Red Red SPY...? Was yesterday exhaustion? Ideas for Tues Mar 11, 2025
Are you averaging 300-500%+ on your trades in this elevated volatility? If not, join THT PRO.
I focused on 2 trades yesterday. This high IV environment has NOT been easy but we still were able to make it work for us. Finally got a potential near term capitulation dip yesterday.
The trades…. Hope you got these!
SPX 5600p on the dump for want 562.80 or less. after saw the price action I made 555-557 my target. Here is the plan for the puts. NIce 300-700% trade.
It hit 30 and I was out. This coincided with the reversal plan I shared. That on the dump under 5580 I wanted to ge long.
I originally wanted in for 0.50 and then revised my entry goal to be 0.50-2 as I told members. I screwed up here as I didn’t share this revised plan until later. But I did tell members I was targeting 5630-5650.
We got $1.80 to $15 in like 15 minutes!!! That is my kind of trade! But mind you I waited over an hour for this trade to develop. I did not watch the candles. I watched did it get my targets or not.
I had my sell and buy orders in place and then we it got close and we got to 3:00 I shifted gears to Hunt Mode.
Don’t let watching candles wear you down! I designed the SpectreMeter to give me a quick perspective of my plan and the price action. I’ll be adding more things to the meter so I can get to trading super efficiently, and with less stress.
Yesterday’s action
It made the first attempt at recovery. Today we need to see if bulls can make a dent in the selling or if the dump continues. Be patient and use my levels o plan trade 1 to 2 levels at a time. I’m long biased but open to more carnage.
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

Trade Recap for Mon Mar 10
GOLD BOLD ITALIC = price action signal
WHITE REGULAR = action to take/taken
GREEN REGULAR = trades I should have taken
SPY / SPX
Took all day of failed pushes to finally get the afternoon dump. Key Secret Tip. the 5600p was holding 4-5 for hours! Normally they would have decayed. It gave me confidence downide was coming.
Nailed hat dip target and scoop the the rally in last hour.
If you are busy and want to see my commentary and ideas in real time consider joining THT-PRO.
Adjusting for IV gave u good entries and onley 200-300% gains. Hard to get 10x+
Perfect flip top with volume to kick off the elling. out 5730p paid
Perfect reload short off vwap!
My focus was to win 2 trades for 150% and 300-500% gains. and I got that. good enough
Education - How to Join a Strong Trend
The process I typically follow for joining a strong trend are as follows:
All day grinder: join on dips to 20ma
Multi-day grinder:
Join either on support test of morning lows/failed breakdown reversal
Join at vwap mid day or end of day
Keep it simple. Don’t chase, wait for support levels for great risk/reward entries!
Education - Systematic Profit Taking
How do I take profits? I keep it relatively simple. Depending on the entry and range to the next levels I typically with take profits 50-100% of my profits at 3-10R and then raise stops to above entry with a goal of letting runners take me to the next level or 2 and to then reload if I believe we are consolidating before the next leg.
I then repeat the same process on the reload.
Let me know in the comments if you have questions or would like to see examples, I’ll share them.
Trade Ideas - Plan for Tue Mar 11
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.
Ideas
Possible capitulation near term yesterday. Watching dips to get long as long as 557 doesn’t break again. That said, We may not be out of the woods and another big sell leg down can come. So stay frosty. I don’t plan to open trade until after 11 or 12pm today. If i miss it I miss it. but I don’t want to tie up capital for a shitty 50-150% gain.
