2 Premium Poppers fired whilst Santa Rally remained MIA
VWAP + ORB20 setups combine for 148% ROC on a $7 sideways grind
Futures traders would be bored or stopped out – premium sellers went to dinner
RUT stats: 95.3% win rate (61/64) in last 30 days

RUT bear swing setup quietly appeared while everyone banged on about Santa Rally
“Setup is the setup” – followed system despite expecting bullish flip
$43 move through Christmas delivers 95% ROC – bought back for 30c
Santa Rally failing to call = bearish omen for 2026 (and richer premiums to pop)

Out at charity event during US trading session – checked phone at 9:55
RUT Premium Popper placed with stops and targets – back to pinot and nibbles
~1 pinot and 3 salmon thingies later – bingly bong – target hit at 59% ROC
Check in – check for trades – check out – that’s how trading should be

Premium Popper filtered with breakout pullback from Friday’s larger range structure
SPX flatlined for 50 minutes after entry – zero directional movement
Premium popped anyway – profitable exit triggered at 54.5% ROC
Futures traders with same setup got Sweet Fanny Adams – we got paid

Two classic ORB20 setups – both above 2 day VWAP for added directional bias bonus
Nice quick breaks – nice quick moves – textbook execution
No stress no fuss – fast move – fast profits
SPX 54.5% ROC + RUT 50% ROC = 104.5% combined – wish they were all like this

Late entry due to phone calls – but price resting below ORB20 so still valid
SPX remained underwater for hours – probably longest duration Premium Popper all year
Stop loss intact – theta decay doing its work whilst trade not moving right way
Option slowly collecting pennies – 56.5% ROC achieved – love getting paid even when wrong
