• Continued from yesterday’s bullish 5600 bias – minor bear setup dismissed.
• FOMC = non-event, no volatility surprise.
• Added to existing swing trade and took a B&B credit spread at BB lows.
• Price gapped up, held, and broke out clean to upper Bollinger Band.
• Trade exited post-lunch at $0.10 from $5.45 credit = 98.2% ROC.
• Structure held, system executed, result delivered.
• This was the plan in motion, from pinch to breakout.
• 5600 marked key support via GEX flip point + Bollinger tag.
• No bearish pulse bars → bullish-to-neutral bias confirmed.
• Broken wing butterfly placed with 1 DTE, collected $5.05 credit.
• Auto buy-back at $0.10 triggered post-FOMC.
• No adjustments. No stress. ROC = 98.1%.
• Another clean “bish bash bosh” execution of the plan.
• Lesson: Simplicity pays when setup, risk, and rules align.
TLDR
Bullish pulse bar fired early, even with bearish Tag present
Took the mechanical setup, structured as 1-DTE broken wing butterfly
Entered mid-day, collected $5 premium ahead of NFP release
SPX gapped up and ran – exited for 80% of credit in a few hours
Still operating on bullish swing logic, but now watching for bearish Turn
Another strong system-led win, even amid news
Powered down for the week – system holds, profit booked
...TLDR:
Stripped charts to pure Tag n Turn mechanical structure
Bullish setup triggered just after open on 30 April
Executed a 1-DTE broken wing butterfly, OTM, collected $5.00
Exited next morning on rally for $0.10 debit – net 98% ROC
Strategy offered ample wiggle room – trade would’ve survived a 100-point drop
A reminder that simple + mechanical still outperforms
Viva the income trade. Viva the process.
...TLDR
30-min bear pulse bar setup triggered at open
Executed a 0-DTE option trade: $3 credit / $2 risk
Price reversed, forming a new bullish Tag n Turn swing
Bear day trade = max loss
Swing setup = small profit
Net result = system still profitable
No mistakes made – just part of the mechanical edge
Process over outcome – and this trade affirms it
...Came in bullish – mechanical system fired a bearish pulse bar after first bar.
Mechanical “Tag ‘n Turn” setup confirmed on 10-min too.
Bullish exit level from morning analysis flipped into bull swing – bonus talk later.
Got positive slippage – an extra 10¢ credit ($3.10 total).
Exit hit around lunch while enjoying some Downton Abbey reruns.
Another clean system trade – textbook mechanical profit.
