One Lazy Popper. Two ORB15s. 100% Calm, 100% ROC.
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Some days it’s about pushing buttons.
Some days it’s about letting the system push them for you.
And today? Today was the latter.
While SPX danced between Monday’s bullish breakout zone and the week’s prior gap fill, the rules did the work – and the premium did what premium does best.
We’re coming off a red-hot start to August (9 for 9 last week) and the systems continue to read the market with sniper-level clarity. The only question was: “Do we take the easy drip… or try to outsmart it?”
You already know the answer.

SPX Market Briefing:
We started the day with a position already on.
Trade 1 was a 1-DTE discretionary play placed Monday. It wasn’t mechanical, but it was high-conviction. Here’s why:
-
$ADD was screaming bullish extremes.
-
Price filled the recent gap.
-
It paused directly at the Bollinger midpoint.
The play? A BnB-style bear credit spread, collected $3.05, bought back at $0.30, and closed for a 90.2% ROC by the end of Tuesday. Clean. Confident. Mechanical in spirit, if not in form.
Then came Trade 2 – the first action after the opening bell. The Premium Popper (15-min ORB setup) triggered on schedule.
Entry fired at $1.25, but exited for $1.65 – a -$0.40 loss.
Not ideal, but we trade the system, not our feelings.
Minutes later, post-10 a.m. data, the second ORB15 entry fired.
This one collected $1.30 and exited at $0.65 – 50% ROC. Net result between the two = small overall win. System integrity maintained.
Finally, Trade 3 – the Lazy Popper (60-min ORB) did its usual thing:
-
Collected $5.00
-
Did nothing all day
-
Expired for 100% ROC
That’s the Premium Drip. That’s what this game is about.

When your system gives multiple options, let risk clarity pick your poison – not FOMO.
Rumour Has It…
Hazel was seen slow-clapping the Lazy Popper close on air, whispering:
“You just sat there… and got paid? I’m not even mad. That’s beautiful.”
Then she toasted the bears with a half-empty bottle of “Market Merlot” and logged off.
