# What is RIGGED AI?

The stock market is RIGGED by Wall Street. Copytrade them and win when they win.

## **RIGGED is a completely new way to trade options.**

Instead of drawing lines on charts, gap filling and listening to furus, we built a system that's modeled after advanced blackjack strategy.

Basic blackjack has a few golden rules:

* always stand on 17
* double down against a 6
* never split tens

These rules are effective because those scenarios the player has an advantage against the house. 

Advanced players can further increase their edge by counting cards. 

This is when the player keeps a running score of each card dealt and then increases her bet size when there are more high cards (A, K, Q, J, 10s, 9s) than low cards remaining in the deck.

Card counting roughly increases the player's edge by \~1%.

Depending on the rules of the game, this can drop the house odds from 0.60 to 0.45, thus making it much more winnable for the player.

Winning at blackjack requires **strategy and edge.** 

Options trading is exactly the same. 

First traders need a strategy or system to follow:

* when to hit / take the trade
* surrender / exit for a loss
* double down / increase position

This is a great place to start from, but most traders have a system and most traders lose. It's not enough.

If we want to increase our chances to win more trades then we need a way to consistently generate edge. 

Who has edge in markets? 

**Wall Street.**

Wall Street is just like the casino. They have infinitely more resources, experience, intelligence and often better (possibly even inside) information. 

The markets are rigged against retail traders just like the table games at Cesar's Palace. 

We can't beat Wall Street but we can copytrade them. 

When Wall Street wins, we win.

Instead of being the player against the house, we are the house.

## **SPY Dec 20, 2023 example:**

It starts like any other ordinary trading session with price rising slowly before hitting an intraday high of $475.89 at 12:57 EST.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FkyuMlAbiNbhZ2cW46xTq%2FCleanShot%202024-03-23%20at%2012.09.57%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=fc2c178d-011f-4e01-95b1-334ee28d81ef" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There is no type of analysis out there that could have prepared you or predicted what would happen next.

From 12:57 until the close of the session $SPY nukes -1.70%.

It's an 8-strike move in 3-hours.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FLLh4SJDMIil5kIVQuWEt%2FCleanShot%202024-03-23%20at%2012.15.05%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=3b0d4821-42c9-4fb6-8d81-2c2ce9f88c21" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This happened without news or any major catalyst.

Everyone was shocked except for Wall Street.&#x20;

Wall Street knew what would happen.

**Here's how we know:**

12:57 - the price of SPY hits $475.89, the intraday high\
\
12:58 - RIGGED sends a 297 BEAR BOMB alert notifying users of unusual bearish flow

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FZZoeKdjbGaXG1hSwByVo%2FCleanShot%202024-03-23%20at%2012.20.25%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=964e31da-92c8-4e54-9b3e-01ef8a69f9cd" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The alert at 12:58 means these trades happened at 12:57.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**12:57 is the exact high of the day.**</mark>

***

## **Luck or Edge?**

If you think it was random luck that Wall Street was able to perfectly time the top before one of the biggest sell-offs in 2023, **then please stop reading now.**&#x20;

Like it or not the stock market is RIGGED.

Wall Street had some sort of edge telling them to buy puts and sell calls (bearish flow) in massive size at 12:57.

**From 12:57:00 to 12:57:59 here are the trades detected:**

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FRW8qCyWVRgTdgRwN5FeS%2FCleanShot%202024-03-23%20at%2012.32.43%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=abf7cfb0-af23-4aae-8e1d-1720dcbe8df7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There is no way the human brain can process this information and real time and then use it to make actionable trading decisions.&#x20;

In sixty seconds we see over $250,000 in bearish premium. Price is at the high of the day. Three hours remain in the session.

<mark style="color:yellow;">Wall Street knew.</mark>

<mark style="color:yellow;">Wall Street had edge.</mark>

<mark style="color:yellow;">**Now their edge can be yours with RIGGED.**</mark>

***

## System Summary:

RIGGED uses AI and machine learning algorithms to monitor and analyze Wall Street's option flow.

Alerts are sent when unusual bullish and bearish trades are detected.

Every RIGGED option alert comes with a strategy guide, trade session, profit target, and trade size.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F2djrxHwTI0U9lP5Wg8Ni%2FCleanShot%202024-03-23%20at%2013.04.53%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=4c202cbb-6b10-447c-83d9-1177f86309c1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Traders using RIGGED can copy Wall Street's biggest trades and win when they win.


# CTE 0DTE Trading Method

This is a simplified version that makes RIGGED AI super easy to use and understand.

CTE stands for; Check, Trade, Exit.

* Check BL for bias
* Trade matching alerts
* Exit at 3-strikes

You will be shocked at how well it works, something like 85% of SPY sessions. CTE works because most of the time, price moves to 3-strikes (average intraday move).&#x20;

Once we get to 3-strikes, strategy changes, but more on that later.

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6qfQTgaOvs>" %}

Follow the [CTE playlist on youtube!](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLknW4ck8QlGCCnu7g2Re1znKjPYpIoNld)

Note: [CTE skips the open](#skip-the-open) because it's difficult to trade and not recommended.

***

### Check BL at 1030

Following the open session, we check the BL value (distance between price and the open price).&#x20;

Positive BL = <mark style="color:green;">Bullish</mark>

At the BL = <mark style="color:yellow;">Neutral</mark>&#x20;

Negative BL = <mark style="color:red;">Bearish</mark>

{% hint style="success" %}
Bullish or Bearish we want to follow price action to 3-strikes (yellow zone).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Neutral = no bias follow the breakout by trading EDGE / High WR alerts
{% endhint %}

RIGGED AI charts show this with the recommended or preferred alerts to trade.

[QQQ 12/19/24](https://app.rigged.ai/QQQ/2024-12-19)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FOM925E5MzuViTC29fjA3%2FCleanShot%202024-12-27%20at%2007.52.56%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=afdc91e2-c1f5-4552-84ea-a9fbeef415bd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There were multiple 1+ strike swings followed by BEAR BOMB / BEAR KTR alerts. Each one of these returned over 100%. The exit zone in red is where price bounced each time.&#x20;

***

### **Trade Matching Option Alerts + KTR**

Checking BL gives us bias, now we want Wall Street's option flow to confirm the bias.

The most important thing:

{% hint style="danger" %}
Do not chase price action, trade calls below the strike or puts above the strike.
{% endhint %}

There will always be more option alerts and entries.

[QQQ 12/11/24](https://app.rigged.ai/QQQ/2024-12-11)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FjRzVuSxEGbYR174O9pDk%2FCleanShot%202024-12-27%20at%2007.57.35%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=ea1216ae-0bff-4c4d-abec-350f31fb8b2c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Trade BULLS BL to +2, there's a nuke from 3-strikes to 2-strikes and they are perfect tags with price never lower.

***

### **Exit at 3-Strikes (Yellow Zone)**

This is the first place we want to take profit.

When price first touches the yellow zone it will either:

* instantly push through to +/- 4
* violently swing back the other way

The first one is very good for your trade and the second is very bad.

[SPY 12/13/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-12-13)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F63h8IamGBMOko3rqwFHu%2FCleanShot%202024-12-27%20at%2008.01.46%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=033ef6d6-2637-46f5-891d-3e4a531cc303" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We get a swing and then BEAR KTR with each returning over 100%. Price then touches the yellow zone that says "BEAR RISK - BULL SWING ZONE". BULLS come in and price pumps higher.

Taking profit in the yellow is always a good idea.

Generally you can follow these rules:

{% hint style="warning" %}
Normal - hold to 3-strikes or 100%+, try to keep a runner
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Nightmare - exit before 3-strikes or at any profit level
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Full Send - try to hold a large position until the end of the session (trend day)
{% endhint %}

**Summary:**

Check BL at 10:30 for bias

Trade option alerts that match the bias

Exit at 3-strikes (yellow zone)

Next let's look at some examples of the system working as designed.

***

### Positive BL = Bullish

[SPY 10/14/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-10-14)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fg3CE50eziBNoLaVDVKbs%2FCleanShot%202024-11-14%20at%2014.51.21%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=b6a865e5-560c-497d-a646-7a863dc623bb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

1030 - BL +2.23 (very bullish)

11:03 - Pullback to BL +2.00 and KTR fills

Price grinds higher the entire session, exit to runners in the yellow zone.

***

## Skip the Open

The open (930 - 1030) is when we see the most volatile price action with price quickly moving up or down before completely reversing within minutes.

This happens almost every day in the market due to things like:

* **Pre-market change:** if we open significantly higher or lower than the previous close
* **Overnight news & reports:** markets will react to CPI reports, earnings releases, geopolitics
* **Positioning for the session:** if Wall Street is setting us up for a massive pump, they love to nuke the price first

{% hint style="danger" %}
The open is the most difficult time to trade and not recommended for beginners!
{% endhint %}

[SPY 11/13/24](https://app.rigged.ai/session/2024-11-13)

* 09:50 - Price starts to nuke from the blue line
* 10:08 - Price has moved 2.5 strikes lower
* 10:35 - Almost the entire move is retraced

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FFhJUVOUNfHEbWxqXHGd6%2FCleanShot%202024-11-14%20at%2008.08.42%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=4739195d-28e1-47ec-9742-113334cafb00" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

18 minutes to go down 2.5 strikes and then 27 minutes to retrace almost the entire thing.

This happens almost every day in the market.

***

### Trading the Open (Advanced)

Year to date the best performing 0DTE strategy for the open has been SPY & QQQ [EDGE ALERTS](/guide/win-rate-and-edge-alerts) with 50% WR and [Volume](/guide/volume-tradeability) over 110.

From 01/01/24 - 11/13/24 there are 68 trades and using the advanced strategy <mark style="color:yellow;">you're returning 56.07%.</mark>

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FdjHT1BGnDLejIXkd4g8J%2FCleanShot%202024-11-14%20at%2008.37.55%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=33b5ba87-d19d-4083-ae16-cdff94107d2e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

P\&L jumps to +66.46% if you only trade QQQ.

P\&L jumps to 117.36% if you only trade QQQ BEARS (24 results alerts).

# RIGGED Quick Start Guide

This covers the entire options strategy and system. Learn it, use it and win more trades!

RIGGED is a completely new system for intraday (same day) options trading.

We support:

0DTE (zero day options): SPY, QQQ and IWM

Weekly Options for popular symbols like AAPL, NVDA, AMD, SMCI and whatever may be trending.

It’s important to understand that trading SPY or QQQ 0DTE options are a completely different experience than options with a weekly expiry.

Example:&#x20;

If it’s Tuesday a SPY put may trade for a 100% gain or loss in 10 minutes, while a NVDA put the same day may only move 15 or 20%.

Beginner and advanced traders alike should exercise <mark style="color:red;">**EXTREME CAUTION**</mark> trading options meaning papertrade (fake money) or small size (1-2% max of account size) per trade when starting to learn the RIGGED system.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Remember this is the highest risk / return form of trading imaginable.&#x20;

You are responsible for any decisions made when using this website. We do not provide financial advice of any kind.&#x20;

Option alerts are not a recommendation to buy or sell a security.
{% endhint %}

The best non-financial but relevant trading advice we can give you is this:

<mark style="color:yellow;">**You will know when you are in a good trade.**</mark> It just goes up. It goes up so fast, you sell too early. It's ridiculously easy to make money. This is where you want to be.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**You will know when you are in a bad trade.**</mark> It goes down, it keeps going down, and you keep **hoping** it will go back up. Your heart starts beating faster. You add to it to get back to even instead of cutting your loss. You blow up your account.

As the saying goes, "RIGGED easy. Trading hard."

If you can win this psychological battle in your mind and stop adding to losers and letting your winners run, you can do this.

Most can’t.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Remember: Trading options is extremely volatile.&#x20;

Start small (1-2 contracts) or papertrade.&#x20;

Do not blow up your account.
{% endhint %}

## **Step 1.) Join the Discord**

Discord Warning: There are A LOT of scammers impersonating users. No one from RIGGED will ever ask you for money or coaching or anything else. Do not fall for it. Make fun of them and block / report.&#x20;

From your account page, enter your discord username to get upgraded.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FujXJKZ86CHLt4VzlD1xB%2FCleanShot%202024-06-19%20at%2011.37.46%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=d1c23231-23b0-4b9a-8340-be0446bfed8a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you are on the trial you will be able to chat in [#trial-chat](https://discord.com/channels/1119257363174666330/1226895150647607306) but you'll have full viewing permissions of everything else.

If you have problems with upgrading your role, file a ticket in [discord-support ](https://discord.com/channels/1119257363174666330/1226924552895074425)and we'll get back to you ASAP!

The main channel you want to watch / setup notifications for are found under KOMODO:

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FAXzurFKZmE35MmjGjdI2%2FCleanShot%202024-06-19%20at%2011.36.43%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=88fdc605-1be3-4a04-8d18-aa0f6365d117" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

RIGGED works through a [system called TKO,](/strategy/tko-system) which is covered a lot in the docs and on our youtube page.&#x20;

Tradelords is a channel where users who know the understand the RIGGED system will comment thoughts and opinions on price action and alerts.&#x20;

Once members upgrade from trial to monthly or yearly, you get full chat permissions.&#x20;

## **Step 2.) Setup Alert Notifications**

We recommend new traders to use KOMODO alerts on SPY and QQQ.&#x20;

Two reasons:

It takes time to learn the system and receiving alerts for every single ticker will be overwhelming.

SPY and QQQ Komodo alerts have a 40% Win Rate and EDGE or ADV. They perform better, they're easier to trade and they're cheap ($50 - $120).&#x20;

From your account page select KOMODO alerts only and select SPY and QQQ.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FDTPLCKwTVQRQIwTlISw5%2FCleanShot%202024-06-19%20at%2011.26.34%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=3e2a93ac-fbab-4389-92d1-07a796808371" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can of course skip this and receive alerts for any and every ticker, but it will be too much noise and not enough signal.&#x20;

KOMODO alerts on SPY and QQQ are the best to trade.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FEiPc0O0wNdgUKkicC3dr%2FCleanShot%202024-06-19%20at%2011.50.31%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=3a2e286b-6e5a-474e-94e4-e18dc6bd75bd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That's beautiful.

***

## Step 3.) How to Use RIGGED&#x20;

We're in discord and we have our alert notifications set for KOMODO only.

This is what we'd do if we were complete beginners on the trial.

1.) Skip the open session 930 -1030 (hard to trade, very volatile)

2.) Look for KOMODO BULL BOMBS (as of 6/19/24 BULLS are outperforming BEAR alerts by a significant margin).

3.) Enter trades with a max of 2 contracts using [KTR](/strategy/tko-system/komodo-2.0-and-ktr) whenever possible.&#x20;

4.) Sell 1 contract at 50% return and let the other ["free runner"](/strategy/exit-strategy) go as high as possible.

Your goal as a beginner (or trial user) is to see if the RIGGED system actually works or not. Test it for yourself in real-time.&#x20;

While making a ton of money is great and what we're all after... it takes about 2-3 months to really start to feel comfortable using RIGGED.&#x20;

The journey of becoming a great trader never ends. That's what's great about it.&#x20;

Here's some example sessions to check out:

[SPY 5/31/24 - 996.25% return](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?alert_id=130465\&day=2024-05-31)

[SPY 4/22/24 - 430% max gain (perfect tag of the bottom)](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?alert_id=119351\&day=2024-04-22)

[SPY 4/15/24 - 740% max gain ](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?alert_id=116121\&day=2024-04-15)

## Step 4.) Learn the TKO System + Concepts

{% content-ref url="/pages/6V031nIH6pg4sgFOMIjf" %}
[TKO System](/strategy/tko-system)
{% endcontent-ref %}

Option alerts are signals of big time Wall Street trades. RIGGED is here to help you copytrade Wall Street, but you have to remember that **markets are PVP**.&#x20;

Big lizards eat small lizards.

All lizards feast on retail traders.&#x20;

We can't copytrade Wall Street blindly, we need to follow a SYSTEM.

That system is TKO which stands for:

[TRADEABILITY](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability) - video game difficulty and what could happen during the session

[KOMODO](/strategy/tko-system/komodo-2.0-and-ktr) - AI powered smart alerts and what has happened in the past (past performance is no guarantee of future results etc)

[ON FIRE](/strategy/tko-system/on-fire-alerts) - when an alert hits 100% in under 30m, this is what's happening and the strongest signal to pay attention.

The amount of time you spend learning the system + concepts will be directly correlated to your success trading.&#x20;

We want you to win!

***

### Concepts:

[The Blue Line Rule](/strategy/the-blue-line-rule) - The higher we go from the blue line, the more risk for BULLS. The lower we go from the blue line, the more risk for BEARS.

[3-Strike Rule](/strategy/the-3-strike-rule) - In the average trading session the maximum price will go is 3-strikes (dollars for SPY and QQQ) higher or lower than the blue line.&#x20;

[Position Score (PS) ](broken://pages/Xh5XL222KGh9Trpxbpv6)- Positive values are more risk for BULLS and negative values are more risk for BEARS.&#x20;

[Mean Reversion](broken://pages/1GBLWuZ9QgSURxlR2Zr8) - After a move higher or lower, price will return to the blue line.&#x20;

[Trend Day](broken://pages/9OOQFEkuEVeusHAD8Hcv) - When price goes beyond 3-strikes and closes in the same direction as the initial move.&#x20;

***

## Strategy:

[Tradeability Modes](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability) - expected difficulty level to return 100%+ on alerts

[Option Setups](broken://pages/ljk3POOpWOgjBjfIwK4m) - preferred trade setups when price action is not trending

***

## Trading:

[Entering Trades](/strategy/entering-trades) - when and how to enter trades

[Exiting Trades](/strategy/exit-strategy) - when to take profit and go to runners

High Risk - advanced strategies to increase returns on trend days

## High WR Alerts for SPY & QQQ

SPY and QQQ are our best performing 0DTE alerts and we prefer 49% or higher. With volume set to 50%, we'll get all of them.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fk2NA9AdvAQoLFOnVkcad%2FCleanShot%202025-01-06%20at%2021.01.57%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=45348c3a-4ee6-4aa3-b2b3-ec3d3f8356bd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can select other names here but they do not perform as well unless it's Friday!

## Live Feed

[Open up the live feed](https://app.rigged.ai/session/live) and look at the session tab at the top. This shows the volume, number of alerts and their average max gains.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FWTJfH19LIu261cSiOxVo%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2014.38.00%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=44b87d10-e9c5-42b8-9e8f-95996849ec0d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Strategy is determined based on volume:

[0DTE Mean Reversion](/price-action/0dte-mean-reversion)

[Trend Session](/price-action/trend-sessions)

[Perfect Tags](/price-action/perfect-tags)

Familiarizing yourself with these forms of price action and their strategies is absolutely critical if you want to be successful.

The simple strategy to follow:

{% hint style="success" %}
Trade volume over 120% and look to take a position to 3+ strikes above or below the blue line
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Volume under 100% look for mean reversion back to the blue line
{% endhint %}

***

## Alert Feed

When large option trades are detected, alerts are sent directly to the feed.

You can click the symbol name and it will open the chart for the associated alert.

Traders should target option alerts with EDGE (probability), high WR (win rate) and 30D (30-day win rate).

These are expected to win (return 100%) at a high rate.

[Understanding RIGGED AI Alerts](/guide/win-rate-and-edge-alerts)

The two IWM alerts had an 83.33% WR and 63.64% 30D WR.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FANK5OSmYDdqtiHuTXl1j%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2014.45.12%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=79938db5-bc2a-4213-b03f-9c2b5fa983b1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Both are perfect trades going for over 300% max gains.

{% hint style="success" %}
Trade alerts with EDGE, a high win rate and 30D win rate
{% endhint %}

# The Blue Line Rule

The Blue Line and 3-Strike Rule are core components of the RIGGED AI trading system.

The Blue Line is the open price for the session.

BL is the difference between the current price and the opening price measured in strikes.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FUhJjaodKnNx7i9zBpqaI%2FCleanShot%202024-10-31%20at%2016.10.45%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=856f0eda-d8fc-4d07-b039-22b7548a7769" alt=""><figcaption><p>The Blue Line is $581.21 and at 10:15 SPY is $583.01 or BL +1.80</p></figcaption></figure>

BL +1.80 tells us SPY has moved higher 1.8 strikes from the open.

BL tells us the exact position on the chart and is used for a bullish or bearish bias for the trading session.

The strategy to remember:

**ABOVE THE BLUE =&#x20;**<mark style="color:green;">**BULLISH**</mark>

**BELOW THE BLUE =&#x20;**<mark style="color:red;">**BEARISH**</mark>

Because the session open is extremely volatile with price moving in both directions, we typically use the Blue Line \~ 10:30 to try and trade edge alerts that match.

Bullish or Bearish we will try to enter trades and hold them to 3-Strikes above or below the blue.

***

## Blue Line Tells Us What's At Risk

The average move is 3-strikes. Anything beyond that and you are at risk.

The higher BL = more BULL RISK

The lower BL = more BEAR RISK

This is because the 0dte market is designed to punish and destroy traders who are late to the move and chasing the price action.

