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.

Another bear swing trade hits target, compounding into the second leg of this downward move—and there’s still plenty of room to go.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Standard bearish pulse bar entry after the previous breakdown.
✅ Part of my compounding strategy—adding into a winning move.

And with two profit targets hit today, I might just take a long St. Patrick’s Day weekend to celebrate!
