The 0-DTE Setup That Printed $5 and Gave Zero Stress

Trade In. Walk Away. ORB60 Setup Delivers Near Max ROC

Ahoy there, Trader! ‍‍⚓️

It’s Phil…

Some trades make you feel clever.
Others just make you money.

Monday’s SPX setup did both – a perfect example of why the ORB60 0-DTE strategy sits at the core of the SPX Income System. No indicator. No second-guessing. Just a clean range, a defined edge, and reliable decay.

“Hold your champagne – the trapdoor’s right under the profit chart.”

A large chalkboard or strategy board with today's ORB60 trade pinned dead center: “SPX ORB60 – $5 In / $0.10 Out – +98% ROC”

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

ORB60 0-DTE Setup – No Drama, Just Decay

Today’s income trade came from one of our most elegant 0-DTE variations – the Opening Range Breakout (ORB60).


⚙️ Trade Setup Breakdown

  • Setup Type: ORB60 (Opening Range Breakout)

  • Strategy Logic:

    • Marked the high and low of the first 60 minutes

    • Waited for a clean break of range

    • No pulse bar confirmation required

  • Position: Bear Call Spread

  • Strikes: OTM

  • Premium Collected: $5.00

  • Exit Price: $0.10

  • Time in Trade: ~5 hours

  • ROC: 98.0%

  • Management Required: Minimal

  • Stress Level: Near-zero


What Actually Happened

SPX opened and gave traders a full hour of indecision. Once the 60-minute range was locked, price failed to reclaim the highs and broke lower.

We deployed a bear call spread, collecting a clean $5 credit – far enough out-of-the-money to ride natural decay, but close enough to benefit from a directional edge (should we get one).

There was no retest of the strike, no drama, and no heat.
This was a “place the trade, let it bake” kind of session.

We closed for $0.10 about an hour before the bell, but expiration was just as viable.

System Insights

This ORB60 twist is a pure breakout setup – no indicators, no second-guessing.

  • No pulse bar required

  • No need for strong directional follow-through

  • Just: range → break → decay → payout.

It’s a workhorse pattern with a historical win rate of 84.9%, and one of the smoothest equity curves in the entire SPX Income arsenal.

The AntiVestor Truth

“You don’t need a market meltdown to get paid. You just need a range that breaks, and time on your side.”
