A+ Setup Day From Outset. Price Jumped Below 2-Day VWAP. VWAP Flop Triggered.
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
Well, today was just a textbook bag full of trades day and done by lunchtime.
This started as an A+ setup day from the outset. Something we talked about in a recent best practices training day for my insiders, outlining some strategy updates and improvements.
Firstly, price jumped from above the 2-day VWAP to below the 2-day VWAP in my already bear-biased market – as we discussed in today’s and this week’s morning briefings. Moving from the larger timeframe range highs to the range lows, which is already in motion.
Whilst this is not needed for the setup, it certainly enhances the setup.
So price pushed lower below the 2-day VWAP and retraced. In one of my older trainings in the strategy archive, I refer to this as the “VWAP Flop” – giving me an A+ setup AND my usual opening range setup.
I’m all over that first bear Premium Popper on both SPX and RUT. Pop ‘n drop and cashed out super fast. 1st breakout trade with enhancements is on the scoreboard.
As we are below the 20-min opening range, I’m anchoring my VWAP to the high of the day. Price on both SPX and RUT retraced back to the AVWAP and rejected it quite quickly. Simply selling the low of the high bar is my entry here. Bonus points as we’re also seeing a 50% retracement from the day’s range.
This also quickly reached its exit.
While this is happening, the 3rd breakout setup as price moved through the 60-min opening range – another Popper was popped on as the prior trade popped off.
3 for 3 setups on 2 instruments. Total of 6 for 6 trades.
The bottom line is that this is what happens when you have a systematic approach and wait for your best setups and hit them hard when the conditions are right.
And it’s not just me… my students are absolutely smashing the scoreboard today too.

6 For 6 By Lunch. Students Replicating. Systematic Perfection.

Trade Review: 6 November 2025
Today delivered what systematic traders live for: A+ setup conditions from the open, mechanical execution, quick exits, 6 for 6 perfection by lunchtime.
Setup Conditions – Why This Was A+ From The Outset:
- Bear-biased market – discussed in morning briefings all week, moving from range highs to range lows
- Price jumped below 2-day VWAP – from above to below creates enhanced setup
- VWAP Flop triggered – price pushed below then retraced back (A+ pattern from strategy archive)
- Range movement already in motion – larger timeframe confirming direction
This confluence of factors created textbook mechanical entry conditions.
Trade 1: Premium Popper ORB20 – SPX & RUT
Setup: First bear Premium Popper on both SPX and RUT
Entry trigger: VWAP Flop + Opening Range Breakout (20-min)
Enhancement: Price already below 2-day VWAP in bear-biased market
SPX Trade 1:
- Premium collected: (details from fill screen)
- Exit: Pop ‘n drop, cashed out super fast
- Result: 58.3% ROC
RUT Trade 1:
- Premium collected: (details from fill screen)
- Exit: Quick mechanical target hit
- Result: 58.3% ROC
Why it worked: VWAP Flop provided A+ entry signal with bear bias confirmation. Opening range breakout gave mechanical trigger. Enhanced by larger timeframe range movement already underway.
Trade 2: AVWAP Rejection + 50% Retracement – SPX & RUT
Setup: Price retraced to Anchored VWAP (anchored to high of day since below 20-min OR)
Entry trigger: AVWAP rejection + 50% retracement from day’s range
Entry execution: Sold low of high bar showing rejection
SPX Trade 2:
- Entry: Low of rejection bar at AVWAP
- Bonus: 50% retracement confluence
- Result: 54.5% ROC
RUT Trade 2:
- Entry: Low of rejection bar at AVWAP
- Quick exit as target reached
- Result: 64.3% ROC
Why it worked: AVWAP provided magnetic resistance level. 50% retracement added confluence. Rejection bar gave clear mechanical entry. Bear bias still driving price lower.
Technical note: Using cash market for SPX, no volume data available, but custom script pulling in proxy data for AVWAP calculations.
Trade 3: 60-Min ORB Breakout – SPX & RUT
Setup: 3rd breakout setup (no official 2nd breakout actually set up)
Entry trigger: Price moved through 60-min opening range
Execution: Another Popper popped on as prior trade popped off
SPX Trade 3:
- Entry: 60-min ORB breakout trigger
- Result: 54.5% ROC
RUT Trade 3:
- Entry: 60-min ORB breakout trigger
- Result: 64.3% ROC
Why it worked: Momentum continuation from earlier trades. 60-min timeframe providing next mechanical breakout level. Bear bias maintained throughout session.
Final Scorecard: 6 For 6 By Lunch
SPX Results:
- Trade 1: 58.3% ROC
- Trade 2: 54.5% ROC
- Trade 3: 54.5% ROC
- Total: 3 for 3
RUT Results:
- Trade 1: 58.3% ROC
- Trade 2: 64.3% ROC
- Trade 3: 64.3% ROC
- Total: 3 for 3
Combined: 6 trades executed, 6 trades profitable, done by lunchtime.
This is what systematic trading looks like when A+ conditions align: Wait for best setups. Execute mechanically. Take profits quickly. Repeat on multiple instruments.
The Bottom Line
This is what happens when you have a systematic approach and wait for your best setups and hit them hard when the conditions are right.
Not every day delivers A+ conditions. Most days deliver B or C setups at best. Some days deliver no setups at all.
Thursday 6 November delivered A+ from the outset:
- VWAP Flop pattern (from strategy archive training)
- Bear bias confirmed (from week’s morning briefings)
- Range movement in motion (larger timeframe analysis)
- Multiple mechanical triggers (ORB20, AVWAP rejection, ORB60)
When these conditions align: Hit them hard. Execute mechanically. Take profits. Repeat.
The systematic advantage: Knowing when to swing big (A+ days) vs when to wait (B/C days) vs when to sit out (no setup days).
Wall of Wins – Week Ending 6 Nov 2025

