Andy D. Pulled Over On A Public Road To Hit The Buy Button. RUT #2 Closed 100% ROC.
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
What a week to be in this community.
Andy D. pulled over on the side of a public road to place a trade. Mary went to lunch with her sisters. Colin sat in the school car park waiting for the kids. And between them, the crew stacked 59 screenshots of wins across 16 traders in a single week.
This is what the system is supposed to look like. Not glued to screens. Not anxious. Not predicting. Just following the rules – and then living your life while the trades do their thing.
Duncan accidentally hit 95% ROC on a Gold BWB in one day. It was supposed to run for seven. He’s not complaining. Swanky Swank has been quietly building an 88% win rate on RUT over fifty trading days and only just mentioned it. PJ Greenwood tried a bearish RUT trade for the first time ever and banked it. Then closed three lazy poppers mid-storm by the end of the week.

Stories Behind The Numbers
The Road Warrior
Andy D. did not let a small detail like being inside a moving vehicle stop him from trading.
Feb 6 morning. Andy pulls over on the road. Places the trade. RUT #1 closes 79% ROC. RUT #2 closes 100% ROC. He drives away. His words: “Violated a few laws” – followed immediately by “(kidding).”
This is the week in miniature. Multiple sessions, 15+ trades, everything from SPX 1-Day VWAP at 75% to a live session with the group logging 89%, 93%, 91%, 87% in one sitting. Andy’s running commentary was the week’s entertainment highlight: after a particularly strong session he noted his 401K had recovered to the point where he’d only have to work until 92 instead of 107. Progress.
“Chasing trades live with Phil was not only educational, but awesome!”
He also closed out Feb 5 with four back-to-back wins: SPX 0DTE 86%, SPX 7DTE 100%, RUT 0DTE 83%, RUT 7DTE 100%. At some point winning across all four positions in a session just becomes a commute home.
The Accidental Expert
Duncan Gillies placed a Gold BWB that was supposed to run for 7 days. It closed in 1. At 95% ROC.
His reaction: “actually a mistake, it was supposed to be 7 days!”
The correct response to this is to say nothing and accept the compliment from the market. Which is more or less what happened.
Duncan’s week was not just one lucky BWB – it was a demonstration of what VWAP discipline looks like in practice. SPX and RUT closing in tandem 13 minutes after entry. SPX PP let run to 90% off a perfect VWAP touch. Feb 3: 50% in 4 minutes – “that was quick – textbook day!” Feb 4: both RUT and SPX bearish BWBs closing 95% on day 6 of their 7-day run.
“Not fast enough on the mouse for RUT!” is the kind of problem to have.
The Lifestyle Proof
Mary set up her lazy poppers. Went to lunch with her sisters. Came home and checked the charts.
“Winning LOL!”
This is the whole thesis in one afternoon. The system does not require you to watch it work. It requires you to set it up correctly and then trust it. Mary did exactly that – twice this week – and spent the time doing something that actually matters instead of staring at a 5-minute chart willing a candle to move.
Every time someone asks what the point of systematic options trading is, the answer is Mary at lunch with her sisters on a Tuesday.
The School Run Trader
Colin H. was in the school car park waiting to pick up the kids when the official RUT breakout fired.
He was on his laptop. He took the trade. He got the 50% ROC.
“Whilst waiting in kids school car park on the laptop 😎”
Earlier in the week he caught the RUT 2-day AVWAP rejection – “nice easy ride down profits!” – and closed a second ORB win off the range low retest and VWAP reaction. Feb 6 added a RUT bull 1st BO for another 50%.
The school car park is now an official trading venue. Dress code: lanyard, 4G signal, flat white.
The 50-Day Machine
Swanky Swank dropped a quiet line in the community this week that deserves a full stop and a proper read.
RUT win rate over the last 50 trading days: 88%.
Not a one-week streak. Not a lucky run. Fifty trading days of systematic execution on a single instrument, closing at 88%. Both RUT and SPX lazy winners this week added to the ledger.