We make it very easy for you in the chart.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**YELLOW WARNING ZONE**</mark>

BL +/-5 is the warning zone.&#x20;

If volume is low, price will likely reverse. This is a good spot to take profit and go to runners (free contracts).

<mark style="color:red;">**RED DANGER ZONE**</mark>

BL +/-5 is the danger zone.

Most sessions we do not see 5-strikes, so it's unclear what will happen next. This is a good place to exit any trades you may have purchased in the yellow or look for a reversal.

**SPY 10/01/24 we see a move all of the way into the red.**&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F8k0D2nSPl6RyUkjdaTI8%2FCleanShot%202024-11-01%20at%2013.36.30%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f9093844-1b7c-4a19-9ba6-e088bd085fee" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

What you'll notice is that we bounce back up into the yellow before hitting 570 (3-strikes) and going back down.

Do not trade BEARS BL -5 or lower.

**QQQ 11/01/24 - we see a fast move into the yellow.**

But then every time we get into the red, price pulls back to the yellow area.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FXcmp7pYVO0BErpisY86L%2FCleanShot%202024-11-01%20at%2013.26.13%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=c73abdbc-46d3-4a9a-a67c-2d4589fa5ce5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Do not trade BULLS BL +5 or higher.

***

## Above the Blue = Bullish

When we're above the blue, we're looking for any pullback to trade BULL BOMBS and buy call options.

We are looking to take the position to 3+ strikes.&#x20;

Look at QQQ from 10/22/24.

10:30 BL +2.03 (high) so we will wait to enter a trade.

12:30 - BULL BOMB with 58% win rate

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F3lQ2KZbclLB6JYSsOhz1%2FCleanShot%202024-10-31%20at%2015.45.02%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=0dc4728e-0669-4d8d-9c66-f1efd6bbda6f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The trade wins returning over 468% max gain.

### Fail to Break Below = Bullish

When price is above the blue, it will sometimes reverse and pull back to the blue line.&#x20;

This is often an excellent opportunity to enter call options and we commonly see KTR fills and BULL SWING alerts.

SPY 10/08/24 had two opportunities to buy calls near the blue!

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FJE2QNqh279oHLxXKsTms%2FCleanShot%202024-11-01%20at%2012.56.28%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=59022bb6-1859-40ee-8109-48d550a36000" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Here's another look at SPY 10/22/24.

We failed to break below and price went up to 3-strikes before pulling back.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fa2wmXCOmcVTiNroZybBk%2FCleanShot%202024-11-01%20at%2013.08.56%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=5e67c85f-84f0-4e3b-863d-13d8d2d33d74" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## Below The Blue = Bearish

When we're below the blue it's time to put the bear suit on and take put options to BL -3 or lower.

Look at QQQ 10/17/24

Below the blue, already in the warning zone for bears. This is risky!

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Ffg7WunVEvSsjZOlByRsG%2FCleanShot%202024-11-01%20at%2013.52.10%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=fc5af0c3-7125-47df-8694-b47259c38496" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you waited to take a trade until 12:00, price nukes back down into the yellow returning 100%+.

### Fail to Break Above = Bearish

If price moves down and returns to the Blue Line anything under +1, it's a very bearish setup.&#x20;

Wall Street just killed everyone who bought puts late and is now going to begin the real move down.

QQQ 10/23/24

Price action chops at the blue before going down 3-strikes and bouncing back.&#x20;

It never breaks above 494. This is bearish.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FNONm9D9Lp4hOZHvnfeD7%2FCleanShot%202024-11-01%20at%2014.12.29%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=1ef0067b-282f-4b58-a70f-6f2eedf7b20c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

KTR hits and it's a 900% max gain option trade.

***

## Ping Pong at the Blue = Chase The Move

Occasionally Wall Street will employ their favorite type of price action terrorism where the price will just ping pong back and fourth at the blue line the entire session.

It commonly occurs on event days (intraday market even like Jerome Powell speaking).

Whenever you see this, the bias is neutral.

We want to chase wherever it breaks out, because after hours of ping pong and killing options via theta-decay, there will be a big move.

[SPY 10/07/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flow/SPY?day=2024-10-07)

Price ping pongs at the BL until moving lower. It doesn't break above the blue which is bearish.

This is followed by a massive nuke.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F0DUUS6grbfd1HAWKaNHR%2FCleanShot%202024-11-01%20at%2014.17.20%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=c2afbc26-c66d-4527-a335-232ec42cc79c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**BLUE LINE SUMMARY:**

BL is the difference between the spot price and open price.

Above the blue = bullish

Below the blue = bearish

Try to take positions to 3+ strikes in either direction.


# 0DTE Trading Zones

There are three separate zones in the RIGGED AI options trading system, they are based on the average intraday move from the blue line (aka [the blue line rule](/guide/the-blue-line-rule)).

The higher we get from the blue line, the more risk for BULLS.&#x20;

The lower we get from the blue line, the more risk for BEARS.

There are three separate zones:

ZONE 1 - BL +/- 2 to 3

ZONE 2 - BL +/- 3 to 4

ZONE 3 - BL +/- 4 to infinity

Each zone comes with general strategy guidelines which change based on volume and historical performance.

**EXIT ZONE** - exit the trade to runners (free contracts) as price may reverse.

**RELOAD ZONE** - when price moves from the red, back into the yellow this can be a good area to reload trades that follow the price action.&#x20;

**BULL or BEAR RISK** - this is approximately the high end of an average move, so the risk it will continue increases. It's not often profitable to short the bottom or long the top.&#x20;

**BULL or BEAR SWING ZONE** - where price action loves to reverse and kill the opposite side look for multiple same side option alerts with a high win rate.

**EXTREME BULL / BEAR RISK** - when price reaches the red area it's approximately a 2 standard deviation move from the average.&#x20;

**SWING OR NUKE TO CLOSE** - extremely rare session (less than 10%) where it's unclear whether price will reverse or keep nuking lower.&#x20;

**NUKE or PUMP TO CLOSE** -  extremely rare session (less than 10%), where a pullback could happen. However bullish moves more commonly continue with price closing at a high. Look for entries on a 1+ strike pullback.&#x20;

{% hint style="success" %}
If volume is over 120%+, then it's expected price will go into zone 3 (red). You may want to hold runner contracts until the end of the session.
{% endhint %}

***

## BEAR EXIT ZONE

Exit zone = your exit target to runners (or take profit before).

When price reaches Zone 1 it will either swing (reverse) or continue to push through.

[SPY 01/08/25](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2025-01-08)

Price hits zone 1, moves into zone 2 and then bounces, making it a perfect area to exit.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FRna8JtaLecfKUOLms041%2FCleanShot%202025-01-11%20at%2012.01.59%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f941018b-9b0a-4dde-9f46-a0baafe9b5db" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## BULL SWING ZONE

Here the RIGD AI system triggers a 268 BULL SWING with a 52.94% WR.

This is a perfect trade returning 197.66% in 1hr 59m and only a -3.10% drawdown.

[SPY 01/08/25](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2025-01-08)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FDMJOIBt2fY9GX54wYkRG%2FCleanShot%202025-01-11%20at%2012.18.21%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=94fd7699-4657-41f9-9a07-b7ea610b7b41" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## BEAR RELOAD ZONE

In higher volume, we can reload BEARS (put options) when price moves back into the reload zone.

[SPY 01/10/25](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2025-01-10)

CTE says BEARS BL to -2

Price swings up to the BEAR RELOAD ZONE and we get two BEAR BOMBS with a 72.00% win rate.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FSVP0B922SlNpjum6LKVF%2FCleanShot%202025-01-11%20at%2012.21.21%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=24b92919-d01f-44a2-8ccd-fb29f6dc9825" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

These are perfect trades with no drawdown returning over 100%

***

## SWING OR NUKE TO CLOSE

If price does not pump out of the red area, it's going to keep nuking.

[SPY 01/07/25](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2025-01-07)

Here we get a clean nuke to the close ([BEAR TREND](/price-action/trend-sessions/bear-trend-strategy)) session with price nuking 5 strikes lower before a small bounce and closing -8.71 below the blue line.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FctsN1B24zp1ope0PeM0E%2FCleanShot%202025-01-11%20at%2012.25.33%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=156b3f45-7ccb-481f-abfe-590215b70265" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

RIGD AI sends a perfect 3378 BEAR SWING and while the historical WR is low, the [30D WR](/guide/win-rate-and-edge-alerts#id-30-day-win-rate-30d) is 58.59%. This is a perfect trade going for a max gain of 510% in only 2hr 9m.

***

## BULL EXIT ZONE

Three strikes is the best exit target on low volume. This text will change depending on volume.

[QQQ 12/23/24](https://app.rigged.ai/QQQ/2024-12-23)

Price moves from the blue line up to the BULL EXIT ZONE and then nukes 2-strikes lower. This was the perfect spot to exit!

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F9kcAXfC8DjuYrN9fM7QK%2FCleanShot%202025-01-11%20at%2012.31.21%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=12a2a34c-a3c6-4703-a9c1-de6a930622a7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## BULL RELOAD ZONE

When price goes into zone 2 or 3 and pulls back to the reload zone, it's a great time to follow BULL BOMBS.

[SPY 11/19/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-11-19)

Price basically pumps straight to zone 3, before pulling back to the top of the reload zone.

KTR triggers for the earlier bull bomb and the option alert returns 334.08% max gain.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FYWIp6JOJEIiF6LtX796Y%2FCleanShot%202025-01-11%20at%2012.37.48%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=41bed337-f416-402d-a1fb-88d14fcceabb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## PUMP TO CLOSE

These are the best trading sessions. Price just keeps going higher. It's very common to see on TESLA or NVDA in high volume on Fridays.

This session in particular was one of a kind with the biggest intraday reversal of all time.

[QQQ 09/11/24](https://app.rigged.ai/QQQ/2024-09-11)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fi572InaRI4Z6kaBGto86%2FCleanShot%202025-01-11%20at%2012.41.12%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=505de7be-6922-4643-8bd7-21aff4e522ce" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## 0DTE Zone Summary

Overall the zones serve as a general guide, where matching option alerts with a high win rate can be incredible trades.

Markets are going to market and trend sessions can happen in low volume and flat sessions can happen in high volume.

These are general guidelines.

{% hint style="success" %}
Zone 1 - this is the best spot to take profit on the majority of your position. If it doesn't continue to zone 2 immediately, it's going to reverse. Wall Street punishes late chasers.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Zone 2 - this is where we love to see reversals happen, especially if it's early in the session and we're below the blue line.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
Zone 3 - the red is crazy because it's either going to keep going way beyond what people expect or it's going to reverse. Whatever position you take if you exit losers fast and switch sides, you can usually win.
{% endhint %}


# The 3-Strike Rule

In the average trading session we see a maximum of 3-strikes above or below the blue line. This is where we risk off!

The 3-Strike Rule says that for SPY and QQQ, price will go to maximum of 3-strikes above or below the blue line.

Once you get to the third strike; price will typically reverse.

The basic strategy is:

* Hold trades to BL +/- 3
* Risk off on trades at BL +/- 3

This works in \~ 80% of sessions.

If volume is over 120% (full send mode) as indicated by blue background, then we want to hold trades beyond BL +/- 3 and re-enter trades in that area.

RIGGED AI charts make this easy to see and understand.

BL +/- 3 to 5: <mark style="color:yellow;">YELLOW WARNING ZONE</mark>

BL +/- 5: <mark style="color:red;">RED DANGER EXTREME RISK ZONE</mark>

QQQ 11/01/24 is a perfect example.

Every time price got into the red extreme bull risk zone, it pulled back into the yellow.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FpzLsN9IuFqmUYDBpwbag%2FCleanShot%202024-11-03%20at%2007.43.22%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=b13af7b0-f4b3-4844-affc-4fed4ad02de8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That's the RIGGED system at work.

***

### 3-Strike Reversals

Price action never goes straight up or straight down.

The 3-Strike Rule tells us that if price has moved to BL +/- 3 and it doesn't instantly continue to the next strike higher or lower, it's going to reverse the opposite way.

This is Wall Street killing retail traders late to the trade.

**3-STRIKE BOUNCE SPY on 10/21/24.**&#x20;

The Blue Line is 583.88 and when price moves down to 581 (\~ 3-strikes), you can see it bounce and completely reverse.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FB9PB2rcbCdqisUpUvtn8%2FCleanShot%202024-10-31%20at%2015.17.53%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=e1a3e78b-86f4-4d16-9738-89a5140c84c5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**3-STRIKE REVERSAL QQQ on 10/11/24**

Here we have the opposite. Price moves up 3-strikes at the open and then reverses lower.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FbKyjF88rgkyhfhGLeQdl%2FCleanShot%202024-10-31%20at%2015.27.56%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=010489f4-fc34-4ef6-adff-7a28fc9ea1c3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You can also see in the final hour price returns to 494 (3-strikes) and again pulls back.

{% hint style="info" %}
Exit to runners at 3-strikes, especially if price begins to stall out.

At the 3-strikes, price will typically bounce. If it doesn't nuke or pump through the third strike immediately, take your gains and run.
{% endhint %}

***

## 3-STRIKE MAGNET

Sometimes the third strike can act like a magnet attracting price.

Whenever price gets into the red, it likes to return to the yellow which is the 3-strike zone also commonly referred to as the "fk zone".

Keep it simple...

If it says EXTREME BEAR RISK don't trade BEARS.

If it says EXTREME BULL RISK don't trade BULLS.

### FULL SEND - RE-ENTER TRADES IN THE YELLOW

RIGGED goes into full send mode when volume is over 120%. When option volume is that high, Wall Street is actively trading in the market and we want to copy them. This usually means it's a trend day.

Trend days we want to follow the price action and re-enter trades in the yellow zone.

# How to Trade 0DTE Options

Follow CTE

Alert matches CTE with high WR

BULL BOMB = Buy Calls Below Strike or After Nuke

BEAR BOMB = Buy Puts Above the Strike or After Swing

Set Your Stop Loss -20 to -30%

If we enter a trade in a good position&#x20;

Lose Fast & Win Slow


# Win Rate & EDGE Alerts

A winning trade at RIGGED AI is when an option alert returns 100%+ at any time during the session, without any consideration for drawdown.

Win Rate (WR) is calculated at the time of the alert using historical returns of similar option flow and other factors and displayed as a percentage.

The statistical significance of the win rate is indicated by the color.

If the win rate probability is random, the percentage will be colored in green.

0 - 30% - White

30 - 50% - <mark style="color:green;">Green</mark>

50%+ - <mark style="background-color:green;">Green with Green BG</mark>

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FVQw7jdgPMYrY4jEhyhYI%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2006.11.53%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=d2fdfc37-5502-4288-ad26-87330027ebb9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If the win rate is statistically significant (expected to keep winning at the same rate), then the alert is tagged <mark style="background-color:blue;">EDGE</mark> and colored in <mark style="color:blue;">blue</mark>.

These are called [EDGE alerts](#edge-alerts).

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FkqZcwyz4CD4tXPg2VZa0%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2006.21.19%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=eb99e5c7-8beb-414d-9e76-8de73b174516" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
EDGE alerts have a reliable win rate, 55.56% = 55.56%

GREEN alerts *could* win at WR or the results could be random
{% endhint %}

***

### 30-Day Win Rate (30D):

Markets trend up and they trend down.

WR is limited because it's the average of multiple market cycles; bull and bear.

Traders can use the 30D (30-Day Win Rate) to help gauge which direction the market is trending.&#x20;

If the 30D percentage is high, it's a reliable indicator that the trade will win.

{% hint style="info" %}
30D WR batches option alerts based on side (bull or bear) and time. This has more results and the numbers can be different than WR.
{% endhint %}

If there are none in the last 30 days, then it will show N/A.

**Low 30D WR:**

In the example below we see 50%+ WR EDGE, but the 30D is extremely low under 20% for each alert.

None of these alerts won, all of them go -99%.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FGD0eXW3BHQQrh29sDLMe%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2006.34.09%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=5dc30c91-8b41-4d3d-bd02-ad1cc0f46a04" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That's not something we want to trade.

**WR and 30D Match:**

The next example we see the WR and 30D match, both are nearly identical.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FvtOAbtk51iqOl713R0Os%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2006.40.12%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=1068bc80-2437-4f7e-aac4-3e5814944a38" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The results are completely different with 7/8 hitting a max gain over 100% and 1/8 at 98.50%.

**30D Summary:**

{% hint style="info" %}
Use 30D to determine which direction the market is trending

30D greater than or equal to WR = take the trade

30D significantly than WR = skip the trade
{% endhint %}

***

## Win Rate Summary:

Win Rate = 100%+ return at any point in the session, without a drawdown consideration.&#x20;

Alerts can return 100% quickly or drawdown -99% before returning 100% in the last 10 minutes of the session.

If the WR is GREEN, then the alert has zero probability.

If the WR is BLUE, then the alert has EDGE and will likely continue winning at the same rate.

30D is useful for determining market direction. If it's winning, we want to trade it.

**Trade tips:**

* look for a minimum of 40% win rate (green or blue)
* if the 30D is high, trade it

Remember past performance does not guarantee future results. Even a 50% WR EDGE will lose 50% of the time.

***

## Edge Alerts

Option alerts have EDGE when there is a statistical probability they will continue winning at the same rate.&#x20;

EDGE WR is reliable.

Historically EDGE alerts have significantly outperformed non-edge (ZERO) alerts.

Throughout the system everything EDGE is tagged in blue.

EDGE Alerts have a high win rate and probability.&#x20;

They are often the best trades to target.

## Use Win Rate to Guide Your Trading

Often RIGD AI will send bullish and bearish alerts within short timeframe. The market is lizard vs lizard pvp and the smarter (not necessarily bigger) lizard will win.

Traders can use win rate plus blue line to guide their decisions.&#x20;

[SPY 01/06/2025 ](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2025-01-06)is a great example of mixed option flow (alerts) and higher win rate alerts winning!

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fi1FKSRFXerNG0WonamNJ%2FCleanShot%202025-01-06%20at%2020.13.29%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=07ce9857-4b89-4e6b-bb28-2272c7969eb9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The SPY BULLS are BL +2.82 (high) and WR is only 16%. They lose.

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/DnPhjcEZ9JI>" %}


# KTR - Entering Trades

KTR is the average price range the option contract draws down to before winning (returning 100%).

If an option alert does not win immediately, we can use KTR as an entry target.

## How KTR works:

Every option alert comes with a KTR range.

If the option alert has EDGE (reliable probability), then KTR will be filled in blue.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FQi24CZGSTQLwUrxyk1sD%2FCleanShot%202024-11-05%20at%2008.28.06%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f0d75866-e347-4fc9-8c86-526240628f68" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

When the price of an option contract reaches KTR, a secondary alert is triggered.

This is a KTR fill shown in the chart with red circles indicating BEAR and green circles indicating BULL.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F9buMhRue7kcLMygctMkP%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2008.06.26%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=149daf05-cb51-47c3-9d07-5dd8d4f117f5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The KTR fill recalculates win rate as if there was option flow at that point in time.

**Example:**

KTR for the 490c is 1.19 - 1.35.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FykSuST0luwmArrnPGEMH%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2007.43.46%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=5605baf8-e320-476a-8c48-d98200a716bb" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The color is blank so we know it does not have EDGE.

The 30D is 50%, so we can choose to target this using KTR.

11:04:15 - KTR fills for the 490c with price drawing down to 1.15.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FNrUaCGfEP1LBwINHbvBj%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2007.50.35%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f09d0654-af41-4611-8e7a-3bcda2ff152e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The alert wins returning 178.26% in 1h 15m.

{% hint style="info" %}
WR and 30D for KTR FILLS will not match the parent alert. They are generated when price draws down to the KTR range.

Sometimes the KTR WR may be higher, other times much lower.
{% endhint %}

***

## Trading KTR

We trade most EDGE alerts within BL -1 to +1.&#x20;

If the EDGE alert is late, loses or does not win immediately, we will look to enter the trade using KTR.

We like to define "late" as a 1-strike move in the alert's direction. 1-strike = late, 2-strikes = super late, 3-strikes = very stupid.

### [SPY 11/04/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-11-04) - LATE ALERT

The 55% WR EDGE BULL is an awesome trade, but you have to know price has already bounced 1.5 strikes off the bottom.

If you entered using KTR, you returned 122.24% in 37m with no drawdown.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FjXAEj0uIAnhOAC7gVkTN%2FCleanShot%202024-11-06%20at%2008.20.04%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=14cba435-5cb7-4030-a1da-8c36737849ab" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### [SPY 10/07/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flow/SPY?day=2024-10-07) - INSANE BEAR SETUP

In the first twenty minutes you get 5 EDGE BEARS, extremely bearish setup.

They do not win immediately, price action goes sideways before moving up 1-strike.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FcvJI6JKQDeV9xAGLbTZz%2FCleanShot%202024-11-05%20at%2008.05.53%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=b6ff4a90-a384-4a65-beab-75c3f05f0ab8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

KTR for the EDGE BEARS just below the 572 strike.

