Can SPY break the Red streak today? -- Plan for Mon Jan 05
Our Bull Puts and Bear Calls paid! AlphaOS is making Credit Selling and directional bets easy. Last Day of Holiday trading = extra attention to avoid over trading.
Friday gave some quick reversals and range for clean credit sells. Overall the final dip into 680 could be exhaustion and we could see a bounce today.
Process = Profits
Lately I’ve been doing the following:
Premarket establish where we likely wont reach. Sell premium for 0.8-0.60 on open.
After 11: second positioning of credit sells.
After 3:30: start hawking/planning for a Spectre Special
What’s a Spectre Special? A yolo trade that goes 300-1000% in under 30 min.

What is Two Hour Trading?
Two Hour Trading is my system for finding and executing trades while spending less than two hours a day trading. My goal is to earn 100-300% on the capital I risk while waiting for 1000%+ gain trades to set up. Key benefits include:
High-quality trades with excellent reward vs. risk
Avoiding overtrading and losses from it
Trading to win vs. trading not to lose
Stacking the deck in your favor

Plan for Mon Jan 05
Stick to process. The process and trade setups I teach works. Rinse and repeat over and over again. There will be losses. Any good system will have them. Being systematic also means the gains will repeat and come again too. If you keep changing your system/process trying in an effort to never lose a trade, you will never get to where you want to go.
SPY Alert: Dodge Breakdowns, Hunt Reversals
Premarket at 684.25 signals range-bound action—target failed drops for quick gains.
Market Context
SPY has been consolidating in a tight range over the past five trading days, trading between roughly 679.82 and 691.66, with the previous close on January 2, 2026, at 683.52. The chart shows choppy price action dominated by failed breakouts above 686 and breakdowns below 683, forming a classic symmetrical triangle pattern amid holiday-thinned volume. Overall bias remains neutral to bearish, as sellers defend the 683.4 pivot while buyers struggle for conviction—watch for a decisive move post-ISM data to confirm direction, with downside risk if volume picks up on weakness.
Key Events Today
8:00 am ET: Minneapolis Fed President Neel Kashkari TV appearance—could provide fresh insights on rate cuts, potentially sparking volatility if he signals caution.
10:00 am ET: ISM manufacturing index for December (forecast: 48.3, previous: 48.2)—a reading below 48 might pressure risk assets, while above could fuel a relief rally.
