Two Setups. Zero Guesswork. One Distracted Coder.
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
As per this morning mornings briefing we were waiting for Tag n Turn setup, Premium Popper setup, and Lazy Popper setup – we got them.
…and apparently, reading candle closes while elbows-deep in code isn’t ideal…
Because yours truly misread the 15-min bar on the Premium Popper this morning and got all excited about a setup that… wasn’t.
Turns out, the candle closed dead centre in the opening range – aka: no trade, genius.
BUT… five minutes later?
The 20-min bar closes in the bottom 40% like a good little setup, and boom – we’re officially in, despite being already in!
Trade on. No stress. Still profitable.
That’s the beauty of rules – they don’t care if I’m distracted or caffeinated.
They just wait. Then work.
And if that wasn’t enough, Lazy Popper chimed in after lunch, casually dropping a near 100% ROC like it’s just doing its job.
So yeah – two trades, two wins, one misfire dodged by the rules.
Let’s dig in.
You can’t fudge the rules – but you can change the chart.
SPX Isn’t Random. It’s a Paycheque Waiting to Be Claimed.
Zero-day options + pulse bar = fast cash, low stress.
SPX DeBriefing: TWO MECHANICAL TRADES. TWO WINS. ONE HAPPY OPS ROOM.
We’re not here to guess.
We’re here to pop premium.
And that’s exactly what we did.
Twice.
Trade #1 – Premium Popper (20-min variant)
Right off the opening bell, I was elbows deep coding the Premium Popper Pro update when the setup fired.
The 15-min bar closed mid-range, so technically… no trade. Ooops!
But the 20-min bar closed in the bottom 40%, giving us the green light. I took it and now officially in, despite being already in!
-
Premium In: $1.20
-
Buy Back: $0.60
-
ROC: 50%
-
Exit Time: ~30 min
-
Bias: Bearish
-
Outcome: Mechanically managed, no stress, no second-guessing.
Quick Note
Remember: It’s not about being early – it’s about being correct. That extra 5 minutes flipped the logic from “no setup” to “go setup”.
Know the rules, and stick to them.
☕ Trade #2 – Lazy Popper (ORB60)
While trade #1 was cooling off, the Lazy Popper was heating up.
At 10:30am EST, the ORB60 setup triggered – bearish bias confirmed, and the chart did exactly what the tool suggested it might.
Fast forward to just after 2pm EST, and I was done for the day:
-
Premium In: $5.00
-
Buy Back: $0.10
-
ROC: 98.0%
-
Bias: Bearish
-
Outcome: Textbook execution – slow drift, fast profit with a direction move. and out just after lunch.
It’s always satisfying to exit in the afternoon knowing you didn’t chase a single candle – you just followed the plan.
Final Thoughts
Two trades. Two clean results. No guesswork. No what-ifs.
Just structure, probabilities, and mechanical execution.
This is why the SPX Income System works – because the system trades. We just follow it.
Expert Insights:
When 15 Minutes Say No, Try 20.
Premium Popper setups rely on candle closes to qualify breakouts.
-
If the 15-min candle closes inside the middle 20%, it’s a “no-go” – too neutral.
-
But the 20-min bar may offer a stronger clue.
Today, that second lens made the trade:
20-min bar closed in the bottom 40%
Valid directional momentum → mechanical entry.
This isn’t bending rules – this is applying the system with flexibility and discipline.
Always check the next timeframe before abandoning a trade idea.
Rumour Has It…
A rival trading group is frantically adding a new line to their playbook:
“Wait, can we just… switch timeframes when it helps?”
Sorry lads – that’s called context.
And it only works if you’re already mechanical to begin with.
Meanwhile at AntiVestor HQ, we’re sipping coffee from mugs labeled “ROC Fuel” while watching Popper Pro do its thing – on whatever timeframe says go.
Disclaimer: Any similarity to actual traders is purely coincidental… unless they still use RSI.
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!