This is an incredible trade returning over 300% max or 263.55% buying and holding until the end of the session.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FLjDIuAaSMXIZWrYLDCmV%2FCleanShot%202024-11-05%20at%2008.03.45%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=abea1710-6ed1-46e4-967a-b3c1d15e2c36" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## **KTR Strategy:**

We only starting tracking KTR returns in September of 2024, due to a limited amount of data it's not clear what the best KTR strategy may be.

**Backstory:**&#x20;

KTR stands for Komodo Target Range. Komodo was a codename for one of our system upgrades. It got kind of confusing, so we removed it. We tried switching from KTR to ETR, but ETR is stupid. KTR is it.&#x20;


# Volume = Tradeability

The RIGD system calculates volume using the 14-day average of institutional option flow.&#x20;

Volume is used as an indicator for Wall Street's participation in the option market.

We want to trade aggressively when Wall Street is active in the options market (high volume) and go small or touch grass when Wall Street is not trading options (low volume).

**High Volume:**&#x20;

* options market controls the price
* easy to trade and return 100%+
* trend day or perfect tags
* switch if wrong and win
* lots of option alerts (10+)
* price action will follow the rules

[**11/06/24 - HIGH VOLUME SESSION**](https://app.rigged.ai/session/2024-11-06)

The average max gain for BULLS on SPY, QQQ and IWM is over 100%.&#x20;

Price basically goes straight up from 11:00 on. If you were in BEARS and switched to BULLS you made a lot of money.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F3ae6ElTACnbbXEkd2cwj%2FCleanShot%202024-11-08%20at%2008.27.05%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=a1e06519-3778-4504-8dc4-8db2937a1cb1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It doesn't get better or easier to trade than this.

**Low Volume:**

* robot algorithms in total control of price
* price action will be terrorism designed to liquidate traders on both sides
* blue line will act like a magnet attracting price
* can be extremely difficult to win trades

# Questions

Common questions about RIGD and 0DTE

### Who is RIGD for? Do I have to be a professional trader?

Clearly this product is build for retail non-professional traders. We're not sure if professional traders (the lizard people) would laugh or cry if they ever used RIGD.

The RIGD system is designed in a way that's easy to follow even if you have no trading experience.

### **Why are there mixed signals BULLS and BEARS?**

RIGGED AI sends option alerts for ALL BIG trades bullish and bearish. A lot of time the flow is going to be mixed, it's lizard vs lizard out there.

You can use win rate, to help guide whether it's a trade setup you want to take or not.

[SPY 01/06/24 is a prefect example](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2025-01-06). The BULLS above the blue are low win rate 16% and get killed meanwhile the 53% win rate alerts win.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FYh4E8qjKjZTxw45FfFtb%2FCleanShot%202025-01-06%20at%2020.13.29%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=c876358c-7c8e-4a4a-8232-37f47cec7c8a" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### **Do I have to trade 0DTE options?**

This is not required. Many traders use RIGD AI to trade SPX, NDX and futures ES, NQ. The signals have a strong correlation to bullish and bearish price action moves.&#x20;

### When is the best time to trade?

The open is the most difficult time to trade as there's often a big swing both direction.&#x20;

From 1300 on is often a great time to grade with the move reversing (mean reversion) or blasting higher / lower.&#x20;

Follow the [CTE Strategy](/guide/cte-0dte-trading-method).

### When is the worst time to trade?

If you are new to 0DTE options, do not trade Friday and do not open new positions after 13:30.

### How much money am I going to make?

If you are new to options trading, you will probably lose 100% of your money. If you're advanced at options trader (let's face it you're reading this right now you definitely aren't advanced) you will possibly blow up. We make you sign a waiver of liability before getting started acknowledging this fact.&#x20;

### Do I have to trade 0DTE options?

No, this is a free country and you can do what you want.

However RIGD alerts are designed for intra-day (same day) trading. You can always purchase 1-4 DTE or weekly options for slightly more premium and slightly less volatility.&#x20;

### Why is my price different than the alert?

Depending on your brokerage you may not be receiving live market data. But the 0DTE world moves extremely fast and seconds matter. This can obviously be beneficial if the move hasn't happened and kill you if it already has.&#x20;

## **What is a 0DTE Option?**

In the options world DTE stands for “Days to Expiration”.

The 0 means zero days. They expire the same day they are traded.

**Example:**

> It’s Monday September 11, 2023 and you buy a SPY 450c option that expires at the end of the session. That’s a 0DTE trade.
>
> If you purchase a SPY 450c that expires on Wednesday September 13, 2023, that’s a 3DTE (three days till expiry) trade.

**Key point:**

0DTE primarily refers to the options that have daily expiries.

However on Fridays most options for stocks like Nvidia, Tesla, and Apple expire on Friday. On Friday these are 0DTE (because they expire the same day).&#x20;

***

## **What 0DTE Options are available?** <a href="#mrlqnv98zdnm" id="mrlqnv98zdnm"></a>

Monday through Friday you can trade 0DTE options on:

* S\&P 500 ETF Trust ($SPY)
* Invesco Nasdaq 100 Trust ($QQQ)
* S\&P 500 (SPX)
* Nasdaq 100 (NDX)
* Mini-SPX (XSP)
* STOXX 50 (OEXP)

RIGD supports 0DTE $SPY and $QQQ.

***

## What are the advantages of 0DTE Options? <a href="#id-6xpf9h9yql77" id="id-6xpf9h9yql77"></a>

The simple explanation is they are low priced, extremely liquid, have potential for massive gains and limited downside (the price of the option).

0DTE Options are the most degenerate financial instruments created by man.

**Low Price Leverage:**

When you buy an options contract, it gives you the right to buy or sell 100 shares of the underlying stock at the strike price.

The option premium (price) provides you the same notional value of 100 shares.

0DTEs are typically priced 1.10 - 2.00 for options “in-the-money” (ITM) and much cheaper for strikes “out-of-the-money” (OTM).

**Example:**

On Friday SPY closes at $445.52.

On Monday you think it’s going up!

You can either:

* Buy 100 shares of SPY for $44,552.00
* Buy a 0DTE call at the 445 strike for 1.67

The market opens and you buy the SPY 446c for 1.67 ($167).

Congratulations you are now controlling a notional value of $44,552.00 of SPY for only $167.

That’s low priced leverage!

**Quick Profit Potential:**

If the market moves ten cents in your direction, you will make at minimum 10% on your option.

Don’t quote us on that… but also quote us on it.

**Extremely Liquid:**

Currently 0DTE options make up \~50% of the total option volume each trading day. Given their popularity, they are extremely liquid.

Extreme liquidity means the bid-ask-spread (the price between buyers and sellers) is super tight.

When the bid-ask-spread is tight, **you can exit positions as fast as you enter them!**

**Why liquidity matters:**

Sometimes a ten cent move can bet the difference between a 40% gain and a 20% loss so moving with speed is mission critical!

Extreme liquidity in 0DTE options means there’s often only a .01 - .02 between the bid-ask-spread. You’re safe to use market orders (selling at the lowest bid) to exit positions.

**Massive Gains with Limited Downside:**

Your downside is limited to the premium paid for the option. You can never lose more money than what you paid for the option.

**No Overnight Risk:**

The lizards love to release news on a Friday after the market is closed or prior to the opening Monday morning. They positioned themselves before and they waited until the last moment to let the market react.

That’s markets… they’re RIGD.

By trading 0DTE options, you don’t have any exposure to changes that happen when the market is closed.

Every day is a new opportunity.

***

## **What are the risks for 0DTE Options?** <a href="#w6z9gvwzt4v9" id="w6z9gvwzt4v9"></a>

0DTE options are a lot like Spiderman... with potential for massive gains comes risk for total loss.

**Extreme volatility:**

0DTE options are the most volatile financial derivatives ever created!

Sudden price movements in your direction will move the value for 0DTE options by twenty or thirty percent, while a move the opposite way will crush your gains.

**Rapid Price Decay:**

The lizards control the stock market and often one of their favorite moves is to do the ping-pong-bing-bong between strike prices.

When the price action chops, the value of both call and put options rapidly decrease in value.

**Emotional Damage:**

This is the worst part.

You will get a RIGD alert, purchase a call option that immediately starts going up in value before a massive drop. You get scared and close the position for a 30% loss.

You shut the computer and curse at yourself. Then you make the mistake of looking back 15 minutes later only to see the call option you sold at 0.78 is now trading at 4.65.

Nothing feels worse than this and it happens every day!

Then the next time you’re in a trade and it goes down, you decide to hold through the loss thinking it will bounce back. It doesn’t. You turn a 30% loss into a 100% loss. You search craigslist for jobs to make it all back.

Been there and done that!

The great part of RIGD is we are a supportive community of like minded degenerates who are likely in the exact or similar position. Misery loves company.

**Summary:**

There is no other form of speculation that theoretically offers **unlimited upside** with a **fixed downside** that trades Monday through Friday 930 - 400pm EST.

**Unlimited upside:** while there’s nothing stopping $SPY from going to $1,000 in the next session, it will not go to $0.

Even if North Korea fires nukes at America, the circuit breakers would hit level 3 (indicating a -20% drop) and trading would stop until the next day (if anyone is still alive).

**Fixed downside:** You cannot lose more than the premium paid for the option contract. Your risk is capped at whatever you paid.

Buy a ticket and take the ride.

## The Option Greeks for 0DTE <a href="#id-2uedv52c0f3a" id="id-2uedv52c0f3a"></a>

We’re not going to say the Greeks don’t matter, they do if you’re trading weekly options.

But for 0DTE in the amount of time you spent thinking about them, you just made or lost a lot of money.

The most important Greek is probably Theta aka time decay.

The closer the clock gets to 4:00 PM EST, the faster your option value will decay.

**Example:**

9:45 AM: SPY is $445.42 and you buy a SPY 446c for 1.59.

2:15 PM: SPY is $445.68 (a small increase) and your SPY 446c is now worth 0.68.

Why?

THETA!

At 2:15PM there is only an hour and forty five minutes left in the session. The closer to expiration, the more the value of the option will go down.

The lizards love to force a move in the morning, slowly grind higher or lower during the middle (Theta Burn), and then force a big move at the end.

This is really the best explainer.

**Summary:**

On low volume days with boring price action (we call it the ping pong bing bong) theta decay will absolutely kill the value of your options.


# 0DTE Mean Reversion

How to make money on the return to the blue line.

Mean Reversion refers to the price of a symbol returning to the blue line (opening price) and is one of the most popular 0dte option strategies.

Wall Street employs it day in and day out to crush retail traders.

Understanding how it works and how to use it with the RIGGED AI system will give you the edge you need to win more trades.

## **What is Mean Reversion?**

{% hint style="warning" %}
For 0DTE options, mean reversion refers to price returning to the blue line (open price) for the session.

This is the most common type of price action, regularly found in low volume nightmare mode sessions (red chart outline) but can occur in full send mode as well.
{% endhint %}

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0thzRh4TUg>" %}

## **How Wall Street Prints $$$:**

Wall Street creates fomo by moving SPY or QQQ significantly up or down, it looks and feels like a trend day. Retail traders are late to the move and buy puts at the bottom or calls at the top.

Wall Street then moves the price back to the blue line, liquidating everyone in the process.

QQQ 10/03/24

Look how fast these moves are:

* 10:06 - BL +4
* 10:23 - BL +1
* 11:51 - BL +3
* 12:54 - Mean Reversion

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FYAf327rnexIj42FMW32G%2FCleanShot%202024-11-04%20at%2007.39.17%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=291edc6a-e506-4806-8bc6-ae2c3b5d309e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Each time price reaches the yellow area (BL +3 to +5), it pulls back eventually going to the blue line. That's mean reversion.

***

## Copy Wall Street's Mean Reversion Strategy with RIGGED AI

Wall Street employs two different mean reversion strategies; algo terrorism and the 3-strike swing.

### **Algo Terrorism Mean Reversion**

When price moves \~1-strike from the BL before returning to the BL.

The blue line basically acts as a magnet the entire session with price never moving significantly above or below.

See SPY 10/03/24.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fnl2N0SectJonvNhfAvis%2FCleanShot%202024-11-04%20at%2007.56.31%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=9485d873-c222-493b-b10f-7a34c1150472" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is pure algo terrorism and should be avoided.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
ALGO TERRORISM:

1-strike move in either direction

no on fire alerts&#x20;

no 100%+ returns

wait until end of session to trade or touch grass
{% endhint %}

### The 3-Strike Swing&#x20;

This is probably the best trade setup at RIGGED AI and the main reason why traders love to used RIGGED AI to copytrade Wall Street.

**How it works:**

The 3-strike rule tells us that the average maximum move we see on SPY or QQQ is BL +/- 3. This is where reversals happen.

At BL +/-3, Wall Street can swing the price and return us to the blue line (mean reversion).

It's an insanely profitable trade setup.

#### **3-Strike Swing Below the Blue (best setup)**

[SPY 10/04/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flow/SPY?day=2024-10-04)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FpkRWh7cXDI4kGx6FXarC%2FCleanShot%202024-11-04%20at%2008.15.26%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=5b59950a-0323-4d44-a643-565d19902d70" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you trade BULLS BL -3 and held until the end of session, you returned 100%+.

[SPY 10/21/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flow/SPY?day=2024-10-21)

Similar setup, 3-strikes downa nd price bounces almost returing to the blue at the end of the session.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FCO7r5V9xjAoLjbIclpQH%2FCleanShot%202024-11-04%20at%2008.22.50%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=90168ea8-6253-474e-a280-e282838ca92c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### 3-Strike Swing Above the Blue

The stock market is designed to go up. 3-strike swings from above the blue happen less frequently, but when they do the returns are ridiculous.

[QQQ 10/25/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flow/QQQ?day=2024-10-25)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FzwAFk5szMgsWhhzmUOMX%2FCleanShot%202024-11-04%20at%2008.26.35%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=716eb254-f7fc-48bf-9902-556de4ffb29c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Price stalls 3-strikes above, bear bomb hits KTR and returns a 646% max gain with price nuking back to the blue line.

{% hint style="info" %}
3-Strike Swing:

The best mean reversion trade setup

Prefer BULL BOMBS BL -2 to -3 with EDGE

BEARS BL +3 will pay out massively if they win (they win less)
{% endhint %}

***

**Summary:**

Mean reversion is the most common type of price action.

In calls, exit to runners BL +3.

In puts, exit to runners BL -3.

The 3-strike swing is the best mean reversion trade setup.

Avoid algo-terrorism mean reversion sessions where price goes BL +/- 1.

# Trend Sessions

It doesn't get better or easier than trading a trend session.

On a trend day even if you're in the wrong side, you can switch and make it all back and then more. The biggest mistake you will make is taking a 100% gain when it goes for 500%+.

When price moves in one direction the entire session, deep into the red area of the chart.

Generally this means:

🐂 BULL TREND - BL +4 and higher

🐻 BEAR TREND - BL -4 and lower

RIGGED makes it easy by showing you tradeability and strategy.&#x20;

Look at the difference between these two sessions:

In this article we'll help you identify a trend and show the basic strategy.

## Identifying a Trend

### Volume 110%+

We want volume to be a minimum of 110% and going up as price approaches the yellow area.

If volume is going down, there's a strong possibility the movie will reverse and it will be mean reversion.

[SPY 10/01/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-10-01)

Volume is going down and price bounces heavily back to the yellow area.

### Price Hits BL +/- 3 at the Open

The open (first hour) is the most volatile part of the session.

This is where Wall Street kills traders who are late by violently reversing price action.

{% hint style="success" %}
If we are going to have a trend day, then price needs to hit BL +/- 3 at the open and stay there.

Do not chase BL +/-3 at the open.&#x20;

This is a good spot for a reversal and it happens a lot.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you are BL +/- 3 and it goes to 2 and does not immediately bounce and go back to 3, get out of the trade. It's going to reverse.

If you're busy and can't watch the charts, the best indicator this is happening is when you receive an ON FIRE notification.&#x20;

A lot of ON FIRE alerts = trend (bullish or bearish).

On Fire is triggered when an alert returns 100% in under 1hr. This only happens when there's a 3+ strike move at the open.

This can be viewed at the top right of the session bar.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FRjgzuMkp6TabXftQ4wSw%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2010.35.55%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=60169b6c-d6b9-4bf2-9f91-822647548f43" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

At 10:16 we get the ON FIRE alert for SPY.

This is when the 256 BEAR BOMB first returns 100%.

Volume is 110% and we are BL -3.

Possible trend day and we want to follow the price action. Entering a BEAR BOMB at any of these times paid massively.

## Trading Trend Sessions

### Follow Price Action

On a trend day we want to follow the price action, this means buying dips on a BULL trend or shorting rips on a BEAR trend.

Typically this means entering trades in the yellow area

{% hint style="success" %}
Look to enter on a pullback

BULL TREND = BULLS BL +3 to +4

BEAR TREND = BEARS BL -3 to -4
{% endhint %}

### Hold Position Beyond 100%

You will make the most money on trend days and you will also lose the most potential gains by selling too early. This is difficult and takes a lifetime to learn.

{% hint style="info" %}
On a trend day you must leave on a few contracts as free runners!
{% endhint %}

9/11/24 was one of the most insane sessions ever.&#x20;

That is a 978.48% return turning $157 into $1,699.00.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F343u4mq6CYgqSALjFWcm%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2010.45.47%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=98d8d289-6dc7-4125-bf64-0f6edf020ca8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

If you leave on 2, you're turning $300 into $3000.

# Bull Trend Strategy

A BULL TREND session is when price goes higher the entire session. These are the absolute best to trade.

We expect price to continue to push higher the entire session, eventually closing at a new high.

Subscribe to the [BULL TREND playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIJxzGjwPv4\&list=PLknW4ck8QlGAHbcjM4tlZBjjUp58byWT-) to learn more:

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIJxzGjwPv4&list=PLknW4ck8QlGAHbcjM4tlZBjjUp58byWT->" %}

If we miss the open, we're looking to enter on the pullback to the yellow area (warning bull risk).

It typically has a few key components:

* High volume over 120%+&#x20;
* Price moves BL +3 in the open session
* Multiple ON FIRE notifications in the open
* Price never goes below BL -1
* All pullbacks are instantly bought back up

The best way to trade them:

{% hint style="success" %}
Enter new positions when price pulls back (nukes) back to the yellow area BL +3 to +5
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Hold positions beyond 100%+, price will likely go into the red BL +5 area
{% endhint %}

[TESLA 11/08/24](https://app.rigged.ai/TSLA/2024-11-08)

10:00 AM volume is 191%, price has moved from $300 to $307.50 (3+ strikes).

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fs7ILToSPRNgQrV6nfJ6z%2FCleanShot%202024-11-10%20at%2012.21.05%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f56feae8-99bb-4e58-872b-55479cff1530" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That's a 3+ strike move, high volume and the initial BULL BOMBS are tagged on fire because they return 100%+ within 1 hr.&#x20;

This tells us... possible BULL TREND session.

As the session progresses there is a brief pullback to BL +3 and then another entry later at BL +5.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FAyAnYiANB4gso8qgbgAK%2FCleanShot%202024-11-10%20at%2012.25.50%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=da3de039-30fa-48c2-9bdf-efabda3f20c7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There will always be pullbacks, there will always be great entries.

There are a number of BULL BOMBS at those levels, each of them are perfect alerts returning 300-481% max gains and never drawing down more than -20%.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FVMzssMBvJlbv4OuRAKz8%2FCleanShot%202024-11-10%20at%2012.34.07%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=ed7c4156-32cd-4ba2-b4e4-91e4d8546969" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[IWM 11/05/24](https://app.rigged.ai/IWM/2024-11-05)

3-Strikes in the first hour, price pulls back to the yellow 221c option and is never lower.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FaOcB5QVGcBhi0iPiVujJ%2FCleanShot%202024-11-10%20at%2012.52.56%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=4ba0f930-4e42-435f-b25b-fa3e604b995e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That's a perfect trade on a bull trend session!


# Bear Trend Strategy

The strategy for trading a BEAR TREND session is identical to a BULL TREND.

We want to exit positions to runners around BL -3 and re-enter puts anywhere in the yellow area of the chart.

You can learn more by subscribing to the [BEAR TREND playlist.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InXJGz3dOJU\&list=PLknW4ck8QlGBXHvqmBqpNNvg6QDHzoU-x)

{% embed url="<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InXJGz3dOJU&list=PLknW4ck8QlGBXHvqmBqpNNvg6QDHzoU-x>" %}

That said BEAR TRENDS are much much more difficult to trade.&#x20;

**1.) Brains are wired for the bounce**

The most common form of mean reversion is price trending down the entire session before bouncing to the blue line at the end.

Brains are wired for this, there will be many different attempts to look like it will bounce.

**2.) BEAR TRENDS go much lower below the blue than BULL TRENDS go above.**

Let's look at SPY since 10/18/2023 (you can confirm this by checking the [daily stats](https://app.rigged.ai/daily).)

SPY BL +5.00 or greater = 17 times

SPY BL -5.00 or lower = 29 times

That's a 70.59% increase!

