Trump Blockades Hormuz: Trade ideas for 04-13-26
Will SPY fill the gap and continue higher or flush for a 2nd red day.
Friday was no exception to our process. Our credit sells paid again AND our patience paid for 2 monster naked trades that paid 200-300% in last 30 minutes.
Congrats THT PRO members!
For today, since we had a multi-day large green move and Friday was a red day. While premarket action looks bullish, I’ll be looking for a short for a 2nd red day. Let’s see if that develops.
Reminder — We are day traders so our focus is taking advantage of the daily action and not worrying about the bigger picture. That picture can provide context, but as long as you are using the levels and price action, we can continue to extract profits daily without knowing the big picture!
How to use AlphaOS to recognize 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’s a Spectre Special? A yolo trade that goes 300-1000% in under 30 min.

Premarket bounce tests key resistance—range or breakout ahead?
Market Context

Recent 1-minute data shows choppy action with multiple failed breakdowns below 675 and reversals at volume spikes near 676, suggesting bearish bias unless 679.87 breaks. Multi-day range 651.06-682.46 with volatility favoring support tests.
