One Setup a Day = Another Week of Wins
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
And somehow, it’s Friday again.
This week proved, yet again, that when you reduce noise and let the system breathe – good things happen. We stepped aside from the flip-flop crowd, ignored the intraday noise, and followed a single trade idea per day. That rhythm delivered – with two profitable overnight swings and zero losses on the books.
By avoiding prediction and focusing on position, we let the setup tell the story – and today’s setup looks strong.

SPX Market Briefing
As we head into today’s session, we’re expecting yesterday’s overnight income swings to conclude profitably once again – continuing the run of mechanical wins we’ve stacked all month.
Technically, the Bollinger Bands have begun to pinch, confirming visually what we’ve known from experience – the market is consolidating. This squeeze now gives us a clean bear trigger zone: if we break below the current range, it could signal the end of this strong move higher.
But until that happens, we’re still leaning bullish.
Especially today – because we got exactly what we speculated on yesterday: a bullish outside bar. That’s a strong show of intent. Combine that with it being Friday, and we may well close the week with strength and momentum heading into the weekend.
As always – stick to the system. Setups only. Walk away. Let price prove itself.

Expert Insights:
Mistake: Overcomplicating Friday setups.
Many traders feel pressure to “make back the week” on Fridays, often leading to revenge trades or oversized positions.
Fix: Trust the work you’ve already done.
When the system’s working – like this week – Friday becomes just another brick in the wall. Don’t chase, don’t force. Let the final setup come to you, just like any other day. One trade, walk away.
Rumour Has It…
“Options Expiry Priest Declares Friday a Day of Cleansing”
In what is now being called a “monthly ritual,” a robed figure appeared outside the CBOE chanting “May the premium be with you.” One trader claimed the priest “looked like VIX if it had a beard.”
Market participants watched in awe as the SPX obediently formed a textbook outside bar shortly after. The priest reportedly disappeared in a puff of theta.

Fun Fact
What Does a Bollinger Band Pinch Actually Mean?
When the upper and lower bands narrow, it’s a visual cue that volatility has contracted – often a prelude to expansion. In our case, we already saw signs of this developing earlier in the week.
Today’s pinch validates the tight range we’ve been trading in and gives clear levels for breakout traders:
-
A move above the range = continuation
-
A move below = new bearish trigger
Until then, sit tight. Compression precedes expansion – and we’re almost there.