{% hint style="warning" %}
Basically some sessions it will look super bearish at BL -3 and then they will rip us back to the blue or beyond

But in the sessions they don't do that... they will take price way beyond the red zone BL -5 or lower.
{% endhint %}

[SPY 08/30/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-08-30) is a good example of a fakeout then turbo pump... BL -3 to BL +3.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FA6f9mJY6l7nTur6XPv9k%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2009.18.13%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=42d7a505-3963-4d2d-89c3-3dbbc28ed81f" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Note the chart outline is RED, so we expect mean reversion.

We expect a BEAR TREND when volume is over 120%.

***

### Price Must Stay Below BL -3 for a BEAR TREND

In the first hour we're looking for a move to BL -3 and price has to stay down there.

This is important.

{% hint style="warning" %}
PRICE HAS TO STAY AT OR AROUND BL -3
{% endhint %}

Since the open is the most volatile part of the session, it's not unusual for price to go BL -3 and then bounce back to the blue line.

That's Wall Street killing late chasers.

PRICE MUST STAY AROUND BL -3 TO BE A BEAR TREND!

[SPY 07/25/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-07-25)

Price nukes to BL -3 around 10:10 but immediately rips straight up.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fhnv02YSTP6WvCs0rI5lO%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2009.26.53%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=3ef74753-a6e6-4fcb-bfd1-c49cfc1f7172" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is what you need to watch out for. Price will stay DOWN on a BEAR TREND day, never coming close to the blue.

We've seen this happen many times, so many in fact at the very moment we hit BL -3, you get a BULL BOMB with EDGE and a 77.78% win rate.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FV5txuvpWPWHmkTcrLEHN%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2009.30.16%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=5c242648-104a-4e8c-87d6-cd06276d1650" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It goes on to return 422.97% in 3h 36s, before going negative. It was a crazy session.

{% hint style="info" %}
RIGGED AI does the work for you. You don't have to know this is a good setup. You just need to see 77.78% EDGE BULL BOMB = this thing wins a lot and has probability. Trade it.
{% endhint %}

[SPY 09/03/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-09-03)

BL -3 by 10:30

Price does not breakout and stays in the yellow (warning bear risk zone)

After 13:300 you get a mega nuke to the close before a small bounce

[Check out the session](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-09-03), there are a ton of BEAR BOMBS + KTR fills at that point.

All of them return over 100%.

# Perfect Tags

Trend sessions are the best but perfect tags are a close second.

{% hint style="success" %}
Perfect Tags is when price action moves significantly in both directions resulting in BULL and BEAR AMG (average max gain) both over 100%.
{% endhint %}

[06/03/24 - Perfect Tags](https://app.rigged.ai/session/2024-06-03)

Volume over 120% and 10+ alerts on each side with both returning over 100% at max gain.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FO0ETG6XIjPGxSrv9c9mH%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2013.44.18%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=214cde12-e43d-48bc-8eb5-4b6c3b831946" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

That's a perfect tags session!

You can make money on the way up and then the way down or the way down and then back up.

[SPY 06/03/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-06-03)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FhbY8rU2aJEKeocOquVtP%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2013.54.28%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f3034b7e-b8cc-43ae-b67e-475eada1a89d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It's very easy to label the session after it's over:

💲 Trend session = price pushes further into the red BL +/- 5

🏹 Perfect tags = price swings the opposite way at BL +/- 5

Being able to tell the difference live in the session is much more difficult.

***

## Trading Perfect Tags vs Trend

A perfect tags session means price is going to swing the other direction.

But we only want to attempt swings when we are deep in the red area of the chart.

{% hint style="success" %}
Avoid swings (opposite direction) unless we are deep in the red BL +/- 5

Take swings when price has stalled or stopped, this is the best opportunity
{% endhint %}

If price has moved rapidly into the red like 2 or 3+ strikes in a 30m period, then there's a good chance it will swing the other direction.

[SPY 04/09/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-04-09)

Price nukes 4-strikes in 30m, stalls at 515 and then rips higher back to the yellow area.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FBUwBPGkbVtWhV5CAWBhd%2FCleanShot%202024-11-11%20at%2013.51.29%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=211f247b-c884-46b2-85fc-cc9e740b9dc3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[SPY 07/12/24](https://app.rigged.ai/SPY/2024-07-12)

Price moves deep into the red BL +6 before stalling at the 563 strike.

Strategy:

✅ Only attempt swings deep in the red BL +/- 5 or 6

If you are in a winning trade it will just fly without mercy killing the opposite side. If the swing is stalling or going slow, you should probably risk off.


# Ping Pong

Ping Pong Bing Bong is when price is going nowhere. Do not trade ping pong. Do not hope it will got your way.

Ping Pong Bing Bong is pretty easy.&#x20;

This occurs when price action chops at 1-strike (never touching one higher or lower) or bounces between 2-strikes in a tight range.&#x20;

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/m1Umme5UjaY>" %}

Bounce between strikes:

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FCg4C8b3jVpj6rhcsYs72%2FCleanShot%202024-03-27%20at%2010.16.20%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=6bcd5c44-6776-496f-9963-6718b48a556b" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>just bounces between 515 and 514</p></figcaption></figure>

Ping pong at 1-strike:

It's more important to recognize the two types:

**All Day -** When we ping pong the middle or entire session (typically on nightmare or hard mode)

{% hint style="danger" %}
ALL DAY IS THE WORST TIME TO TRADE DO NOT DO IT
{% endhint %}

**Post Move (consolidation)** - After a 3-strike move price action tends to ping pong

***

## ALL DAY PING PONG

We don't want to take a trade until after 13:00.&#x20;

Then we're looking for an end of day hulk or nuke into the close. We use small trade size "fun money" and know there's a high chance we will lose the trade.&#x20;

Example:\
\
[SPY 3/04/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/spy?\&day=2024-03-04) - has a hulk move that goes 285% in 1 hour before going to 0%. This is a great setup because you get 2 BULLS and 2 LOTTOS in a short timeframe.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FJXmMABSk8Z6SawB699lH%2FCleanShot%202024-03-27%20at%2010.29.25%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=c0f77bad-859d-42d1-a0ce-f6961b927e47" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[SPY 2/14/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?\&day=2024-02-14) - ping pong between 496 and 497 before end of day hulk move with 300% returns

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FrKUmyQvVBmR2tqZz5ci4%2FCleanShot%202024-03-27%20at%2010.52.39%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=238986f5-b970-4f89-bbe1-7015afb6caa1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## POST MOVE PING PONG

After a 3-strike move, price action will typically ping pong before whatever happens next.&#x20;

A lot of people call this consolidation.

**Strategy:**

**Bias for a reversal or pullback:** we "lean" that direction but we're not locked into the idea.&#x20;

**Prepare to chase the breakout:** if price breaks one way or another chase it. Price may go in the direction of the first move.&#x20;

Let's go through two examples:

[SPY 2/16/24 ](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?\&day=2024-02-16)- after a 3-strike move higher, ping pongs at 502 before going lower.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FeaAijcPfb7Hl7bxZFM8q%2FCleanShot%202024-03-27%20at%2010.49.31%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=6aaca593-4198-4799-9364-53dc42a66b77" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

[SPY 1/08/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?\&day=2024-01-08) is totally different.&#x20;

We get a 3-strike move from the open before ping pong between 471 and 472.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fop83M9fTwf4OFAJAcSzg%2FCleanShot%202024-03-27%20at%2011.00.48%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=0587e8e8-684c-4e9e-9be5-41236b0a8526" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Then price breaks higher!

***

**Summary:**

Do not trade ping pong that's been happening the entire session.&#x20;

Bias for reversal after a 3-strike move, but be prepared for price to break either direction

# 0DTE Rules to Follow (wip)

1.) Lose fast, win slow.

2.) Cut losers, don't add to get even

3.) Don't chase price action

3.) Lose fast, win slow

4.) Stalling = Reversal


# Window Theory

The reversal or mean reversion can be one of the best trades out there. It can also kill you.

The OPEN (930-1030) is often the most volatile part of the trading session where we can see 2-3 strikes moves in either direction. The open is not necessary to trade. It's very difficult to gauge where price action will go. That's why we use The Window.&#x20;

<mark style="color:yellow;">The Window is 10:30 - 11:00 directly after the open.</mark>&#x20;

We love THE WINDOW anytime volume is over 100%. We love it even more if volume spikes from 100 to 110 or 120%.

Strategy depends on what happened during the open and where price is from the blue line during the window.

If we're on NIGHTMARE or HARD MODE, then consider the window closed unless K (komodo) gives us a lot of good alerts. &#x20;

Basic strategy:

* If nightmare or hard mode, wait until 1300
* BL -1 and lower, prefer BEAR BOMBS that follow trend, do not trade BULLS.
* Price flat at BL, does not go up or down 2, then wait until after 1300
* BL +1 and higher, prefer BULL BOMBS that follow trend, do not trade BEARS

### <mark style="color:red;">**If price is 1-2 strikes below the blue:**</mark>

THEN

1.) Expect we will go to 3-strikes regardless of volume or tradeability

2.) DO NOT TRADE BULLS until after 1300 (pref KTR, BL -3, PS -10)

3.) Any volume spikes (ex: 110% to 140%) normally indicate price will go beyond 3-strikes

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FxjHq5dRk5fginhCYw6gY%2FCleanShot%202024-06-14%20at%2007.09.58%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=80b29f48-5530-420d-a7a2-48881f4aad0d" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

On SPY 6/13/24 we have three KOMODO alerts where T (tradeability) is HARD MODE.

The BEAR BOMB is late and the BULL BOMBS are early.

Price bottoms out at 12:30 and if you used KTR both trades returned over 100% at max gain.

### <mark style="color:red;">**If price went down but does not return to the blue:**</mark>

**THEN**

1.) It's possible that we will see a trend session down.

2.) If volume is over 100%, then expect 3-strikes in whatever direction it breaks

3.) Normally there will be failed attempts at the blue line before a nuke.

### <mark style="color:blue;">**If price went down but returns to the blue:**</mark>

THEN

1.) It's likely price will continue higher, look for BULLS for confirmation.

2.) DO NOT TRADE BEARS unless we are BL -1

3.) Possible trend session with price closing at a high.

# Trading the Open

First we advise against trading the open, but if you gotta do it then this will probably work.

## Skip the Open

The open (930 - 1030) is when we see the most volatile price action with price quickly moving up or down before completely reversing within minutes.

This happens almost every day in the market due to things like:

* **Pre-market change:** if we open significantly higher or lower than the previous close
* **Overnight news & reports:** markets will react to CPI reports, earnings releases, geopolitics
* **Positioning for the session:** if Wall Street is setting us up for a massive pump, they love to nuke the price first

{% hint style="danger" %}
The open is the most difficult time to trade and not recommended for beginners!
{% endhint %}

[SPY 11/13/24](https://app.rigged.ai/session/2024-11-13)

* 09:50 - Price starts to nuke from the blue line
* 10:08 - Price has moved 2.5 strikes lower
* 10:35 - Almost the entire move is retraced

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FFhJUVOUNfHEbWxqXHGd6%2FCleanShot%202024-11-14%20at%2008.08.42%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=4739195d-28e1-47ec-9742-113334cafb00" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

18 minutes to go down 2.5 strikes and then 27 minutes to retrace almost the entire thing.

This happens almost every day in the market.

### Trading the Open (Advanced)

Year to date the best performing 0DTE strategy for the open has been SPY & QQQ [EDGE ALERTS](/guide/win-rate-and-edge-alerts) with 50% WR and [Volume](/guide/volume-tradeability) over 110.

From 01/01/24 - 11/13/24 there are 68 trades and using the advanced strategy <mark style="color:yellow;">you're returning 56.07%.</mark>

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FdjHT1BGnDLejIXkd4g8J%2FCleanShot%202024-11-14%20at%2008.37.55%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=33b5ba87-d19d-4083-ae16-cdff94107d2e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

P\&L jumps to +66.46% if you only trade QQQ.


# TKO System

Tradeability, Komodo, On Fire

TKO is an acronym for; Tradeability, Komodo, On Fire.

Each of them are covered in detail in the documentation found on this page. It’s a lot to learn and takes time to master. The more effort you put into learning, the better your trading results may be. Ultimately it’s up to you.

[TRADEABILITY](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability) - What Could Happen

[KOMODO](/strategy/tko-system/komodo-2.0-and-ktr) - What Has Happened

[ON FIRE](#on-fire-whats-happening-winning) - What’s Happening (Winning)

***

## 📊 TRADEABILITY - What Could Happen

Tradeability is based off of Wall Street’s option flow and tells us what could happen or what to expect regarding price action during the session.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
If Wall Street is actively participating in the market then trading will be easy, if they’re on the sidelines and there’s no alerts or volume it will be difficult to impossible.
{% endhint %}

There are five different modes each with their own strategy given expected

* [Nightmare](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability#nightmare-mode)
* [Hard Mode](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability#hard-mode-v-90-100)
* [Normal](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability#normal-mode-v-100-110) (either difficult or super easy)
* [Easy Mode](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability#easy-mode-v-110-120)&#x20;
* [Full Send](/strategy/tko-system/tradeability#full-send-mode-v-120)&#x20;

Think of them like video game difficulty ( naming came from a bit of inspiration stolen from DOOM).&#x20;

Nightmare mode means price action will be weak and it’s going to be nearly impossible to return 100% on trades whereas Full Send sessions are typically the best days to trade.

Tradeability is updated throughout the session and includes strategy, suggested trade size, time and profit targets.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FJgnp36pRjPpGwDaKb7tx%2FCleanShot%202024-05-20%20at%2010.56.02%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=1b8ec042-405d-4d7a-92b8-6bced5254212" alt=""><figcaption><p>you can monitor changes in the right hand box</p></figcaption></figure>

Members can receive notification updates via email alerts and in the [**discord channel**](https://discord.com/channels/1119257363174666330/1212168218748129280)**.**

<mark style="color:yellow;">Traders should pay close attention the strategy box and follow alerts that match the strategy!</mark>

If an alert matches the strategy: then we move from T (tradeability) to K (komodo).

**Generally our preferred rules are:**

❌ Nightmare, Hard or Normal mode, wait until after 1300 (1pm EST) to look for trades for the end of day rippy or nuke into the close.

✅ Easy Mode or Full Send - lock in and look to follow the price action to 3-strikes+ and get back into trades that follow the price action ([trend day](broken://pages/9OOQFEkuEVeusHAD8Hcv)).

Remember tradeability gives us an expectation for price action, but remember markets are going to do whatever Wall Street wants to happen.

***

### Tradeability Nightmare Example:

Each mode has its own strategy guide on how we expect the session to play out.

SPY 05/17/24 is a textbook example of tradeability working perfectly.&#x20;

#### 9:59 AM - Nightmare Mode

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F20KbHHN5NVxtoJ5qZO0d%2FCleanShot%202024-05-20%20at%2011.13.15%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=112184da-07fc-42b8-b323-f43bf820ac9c" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Tradeability tell us:

* Not to trade before 1300
* Only trade BULLS below the blue line with -PS
* Look for mean reversion to the blue line
* 3-strikes doubtful

#### 13:00 Begin looking for trades

13:00 arrives and the price action is a total nightmare just [ping pong](/price-action/ping-pong) at the blue line.

We're only interested in BULLS below the blue line or BEARS above.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FXYC745WtGYW6H2W6JLso%2FCleanShot%202024-05-20%20at%2011.15.48%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=dd02dc5b-bebb-40ea-b792-2251abb08ec1" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

At 14:15 the first BULL below the blue line comes in. Price has moved down rapidly, we don't want or need to blindly jump full yolo into the trade.&#x20;

KOMODO shows us a low WR (win rate), but relatively high max gain and for the second bull bomb -11.17% DHD.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FMWKdogLwnndQnNvDTtP1%2FCleanShot%202024-05-20%20at%2011.20.38%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=8b1f89ec-39e6-40ef-815f-83bbe6507a0d" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Because the difference between diamond handing (holding until end of the session) is close to max gain, we know that if the trade wins it means we're going to hulk pump into the close. Since it's nightmare mode, we can take the trade with small size and this is on where you win BIG!

***

## 🦎 KOMODO - What Has Happened

[KOMODO](/strategy/tko-system/komodo-2.0-and-ktr) is the second module on RIGGED’s option alerts that are powered by AI and machine learning algorithms running through thousands of lines of historical data.&#x20;

Traders can use KOMODO to determine if they want to enter a trade.

**KOMODO stats include:**

**WR (win rate)** - The percentage of alerts in the subcollection that returned over 100% with no drawdown consideration. Higher values are preferred.

**P (p-value)** - The statistical significance of the win rate. EDGE equals strong correlation, ADV suggests correlation, ZERO means not enough data.

**KTR (komodo target range) -** The range where the winning alert drawsdown to on average, a great place to place bids!

**DHD (diamond hand difference)** - the percentage change between max gain and end of session returns. Green values suggest longer hold times. Red values suggest take the money and run.

**Some thoughts on KOMODO:**

KOMODO looks at A LOT OF DATA to calculate its stats. We like to see a WR of 50% or higher and EDGE to take a large trade size.

MDA is important because if it's lower than -20%, it means we can often find a better entry target.

Traders should always think about how much time is remaining in the session and what's required for them to win the trade.

Always lose small and sometimes win big.

***

### **QQQ 05/14/24 KOMODO beats TRADEABILITY**

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FnpajStWkhBVsQEMlce7Q%2FCleanShot%202024-05-20%20at%2011.53.09%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=fce74750-ce0b-474c-b6cc-c6cef3e8d147" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The BULL BOMBS has a 55.56% win rate with EDGE (statistically significant) and the BEAR BOMB has 12.50% win rate where P = ZERO (no significance).

The BULL BOMB returns a 473.70% max gain in 2 hours and 380.09% if bought and held until the end of the session.

{% hint style="info" %}
TRADEABILITY gives us strategy and difficulty (what could happen and what to look for).

KOMODO tells us what's happened with similar alerts before. Past performance does not guarantee future results, but in the world of 0DTE trading we see a lot of the same setups over and over again.

ON FIRE tells us what's actually happening (alerts that are winning).
{% endhint %}

***

## 🔥 ON FIRE - What’s Happening (Winning)

T (tradeability) can be on “FULL SEND” or "EASY MODE" &#x20;

K (komodo) alerts can have 60% WR and EDGE

And nothing can happen and they can all get completely destroyed by the lizard people who control the stock market.

Markets are going to market.

That's why we created ON FIRE 🔥

ON FIRE notifications are sent via discord and email whenever <mark style="color:yellow;">**an option alert returns 100% in under 30 minutes.**</mark>&#x20;

Here's why:

Whenever we get volatility, it normally continues throughout the session.&#x20;

We want to trade options when the market is moving slow and touch grass when it's not.

Volatility is guaranteed when the [ON FIRE channel](https://discord.com/channels/1119257363174666330/1231330767641116733) is pinging over and over.

**ON FIRE price action =**

TREND DAY and the alert and subsequent alerts of the same side will go 200% to 300% or higher.

or

PERFECT TAGS of BULLS on bottoms and bears on tops, easy to trade and switch sides and ultimately make money.

{% hint style="info" %}
🔥 **ON FIRE IS THE STRONGEST SIGNAL TO PAY ATTENTION TO THE SYMBOL.**

**WHATEVER IS ON FIRE (SPY, QQQ, NVDA, TSLA etc)... PAY ATTENTION AND FOLLOW TRADEABILITY!**
{% endhint %}

### NVIDIA ON FIRE 5/17/24

At 14:04 you receive the notification that the 13:41 306 BEAR BOMB hits a 104.99% gain in only 21 minutes.

THIS IS A SIGNAL TO PAY ATTENTION TO NVIDIA!

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Flo4KiWCg0vR4il0peYdQ%2FCleanShot%202024-05-20%20at%2012.38.58%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=031d2e4f-9f1d-4911-8b77-7c967cd02413" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Another BEAR CHASE follows up the alert and has a 50% win rate. It returns 156% in 30 minutes.&#x20;

The 930 strike is 3-down from the blue line (opening price).

If we followed tradeability and went to runners (free contracts) lower than 925, we got our 100% trade and go out.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F3tW0X9y9cNmJBo7WbiVW%2FCleanShot%202024-05-20%20at%2012.45.58%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=7168376d-e27d-43ee-aa4d-d341678b49c7" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

## TKO System Thoughts:

The stock market is PVP lizard vs lizard and lizards versus retail. RIGGED is designed to let anyone copytrade Wall Street because they have better information, resources and trading skills. However we cannot follow them blindly.&#x20;

TKO is the simplest way to stay out of bad sessions and trade good ones aggressively.&#x20;

Here's how we like to use it:

1.) The first TRADEABILITY update is at 10am and anything other than FULL SEND or EASY MODE, we're not even going to look at the market until after 1300.

