Bullish Income Swing Nets 98.6% ROC After SPX Gap Higher

System Said ‘Stay Bullish’ – It Paid, Again

Ahoy there, Trader! ‍‍⚓️

It’s Phil…

This one was all about levels, premiums, and patience.

Last week, we flagged a bullish bias above 5600. The system gave the green light, and a premium-selling income swing went live.

What happened next? Let’s just say the market did what it needed to do – and we got paid for it.

SPX Pays Daily. If You Know This One Setup.

Pulse bar + credit spread = reliable income. It’s that simple.


The setup was straightforward: stay bullish above 5600.

With that level holding, I placed a bullish income swing using our premium-based strategy. The rules are simple – as long as the market doesn’t break down, we get to keep most (if not all) of the credit.

And that’s exactly what happened.

The following week, price didn’t just hold – it gapped higher, accelerating the exit window.

This time, I collected $7.00 in credit and bought the position back for just $0.10. That’s a 98.6% return on capital for a trade that didn’t require anything more than following the rules.

No guessing. No chasing. No second-guessing.

It’s worth repeating – these income swings aren’t exciting. But they’re consistent. And the payoff? That’s the kind of boring that grows accounts.

Another one in the books.

Rumour Has It…

Trader Sues SPX for Being Too Predictable

Sources say a retail trader filed a class-action complaint claiming “excessive boredom” after five straight income trades closed green without excitement.

“They said trading was supposed to be stressful,” he wrote in his complaint, “but I just keep… winning.”

The case was dismissed when it was revealed he never actually deviated from a rules-based system.

This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!

Fun Fact

Income trades like this don’t rely on big moves – they rely on no breakdowns.

As a premium seller, your edge is simple: as long as price behaves, you profit.

In this case, we didn’t need an uptrend. We just needed not down.

It’s a reminder that the best trades don’t always feel exciting – they just feel inevitable in hindsight.

Visual reminder of how premium sellers profit without dramatic moves.

Meme of the Day

“Price didn’t move. Profit did.”

Premium seller celebrates as price goes nowhere and trade pays out.


Happy trading,
