This trade was #4 in order of adding in, but due to its shorter expiration, it closed before trade #3.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Bearish breakout pullback setup – a textbook entry
✅ Confirmed by continued bearish pulse bars
✅ Collected $3.00 in credit on entry
✅ Exited for $0.30, locking in a 90.0% return
✅ While this trade hit target, I was watching a Eurofighter jet perform low-level passes over Lake Windermere

This is exactly how trading should be—profits rolling in while enjoying the view.

This trade was a simple add-in to the previous bear swing trade, taking advantage of bearish pulse bars as price moved from range highs to range lows.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Bearish pulse bars confirmed a continuation entry
✅ Collected $3.00 in credit on entry
✅ Trade moved quickly in favour, exited for $0.30
✅ Final return: 90.0%

A textbook execution of a well-planned trade, proving once again that following the system delivers consistent profits.

This was the first of four bearish swing trades I was eventually able to add into. Using the failed breakout trigger and the bull hedge setup from earlier, I entered the bearish program as price re-entered the range, with the goal of seeing a move from range highs to range lows.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Bearish breakdown confirmed – price hugged the lower Bollinger Band
✅ Held off on bullish entries, waiting for pulse bars & V-shaped reaction
✅ Collected $3.05 in credit on entry
✅ Bought back for $0.30, locking in a 90.2% return
✅ All while enjoying a few days away in The Lakes for my wedding anniversary

This trade was as simple as it gets—entry, target, exit, profit.

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!
