11 traders on the board. 45+ wins logged. 3 brand new faces. 4 milestone moments.
Ahoy there, Trader! ⚓️
It’s Phil…
This week the market printed a new all-time high at 7,041.28 on Thursday while the Strait of Hormuz was actively blockaded by the US Navy and a ceasefire expiry clock ticked down to Tuesday.
And our traders just kept crushing.
Eleven names on the board this week. Three of them brand new to the Wall. Four milestone moments. CK banked their first real-money PPB win after months of paper. Mary posted her best week on record with five winners from five trades. James Davis stacked five SPX Lazy Poppers in five consecutive days, a personal first. Chris Taylor flipped a -$282 previous week into a clean-sweep +$116.76 recovery.
Zach said it out loud on a bullish setup that contradicted his personal bias: “I did not want to go bullish today but follow the system! Popper delivers again!” My response: “same – screw those opinions – I like making more more than being right.”
That mindset paid across the board this week. The system-over-opinion theme owned it.
Keep scrolling. Three first-time winners. A proper comeback story. A new all-time high in the background.
Eleven Traders. Forty-Five Wins. Three Firsts. One Recovery. New ATH In The Background.

Stories Behind The Numbers
The First-Real-Money Breakthrough
CK had been paper trading for months. Reading the material. Watching the setups. Not executing live. This week that changed.
CK pulled the trigger on a real-money PPB. Entered on the 20ORB signal, recognised the 60ORB confirmation, doubled the position exactly as the playbook calls for, and closed the whole thing out for a clean win. In at average 1.2. Out at 0.5.
“Loving it. Thanks Phil!”
The gap between knowing and doing is the biggest one in this business. CK crossed it this week.
The Best Week On Record
Mary posted a week that anyone in this community would take home and frame. 75% ROC on SPX. Five days of trades. Every single one a winner. Five from five.
“Best week on record for me. Happy Friday. I’m out!💥”
Mary is also new to the Wall this week. Walking in and posting a 5-from-5 week on first appearance is the kind of start that changes how a trader thinks about what’s possible going forward.
The Five-In-A-Row First
James DÂ has been posting Lazy Popper wins for a while. This week he did something he’s never done before.
Five SPX Lazy Poppers in five consecutive days.
“SPX LP win for me that makes 5 days in a row this week – first time ever!”
On the Thursday when the TradingView feed was broken, James switched to RUT LP and took the win anyway: “nice win after a shaky week last week.” On Friday he executed a second breakout LP on both SPX and RUT “on my mobile while sitting in the car.”
The bar for “I need my full setup” keeps getting lower for this community.
The Proper Recovery
Chris TÂ walked in with a -$282 bloodbath from the previous week. He did not change strategy. He did not increase position size to chase. He did not stop posting.
He traded the same XSP 0DTE ORB30 $2-wide put spreads. Four times. Monday 678/680. Tuesday 689/691. Wednesday 695/697. Friday 707/709. All four expired worthless. +$116.76 banked. Zero losses.
“After last week’s carnage this week’s 4 clean wins was a welcome relief. Credits on the smaller side ($0.25-$0.32) but no losses the main thing. A proper recovery after the -$282 bloodbath.”
Running totals after the recovery: 87 trades, 78% win rate, +$268 cumulative. He’s moving to the lazy stacker variant next week.
The First SPX BWB
Andy DÂ took his first-ever SPX Broken Wing Butterfly this week. The scale of the contracts on SPX is an order of magnitude up from what he’s been trading.
91% ROC on the Lazy BO. He described the experience honestly: “Admittedly scary as F** with the huge numbers I’m not used to, but it all was just fine.”*
On the Thursday when TradingView lost data across the community, Andy pivoted to using /ES futures as a proxy and executed alongside Phil live. 89% ROC credit spread: “Only reason these were winners because it was live with Phil. We all lost data on Trading View so were using Futures as a proxy. Solid workaround to learn.”
Scaling into bigger contracts and adapting under live technical failure in the same week.
System Over Opinion
Zach went bullish this week on a setup that contradicted his personal market view. The Popper said long. Zach took the trade. The Popper delivered.
“I did not want to go bullish today but follow the system! Popper delivers again!”
Phil’s response in the community chat: “same – screw those opinions – I like making more more than being right.”
That is the philosophy in one exchange. Opinion is the thing that loses money. Execution is the thing that makes it.
The Richard H Stop Discipline
Richard HÂ took his best week on the Wall with 8+ wins and one half-loss. The half-loss is the story.
Thursday his SPX ORB20 whipped into the stop. Instead of taking the full -100%, Richard’s trade management closed it at -50%. He reloaded the SPX. He also ran a RUT ORB20. Both cleaned up. Thursday closed profitable in a week where a sloppy stop could have broken the streak.
On Tuesday the $3 stop from Monday’s community video kept him on the right side of the reversals: “RUT was a squeaky bum moment… kept me the right side of the reversals.”
Risk management wins are quiet. Richard’s were decisive.
What They’re Saying
“Loving it. Thanks Phil!”
— CK, on first real-money PPB win
“Best week on record for me. Happy Friday. I’m out!💥”
— Mary, 5 from 5
“First time ever!”
— James D, on 5 SPX LPs in 5 days
“A proper recovery after the -$282 bloodbath.”
— Chris T, +$116.76 clean sweep
“Admittedly scary as F** with the huge numbers I’m not used to, but it all was just fine.”*
— Andy D, first SPX BWB
“I did not want to go bullish today but follow the system! Popper delivers again!”

“After a bad couple of weeks it is good to see greater firm direction intraday.”
— Duncan G
Transparency Corner
Michael SÂ took a loss on Tuesday’s RUT BO1 and posted it alongside the two wins that followed on SPX and RUT. “Net Positive for the day, albeit a small net win due to the 1st RUT loss. I’ll take it.”
Richard HÂ shared the Thursday SPX ORB20 that whipped into the stop before the reload and recovery. 50% loss filed, not hidden, covered by what came after.
James DÂ reported the RUT LP win plus the SPX LP XSP loss on the same session. “overall a winning day.”
The community posts the reds as well as the greens. The scoreboard is honest.
The Takeaway
Three first-time winners on the Wall in a single week. A recovery sweep after the previous week’s loss. A 5-from-5 debut. A 5-in-a-row personal best. A first SPX BWB at 91%. And a system-over-opinion moment that got crystallised in one exchange.
The macro backdrop this week was a naval blockade, a ceasefire binary four days out, and a new all-time high on the SPX. The community did not trade the macro. The community traded the setups.
The Popper paid. The Lazy Popper paid. The ORB paid. The BWB paid. The VWAP paid. Eleven traders. Forty-five wins. Four milestones. One recovery story.
This is what a week looks like when the market is straight-lining up, a blockade is active, and the discipline holds.
Happy trading,
Phil
