Premarket establish where we likely wont reach. Sell premium for 0.8-0.60 on open.

After 11: second positioning of credit sells.

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 Fri Jan 09

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.

Market Context

SPY has shown choppy action over the last five trading days, trading in a range from $679.82 to $693.96 with increasing volatility around the $689.32 pivot. The index experienced a sharp drop early in the week but stabilized near $689, forming a potential double-bottom pattern near the 687.59 support after testing lower levels. Overall bias leans neutral-to-bullish if it holds above the pivot, but the upcoming jobs report could trigger a failed breakdown, pushing toward resistance if sentiment improves. Premarket trading as of 09:17 ET shows SPY at 689.50, up slightly from yesterday’s close, suggesting buyers are defending key supports amid broader market caution.