Key Statistics
Total Traders Featured: 11
Most Common Strategy: Premium Poppers (5 traders)
ORB Wins: 3 (Zach, Colin H., Richard H.)
Recovery Stories: 1 (James W. – turned $40 loss into $200 profit)
Multi-Account Traders: 2 (Steve F., Bill H.)
Notable Highlights
James W.’s Recovery Masterclass
Order entry mistake showed $40 loss, but by closing each side individually after market moved the right direction, turned it into a $200 profit, then caught a Bull TnT for another $60. Account qualification unlocked! “$250 day and my account will be qualified.”
⚡ Fast Action Premium Poppers
The team caught quick SPX & RUT 1st breakouts on November 6th with multiple traders reporting “quick hitters this AM” and barely having “time to bracket it”
Steve F.’s Double Dip
Executed both BWB and spread strategies on SPX, closing both for solid 50%+ gains
Richard H.’s Discipline
Hit 50% ROC on both SPX and RUT ORB20s whilst admitting he missed the ORB60 entries. “Better premiums today. I was above a dollar on both for the normal entry.”
System Replication Success
What makes this Wall of Wins significant: Students are executing the exact same mechanical setups as the teacher on the exact same day.
Phil’s trades: Premium Popper ORB20 (SPX & RUT), AVWAP rejection, 60-min ORB
Student trades: Premium Popper ORB20 (multiple traders), ORB wins, fast action
This is systematic trading validation:
- Same A+ setup conditions identified
- Same mechanical entry triggers
- Same quick profit-taking discipline
- Same results: 50%+ ROC across the board
When the system is mechanical and teachable, students replicate teacher results. Not by copying trades. By executing the same mechanical rules when the same setup conditions trigger.
“Fast action on the SPX & RUT 1st breakouts” – students identifying the same VWAP Flop pattern and ORB triggers Phil was trading. Multiple accounts reporting quick execution and fast exits.
This is what systematic education delivers: Not “follow my trades” dependency. But “execute your own mechanical rules” independence.

- Green arrows = Exit

Rumour Has It…
Breaking from the Financial Nuts newsroom: Percy was discovered teaching his desk pigeons “VWAP Flop Formation Flying With 6-For-6-By-Lunch Execution” whilst analysing A+ setup conditions and claiming they had mastered “Textbook Bag Full Of Trades Advanced Cooing With Student Replication Celebration.”
Hazel updated her crisis management protocols to include “A+ Setup Recognition Emergency Procedures” alongside contingency plans for “VWAP Flop Integration With 50% Retracement Confluence Monitoring And Hit-Them-Hard-When-Conditions-Right Execution Protocols.”
Mac raised his Thursday victory whisky and declared, “When 6-for-6 systematic perfection by lunch validates student replication across 10 traders executing Premium Poppers whilst VWAP Flop delivers textbook entries, mechanical discipline becomes delightfully superior to discretionary guessing!”
Kash attempted livestreaming about “VWAP Flop being basically like DeFi liquidity pool reversions but with actual mechanical entry signals” but got distracted calculating whether 58.3% ROC counts as generational wealth in options terms.
Wallie grumbled that in his day, textbook trading meant “proper chart patterns rather than this modern VWAP Flop terminology with 2-day proxy data and 6-for-6-by-lunch celebration!”
This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!
