When the Market’s Flat, Get Paid to Wait
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
It was a flat week.
A short week.
And for most traders – a confusing, dull one.
But if you’ve been using the system…
This was a textbook reminder that boring often pays best.

With this setup? It’s practically an ATM with a checklist.
SPX De-Briefing
Coming off a long weekend and heading into a four-day week, it was clear early on that we weren’t going to get much action. The bullish bias carried over from last Friday, but with no pulse bars in sight, there wasn’t much to do but wait.
And wait we did – until Thursday, when the first sign of life finally appeared: a valid bullish pulse bar inside a bullish bias.
No need to guess. Just act.
Now, I did miss the original swing entry.
So swing plus a mechanical 1-DTE overnight setup:
→ Broker Win Butterfly
→ $7.60 premium collected
→ Short strike: 5900
By Friday’s close?
The market barely moved.
The trade closed for just $0.10 – locking in a 98.7% return on capital with zero directional effort required.
In short: I got paid to wait.
No forecast. No hustle. No stress.
Just another mechanical win.
Rumour Has It…
“Trader Revives Market With Defibrillator”
After four straight days of market flatlines, Thursday morning saw a lone trader storm the CME lobby wielding a dust-covered defibrillator labeled “PULSE BAR.”
“CLEAR!” he yelled – slamming it onto a 15-minute chart.
Seconds later?
• SPX futures jumped
• A bullish pulse bar lit up
• And a confused janitor was heard whispering, “Was that legal?”
By mid-session, brokers were tweeting “He’s alive!” while retail chatrooms demanded an encore.
One analyst even proposed a new Fed tool:
Quantitative Defibrillation.
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!
