Another beautiful rangy day. I got impatient on Friday and stopped on my directional puts for the afternoon flush. It was frustrating because they went 10x by the close. That said, my bear calls paid. Stressless. More and more for why I like credit sells.

That said, here is a quick video on how to recognize the shift in momentum

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 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

SPY Traps: Survive 679 Breakdown Today

Premarket tests key pivot—watch for reversal edges above 679.43

Market Context

SPY premarket closed at 679.33 after ranging 677.24-681.07, sitting just below pivot 679.43 with bearish bias from recent 5-day lows near 677.24. Price action shows choppy consolidation with multiple failed breakdowns below 679, volume spikes at 680.5-681.07 premarket high, and rejection at resistances. Overall neutral-to-bearish tilt unless 681.21 clears, targeting range-bound open.

Key Events Today

No major events scheduled today, potentially leading to range-bound action.
