Today’s SPX trade was almost a mirror image of yesterday’s.

Price stalled again at the 5425 GEX Flip – just as mapped in the morning analysis.
Trade was taken live during a 1-to-1 training call – real-time execution, real structure.
Same structure: 0DTE bear spread, premium collected = $3.00, buyback at $0.30.
Exit hit early afternoon – another 90% return, clean and simple.

If you didn’t catch it… let’s talk about why.

Found the trade live during today’s Fast Forward call.

Setup: Gap into 5400 – a long-watched GEX Flip level.
Confirmed with our “oh and…” analysis extras.
Took a 0DTE bear trade to avoid the volatility whiplash.
$3.00 premium collected, buy back target set at $0.30.
Trade hit target late afternoon – booked a clean 90% return.

Why it worked? Preparation, patience, process.

Today’s trade was based on the plan laid out in the morning:
– Sell rallies
– Bear pulse bars
– 10-min Tag n Turn setups
– GEX Assessment

Combined with GEX research I’ve been sharing in mentorship sessions.
Price looked ready to pin near 5400 into expiration.
I placed an OTM butterfly at 5400, 25% of normal risk.
Got a partial fill at $0.10.
Took profit at $2.25 before the close.

That’s a 2,150% gain.

Not luck – just structure, timing, and a touch of experimentation.

I Missed the Hedge, But Saved the Trade

Last week, I opened a bullish swing #1, expecting upside continuation.
Friday’s gap down and selloff came hard – and I missed the hedge entry.
I told the mentorship group I was distracted with other work – and by the time I looked, the move was done.
By Monday, price had returned to the same level – giving me a second shot to hedge.
I took it. And it paid.
The original bull swing expired worthless.
But the bear hedge returned $2.70 on $3.00, saving the day.

Total result: 14.89% net return on the combined trade structure.

The lesson? Missed trades happen – but the system gives second chances.

Opened a bearish pulse bar trade today.

Collected $3.00 in premium – set a buyback at $0.30.
Trade closed early afternoon for a 90% gain.
Pattern is playing out like clockwork – saw it on 28th Feb, and again today.
Rallies keep fizzling – same trap, same fade.

Key takeaway: Follow the pattern, ignore the hype.

I opened a bear swing trade around 20th March.

It immediately went against me by 100+ points.
No chance to hedge, so I left it alone – mentally written off.
I kept the exit order live anyway (as always).
Then Monday happened: gap down triggered my target.
Closed for a 90% win – $3.00 premium in, $0.30 exit.

Moral of the story? Don’t babysit every setup.
Stick to the plan. It ain’t over ‘til it’s over.
