&P. I feel like I don’t have the extra capital to trade options yet. My plan was to continue to contribute higher % to 401k as my salary increases until that’s eventually maxed. Then, the rest going to my brokerage and getting creative. That plan now seems like it’ll take too much time and I’m missing out on getting that trading experience. Just trying to gauge differing mindsets on this.

Friday was complicated. So, I am going to break it down. Nasdaq 100 Futures (NQ) traded to the 9837 level, 32.75 points short of it's 50% HWB short. It then proceeded to sell off like nobody's business to 9846.50, 31.5 points higher than the projected objective for the HWB short. So, if you followed me on the channel, we were positioned for a nice rally at the end of the day. Markets have no memory on Friday afternoon. So, I think we are going up eventually and rally hard.

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month

3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place