2.) KOMODO alerts with a 50%+ WR and EDGE are preferred. If they match tradeability (aka bull below the blue in the final session), then we will trade with larger size.&#x20;

3.) ON FIRE is new to RIGGED and we'll start sharing it more in the documentation and our videos. Tradeability will tell you it's a possible trend day, when ON FIRE is going crazy then you know it really is one.

Future youtube videos released to the channel will cover the TKO system for each session.

TKO will get you into good trades and keep you out of bad ones. Trading is still EXTREMELY HARD. It's important to familiarize yourself with the other concepts such as [trend days,](broken://pages/ZirRZYlzyOpFMLwUbfRY) [mean reversion](broken://pages/1GBLWuZ9QgSURxlR2Zr8), [ping pong](/price-action/ping-pong) and the [RIGGED concepts](broken://pages/Y57LgtqPDLnW6Q9d2T4F).


# Tradeability Modes

One session with high tradeability can make your week, month or year.

RIGGED tracks Wall Street’s option volume (the number of sweeps / block trades detected) to calculate **tradeability**.&#x20;

Why?&#x20;

Institutional option volume is the most reliable indicator for the difficulty to return 100% with option alerts.

Think of it this way... if Wall Street is not actively participating in the market then nothing is going to happen. They never miss a chance to make money.

Therefore, we want to trade aggressively when it's easy (tradeable) and stay out (or go small) when it's hard.&#x20;

To simplify this RIGGED assigns a difficulty level to each symbol during the session.&#x20;

* **NIGHTMARE**
* **HARD MODE**&#x20;
* **NORMAL**&#x20;
* **EASY MODE**&#x20;
* **FULL SEND IT**

Each level comes with its own strategy, profit targets, and preferred setups.&#x20;

Remember there will always be epic alerts in nightmare mode and terrible ERIC'd bombs in easy mode.&#x20;

Next we'll cover each of the modes with explainers.&#x20;

***

## NIGHTMARE MODE

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FFDZjTrFhB8dykMVy34cs%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=c225310f-182e-42cb-997b-d03cf2db4c2b" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Strategy:**&#x20;

Do not trade before 1300. Only trade BULLS below with -PS and BEARS +PS above the blue line. At the end of the session look for mean reversion to the blue line or a possible hulk / nuke into the close.

| Price Action   | Mean Reversion   |
| -------------- | ---------------- |
| 3-Strikes:     | Doubtful         |
| Trade Size:    | Fun money        |
| Profit Target: | Don’t lose money |

**Commentary:**

There are actually some incredible option alerts in the example dates. Just wait until the end of session before trying anything!

## HARD MODE (V: 90 - 100%)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FkCYJUzFXSnp1TRkzzbch%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=0649c673-4db6-426d-b13e-a53f507981a9" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Strategy:**&#x20;

Look for a reversal at 3-strikes. Only trade BULLS below, BEARS above and either at the blue line. At the blue line check PS to see if you’re late to the move. Avoid ping pong, prefer trades after 1300.

| Price Action   | Mean Reversion |
| -------------- | -------------- |
| 3-Strikes:     | Possible       |
| Trade Size:    | Small          |
| Profit Target: | 25 - 50%       |

**Commentary:**

Hard mode may be more difficult than nightmare. The 90% volume area is pretty much a deadzone. Wait until the end, have some fun with it and dont lose much.&#x20;

**Strategy:**&#x20;

Can chase price action to 2-strikes as it’s likely we go to 3 or beyond. Risk off to runners with BULLS +2 and BEARS -2. If price action is choppy, stay out of the market and wait until after 1300. Do not trade alerts if you are late.

| Price Action   | Unclear        |
| -------------- | -------------- |
| 3-Strikes:     | Likely         |
| Trade Size:    | Small - Medium |
| Profit Target: | 50 - 100%      |

**Commentary:**

Normal mode can be amazing if it turns into a trend day. This is rare but occassionally it does happen. Try to stick with BULLS below and BEARS above. Add to winners and cut losers quickly.&#x20;

**Strategy:**&#x20;

Possible trend day. Follow the price action (BULLS +PS, BEARS -PS) and go to runners at 3-strikes. Price may move rapidly. Do not trade swings unless they are 3-strikes up or down.

| Price Action   | Trend or Perfect Tags |
| -------------- | --------------------- |
| 3-Strikes:     | Definitely            |
| Trade Size:    | Large                 |
| Profit Target: | 100%+                 |

**Strategy:**&#x20;

LOCK IN! Follow price action (BULLS +PS, BEARS -PS) and prepare to hold a large position beyond 3-strikes for max gain. Expect a trend day with price closing at a session high or low. Do not attempt swings unless PS is close to +/- 10.

| Price Action   | Trend or Perfect Tags |
| -------------- | --------------------- |
| 3-Strikes:     | Guaranteed            |
| Trade Size:    | Full                  |
| Profit Target: | 150%+                 |

**Commentary:**

The biggest difference between FULL SEND and EASY MODE is that when we trend in one direction and go past 4+ strikes, the brain kind of explodes. You think no way it will keep going. Try your best to hold onto runners for max gain.

# KOMODO 2.0 & KTR

RIGGED alerts now include the win rate and statistical significance!

KOMODO 2.0 has officially launched on RIGGED!

KOMODO uses all 300 lines of RIGGED AI's historical data to give you an instant historical performance stats for every option alert.

Here's how we view them in order of importance: P, WR, then KTR.

## **P (probability)** - the statistical significance of the data

There are three separate values:

<mark style="color:blue;">**EDGE**</mark> - likely to perform at historical averages, likely not random

<mark style="color:green;">**ADV**</mark> - advantage, possible to perform at historical average, possibly not random.

<mark style="color:red;">**ZERO**</mark> - not enough data to determine whether random or not.

{% hint style="info" %}
EDGE alerts are preferred and typically have a high win rate over 40%.&#x20;

ADV alerts are not great and should probably only be KTR2 type of trades.&#x20;

The majority of alerts will fall under ZERO which means the historical data should be treated as completely random and traders should fall back to TRADEABILITY.
{% endhint %}

***

### WR (win rate) - how often this alert returns 100%

Every BULL or BEAR option alert includes a strike and strike price at the time of the alert. The alert is considered a "win" if the strike price hits a 100% return at any time during the session. Winning alerts do not factor in drawdown (loss) from the strike price.&#x20;

<mark style="color:yellow;">**There is significant variance in drawdown average.**</mark>

Less than 10% of all option alerts with 50% WR (win rate) and EDGE (probability) are profitable from the time of the alert until a 100% gain.&#x20;

Option prices can drawdown -95% or more and still return over 100% by the end of the session.

Traders who want to be successful using the RIGGED system should probably:\
\
✅ Look to trade alerts with <mark style="color:blue;">**EDGE**</mark> & HIGH WR

✅ Try to find a better entry on EDGE Alerts by using KTR.

Look at this example from [5/31/24 on QQQ](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/qqq?\&day=2024-05-31) there are 3 BULL BOMBS with 55.56% WR + EDGE, everything we like to take the trade.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FM3aYsrIPJwPYtBBxXJk4%2FCleanShot%202024-06-05%20at%2007.32.39%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=4ca0c1dc-261d-4999-80b2-85b27b1bddf7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

However they all had massive drawdowns before eventually returning 370.26%, 227.86% and 113.16%.

Even though these alerts went to -90%, KOMODO still considers the option alert to be a win and the WR and EDGE will increase.&#x20;

Because drawdown varies significantly for each alert and is not included in WR (win rate), traders should use KTR and KTR2 as potential entry targets.

If price moves in your direction and your entry is KTR and KTR2, trade gains can be many multiples higher than the start price return.&#x20;

***

## KOMODO TARGET RANGE (KTR + KTR2)

KTR is a range where for the average drawdown before the option alert wins (returns 100%+).&#x20;

Traders can set limit orders anywhere between the low and high end.

It is best to use KTR when the option alert has:

🔵 EDGE (statistically probable)

🟢 ADV (almost statistically probable)

When P = ZERO, trades can still use KTR but may prefer the low end or even KTR2 since there is no statistical probability for the alert.&#x20;

Here's an example of a 100% trade using KTR.

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/Br01PYFTIUQ?si=VyRqebTjggvxo15z>" %}

The option price may never enter KTR (always higher) or the option price may nuke below it.

Generally we prefer to set a tighter stop loss (-10%) for our KTR trades as this is the expected area where price bounces.&#x20;

If we lose the trade, we'll look to re-enter if price moves in the necessary direction or if it's opposite we'll consider KTR2.&#x20;

***

### KTR Trade Strategy:

From the account page we like to use KOMODO only alerts and then 40% + WR for everything else.&#x20;

This way we're only getting email notifications for high probability alerts.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FsSsQ0qlT9WDI5la3CIqD%2FCleanShot%202024-06-12%20at%2011.16.09%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=bc0d8d87-1f25-4ec9-aa3f-a9f4a48bd6ba" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We're going to post a few case studies but when a high WR alert with EDGE comes in you want to do the following:

#### **1.) AM I LATE TO THE MOVE?**

If price has moved 1-strike or greater in the last 30m to 1hr (not exact science) then you may be late to the move.&#x20;

We like to use the blue line.&#x20;

BULLS EDGE HIGH WR BL 0.50 - 1.50 = ✅ TRADE IT

BEARS EDGE HIGH WR BL -0.50 - -1.50 = ✅ TRADE IT

Anything beyond 2-strikes on NORMAL, HARD or NIGHTMARE, is LATE TO THE MOVE and you should move to KTR.

If you're not late, then we can enter small with limit orders and add to the position if the trade goes our way. We want a full size position at KTR.

Stop loss 10-20%

#### **2.) SET KTR TARGETS**

Remember KTR is the average drawdown for the alert.&#x20;

If the alert wins at 64% rate, then the KTR win rate HAS to be significantly higher (we're working on tracking this now).&#x20;

Here's a good example form 6/11/24 on SPY.&#x20;

BL is 1.05, PS 4.03 a bit high, but we're not super late. KTR hits at 0.54 in 12 minutes after the alert is fired.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FVJkHQs2tYvpgJXvdk1Qm%2FCleanShot%202024-06-12%20at%2011.22.20%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=5f1f6d43-6f60-44f4-8c9d-d73f7ca16e13" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Your KTR returns are 250% to end the session.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Early results indicate that if KTR hits (price hits that range), then it either explodes out of it or nukes past it. Use a tight stop loss of 10% when entering KTR. You can always re-enter if you get stomped out.
{% endhint %}

#### ULTRA DEGEN MODE KTR2

KTR2 is half of KTR.&#x20;

If we have an alert with a high WR (win rate) + 🔵 EDGE and are feeling extremely dangerous, then you can attempt KTR2.

**Early indicators:**

✅ Can be very useful for HIGH WR + EDGE alerts from the open session

✅ Often drawdown even lower, can set bids below KTR2 for the best entry

✅ Using a stoploss will likely limit gains, but every trader is different!

Here's an example from SPY 06/04/24 - the 10:00 BULL BOMB has a 48% WR and EDGE.

KTR is 0.61 - 0.67 - and if you entered in this area you would have been stopped out on the trade.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F2vdIirCTvMXl1RppUggl%2FCleanShot%202024-06-05%20at%2008.41.25%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=76624812-23d2-4e47-828c-f6de87512d07" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

However KTR2 is 0.31 - 0.34.

It's a bull market and we're bullish, so we set a limit order for the 527c option at KTR2 0.32 with a 20% stop loss.&#x20;

The order would have filled around 12:10 and the low price for the 527c option is 0.29 (only -9.38% down), so we are "in the trade".&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FanRlOMPJ7XnDhGYAINqI%2FCleanShot%202024-06-05%20at%2008.49.24%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=e120af5b-32db-4935-8e2b-e6f65df6ba10" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The market moves up quickly from there and price action is supported by additional bullish flow (bombs + florbs).&#x20;

Look at the difference between Start, KTR and KTR2 using 0.29 as the low, 2.20 as the high and 1.29 as the final price.

| Entry       | Price | Drawdown | Max Gain                                      | DHR                                           |
| ----------- | ----- | -------- | --------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
| Start Price | 0.89  | -67.42%  | 147.19%                                       | 44.94%                                        |
| KTR         | 0.63  | -53.97%  | 249.21%                                       | 104.76%                                       |
| KTR2        | 0.32  | -9.38%   | <mark style="color:green;">**587.50%**</mark> | <mark style="color:green;">**303.13%**</mark> |

KTR2 is a MASSIVE winner.&#x20;

Obviously this will not always work, but when it does you will win big.


# ON FIRE Alerts

On Fire alerts are triggered when an option alert returns 100% in under 1 hour. This is the strongest signal to pay attention!

<mark style="color:green;">TRADEABILITY</mark> is what *could* happen (price action expectation based on volume)

<mark style="color:blue;">KOMODO + KTR</mark> is what *has* happened (historical performance of similar alerts)

<mark style="color:red;">ON FIRE</mark> is **what is happening** (real-time performance of RIGGED alerts)

ON FIRE alerts are sent by email and discord whenever an option alert returns 100% in under one hour. This is the strongest signal to pay attention to the symbol.

When we receive an ON FIRE alert for a symbol, **we use TRADEABILITY and KOMODO to guide our trades!**

Ideally you have 3/3 TKO or 2 out of 3.

### NVIDIA ON FIRE FULL SEND

Let's use [5/31/24 on NVIDIA as an example](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/NVDA?\&day=2024-05-31)

At 10:19 AM we receive two ON FIRE alerts for bear bombs returning 100% in 23m and 10m.&#x20;

This is our signal to pay attention to NVIDIA and visit the flow page.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fi8NonDbOHkbWuFfcDcJ4%2FCleanShot%202024-06-06%20at%2010.51.07%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=cb88a27f-9d47-4ad1-a8ad-eb3770129e9f" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We've got the O.

Next we need to look at TRADEABILITY and KOMODO.

At 10:19 two more BEAR BOMBS are triggered. Volume is going up and we quickly move from NORMAL, to EASY MODE to FULL SEND at 10:31.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F711D9mWpyjSjmnSGzX3g%2FCleanShot%202024-06-06%20at%2011.09.30%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=496bc728-af57-4829-b461-14abd713cbd5" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

TRADEABILITY says to follow the price action which in this case is a down move. We want BEARS -PS.

We can take the 10:19 BEAR or wait for a bounce, then get into the trade.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FXydW6bMnIliVFIvo64GE%2FCleanShot%202024-06-06%20at%2010.53.30%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=35b34fc1-6c2f-4cb3-a4b0-87a9148f7565" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

With a bit more patience, we see a number of BEAR BOMBS fire off during the middle of the session before we reach a low at 1075.

The high WR BEAR BOMBS with edge all return 100%+ depending on the timing of your entry.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FfTndq0LEsfptdw5vAqLE%2FCleanShot%202024-06-06%20at%2011.00.26%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=566187df-5f55-4ffe-a682-ecdd48756af6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Most of the winning alerts had a significant drawdown of 50%+. [We've introduced KTR2 ](broken://pages/6xyKFsI5lSPXNFFK2He2)which gives us a lower entry range for high win rate alerts. Using KTR2 on NVIDIA 5/31/24 would have absolutely crushed it.


# TKO - Case Studies

Examples of great TKO using the RIGGED system


# SPY TKO Perfection Case Study 6/3/24

It doesn't get better than this. June 3, is the perfect example of the RIGGED TKO system working flawlessly. In this case study we'll break it down session by session.

**See the alerts:** [**https://app.rigged.ai/flows/spy?\&day=2024-06-03**](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/spy?\&day=2024-06-03)

**OPEN SESSION 930 - 1030:**

Open at the 529 strike and immediately TRADEABILITY has us in FULL SEND MODE.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F4QJZPZ6WpI3gfEGEd9xt%2FCleanShot%202024-06-07%20at%2008.14.35%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=85c53f93-2414-4dcd-bd23-b6d13c8e7696" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We use TRADEABILITY to give us a bias for what may happen in the session.&#x20;

FULL SEND basically guarantees a 3+ strike move in one direction.

Whatever direction price decides to go, we want to follow it.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FXWxM6AIuEksBlOOQbYA5%2FCleanShot%202024-06-07%20at%2008.07.09%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=acc52fff-dbf7-427e-a3f6-1e5dcb023161" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

9:50 - FIRST MOVE DOWN 1 STRIKE TO 528 THEN PING PONG

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Ff8D61nUtoSfVSpO8NGrd%2FCleanShot%202024-06-07%20at%2008.26.26%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=d0a37d7b-ca57-4b80-a36d-1b080a9dc3d9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

We've moved down 1-strike from the open.&#x20;

TRADEABILITY FULL SEND tells us to anticipate 3+ strikes in any direction. Since it's a down move we are looking for BEAR BOMBS.&#x20;

Since we're actively looking for trades, we go to KOMODO next.

KOMODO is pretty smart and only gets better over time.&#x20;

At 10:48 the 250 SPY BEAR BOMB has a 76% WIN RATE (100%+ return no drawdown consideration).

It also tells us that the BULL BOMBS at 11:08 and 11:21 only win at 17.86%! That is not a trade we want to take!

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F51Nu5oejVllLwW1oHMN7%2FCleanShot%202024-06-07%20at%2008.25.21%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f35e9fcd-5f89-4687-b5f1-2bab298dfeba" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Note there were no P-Values (probability) for either of these alerts. The 76% WR BEAR is probably too high and the 17.86% WR BULL may be too low.&#x20;

It gets better from here but look how it plays out.&#x20;

# KOMODO - QQQ 58.00% WR EDGE BULL - 495% Return

Incredible alert

KOMODO says 58% WR with EDGE. The max drawdown was 8.99% in 22m from the alert and during this time you could have filled at the high end of KTR 0.54.

The option closed at 3.04 giving you a 498.15% return.

## **(K) KOMODO:**

The alerts start flying off and just look at how incredible these are.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FORImNrksHK4zW4bTLonH%2FCleanShot%202024-06-12%20at%2011.58.15%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=a7381c78-b5de-420b-b2a7-05f73666e642" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You have three alerts in a row with EDGE and 81.82% WR.

It does not get better than that, especially considering they return 434 - 545% just buying and holding until the end of the session.

Tradeability says trend day.

Komodo says THESE OPTION ALERTS WIN A LOT!

***

## **(O) ON FIRE:**

The first ON FIRE events happen at 10:00 with the two 81.82% WR BULLS returning over 100% in 24 and 25 minutes.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FZR7KzBkIUeD1gO71g7eK%2FCleanShot%202024-06-11%20at%2014.40.23%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=eb483b1d-9402-49ea-8cfd-0906161623f4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is the strongest signal to pay attention!

As you can see we were late to this trade and started adding to our position at 10:03, just minutes after the ON FIRE alert was received.&#x20;

# RIGGED Rules

The first rule of RIGGED AI is thou shall not take every alert as soon as it's received. Unless you have balls of adamantium and can hodl through hell.

Welcome to RIGGED AI.&#x20;

We hope you enjoy your stay.&#x20;

Our system is designed to help you PROFIT when Wall Street wins. Sometimes they win, sometimes they don't&#x20;

You should read EVERYTHING on the docs if you want to accelerate your learning.&#x20;

## **1.) ALERT DOES NOT EQUAL INSTANT TRADE**

❌ <mark style="color:red;">**DO NOT TAKE EVERY ALERT**</mark>

RIGGED AI alerts are sent when the algorithm detect large option sweeps from Wall Street.

Sometimes Wall Street wins immediately.&#x20;

Sometimes Wall Street gets crushed (by a bigger lizard).

Markets are PVP.

**Let's use 12/6/23 on QQQ for example:**

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FiYEuFjvymOygsBQ0D8ai%2FCleanShot%202023-12-10%20at%2012.05.29%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=2623cfc7-a575-4a2c-bb43-de5ea97e8f03" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**10:51 - 246 BULL BOMB - PS -0.58 - V: 106.03%**

This alert is a complete loser. The max gain is only +21.89% and ends up closing at 0.01.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FfGh3uH3UPD58H1Ix7Qyw%2FCleanShot%202023-12-10%20at%2011.53.51%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=9b94f129-9f1a-4297-b54b-b60d12b4ec7e" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**11:02 - 252 BEAR BOMB - PS -0.14 - V: 108.14%**

This trade is a winner returning +232.21% if you bought at the time of the alert and did nothing until the end of the session.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FmLvhKvL8IM28yhJ5x1YW%2FCleanShot%202023-12-10%20at%2011.56.31%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=412c45df-e8d2-4df3-82c0-fcb830e6b780" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

## **2.) ALWAYS LOOK FOR A BETTER ENTRY**

Sometimes you can trade an alert immediately and it CRUSHES pumping straight to 100%. These alerts and days are rare. They seem to happen more frequently when volume is above 100%.&#x20;

MOST OF THE TIME... you can search for a better entry.

Here's an example from [12/18/23 on the QQQ](https://beta.rigd.ai/flows/QQQ?\&day=2023-12-18)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FLwvi07L51OzzGoJFzCE2%2FCleanShot%202023-12-18%20at%2016.39.14%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=827f2c9c-ec9d-4ba4-90a1-15e5a25a6114" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The BULL BOMB fires at 9:36, but then price starts to come down.