The fact that this was mentioned casually, almost as an aside, is either extreme modesty or the behaviour of someone who has genuinely normalised consistent results. Either way – noted, logged, and celebrated here whether Swanky likes the attention or not.
The First Timer
PJ Greenwood tried a bearish RUT TnT for the first time this week.
“First time trying – thanks guys!”
It paid. A few days later, SPX PP 0DTE closed and the message was: “Winner Winner chicken dinner! 🤩” Then Feb 4 added a RUT PP win. By Feb 5 she was closing 3 lazy poppers on what she described as “a tricky day” – “like a pilot flying through a storm – geez!”
That’s the arc. First bearish RUT trade. Chicken dinner. Three lazy poppers closed mid-storm. All inside two weeks. The system doesn’t care whether it’s your first trade or your five hundredth. It just requires execution.
The Transparency Corner
Mark Steffens, Bill H., Richard H., and James Davis all reported losing trades this week alongside their wins.
Mark was explicit about it: “To include the losers as well as winners to be fair.” He reported a RUT loss before posting a $0.70 profit SPX trade and noting he’d place proper stops next time. That is the correct response to a losing trade – log it, learn from it, carry on.
Bill H. stopped out on a RUT BWB, reloaded, and added a new SPX BWB in the same session. “Don’t count me out!” He closed the week having juiced a RUT bull PP to $10 wide and taken it off cleanly.
Richard H. on Feb 9 went 2 wins 2 losses on AVWAP trades and summarised it precisely: “all up down a few dollars, glad I took the next trades as it took the sting out of it all.” That’s what system traders do. The next valid setup is the answer to the last loss.
James Davis closed an SPX lazy early on Fed speak and reflected: “should have let it run, a win is a win.” No drama. Just an observation and a lesson for next time.
This community wins together and it also loses together – which is the only honest version of a Wall of Wins worth reading.
What They’re Saying
Andy D. – after the live session: “Chasing trades live with Phil was not only educational, but awesome!”
Andy D. – on the 401K situation: “My 401K recovered. Now I only have to work until 92 instead of 107 🙂”
Richard H. – on taking what the market gives: “well ahead of the 0.5db target, profits is profits”
Richard H. – after Feb 4’s 8-trade session: “Wow, what a day”
Duncan Gillies – on the Gold BWB: “actually a mistake, it was supposed to be 7 days!”
Duncan Gillies – on Feb 3: “That was quick — textbook day!”
Mary – on the lifestyle trade: “Set it up, went and had lunch with my sisters, came home and checked the charts. Winning LOL!”
Colin H. – on the school car park BO: “whilst waiting in kids school car park on the laptop 😎”
PJ Greenwood – on the first RUT trade: “First time trying – thanks guys!”
PJ Greenwood – on closing 3 lazys mid-storm: “like a pilot flying through a storm – geez!”
Paul Halme – on the iron condor patience: “Glad I didn’t panic and let both trades play out”
Bill H. – after reloading the BWB: “don’t count me out!”
Mark Steffens – on sharing losses: “To include the losers as well as winners to be fair”
The Takeaway
Fifty trading days at 88%. Three lazy poppers closed mid-storm. A Gold BWB that finished seven days early by accident. A school car park. A sisters’ lunch. A public road.
This is what trading looks like when the system is doing its job. It doesn’t look like a screen full of indicators and cortisol. It looks like ordinary life with a productive background process running. The trade fires. The setup triggers. The position does what it’s supposed to do while you’re doing something else entirely.
The transparency this week matters as much as the wins. Mark shared a loss before a win. Bill reloaded after a stop-out. Richard counted his 2-and-2 AVWAP session as an honest day’s work. James Davis noted the early exit and filed it as a lesson. That’s not failure – that’s the trading log of people who are building something that lasts beyond a good week.
Sixteen traders. Fifty-nine screenshots. One week. Next week the wall goes up again.
Will your name be on it?

Phil
