Ahoy there Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
SPX may be the king of cash-settled options, but it’s not the only game in town.
The other indexes are starting to wake up, and I decided to test the waters on NDX (Nasdaq 100).
The result? A clean breakout, a fast move to target, and a 92.98% return. Simple, effective, and exactly how trading should be.
The only problem? NDX liquidity is still questionable at best, making fills a challenge. But when trades like this work, they work beautifully.
Let’s break it down.

Fun Fact
SPX may be the go-to for cash-settled options, but NDX is starting to gain traction. I decided to place a test trade—and while the setup worked perfectly, the real challenge was liquidity. Getting filled on NDX isn’t easy, and since this trade, I haven’t been able to execute another one—but that’s a story for another day.
The Trade Setup – Classic Range Breakout & Pullback
- ✅ One of my 6 money-making patterns
- ✅ A clean breakout from range highs
- ✅ A textbook pullback to confirm the breakout level
- ✅ Target projected based on the range height
With the setup in place, I executed a simple income trade, collecting $14.25 in credit on entry. The move played out perfectly, smashing through breakout targets within days for a fast directional push.
The Execution – Entry, Target, Exit
- ✅ Trade placed with $14.25 credit collected
- ✅ Fast breakout move → Trade exited for $1.00
- ✅ Final return: 92.98%
This is how trading should be—get in, hit the target, get out. No messy adjustments, no over-management, just a clean setup and execution.
The Only Downside? Liquidity Issues
Despite this trade working flawlessly, getting filled on NDX remains a challenge. Since this trade, I haven’t been able to execute another one—which is frustrating, because I’d love to trade this index more often.
Final Takeaways:
- ✅ NDX trades can be highly profitable when executed correctly
- ✅ Breakout setups remain one of the strongest trading patterns
- ✅ Liquidity remains an issue—so it’s not a replacement for SPX just yet
For now, I’ll keep watching for the next opportunity and hoping for better fills.
Happy trading,
Phil
