Another zero-day profit locked in on a small bearish breakdown, proving once again why income trading beats chasing big directional moves.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Bearish breakdown trade executed as planned
✅ Day trade produced a slow, steady result
✅ Swing trade still playing out, plenty of potential left

Trade Execution:
✅ $3.00 collected in premium
✅ Bought back for $0.30, locking in a 90% return
✅ Didn’t need a big move—just smart positioning

Why This Matters:
✅ Had this been a long put or short stock, it likely would’ve lost money
✅ Instead, we hit max profit expectations—again!
✅ Now watching for the next opportunity to reload this week

This is why income trading works—profits without needing big swings.

Even when the market didn’t cooperate, the SPX Income System still produced a 23.9% gain.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Bullish trade entered on 28th Feb via Tag ‘n Turn setup
✅ Bullish hedge trigger breached on 3rd March, activating the hedge
✅ Both levels discussed live in Fast Forward Group calls & blog

Trade Performance:
✅ Bullish trade: Collected $2.50 on 16 lots – expiring for a loss
✅ Bearish hedge: Collected $3.00 on 25 lots – bought back for $0.30
✅ Net result: A 23.9% gain despite choppy market conditions

Key Takeaway:
✅ Even when the original trade setup failed, the hedge turned it into a win

More updates coming as the bullish add-in & hedge close out.

This was the final trade to exit but was actually the third to be placed in the bearish swing sequence. Unlike the previous set-and-forget trades, this one required some hands-on management as price turned 15 points before the breakout target.

Trade Breakdown:
✅ Bear trade placed as part of the broader bearish swing
✅ Managed exit manually as bullish pulse bars & a V-shaped reversal formed
✅ Initial credit received: $3.00
✅ Bought back for $1.40, locking in a 53.3% return
✅ Exited as a part of the Friday turnaround, positioning for the bullish swing

While everyone else was panicking, we were picking our spot, managing risk, and waiting for the next opportunity—exactly how a systematic trader operates.

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.
