Patience + Process = Premium Profits Without Expiration
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Remember how I said: “It ain’t over till it’s over”?
That played out twice this week.
First — last week’s trade, which looked dead, came back to life on Monday and closed green.
Second — this week’s swing from the range low?
It turned out to be a fast mover.
So fast, in fact, we didn’t even need to wait for expiration.
Monday’s rally gave us entry.
Tuesday’s gap confirmed the breakout.
And by Thursday — we were out.
Premium sold at $7.
Bought back at $0.30.
95.7% return on capital.
Let’s zoom in on the structure behind the speed.

SPX De-Briefing: Fast Moves Don’t Need to Marinate
We covered this trade live during Monday’s Fast Forward mentorship call.
Setup was textbook:
-
Range low tagged
-
Reversal sequence fired
-
Pulse bar confirmation aligned
Entry was clean.
And the rally? Even cleaner.
Monday’s close was strong.
Tuesday opened with a gap.
By Thursday afternoon – momentum had already done the work.
There was no need to ride this one to expiration.
Why?
Because fast moves with structural clarity don’t require time – they demand execution.
Sold to open premium: $7
Closed: $0.30
ROC: 95.7%
We also added additional trades along the way – more on those soon.
But the point stands:
Range reversal → range breakout → compound and exit.
Expert Insights: Don’t Let Expiration Trap You
You get paid to wait.
You get paid faster if there is also movement.
When the lions share of the premium is collected – the trade is done.
That’s how we think in the AntiVestor system.
Expiration is the maximum timeline, not the required one.
If the setup pays you fast, get paid fast.
This trade is your proof.
Rumour Has It…
Hazel called the reversal late – she was still drawing triangles.
Wallie was bearish until the gap hit… and then decided it was a “gamma anomaly.”
Kash claimed it was all part of his “weekly pivot magnet model.”
(We’re still waiting for the PDF.)
And Peanut?
Peanut sold the top, bought the dip, then ate the profit confirmation sticky note.
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!

Fun Fact: You Don’t Have to Wait
Some traders believe every trade should go to expiration.
But that’s lazy logic.
What matters isn’t also time – it’s TIME + Trajectory.
This broken wing butterfly was built for precision:
-
Defined risk
-
Directional tilt
-
Rapid decay capture
The move hit quickly.
Structure was clear.
Premium collapsed.
So we took the money and left.
Repeat after me:
“Just because you have the time doesn’t mean you use the time.”
Happy trading,
Phil
