It was another profitable week for us at SPX Option Trader. We ended this past week with +117% ROI in our SPX Daily Outlook, +123% ROI in our SPY Daily Outlook, +191% ROI in our SPX Aggressive trader, +200% ROI in our SPY Aggressive trader, -55% ROI in our Late Day Trader and -39% ROM in our SPX Spread Trader. While most strategies finished the week in the green, there was a small drawdown in both Spread Trader and Late Day Trader. These minor dips are part of the natural ebb and flow of trading and are nothing to be concerned about. We remain confident in the long-term strength of the strategies and continue to focus on smart, calculated execution.
Our strategies once again delivered consistent results day trading 0DTE SPX and SPY options. Day after day, the market presented opportunities, and by sticking to the plan, we captured them. It’s a reminder that profits don’t come from chasing every move, but from executing a proven process with discipline and precision.
Success in this game comes from consistency. It’s easy to get distracted by market noise or emotional swings, but we stay focused on what works: our tested approach to forecasting direction, levels, and timing. Whether it’s a strong trend or a choppy session, we adapt without guessing. Another winning week just reinforces why staying the course matters.
We’re looking forward to another great week ahead with our SPX and SPY 0DTE option trading strategies. Below are our daily trade comments and insights from this past week.
8/4/2025
Daily Outlook
We forecast an up day in the market and entered our positions before 9:35 a.m. As the market went in our forecast direction we adjusted our trailing stop. As we hit over +80% in our option positions we were using about a 20% trailing stop. As the market started to pull back a bit, we exited our positions just after 9:50 a.m. for +66% in SPX and +67% in SPY. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

8/5/2025
Daily Outlook
We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just before 9:35 a.m. As the market started to rally, we were focused on the 6340 level in SPX as our stop. As it broke that we exited our positions just before 9:40 a.m. for -23% in SPX and -22% in SPY. Eventually the market turned and greater profit was possible later in the day. It can definitely be frustrating to exit a trade at a loss, only to watch it eventually move in the projected direction. It’s tempting to hold on to a position when it goes against us and hope for the reversal. But staying consistent and disciplined with exits is key. Our strategy is built around keeping losers small and protecting capital first. Not every trade will play out perfectly, but by managing risk and avoiding large losses, we give ourselves the best chance for long-term success. Consistency over time always beats chasing what “could have been.” So a small drawdown for us today, we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
