Setup Voided, Bias Flipped – $6.50 In, $0.05 Out

Ahoy there, Trader! ‍‍⚓️

It’s Phil…

Another day, another win – and this one was all about staying mechanical, reading the signal, and letting the market do the work.

We started the day expecting to flip bearish… but the system had other plans.

Calm trading setup with clear record of a profitable premium trade on sideways action.

SPX De-Briefing

The original game plan was to follow a late-day bearish Tag ‘n Turn setup from yesterday – and flip accordingly.

But the market said “not today.”

The setup voided through the hedge trigger – and since I had nothing to hedge, the next move was simple: get bullish.

With my prior positions closed profitably, I opened a new 7-DTE income swing, following the usual playbook. A bit later, a clean bullish pulse bar gave me the green light to add a 1-DTE overnight swing.

And then… price did nothing.

Which, as any premium seller knows, is exactly what you want.

No panic. No run. Just a flatline drift while the clock did the heavy lifting. By morning, both trades were in the money and the 1-DTE was closed. $6.50 in, $0.05 out, a 99.2% ROC, and zero drama.

That’s the beauty of the system – mechanical setups, stacked probabilities, and strategic re-entries.

Viva the income trade.

Rumour Has It…

SPX Sideways Drift Declared National Holiday by Premium Sellers

The United Federation of Income Traders has declared “National Drift Day” after SPX flatlined for hours, leading to a record-high payout rate for 1-DTE sellers.

“Nothing happened and we all got paid,” said one trader while sipping celebratory coffee. “Honestly, it’s the dream.”

Volatility was unavailable for comment.

This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!

Fun Fact

Traders chase big moves. Premium sellers? We chase stillness.

The irony? The less the market does, the more we get paid – especially when we’re correctly positioned.

Flat price. No fear. Just decay working for you.

Meme of the Day
