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!

This quick swing trade on AAPL was a textbook range breakout setup—straight from our 6 money-making patterns.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ AAPL broke above range highs, confirmed with a 60-min pullback
✅ Target: The height of the range = $10 move
✅ Executed with a long call option
✅ Bought for $13.60, closed at $19.25 in 6 days
✅ Final profit: 41.2% gain

A straightforward trade—breakout, pullback, profit. No stress, no drama, just following the system and letting the trade play out.

Not all trades go exactly to plan, but that doesn’t mean they have to be losers. The latest bullish move played out as expected, but the turnaround setup happened quickly, limiting my ability to close my positions at break-even or better.

Instead of taking an immediate loss, I deployed a bearish trade while managing the existing positions. By Monday, I was able to close out profitably, collecting gains of 58.8%, 9.6%, and 11.5% on three trades.

Key Takeaway? Unlike futures or long calls/puts, income trading allows flexibility—I only needed price to move 1 cent past my short strike to hit maximum gains. That’s why this system is a game-changer.

Not every trade can be a winner, and this one was a dud. Despite a tiny movement in the right direction, the strike selection was too deep in the money, leaving no opportunity to manage or roll the trade.

The trade setup:
✅ $15.25 credit received on a $30 wide broken wing butterfly
❌ Closed at max loss of $30, a -96.7% hit

With no break-even exit or rolling opportunity, the only move was to let it expire and take the loss. That’s trading – you take the wins and the lessons.