If you waited you could have gotten in the 405c and made 300%+.

PATIENCE.

**Basic strategy:**

The lizards will often trigger a RIGD Alert at the strike price.&#x20;

If we wait, we can often get a better entry price.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**Basic strategy:**

Look for puts and calls slightly out of the money.

Ex: SPY 450p - you may want to enter when SPY is 450.20+

Ex: QQQ 405c - you may want to enter when QQQ is 404.70
{% endhint %}

Under this strategy you will make A LOT MORE if price moves in your direction.

You will also lose A LITTLE LESS than if you bought the option at the money.

**Advanced mode:**

Under high volume and the market is trending (up or down), we can take the alert immediately and then look to add to our position on any drops.&#x20;

There are times when this happens and can be incredibly profitable.&#x20;

***

## **3.) EXIT AT THE STRIKE PRICES (OR BE PREPARED / SCARED)**

Strike prices (even dollar values) are the only thing that matter in 0DTE.

What happens at the strike will depend if you're going to be extremely rich or extremely poor depending on the side you're on (puts or calls).

If we are trading calls, we do not enter the hope phase (that we're going to get 100%+) until price is 40 cents higher than our strike.&#x20;

**Ex:** \
\
10:57: We buy 100x QQQ 408c for 0.84 per contract

11:12: QQQ has moved up spot is 408.12 and the contracts are 0.99

At this time we are terribly afraid that price will nuke below 408 and we will lose the 18% in gains we're currently holding.&#x20;

There are a few options here:

**1.) Set a trailing stop loss**

If you are happy with 18%, you can set a trailing stop loss to 0.01 or 0.02 and if price nukes you will get out with some profit.&#x20;

**2.) Set a stop loss limit order**

If we set a stop loss limit order for 0.90, we can buy some "protection" in case price nukes.&#x20;

Using a stop loss limit order we would only make 7.12% if price nukes, but we wouldn't lose any money.&#x20;

Ultimately it's up to the trader to decide what strategy for taking profit works best with their style and how much risk they can handle.&#x20;

For us we like to risk 30% for 100%+.

Not everyone can do this. We don't recommend it.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Noob 0DTE people:**\
\
If you are new to this world, first a warm welcome.&#x20;

You are not prepared to trade size you are not prepared for how your life is going to be changed completely after this.&#x20;

When you first start, the ONLY thing you should be trying to do is going green. Not losing money.&#x20;

This will result in closing many positions early.&#x20;

That's okay.&#x20;

Learning how to trade options never ends, do not lose money when you're first learning.&#x20;

It takes at least 3+ months to become familiar with the RIGD AI system.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

***

## 4.) NEVER STEP IN FRONT OF THE TRAIN

If price is going parabolic to the upside we call it a hulk.&#x20;

If price is nose diving straight to hell, we call it a nuke. \
\
If you see either of these happening, <mark style="color:red;">**do not try and be early to the reversal.**</mark>&#x20;

You are better off chasing the move than trying to be superman and stepping in front of the hulk or the nuke.&#x20;

It can be highly profitable to catch the reversal or even the rally, but you should not try and do it until we are 3.5 - 4 strikes above or below the blue line.&#x20;

Even then highly dangerous.&#x20;


# Option Alerts

RIGGED sends option alerts when unusual trades are detected. There are four different alert types; BOMBS, SWINGS, CHASE and LOTTO.

Each alert comes with an AI weighted score where 1 is roughly equal to 1000. There is no statistically significant correlation between score and profitability, which means 500 score bombs make money just as often as 300 score.

<mark style="color:yellow;">**Traders should consider PS (position score) and strategy before score.**</mark>&#x20;

***

## ALERT TYPES:

### BOMBS

Large option trades.

BULL BOMBS = bullish option flow (calls bought and puts sold).

BEAR BOMBS = bearish option flow (puts bought and calls sold).

***

### SWINGS

A large option trade after a swing in volatility.

BULL SWING = bullish option flow after the price of the underlying has rapidly decreased.

BEAR SWING = bearish option flow after the price of the underlying has rapidly increased.

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/eYdLmTAtkY8?si=WrZvwIJxJ-9_jjMK>" %}

***

### CHASE

Large option trade that "chases" the price action. \
\
BULL CHASE = bullish option flow after the price of the underlying has rapidly increased.

BEAR CHASE = bearish option flow after the price of the underlying has rapidly decreased.

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/WAgJ7Q1dNkE?si=TdGMNpIVn4kKQfbE>" %}

***

### LOTTO

Out of the money (OTM) trade for 1000+ contracts.

Extremely high risk / high return alert type, traders should treat lottos like their name either 100% or 0%.

## **ALERT TERMS:**

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FqbpfYAMr4DXGzTdLKRJG%2FCleanShot%202024-03-22%20at%2010.45.16%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=42190c89-f689-4ed0-b569-b1bd20aebee4" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**STRATEGY GUIDE** - basic strategy to know whether you're at an advantage or disadvantage.

* **PS** - preferred values
* **Size** - recommended trade size
* **Session** - preferred sessions
* **Target** - potential profit target


# The 3-Strike Rule

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/ue_ZDsCPiGg?si=AeCwboQ3Joo504y6>" %}


# The Blue Line Rule

The change of a symbol's price from the blue line tells us whether we're at an advantage or disadvantage.

{% embed url="<https://youtu.be/ue_ZDsCPiGg?si=AeCwboQ3Joo504y6>" %}

When RIGGED fires an alert, the first thing you need to identify is whether you're at an advantage or disadvantage.&#x20;

This will keep you out of low probability trades.

For being so important the concept is relatively simple.&#x20;

**BL =&#x20;**<mark style="color:yellow;">**the change in price from the blue line.**</mark>

**PS =&#x20;**<mark style="color:yellow;">**the position score**</mark>**&#x20;(a combination of the open, intraday high and intraday low).**

Higher (more positive) values equal more risk for BULLS.

Lower (more negative) values equal more risk for BEARS.

That's it!

If you can train your brain to understand that positive scores are more risk for BULLS and negative scores are more risk for BEARS, you can trade 0DTE options successfully.&#x20;

Let's look at an example from 3/12/24 on SPY.

At the open price action moves down almost 3-strikes.&#x20;

The BEAR BOMB highlighted has PS -2.96, BL -1.56 and it returns $0.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F9P8gwyGO4IGvFL3WYYGD%2FCleanShot%202024-03-17%20at%2011.08.44%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=53c70538-089e-4c39-a8d7-f2789f5d2bfd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The BULL BOMB highlighted has PS 8.45, BL 2.96. These values tell you immediately that we have moved higher from the open and also higher from the low (PS).&#x20;

There's a TON of risk that move continues higher, so we would skip the trade.&#x20;

***

### Think about Risk First, Then Returns!

Look at these bear bombs on [SPY 3/14/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?\&day=2024-03-14).

They all fire near 3-strikes down from the blue line.&#x20;

These are high risk trades! We don't want to take them.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FUyG2uNBOHy3qeQI0cjNk%2FCleanShot%202024-03-17%20at%2011.30.22%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=c5309e8f-4b28-4a83-b856-f2a1976c05a1" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

It's the same thing on these [BULLS on 2/09/24](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?\&day=2024-02-09) that make $0.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FunyvKo6Ww0GK0lhwHi9I%2FCleanShot%202024-03-17%20at%2011.34.11%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=6eb20dbc-d4d5-493f-a2f4-9d7a0b3c7516" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

What do both of these have in common?

For the BEARS, BL and PS are very negative.

For the BULLS, BL and PS are very positive.&#x20;

They're high risk and are losing trades!

***

### SPY on 3/12/2024 is an excellent example of price action going both ways!&#x20;

We can't control the price action.

Markets are going to market.

However, what we can controls is knowing when we're at an advantage or disadvantage. &#x20;

<mark style="color:yellow;">**THIS IS HOW YOUR BRAIN NEEDS TO OPERATE.**</mark>

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FyE858fb0eQi0prpldSSL%2FCleanShot%202024-03-17%20at%2010.28.12%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=fcd48b0b-ccda-4326-a0a5-1335f67e53a9" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Looking at it step by step:**

Down 3-strikes = more risk the move continues lower so BEARS 🔴, BULLS 🟢.

Return to the blue is neutral, anything could happen but the setup includes a BULL BOMB + green florbs both bullish.

Up 3-strikes from the blue and 6 from the bottom = a massive move up. There's more risk we continue higher, BULLS 🔴, BEARS 🟢.

2 down from the high = more risk for bears (because we already moved down), but neutral for BULLS since we're still above the blue line. \
\
Approaching 4-strikes = BULLS 🔴 (because the average is 3-strikes) and ⚠️ for BEARS.

[See the date on our website.](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?\&day=2024-03-12)

***

### Summary:

Risk first and then returns: When RIGGED sends alerts we need to look at BL, PS as well as the strategy guide to see if we're at an advantage or disadvantage.

If it's high risk (bears below 2-strikes and bulls above 2-strikes), then we can skip the trade, look for a better entry or go very small (fun money).&#x20;

The only time high risk alerts work is when there's high volume (over 120%) and the price action trends in one direction. This is where we see 4+ strikes in either direction. These days are rare.


# Entering Trades

## Things to do with every alert:

There are additional things you can do when an alert comes in beyond the strategy guide.

### **Check the chart:**

*Where is the alert vs the blue line?*

You need to know what territory you're operating in.

Bulls above the blue = + territory and higher equals more risk

Bears below the blue = - territory and the lower equals more risk

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Ft7p0gdzIZRhTUHxz4g5k%2FCleanShot%202024-03-14%20at%2013.37.25%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f3bc5a0c-484a-43c6-8080-83b21ff303c0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="info" %}
Bulls (call options) are easier to trade than Bears (put options). New traders should stick with Bulls below or at the blue line.
{% endhint %}

***

### Check the position:

**What is PS (position score)?** \
\
**How does it compare to other alerts?**

PS tells us what has happened with the price action.

Positive PS = moved higher (more risk for BULLS)

Negative PS = moved lower (more risk for BEARS)

[SPY 3/8/24 example: ](https://app.rigged.ai/flows/SPY?\&day=2024-03-08)\
\
These BULL BOMBS are -10.56 and -11.01 (extremely negative) and they return 237.95% and 211.57% in one hour.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FkSfv8lSYSvsM6Y2DrN38%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=453c7724-c37f-4c9b-99cd-9a0af4b1f5e6" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Less than an hour later we see two more BULL BOMBS.

But PS is much higher (less negative).

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FzqbZfrxFunQBHQBmiH8z%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=041b1001-57b0-41af-a82a-58b07eed2419" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

They do not return as much!

That’s the power of position score.

When an alert comes in, check the score and look at the strategy guide.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you're late, go smaller size or look for a better entry.

If you're early, trade it but prepare to be wrong or add to the position if it’s a winner.
{% endhint %}

***

### Look at volume:

*What is volume?* \
\
*Do I think this alert can go 1, 2 or 3 strikes in my direction?*

You know your position, now use volume to determine how far price could go (on average).

Low volume = 2 strikes

Average volume = 3 strikes

High volume = 3+ strikes

Look at BL (blue line) and then volume to estimate how much further it can go.

Example alerts:\
\
**Alert A:** <mark style="color:yellow;">10:53 - SPY 621 BULL BOMB - Strike 512 - BL 1.2 - V 120%</mark>\
\
Because we are up 1.2 from the blue line and volume is high, it’s possible we go to three strikes.&#x20;

Take the trade!

**Alert B:** <mark style="color:yellow;">10:05 - SPY 398 BEAR BOMB - Strike 514 - BL -2.59 - V 98.51%</mark>

Because we are down -2.59 from the blue and volume is low. Do not take the trade.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FrXpIYpYKBeDlM7VwuqRR%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=9939a4ac-0fe1-4321-ab27-e945a4200a40" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The strategy guide told you as much but it's always good to understand the concept!

## Entering the trade!

You've checked the strategy guide and everything matches.&#x20;

You're ready to take the trade... but first there's one more thing!

### Define your risk

Before you buy any calls or puts, <mark style="color:yellow;">you need to know how much you are willing to lose if you are wrong.</mark>

Pick a percentage 10 - 20% and stick to it.&#x20;

<mark style="color:yellow;">Do not add to a losing trade.</mark>&#x20;

Repeat... do not add to a losing trade.

Have your risk level set before you start.&#x20;

### Look for an entry

Generally we want to buy slightly out or slightly in the money.

BULLS (call options) below the strike price ex: 449.80 and buying the 450 call option

BEARS (put options) above the strike price ex: 451.20 and buying the 451 put option

<mark style="color:yellow;">Remember patience is next to godliness.</mark>&#x20;

You can typically find a better entry if you wait.

However sometimes the price action is just insane and you just can't resist. It's okay... you can enter the trade with smaller size but be prepared to exit if wrong!

{% hint style="info" %}
Always know how much you're willing to lose.

Never add to a losing trade, cut it and move on.

Be patient and look for a better entry!
{% endhint %}


# In The Trade

Trading options successfully is all about winning big and losing small.

Winning big means taking winners to 100%+

Losing small means cutting your losses at 10 - 20%.

Every trader has a different style and profit they are searching for and this takes time to develop.

In this module we’ll cover winning and losing.

### Getting max gains with free contracts (the best way to learn).

Runners are “free” contracts meaning your profit. If they go to zero, you lose zero.

Example:

Let's say you buy 2 SPY 510c and you are up 50% on them.

You can take a 50% profit on both or you can sell 1 contract at 50% and let the other contract run for free.

<mark style="color:yellow;">This is the best way to learn how to trade options.</mark>

Reason being:

*You won't know what you'll do with a 100% trade until you get there.*

*You won't know what you'll do with a 200% trade until you get there.*

**The best way to get there is with free runner contracts.**

### Prepare to exit at the strike price

Strike prices (dollar levels for SPY and QQQ) are incredibly important!

When price reaches a strike one of three things will typically happen;

1.) it rips through going much higher or much lower

2.) rejects and reverses (if up it goes down, if down it goes up)

3.) chop at the strike (price moves slightly above and slightly below)\
\
You can see all of this happen within a span of 45 minutes on SPY 3/14/24.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FEKrUielu1YtocduFfxVi%2FCleanShot%202024-03-14%20at%2013.56.43%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=9761f802-848c-4c31-babd-d16845096671" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Price rejects and reverses at 513, rips right through at 514 and then chops before reversing at 515.\
\
**General tips:**

If you're in calls and it doesn't hulk past the strike, take profit and go to runners.

If you're in puts and it doesn't nuke lower through the strike, take profit and go to runners.

<mark style="color:yellow;">Always FEAR that price will move against you at the strike</mark>

If it’s not going your way, you will get killed

**When to hold at strike prices:**

Getting 2+ strikes is how you get 100%+ returns (or 1-strike later in the session)

The best time to hold is when:

1.) Volume is over 110%

2.) You are at the blue line or 1-strike beyond

3.) Price is just ripping and it looks like a trend day

{% hint style="info" %}
**It sounds more difficult than it is.** In a few weeks, you'll be a pro at knowing hey we are up 2-strikes, I'm in calls I should take profit. Or we're down 1-strike and it's not going any lower I should exit these puts.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

***

## Losing trades strategy:

Trading is hard because not only do you have to beat the market but you also have to beat your own human psychology.

Our monkey brains force us to do two things:

**1.) Add to losing trades to get back to even**

**2.) Take profits early when you start winning**

Of course this is the opposite of what we should do and doing them will absolutely destroy your account.

YOU MUST DEFEAT THE MONKEY BRAIN.

If you can break these TWO HABITS… you can do this successfully.

This sounds simple, but it’s not.

<mark style="color:yellow;">The right way to lose is cutting losers quickly.</mark>&#x20;

If your option is down -20%, don’t wait a little longer for it to go into profit.

Your ego and bias will always get in the way and try to stop you from just taking the loss and moving on. Don’t listen. Lose small.

How do you know if you’re in a losing trade?

If you are “hoping” that price will move in your direction, you are going to get killed.

There is no hope.

If you are in a winning trade, it will go quickly. You will know almost instantly.

{% hint style="info" %}
Learning to lose is probably more important than winning. Be terrified of losing and mindful of protecting your account. Do that and you'll be here for a trend day where the biggest mistake you can make is selling 100% trades that go 500%.
{% endhint %}


# Exit Strategy

This is one of the best option trading strategies to lock in profits and prevent small losses from turning into big ones.

A Trailing stop loss is an advanced order type that can completely transform your options trading.

In this explainer we'll cover the basics of the trailing stop and the best strategies to use the order type to secure profits and prevent losses.

**Key points:**

The trailing stop sets your exit at a fixed amount that "trails" the bid price. If the price of the option falls the fixed amount, your broker will automatically market sell the position.&#x20;

The benefit is that you can secure profits and limit your downside risk if the price action moves against you.

Trailing stops will hurt your profit if there's a "kill candle" (aka massive move in 1m bar) that is designed to hunt stops (aka liquidate traders) before continuing the move

{% hint style="warning" %}
Trailing stop orders are our favorite method to exit option trades!
{% endhint %}

***

## Brokers that offer trailing stop orders for option trades

You would think every broker would offer their users this functionality, but some are more interested in robbing their customers than seeing their customers succeed *"cough, cough Robinhood".*

Most of the free options trading platforms like Robinood and WeBull do not offer trailing stop loss orders. In fact, Robinhood doesn't even allow you to do market sells because they profit off selling your order flow to Citadel. \
\
Here is a list of brokers that are confirmed to have trailing stop order types for options.

1.) E\*Trade - probably the easiest ([info here](https://us.etrade.com/knowledge/library/options/automating-exit-strategies-for-options-trades))

2.) Interactive Brokers - very hard to use for beginners

3.) TD Ameritrade

4.) Charles Schwab

5.) TradeStation

6.) Think or Swim

***

## Trailing Stop Loss Orders for Options Pros and Cons

Generally trailing stops are used to lock in profit and limit your downside if the price action moves against you.

You can start learning how to use them in your trading by setting them whenever you are at your profit target.

**Example:**

Let's say we are trading a SPY 510 call option that we purchased for 1.00.&#x20;

The price of SPY is moving up and the option is now 1.20 so we are up 20% on the position.&#x20;

If we set a trailing stop loss to 0.03, then the least amount of money we will return is 1.17 (17%).

#### Advantages:

1. **Risk Management:** A trailing stop loss smartly climbs with the bid price of your option. It leaves room for gains and limits losses.
2. **Downside protection:** In volatile price action, it can stop a small loss from turning into a big one by market selling after the trailing stop is hit.&#x20;
3. **Less stressful:** You can set a trailing stop and walk away knowing you've locked in gains and will catch any upside move that's left.

#### Disadvantages:

1. **Kill candle risk:** Often when price reaches a strike level (dollars for SPY/QQQ and various for stock options), there's a kill candle designed to hunt stop losses. Your trailing stop will hit and you'll exit the position missing the move.&#x20;
2. **Lose potential profits:** If your stop loss order is triggered on a kill candle, then you will miss out on potential profits gained.
3. **What's the optimal trail?**: We get asked this question a lot. Maybe one of you intelligent individuals can figure it out. What is the optimal trail 0.05, 0.10 or higher? Optimal meaning it prevents you from getting stomped out when price continues in your direction.

**Overall:**

Securing profits is THE MOST IMPORTANT PART of options trading.

There will always be trades you cut too early that go much higher, securing your profits means protecting your trading account so you will be there the next time!

***

## When to set a trailing stop loss

We like to secure profits when the "easy part" of the move has completed aka when the price action stalls.

Securing profits can mean selling the full position or setting the trailing stop for a certain number of contracts so that you can have "free runners".

Price action will typically stop in one of three places:

<mark style="color:yellow;">**At the strike**</mark> (even dollars for 0DTE and various for stock flow)

<mark style="color:yellow;">**At the blue line**</mark> (the open price is a perfect place for a reversal)

<mark style="color:yellow;">**At 3-strikes**</mark> above or below the blue line (3-strikes is the average move intraday)

You should start by taking profits at each of these levels.

The only time we expect / anticipate price action to go beyond 3-strikes is when volume is over 120%.

**Here's an example from SPY on 3/12/24.**

We trade the BULL BOMB for the 511 call because it's 3-strikes down (advantage for bulls).

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fac5E0s1aDhvaPmCNxQLq%2FCleanShot%202024-03-17%20at%2010.07.06%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=0477fe71-c83a-4137-bb3f-b63d010a80ac" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Price hulks through 512, so we hold.

Price hulks through 513 and there's a BULL bomb, so we hold.

Price hits the blue line and starts to come down, time to protect the gains with a trailing stop loss 0.05 and go to runners.&#x20;

**Result:**

The max gain for this option contract is over 200% if held until the end of the session. Obviously we had no idea this would happen at 9:46am but we were able to secure out profit and take runner contracts (free) to over 100% returns.&#x20;

# High Risk Trades


# The Pattern-Day Trader (PDT) Rule

The lizards don't want you to win.

