ETFap = ETF Advantage Play: math-based tools for crypto ETFs, SPY and QQQ.

What this site is

ETFap (ETF Advantage Play) is a free site of math-based tools for crypto ETF, SPY and QQQ traders. Right now it has:

Crypto ETF list and coins-per-share calculator: how much bitcoin, ether, SOL or XRP each share of every US spot crypto ETF holds.
Fee comparison: which bitcoin and ether ETFs cost least, and how much coin the fee takes over 10 years.
The Buy the Dip App: ten-step plans to buy SPY, QQQ or IBIT on the way down, set from each one’s real bear markets, with its 1-year IV Rank.
Options trade ideas: worked examples of cash-secured puts and put spreads on IBIT, with the math shown.

More tools are added regularly. See all tools.

The advantage-play approach

I’m a professional casino advantage player. In March 2018 I learned to count cards through Blackjack Apprenticeship, then quickly moved beyond counting into more advanced advantage plays. I started with a $7,000 bankroll and grew it to seven figures.

“Advantage play” means making decisions from the math instead of from hunches. You know the real odds and the real cost, and you only take a bet when the expected value is on your side.

I’ve traded options part time since 2010. Today the roles have swapped: options trading is my full-time work, and casino advantage play is part time. The same habits that work at the tables carry straight into my trading and into every tool on ETFap: measure the edge, size every bet so no single loss can knock you out, and walk away when the odds turn.

That means showing the actual numbers, like coins per share, fee drag and model expectations, and being plain about uncertainty and risk. It does not mean any strategy here is guaranteed to win.

Where the data comes from

Coins-per-share figures come from each fund issuer’s own website or holdings file and are refreshed once per trading day. Every figure shows its as-of date, a link to its source, and a label saying how it was checked. Live coin prices come from Coinbase, with CoinGecko as a backup. See every source and method.
