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.

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