The year is 2023. You can smoke crack on the streets of San Francisco, you can take a magic weight loss shot that *definitely* has no side effects, but you as an adult human are not allowed to daytrade a **margin account** without a minimum balance of $25,000.&#x20;

### Pattern Day Trader (PDT) Rule Explained:

If you execute four or more “day trades” within a rolling five trading day period, you will be flagged as a pattern day trader.

Once you’re flagged as a pattern day trader, the required minimum balance in your margin account is $25,000 (includes stock and options, not internet coins).

**How serious is the rule?**

Four day trades in a five day period and you're permanently locked in PDT purgatory.

**What counts as a day trade?**

Robinhood example:

10:30 AM - Buy 1 $SPY 455c\
10:40 AM - Sell 1 $SPY 455c\
\
That’s a day trade and will use one of your three.

You can always size up by purchasing multiple contracts at the same strike before selling.

Multiple buy example:

10:30 AM - Buy 1 $SPY 455c\
10:40 AM - Buy 3 $SPY 455c\
11:20 AM - Sell 4 $SPY 455c

Since you are buying multiple contracts at the same strike (though at different times and prices) and then closing them all at once, it counts as 1 day trade.

## Why PDT Purgatory Absolutely Sucks!

It's pathetic that you can go into a casino and spend every dollar the child support and all without any kind of verification or check.&#x20;

But you cannot daytrade a margin account with less than $25,000.&#x20;

What's more dangerous!?!?

Surely trading 0DTE options has better outcomes than playing 000 roulette.&#x20;

The real problem is this:

If you are limited to three trades per week, it will always be in your mind. You'll think about it when you enter, you'll think about it when you're holding the trade and you'll think about it before you exit.&#x20;

Trading is hard enough!&#x20;

You do not want to be thinking "oh should I use one... I don't want to miss the next one... mmm I'm not sure if I want to waste one of my lives".

RIGD is for the people, so we've come up with a few ways to circument (but not avoid the rules).&#x20;

***

### Option 1 - Use Multiple Brokerages&#x20;

Your brokerage is not your wife.

You can have multiple brokerage accounts and just rotate them when you hit the three trade limit per week.&#x20;

[Robinhood (aff link) ](https://join.robinhood.com/benjamh279)- easy to use, plus they make money off of order flow (selling your order to Citadel) which makes it fast to get in and out of trades. Why is it fast? Because they're executing at a low price.&#x20;

[WeBull](https://webull.com/) - another furu favorite, we haven't used the platform very much but the minimum balance required for a margin account is $2,500.&#x20;

[E\*trade](https://etrade.com) - this is the easiest somewhat more advanced platform. The minimum balance for margin accounts may have changed since writing this.&#x20;

### Option 2 - Switch to a Cash Account

Cash accounts are slightly less fun.&#x20;

They're pretty self-explanatory but we like hearing ourselves talk so we'll do it anyway.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
Cash accounts are basically like using a debit card without overdraft protection.
{% endhint %}

They aren’t subject to the PDT regulations, so you can daytrade as long as you have dollars in the account.

The problem is... you cannot use unsettled funds. Option trades take one day to settle.&#x20;

You open and close a trade on Monday, the money will be available to trade again on Wednesday.

# How to Not Blowup Trading 0DTE

Blowing up is bad. Do not blow up.

The authors of this post are not registered with the SEC or any government agency or authority that permits us to give financial advice of any kind. That said we are regrettably all too experienced with blowing up accounts trading options and may have some tips that prevent the same from happening to you. Some say it's a necessary and painful lesson. It was for us. The market will humble the shit out of you. It's okay to get humbled. Don't blow up.&#x20;

**Introduction:**

A lot of this stuff is theoretical psychological poetical whatever type of speak.&#x20;

We repeat ourselves 10x over and over again.&#x20;

To be honest, it feels great writing this because we are always trying to improve on execution.&#x20;

It is our biased low-iq not to be trust opinion that anyone can be successful with the RIGD system if they can master the mental side of 0DTE.

The mental side of 0DTE is really only two things:

<mark style="color:yellow;">**1.) be patient**</mark>\
\ <mark style="color:yellow;">**2.) don't be stupid**</mark>&#x20;

If this sounds easy to you, then you have never traded 0DTE or are complete idiot.&#x20;

There is nothing harder than being patient and not being stupid when you are trading a volatile financial derivate that can make hundreds or thousands of dollars in a few minutes and lose all of them the next.&#x20;

**The mental side of 0DTE is everything.**&#x20;

*You miss an alert and it was the one.*

*It was the trade you were looking for.*

*You're on tilt before you even make or lose anything.*&#x20;

*You take a trade and your stop loss hit but you didn't sell...*

What happens next determine's whether you'll be successful in this or not.

How do you manage the primal instinct to trade anything and everything to get back what you lost or what should have been yours?

If you make a bad stock trade you have time.&#x20;

If you marry the wrong person you can get a goomar.

If you take a bad 0DTE trade and are not prepared mentally, you will be turbo fk'd spiral out and blow up.&#x20;

The following is our attempt to convey the lessons of thousands of trades and tens of thousands of dollars made and dollars lost.&#x20;

It is by no means complete but should serve as a solid mental baseline to get you going.&#x20;

We're on your side every step of the way comrade. &#x20;

### EVERY SINGLE TRADE: FEAR DOWN 🔻 HOPE UP ⬆ &#x20;

This was a small passage in [Remininsces of a Stock Operator](https://www.amazon.com/Reminiscences-Stock-Operator-Edwin-Lef%C3%A8vre/dp/0471770884) which is actually one of the trading books that's actually worth a damn.&#x20;

Every time you trade an alert no matter how good the PS, score, whatever - <mark style="color:yellow;">**your mental framework should be how much money am I going to lose.**</mark>&#x20;

This of course is the opposite of human psychology.&#x20;

You get the alert and that pea brain of y(ours) is thinking...&#x20;

*This is the perfect alert!*&#x20;

*This is the perfect setup!*

*I am going to make so much money!*

Once you get locked into the frame of how much money you are going to make, you forget about how much money you stand to lose if it does not go your way.&#x20;

Once you are locked into that frame it becomes terribly difficult to get out of it.&#x20;

Locking into the "profit" idea before the trade even gets going is how you hold on for too long, double down and get destroyed.

**Every single trade:**

<mark style="color:yellow;">**FEAR IT GOES DOWN**</mark>

<mark style="color:yellow;">**HOPE IT GOES UP**</mark>

We want to enter every single trade with a defensive frame to start.

What is the maximum I am willing to risk on this?&#x20;

You can use a percentage or dollar value.&#x20;

Whatever it is, stick to it.&#x20;

There will be kill candles and your stop loss will be hit. This happens. It sucks.&#x20;

Do you chase or wait for a better entry?

Both can work.&#x20;

Remember patience and don't be stupid.&#x20;

Market buying 100 contracts after your stop loss is hit is **very stupid** (very guilty here).

**Patiently** waiting for a kill candle to catch the move is not. &#x20;

Once the trade starts moving in our direction, do we flip from our fearful defensive posture to let's fk-ing gooooooo yolo max gains let's hit 100% on this mf-er.&#x20;

**How we fear and hope:**

As extreme degenerates the following will likely not apply to you. Risk and reward is between the 0DTE trader and her god. Ours says the big wins make up for the losses.&#x20;

<mark style="color:red;">**Fear**</mark> is a 20% loss at full size (100+ contracts).&#x20;

That is the maximum we are prepared to lose on every single intelligent trade we enter. They are not always intelligent.&#x20;

<mark style="color:yellow;">**Hope**</mark> is when our profit is at 20%. \
\
When we reach this level we will move our stop loss from -20% to +10%. The +10% protects us if the position nukes while providing enough cushion (sometimes) to stop a kill candle from liquidating the position.&#x20;

We <mark style="color:yellow;">**HOPE**</mark> we will hit 60%+ and offload the majority of the position there.&#x20;

Risking 2 for 6 requires a 25% win-rate to breakeven.&#x20;

25% is the only breakeven number that works with our brain.&#x20;

This is a very easy website to do the [breakeven math](https://smarttradingsoftware.com/en/calculators/risk-reward-ratio-calculator/) if you are unable to.&#x20;

***

### NO ALERT, NO TRUST, NO TRADE

Successful 0DTE trading has very simple rules that are extremely difficult to follow.&#x20;

This part should be the easiest.

❌ No alert

❌ No trust

❌ No trade

But if you're reading this now you know it's probably the hardest part.

Remember... **patience and don't be stupid.**&#x20;

Patience is waiting for an alert.

Stupid is trading without one.&#x20;

Here's what that looks like for a regular 0DTE degen

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F8ANBKtAAZej1RBWSHQxO%2FCleanShot%202023-11-16%20at%2018.52.38%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=bde9dab3-51c7-40cd-9a17-4cd1c1975473" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>feel familiar?</p></figcaption></figure>

We all know and we've all been there.

Sometimes we feel very special and important. To the market we are nothing barely a byte.\
\
Whatever you are seeing, everyone is seeing.&#x20;

Whatever you are feeling, everyone is feeling.&#x20;

Whatever you are thinking, everyone is thinking.&#x20;

In 0DTE there is no gain without pain. It can be your pain and someone else's gain. Or your gain and their pain.&#x20;

Don't be stupid.&#x20;

Do be patient.&#x20;

Moves can and will continue to happen without option flow or a RIGD alert.&#x20;

Do you need to catch every single one?

It sucks knowing you could have had 100%.

But can you... get over it?

Can you catch the next one?&#x20;

More often than not the move up or move down without a RIGD alert is a fakeout. It is pain. Buy their pain and take their gain.&#x20;

Nothing personal homie it's only business.

Patience and non-stupidity.&#x20;

### Always Lose Small, Sometimes Win Big

The obsession with fear should be matched with the obsession with against losing. Not losing is better than winning. Losing leads to tilt. Tilt means no patience. Tilt means stupid. Stupid equals blowup.&#x20;

A big win early and you will become confident which will lead to a bad decision. The bad decision will lead to tilt, tilt leads to stupid and stupid equals blowup.&#x20;

In time a 0DTE trader can begin to find the profit targets she likes to hit. When the leave it on to run and when they hit it and quit it to take the money and run.&#x20;

How much time depends on the person.&#x20;

There is nothing more mentally challenging and financially rewarding than trading 0DTE.&#x20;

Mind body and soul are put to the test every single day.&#x20;

Can you be patient?&#x20;

Can you not be stupid?&#x20;

Most people decide this is not for them and give up. That's okay. This is not meant for everyone.&#x20;

We want to lose small (or make a little) on the alerts that go 30-40%.

We want to win BIG on the straight up perfect trades.&#x20;

Successful 0DTE traders know that win rate is not as important as win size. The big wins should be big. The losses should always be small.&#x20;

Here we look at the flow from 11/16/23.&#x20;

We lose small on the first SPY BOMB and win big on the QQQ BOMB.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FBjzgSw6QgBSc6s7hw80h%2FCleanShot%202023-11-16%20at%2019.16.53%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=ea95ba96-1d8e-4a2d-a6db-fdb4433654f3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Fear the loss and hope for the win.&#x20;

Patience.

Don't be stupid.&#x20;

***

Blowup is when your trading account balance reaches zero.&#x20;

Your trading account for 0DTE should probably be a fraction of your total assets.&#x20;

0DTE is extremely high risk, you can feel invincible on top of the world one second and then a kill candle comes out from nowhere and boom you're destroyed.&#x20;

If you are new to options trading and / or 0DTE, then it's probably best you avoid using this website or if you really desire to learn (it's a free country and your money do whatever you want) start with a papertrading account.

Tradestation, Webull and others all offer papertrading (simulated).

### Learning the RIGD 0DTE system will take time!

From what we've seen from users, it takes about 3 months for new traders to understand the RIGD system and begin to learn to manage their risk. RIGD is designed to be easy and put traders into situations where they're trading with, not against Wall Street.&#x20;

Do not expect to come in and be consistent right away. Confidence leads to cockiness leads to blowup. Trust us we know.&#x20;

### Start with a cash account&#x20;

With a cash account you can only trade the amount of money settled from the previous day. Not having access to your full balance and being able to "send it" is one way to stop blowing up.&#x20;


# Trading Rules


# SPY & QQQ - Friday - 9-Strike Move - 644.49% Max Gain

Case Study: On Friday every option is 0DTE making flow very unpredictable and often difficult to trade. This time all you had to do was buy calls.

**Summary:**

On October 6, 2023  we opened lower on NFP (non-farm payrolls) coming in super hot at 336k versus forecasts of 170k. It was a back and fourth week on jobs data and it looked like the lizards were going to send us straight to hell. However the market did the thing the market normally does which is fuck the max amount of participants possible bottoming in the open period and hitting a 9-strike move. It's one of the biggest we've seen in the history of RIGD and totally broke our charts. We left a TON of money on the table by selling too early.&#x20;

**Fridays:**

On Friday almost every option in the stock market is 0DTE, which makes trading options extremely difficult. We normally avoid Fridays.&#x20;

However on the list of RIGD Rules... avoiding Friday is way lower than the number one rule which is "Never fade a hulk rally".&#x20;

That's what we got.&#x20;

Bad data -> Market nukes -> Everyone goes short -> Market rips -> Lizards win.

### **Open Period:**

RIGD works by scoring the Open Period (first hour) and determining a trend for the rest of the session (full day).

<mark style="color:yellow;">ON FRIDAYS THIS STRATEGY DOES NOT WORK</mark>

In fact, on Friday the probability is actually slightly higher that if you fade the open trend you will make money.

Really it's a coinflip either way... so we do not advise using the OPEN TREND as a guide for Friday trading.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FHRehgysWyECGiBmbg7l1%2FCleanShot%202023-10-08%20at%2010.09.26%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=306d86e4-1206-4999-89a9-af9d5a39cdb9" alt=""><figcaption><p>a ton of bearish flow!</p></figcaption></figure>

We get 6 BEARS to 2 BULLS which is an extremely bearish open.&#x20;

If it were any other day of the week, we would be looking at any and every chance to get into puts.&#x20;

But again it's Friday.&#x20;

***

### EASY MONEY MIDDLE PERIOD

You trade small on the difficult days, so you can learn when it's an easy day and it's time to size up.

This was Friday.

**Trading days do not get easier than this.**&#x20;

This is what we wake up for every day and pray for.

When we get parabolic hulk moves up there are normally a few factors involved:

* market has looked like crap (we've been selling off)
* data is absolute crap (hot jobs means higher for longer)
* furus on twitter are extremely bearish
* everything is going straight up

This is what everything is going straight up looks like:

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FfUNKoDE7dxyroWU8Mxsc%2FCleanShot%202023-10-08%20at%2010.22.57%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=04887d23-1314-4b12-a674-ea4b04cfd888" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Yes, there are more stocks in the market but these are the only ones that matter.&#x20;

Yes, there are other opinions on the market and they are extremely wrong.

If each one of these stocks in the magnificent seven is moving, then we are going straight up buy calls on anything and you will make money.

The discord was electric crushing NVDA 450, TSLA 255, META 310, and AAPL 177.50 and then crying because our 100%+ returns could have been 4-5x.&#x20;

Unfortunately we faded the rule of never fade parabolic hulk moves.&#x20;

Individual names going insane = indices (SPY & QQQ) going insane and it showed up in the option flow.&#x20;

Here's what the 0DTE flow looked like and how to trade it.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FIysMw0WJOh70N2prGRAb%2FCleanShot%202023-10-08%20at%2010.14.40%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=ac586113-0d2a-462a-b7a7-0290aab4bea3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<mark style="color:yellow;">10:44 AM - 1740 BULL BOMB</mark> this roughly translates to 1.5 - 1.9 MILLION in bullish option flow

If it were not Friday, we would have went full position size but we were still a little scared and only took it with a medium position.&#x20;

We sold a few times, eventually exiting even the runners at a 4-strike move at 250%+ gains. This was actually a mistake as they went to 400-500%.

<mark style="color:blue;">12:29 - 521 BULL BOMB</mark> the market gods gave us a perfect opportunity to re-enter the trade if we missed the first move up.&#x20;

All of the bullish flow here is an indicator (but not a guarantee) that the price action will continue in that direction.

Let's compare the final end of session returns for the 1740 BULL and 521 BULL.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FcX2rqWFnRNkAC6CQlqls%2FCleanShot%202023-10-08%20at%2010.39.47%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=16a40dfa-1a2b-4f56-a61c-6bdc48e0999d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

### **QQQ MIDDLE PERIOD**

The QQQ was easy to trade with a 764 BULL CLUSTER BOMB firing off at 10:48.

Cluster bombs represent 3 of the same side alerts within a 1 hour period with no opposite flow. We're constantly monitoring and tweaking these parameters over time.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FENYWYTCzQhDsgXR2NW2N%2FCleanShot%202023-10-08%20at%2010.56.00%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=42d361fb-5ccc-4299-8cd8-0876deff9c7e" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This was an easy trade and if you were watching the magnificent 7 stocks or chatting in the discord, it was a party over how rich everyone was becoming.&#x20;

The middle period did not see a ton of additional bullish flow, which we likely attribute to calls being bought on the other popular stocks like NVDA and TSLA.&#x20;

Perhaps the BEAR flow was hedging or possibly small lizard rage trading because they got caught offsides by the price action.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FvvmEXTupXMueVji94WGY%2FCleanShot%202023-10-08%20at%2011.05.50%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=238e3d88-7023-4eee-8353-e425522c3d04" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There was a drawdown of 38.66% on this BULL CLUSTER but you ultimately returned 272.62% if held until the end of the session.&#x20;

***

### **IMPORTANT LESSONS:**&#x20;

Trading 0DTE options profitably is all about catching THE MOVE in your direction.&#x20;

On average, THE MOVE is 2-3 strikes from your entry price.&#x20;

Friday was a very rare day where we had a 9-STRIKE move from the bottom (10:08 - 12:01) and then a second MOVE 4-STRIKES higher from 12:35 to 14:48.

Trading the second MOVE is significantly more difficult because the market has had an opportunity to react to the first. If we take the 521 BULL BOMB, we are looking to exit the trade as quickly as possible and are less inclined to hold runners until the end of the session.

**Other:**

Fridays are weird outlier days where the open trend is unreliable.&#x20;

There was significant high score BEAR flow during the open and start of the middle periods. It's important to look at what else is happening in the market before making any other trading decision.&#x20;

Market news (NFP, CPI, whatever) can lead to bias which is unreliable. Trade what's happening, not what you think will happen or what should happen. You and us are not so smart.&#x20;

Also follow RIGD RULE #1 - <mark style="color:yellow;">**never fade a hulk.**</mark>&#x20;


# 0️ SPY - Zero Trend - High Volume - 9/27/2023

Case Study: No clear open session trend, but high option volume brought extreme volatility with 0DTE max gains of 549.79% BULL and BEAR 341.20%  on 9/27/2023.

**Summary:**

On September 27, 2023 we opened higher versus the previous day and it appeared we would see a bounce in SPY. The open session had mixed flow (3x BULL BOMB + 1x BULL LOTTO to 2x BEAR BOMB) but observed volume was higher than the 7-day average.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
**ZERO TREND HIGH VOLUME =** look for swings + cluster bombs but do not have a bias towards the bull or bear side.
{% endhint %}

The price action was incredibly volatile with 100%+ returns to be found on both the bull and bear side.

**OPEN** - ZERO TREND + HIGH VOLUME

**MIDDLE** - DOWN with perfect tags

**FINAL** - Volatile move up


# SPY - Bull Swing - 187.76% Gain - 9/14/2023

Profitable all the way, we breakdown a perfect SWING alert on 9/14/2023

When a swing alert fires, you pay attention and / or send the trade immediately!

This was a perfect trade.

From the moment you entered, you were in the money. At no point after did you experience a drawdown.

It does not get better than this!

### Trade Walkthrough:

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FMiVTokb50NTJcBOxjTxk%2FCleanShot%202023-09-15%20at%2009.15.27%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=65a695b1-8bc5-46ef-a7e6-b54326fcb0fa" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**11:43 - 323 BULL SWING - for the $449 call option**

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FUjPDwwKYfQwKxtjVRJt7%2FCleanShot%202023-09-15%20at%2009.12.14%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=5f33a610-11af-493d-8dd2-532af0430f81" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

SWING alerts are a type of mean reversion trade. They are designed to tag bullish trades after price has moved down or bearish trades after price has moved up.

At 11:43 you can see the price of SPY has moved down before this alert is triggered.

If the move lower were to continue, we would expect to see Bear (florbs and bombs). This does not happen.

We enter the trade.

***

### **Evaluating Market Status:**

Market status refers to all of the options bought that day for the underlying stock in this case SPY.

The setup is bullish with FR (florb ratio) at 0.7 and FS (florb score) at 4424.89. These colors will change from green to neutral to red.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FiOcnkvxKCc4hOaeBhkjA%2FCleanShot%202023-09-15%20at%2009.33.05%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=d37997b7-0fcf-458b-91a6-b67f2084a37b" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

FR and FS are both green.

This tells you that even as price has moved down, market participants are still buying call options.

