Not every trade goes according to plan, but a strong process makes all the difference.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Bullish breakout trade stalled & reversed the next day
✅ Bear trigger activated – hedge trade taken
✅ Bull swing collected $2.50 per contract (16 lots)
✅ Hedge trade collected $2.60 per contract (20 lots)
✅ Final result: Slightly better than breakeven with an 11.8% return

This trade was a great example of why entry triggers AND exit/hedging triggers matter.

Even though the original trade failed, risk management turned it into a small win instead of a loss.

Another NDX trade, another fast and easy win—this time, an add-in trade to the previous breakout setup.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Setup: A simple pullback entry, continuing the breakout trend
✅ Collected $11.20 in credit on entry
✅ A quick drop sent the trade to target in just a few days
✅ Exited for $1.00, locking in a 91.1% return
✅ Happily managed while I was off enjoying The Lakes for my anniversary

It’s great to finally see some liquidity on NDX, and I can’t wait for more volume to make getting filled this index even smoother.

NDX may not have great liquidity, but this test trade worked out perfectly.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Classic range breakout & pullback setup – one of my 6 money-making patterns
✅ Collected $14.25 in credit on an income trade
✅ NDX smashed through breakout targets in days
✅ Closed for $1.00, locking in a 92.98% return

Simple setup, perfect execution, fast profits. If only NDX liquidity was better, I’d be trading this more often!

What started as a normal bearish range reversal trade quickly turned into a fat-fingered rollercoaster ride, complete with a ghost order, a flood of fills, and an unexpected but very welcome profit.

The Trade Breakdown:
✅ Trade #1 – Collected $3.00 on 22 lots, expired
✅ Trade #2 – Collected $4.30 on 45 lots, closed at 45c for a profit
✅ Trade #3 – Collected $4.50 on 50 lots, closed at 45c for a profit

Final Results:
✅ 68.8% return on capital
✅ No duplicate orders to cancel—just a ghost trade that filled
✅ A totally unrelated (but record-breaking) new blood pressure high score

Even accidents can be profitable—as long as you follow a system that doesn’t require you to be right all the time.

Rolling a losing trade into a winner isn’t something I always do, but when my directional bias remains intact, it can be a powerful tool.

The Trade Breakdown:
✅ Trade #1 – Collected $3.30 on 22 lots, expired with a -$1.70 loss
✅ Trade #2 – Collected $3.60 on 30 lots, expired with a -$1.40 loss
✅ Trade #3 – Collected $4.00 on 40 lots, closed at $0.30, producing an overall profit

Key Takeaways:
✅ Rolling isn’t infinite – I only do it if my market view aligns
✅ Time is my advantage – No traditional stop-outs means I can weather market moves
✅ Final result? A 20.1% return on capital despite the initial losses

This is why I love the SPX Income System—directional precision isn’t required to profit consistently.

This 1-day trade was a hedge against an ongoing bullish breakout trade that decided to pull a U-turn.

The Trade Setup:
✅ $3.10 premium collected
✅ 1-DTE trade instead of the same expiration as the bullish trade
✅ Closed the next day for $0.50
✅ Final return: 83.9% profit

The bullish trade is still active, so the next update will depend on how that plays out. Either way—this hedge trade locked in a win!
