What happens if you take $SPY 0DTE calls with the same $500 every single trade for 300 trades? Starting account: $2,000 Win rate: 80%. That's my actual win rate. 1/3 off at +25%, 1/3 at +50%, 1/3 at +75% Hard stop at -50%. No exceptions. And NO 100%+ trades. The max win in this sim is 75%. Anyone who's been in Altori knows I hit 100-200% bangers all the time... none of those are in here. This is the boring version. A full winner pays +$250. A loser costs -$250. Same size on both sides... so where's the edge? Win rate. 4 out of 5 trades pay you, and the 5th one is capped. That's +$150 a trade on average. Over 300 trades the account went from $2,000 to $47,000. Look at the red bars at the bottom. The losses are there the whole time. Back to back. Sometimes a few in a row. The account still goes up because no loss was ever allowed to get past -50%. This only works with discipline and following the rules... Same 80% win rate. Change two things: You panic and sell every winner at +25%. You let losers ride to -80% because "it'll come back." Your edge drops from $150 a trade to $20. Over 300 trades that's $6,000 instead of $45,000. Same entries, same win rate. The setup didn't make the money. Following the rules every single time did. Most people don't have a strategy problem. They have a follow-through problem. These are of course simulated results, based on my own statistics, not real trades.

It’s amazing how people can make and lose money just by clicking a few buttons on their phone.

Market ended the day almost exactly where it started. Scalper heaven today imo. No breakout or breakdown from the opening range for me with 3 fakeouts on the day. I’m sure some of you made money but wasn’t my type of market. We will have opportunities tomorrow

I should have stayed out today… Thank you $SPY 💔 I won't bother complaining about the PA since I was aware of it before I entered calls, but I really thought on that third attempt to break the range we were going to head to at least 771. I was wrong. I should have known better to just call it quits today, especially after a really good trading day yesterday. We learn and we move on.

The 770 level is breaking. Looking for an entry shortly if this break holds $SPY
