It was another profitable week for us at SPX Option Trader! We ended this past week with +50% ROI in our SPX Daily Outlook, +47% ROI in our SPY Daily Outlook, +23% ROI in our SPX Aggressive trader, +21 % ROI in our SPY Aggressive trader, +6% ROI in our Late Day Trader and -94% ROM in our SPX Spread Trader. We only traded 4 days this past week due to the FOMC meeting. Despite ongoing market volatility, it was a good week of trading for our SPX and SPY same-day (0DTE) option strategies. Our disciplined approach to entries and exits delivered consistent results. The key to our continued success lies in using the Daily Outlook each morning as a guide and trading with confidence and discipline throughout the day. Whether you’re a full-time trader or using our alerts to enhance your own strategy, this week’s performance highlights the reliability of our method.
As we move forward, it’s important to remember that successful day trading—especially in SPX and SPY 0DTE options—is built on long-term discipline, not short-term excitement. One profitable week is encouraging, but real growth comes from consistently applying a proven process. Stay focused, manage risk wisely, and trust the system even when the market gets choppy. Consistent profitability doesn’t happen overnight, but with patience and persistence, the results speak for themselves. We’re looking forward to another productive week of SPX and SPY option day trading ahead!

Daily Outlook
We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just after 9:35 a.m. Today was a “High Volatility Trade” which means the trade is higher risk and we use our adjusted guidelines as discussed on the website. The market initially went in our forecast direction and as we hit +30% in our option positions we started using about a 25% trailing stop. The market reversed course on us and as it bounced, we exited our position just after 9:40 a.m. for +4% in SPX and +5% in SPY. We weren’t willing to risk any further as this was a High Volatility trade. So a small profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow brings!