Market status matching the alert; green + bull or red + bear is a strong indicator the trade will move in the same direction.

However on SWING trades, this may not always be the case.&#x20;

There have been crazy reversals where market status is solidly bullish or bearish and then the market moves in the complete opposite direction.

***

### **Checking the chart**

Leading up to the 323 BULL SWING, you can see there's significantly more bullish activity (green florbs) than bearish.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FHQNBRyyI85i1L8QqBgpa%2FCleanShot%202023-09-15%20at%2009.39.18%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=811cf5d0-9c7a-4b6f-a8f0-f295076f721d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Signals to take the trade:

* lots of green florbs as price is moving down&#x20;
* no red florbs as we get to the time when the SWING alert fires

If SPY were going lower, the signals would be mixed (lots of red and green) or there would be consecutive BEAR bombs.

***

### Looking at the alert feed

We can also refer to the alert feed to see previous alerts.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Ffbgs47MO5o7Ly5enjpMC%2FCleanShot%202023-09-15%20at%2009.56.58%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=982a1b14-3c33-44d8-bc3d-75dcce116141" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Starting at 9:51 we see three bull bombs, one 835 bear and then a 2147 bull.

Scores over 500 are considered significant.&#x20;

Since the BULL SWING fires at 11:43, the last bomb was the 2147 bull at 10:32. It's a good signal because 2147 is massive, but it would be better to see more BULL bombs grouped closer together.&#x20;

What would make us hesitate on this trade is if the last three bombs were bearish.&#x20;

***

### End Result and Summary

The 323 BULL SWING on SPY was a flawless trade, profitable with no drawdown.

The max gain was 187.76% and end of day returned 98.82%.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fy50VEV2xtoGZBlyPBeHb%2FCleanShot%202023-09-15%20at%2009.17.50%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=14b9f480-26fc-4114-a5c1-53ab699d1ead" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

# QQQ - Zero Trend - High Volume - Komodo Flow

100% gains found going short and going long in a session where nothing really happened but money was to be made if you followed Komodo Flow.

**Summary:**

On [October 11, 2023 the QQQ ](https://beta.rigd.ai/flows/qqq?day=2023-10-11\&page=1)opens slightly higher with 12 alerts firing off during the open period 7 BULL to 5 BEAR. Since the flow is mixed, RIGD considers the open period to be ZERO TREND meaning a trader should not have a bias on direction however given the HIGH VOLUME, it's a very tradeable day and following KOMODO FLOW was extremely profitable.&#x20;

A future update to RIGD will only show KOMODO alerts on days like this, however users will always be able to toggle this feature off and show everything.&#x20;

**Trade strategy:**

Strictly follow KOMODO FLOW alerts

Take profit and cut losses fast, we do not expect THE MOVE (2-3 strikes) and will settle for 1-strike or less.&#x20;

No directional bias, on zero trend high volume days it will often look one way or another before a massive reversal.&#x20;

***

### OPEN PERIOD

SPY volume is abysmally low, so we aren't even looking at alerts for that side. We want high volume and a high number of alerts.

We got that on the QQQ open (please refer to [OPEN strategy here](https://docs.rigd.ai/system/open-trade-strategy)).&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FmdlAojh1TT8un9FBII9l%2FCleanShot%202023-10-16%20at%2016.17.04%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=1b7164d3-c4ba-4ef8-b736-5b0a22aa45b7" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The back to back BEARS that fire off around 9:40 are worth taking given that price has moved up and we're right at the 371 strike.&#x20;

We get an immediate move down and at 2-strikes we are exiting some of the position, while thinking (mostly hoping) we get a BEAR trend and the price action will go that way all day.

You'll notice at 10:05 on that more bear flow comes in, but the price action isn't going down. This is a sign to exit the majority of the position only leaving on waht you're comfortable with holding down to $0.

***

### MIDDLE PERIOD&#x20;

At 10:31 RIGD calculates the open period for SPY and QQQ runs an algo which attempts to determine whether or not a trend exists.&#x20;

ZERO TREND is detected on SPY or QQQ, but QQQ is high volume.

Generally when high volume is detected alerts have a higher success rate.&#x20;

Enter KOMODO FLOW\...

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FWGNhNHZ55tEkJcdUEuub%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=ea97ae6f-dbc9-4487-8573-2e9549fce55d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Okay KOMODO FLOW is just a fancy name for an action tree we prefer to follow depending on the OPEN TREND.

Komodo flow for zero trend high volume is:

* CLUSTER BOMBS&#x20;
* SWING ALERTS
* 500+ BOMBS

We are only looking for these alerts and are not concerned on direction as we have no bias.&#x20;

If we enter trades based on these alerts, we are looking to exit quickly and make take profit earlier than usual compared to trend days.&#x20;

Each of these were detected on 10/11/2023 on the QQQ and each one was profitable.&#x20;

***

### KOMODO FLOW

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FCUr2B6VRMZKrYkvL3zxR%2FCleanShot%202023-10-16%20at%2016.43.56%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=312d96e9-4600-42d4-898a-b0cfcf6f97be" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**11:26 - 902 BEAR CLUSTER -** this is an epic trade. QQQ nukes a full strike and when it looks like it's going back up, the lizards hit it with BEAR flow. These never drawdown (aka always profitable) on the way to 120.09% max gain.

**11:42 - 253 BULL SWING -** remember on a zero trend day we are not expecting THE MOVE (2-3 strikes) in any direction. We have the finger on the trigger ready to market smell when it even begins to sniff profitability. That means exit this as soon as it taps the 370 strike likely for 20-30%.

Finally we get a giant bull bomb at the start of the FINAL SESSION.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F058M3ZkeYxMLXmYMdW8b%2FCleanShot%202023-10-16%20at%2016.51.33%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=712b093f-985a-4155-a56f-6d21b78fea54" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**13:35 - 630 BULL BOMB -** it fires off near the absolute low of the day and the rest of the session was a classic MEAN REVERSION (aka return to the open price). These experienced a small drawdown of 21.35% before returning 185.24%.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FleqGEHwbb1m4nFmawdmE%2FCleanShot%202023-10-16%20at%2017.03.05%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=30e4ca2f-467b-458b-ae52-4231a6cdd26b" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>bang bang bang (assuming you are not an algorithm, your return was higher and drawdown was lower than at the time of the alert)</p></figcaption></figure>

***

**Summary:**

Zero Trend - High Volume typically results in a very tradeable session with a higher success rate for KOMODO flow alerts.&#x20;

We saw price action move down, before returning to the open price aka "mean reversion".

Every single KOMODO flow alert was profitable with the BULL SWING and BULL BOMB closing at +77.63% and +185.24% at the end of the session.

We will have KOMODO flow shipped in the UI next week.

**Stay frosty!**


# SPY - J Pow - Insane Volatility - 10/19/23

Case Study: The BEAR TREND wins but with insane volatility we saw multiple chances to catch the MOVE.

**Summary:**

On October 19, 2023 we opened with a strong BEAR TREND and a Jerome Powell speech scheduled at 12:00. It was delayed due to some climate protestors. J Pow is the most powerful man in the world and outside events like this typically bring volatility. This was an INSANE session but keeping the BEAR TREND BIAS and expecting THE MOVE to the downside paid handsomely.  &#x20;

**OPEN** - BEAR TREND&#x20;

**MIDDLE** - 2-STRIKE MOVE down and violent move up

**FINAL** - BEAR TREND wins with SPY closing 4-STRIKES lower.

***

### **Open Session:**

The RIGD system works by scoring every option trade in the first hour (930 - 1030).

It detected 5 BEAR BOMBs to 1 BULL BOMB.

This triggers the algo to alert users to a BEAR TREND with strong signal.

**What does the BEAR TREND tell us?**&#x20;

BEAR TREND gives us a framework to use for the rest of the session.

When a BEAR TREND is identified we expect THE MOVE (2-3 strikes) to occur in that direction at some point during the session. \
\
Sometimes a TREND can move that way the entire day where the hold period for maximum gain is extended (4-6 hours).&#x20;

***

### **Middle Session:**

SPY moves from the 431 STRIKE at approximately 10:15 to the 429 STRIKE at 11:22.

This is a 2-STRIKE MOVE and if we are in any put options, we are exiting here down to runners only.

Given we know that Jerome Powell speaks at 12:00 we are completely risk-off only holding onto positions we are okay with going to zero.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FNegKkcXdviBizDF8W6ex%2FCleanShot%202023-10-20%20at%2007.20.13%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=1aa77821-8bc5-4b9e-83c1-98d59a0cfd6e" alt=""><figcaption><p>The two strike move happens around 11:20 and we want to risk off.</p></figcaption></figure>

The middle session was some of the wildest price action we've ever seen.

The algos got Powell's remarks and reacted with pure violence.

Just look at this candle.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F5qmDAOiDv8VM5S1wECpH%2FCleanShot%202023-10-20%20at%2007.34.43%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=66958a29-6526-403c-bbf9-3427e6bdbee2" alt="" width="563"><figcaption><p>exactly at 12:00... tell us again the markets are not RIGD</p></figcaption></figure>

The initial reaction to JPOW speaking is usually the fakeout before the real move.&#x20;

We keep the BEAR TREND BIAS and we're looking for any and every bear trade to enter.

Price begins moving up towards the HIGH of the session and we get TWO BEAR BOMBS both return 200%+ with no drawdown in only 13 minutes.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FasjHuNkOodzRu5mmmkPS%2FCleanShot%202023-10-20%20at%2007.36.41%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=c72a5dff-9319-4cbf-9ea3-c06eff37ff3d" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

12:35 we've captured a 3-STRIKE MOVE when we also get two more BEAR BOMBS. If you're in the trade, it's close to a 200% gain at this time. \
\
Depending on your trading strategy you can exit some of the position or continue holding as it's possible we will go lower and 5-STRIKES or more is possible.&#x20;

However at 12:38 we tap just below the 428 STRIKE and price begins to move up.&#x20;

As soon as it goes above the 428 STRIKE we want to exit the position down to runners only. That is a 4-STRIKE move.&#x20;

At this point, you have captured THE MOVE close to 4-STRIKES and over a 200% return in less than 20 minutes of total trade time.&#x20;

You should take a second, drink a maithai and decide if the rest of the session is worth trading or not.&#x20;

***

### FINAL SESSION:

We're combining the middle and final sessions into one because at this point, you should probably stop trading.

However this part is very important.

There's a massive pump off of the bottom a 4-STRIKE move back towards the previous high of the day.

ONLY WHEN WE GET TO THIS POINT DOES THE BULL FLOW SHOW UP.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FPOpB0vZxb4DfrW45m2cc%2FCleanShot%202023-10-20%20at%2007.52.19%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=6e3ccbb6-5b67-4e9d-9220-dae60668400c" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Here's why these trades are a BAD IDEA:

1.) It's a BEAR TREND (we expect price action to move down)

2.) A 4-STRIKE MOVE already happened by the time the alerts appear

Traders got crushed by the move up, the move down and are trying to make it all back here in desperation.&#x20;

Do not be desperate.

Keep the bear bias.

The small fast trade? It worked out pretty well returning 254.59% in one hour ending the day at 134.14%.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FY5vCbUkP3m2LpILrroLe%2FCleanShot%202023-10-20%20at%2008.04.17%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=cab069b4-9574-4ead-8108-d825842b9d3b" alt="" width="375"><figcaption><p>no drawdown and 100%+ return what's better?</p></figcaption></figure>

&#x20;That's how you trade a perfect BEAR TREND day!

***

### Session Recap:

This was as fun and volatile session as we can remember. Powell speaks and the market listens. You had multiple opportunities to make A LOT of money with SPY closing near the low of the day and making the biggest move down starting in the final session.

**BEAR TREND REMINDERS:**

**✅** Expect a 2-3 STRIKE MOVE in the trend's direction

**✅** Anticipate price action to move in the trend's direction the entire session and possibly close at the low

**✅** Remember that max gains on TREND days have extended hold periods, sometimes up to the full session length.&#x20;

We got all three of them on 10/19/23.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F6u8SiZkKqvMLNjjUj5au%2FCleanShot%202023-10-20%20at%2008.14.44%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=81d1222f-db6e-4086-a8c7-28fa8e7a4fe6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**TREND STRATEGY:**\
\
Trading alerts based off of the open session trend puts the user at an advantage. You win when the house (Wall Street) wins. It is not guaranteed... this is trading after all and 0DTE is the most degenerate financial derivate ever created.&#x20;


# SPY - Bear Trend - Late Move - 482.05% Gain - 9/20/23

Case Study: On Jerome Powell and FOMC day the RIGD 0DTE options system identifies an early trend with SPY put options returning up to 482.05% on 9/20/2023.

**Summary:**

On September 20, 2023 we had FOMC and a Jerome Powell speech scheduled at 14:00. These are  known market events of significant importance. Anytime Jerome Powell opens his mouth, the market moves. When events like this are scheduled, we notify users through the warning modal.&#x20;

**OPEN** - BEAR TREND Medium Signal identified

**MIDDLE** - BEAR TREND was PENDING

**END** - BEAR TREND was CONFIRMED. Alerts returned up to 482.05% with no drawdown.

***

### **Open Period:**

The RIGD system works by scoring every option trade in the first hour (930 - 1030).

It detected 5 BEAR BOMBs to 1 BULL BOMB.

This triggers the algo to alert users to a BEAR TREND with medium signal for the trading day.

**What does the BEAR TREND tell us?**&#x20;

BEAR TREND carries strong probability that a move to the downside will happen.&#x20;

When a TREND is identified the hold period for maximum gain is typically the entire session length.

**What alerts should I look for on BEAR TREND days?**

Look to trade:

* BEAR SWINGS
* BEAR LOTTOS
* BEAR BOMBS (+500 score is best)&#x20;

Avoid trading:

* BULL BOMBS

Proceed with caution:

* BULL SWINGS
* BULL LOTTOS

It can be profitable to trade against the trend, but typically the maximum gain is limited (sub 100%) and hold time is very short.&#x20;

If you enter trades on the opposite side practice tight risk management.

Under all scenarios LOTTOS should always be considered a 100% loss the moment entered given their extreme volatility.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2Fk2CSP2mtHd7st5XE2CQP%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=9469eeb1-ba74-499c-b5b8-a09d800a3370" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

These trades were initially profitable, but the bear trend did not hold during the middle session.

***

### **Middle Period:**

This was unique as it was the first middle session where we saw five LOTTO alerts (OTM options) triggered.&#x20;

These were the only alerts fired during the middle.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FgQYCAU0Taji3fWeJhuli%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=5d6f9895-6170-4083-8bb6-4c822e645096" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

In this scenario the BEAR TREND is not confirmed.&#x20;

However is it not rejected.

When we view the chart the important thing to view are the blue lines (opening price) and red lines (strike prices).

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FXx5vAFoGpVT9yMbAXIrg%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=b7e4efbb-081a-4a52-9be3-cc2ebf41f455" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

What you'll notice is at the end of the middle session (13:30) we are near the blue line, the opening price for the day on SPY. There are no red lines. Five hours have passed and price has gone nowhere.

**How we interpret the middle:**

Four LOTTOS fire towards the end of the middle session. If we were going to see a rally to the upside, it's likely we would have seen them grouped with BULL BOMBS and GREEN FLORBS.

Given the BEAR TREND, it's likely these are cheap hedges in the event price does not go down.

The move has not happened yet as the market is waiting for FOMC at 14:00.

We go into the event keeping the BEAR TREND bias and are looking to enter any BEAR alerts that fire off.

***

### FINAL PERIOD:

There is a BEAR BOMB sent right before the FOMC statement is released at 14:00.

Immediately there's a massive move down.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F6ooQ2B7HPhBJ2euwtRGh%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=4e942858-fe8f-4fbf-b466-bdb3211c5552" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

However after the move a BULL SWING alert is fired.

Remember on a BEAR TREND day we prefer to trade in that direction but will consider BULL SWINGS for a short holding period.

These worked perfectly.

#### 14:01 - 327 BULL SWING

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FUz2OX6DrNG9PRrZei8zX%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=f2c3c75b-15ba-476d-bbfa-60df54760acf" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

The BULL SWING is a perfect tag of the bottom candle and returns 70.92% in 32 minutes.&#x20;

With BULL SWINGS on a BEAR TREND day, we do not want to be in the trade for very long.

Additionally we know Jerome Powell is speaking at 14:30.

#### 14:33 - 303 BEAR BOMB perfect tag

The press conference begins and a BEAR BOMB fires off.&#x20;

At this point it is the second BEAR ALERT sent after the open. It matches the trend.

We know that taking the trade after SPY hulked up feels bad.&#x20;

**Emotionally it feels like the wrong thing to do.**

But that's markets 101.&#x20;

The lizard people know this and exploit it every chance they get.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FpkfP68lNPy2FZwLUbu0M%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=15d44f6e-7762-4723-9225-6417eb4aa9a0" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This ends up being the best trade of the day returning 482.05% with no drawdown.

It does not get better than that.

***

### Session Recap:

**OPEN** - BEAR TREND medium strength identified

**MIDDLE** - Choppy price action, no significant opposite (bullish) alerts. BEAR TREND is PENDING.

**FINAL** - event at 14:00 and price drops before a short rally and then nuke until the end of the session. BEAR TREND is confirmed.

Once again the open trend was the winning side and maximum gain occurred only by holding until the end of the session.&#x20;

The choppy middle did not give a clear direction because of the event beginning at 14:00.&#x20;

If you followed the BEAR ALERTS from the open and held until the end of the session these were the returns.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FjYhZbssNeIqn9DCfnyh2%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=701b3931-d5af-46c0-b915-61d75850e1e3" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

However they experienced a significant drawdown along the way.

Beta members can [view the full day by clicking here.](https://beta.rigd.ai/flows/spy?day=2023-08-20)

**Further considerations:**

This was a difficult day to trade because the MIDDLE did not confirm the trend. Often when an OPEN TREND is identified the move will continue throughout the entire session.

The optimal method of trading SPY on 9/20/23 was either taking profit on the early alerts and leaving runners (a few contracts) on until the end of the day or waiting for the BEAR alerts that happened in the ending session.

Viewing LOTTOS as a hedge against your positions may slightly limit profits, but could also reduce losses in the event the trend does not hit.&#x20;

TREND days continue to have extended holding periods for maximum gain.

**Future Development:**\
\
RIGD is building a priority feed that will only notify you for high probability alerts that match the trend.&#x20;

This will make TRENDS easier to follow without the need to stay up to date on what's happening in the markets or the application.


# SPY & QQQ - Bear Trend - High Volume - 10/26/23

Case Study: Another easy day to trade 0DTE and make money if you were patient and followed the BEAR TREND.

**Summary:**

Open lower and move lower was the theme on Thursday and it was an incredible day to trade because volatility showed her sweet beautiful face with big moves down, big moves up and big moves down again. Following the RIGD 0DTE trading strategy worked incredibly well.

### OPEN SESSION

Both SPY and QQQ saw a big drop in the first 45 minutes of trading before chopping at the 415 and 316 strike.&#x20;

If you traded the BEAR ALERTS at the open, you had 100-150% gains at this time and should exit down to runners.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FudM3RMhyeAl7WenHrivr%2FCleanShot%202023-10-27%20at%2005.46.10%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=c21ef4a8-4dbd-423a-9152-434b8156ffac" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2F6v7QxlZxGpIFufS2Zd87%2FCleanShot%202023-10-27%20at%2005.47.56%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=65f3c8ed-d82e-4b9b-8a9c-f793892e97dd" alt=""><figcaption><p>3 DOWN MOVE then CHOP</p></figcaption></figure>

Because we are already 3-STRIKES DOWN from the open price, BEAR ALERTS are going to be higher risk and lower return.&#x20;

### TREND:

SPY is in a BEAR TREND with HIGH VOLUME&#x20;

QQQ is a ZERO TREND with HIGH VOLUME

When a trend is detected on one side **and there's high volume**, we will use the trend strategy for each.

Often the opposite side without the trend (QQQ in this case) has higher returns.&#x20;

***

### MIDDLE SESSION:

Both SPY and QQQ begin to rally at \~ 10:30.

Here we are waiting for an alert to enter a BEAR trade.

We anticipate a 2-3 STRIKE MOVE in that direction, but it's not clear at what price level that will happen.&#x20;

Patience pays off because at 10:54 and 10:59 two perfect alerts are fired.

**SPY**

SPY has returned to the open price. Anyone who bought PUTS expecting the price action to continue just got killed. This is a perfect time to enter the trade because we are in a BEAR TREND with HIGH VOLUME.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FhO2QnuQ7NkZ4RW7F3HW6%2FCleanShot%202023-10-27%20at%2006.03.45%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=01d22d80-d2a8-469e-88ab-8a40935ce9fc" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is a perfect trade, only a -4.43% drawdown with a max gain of 241.14% and end of day return at 181.24%.

**QQQ**

QQQ went 3-STRIKES DOWN in the open, so the short-lived rally only brings us to the 348 STRIKE.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FEF1KwCwVw3PQxOVeyn4E%2FCleanShot%202023-10-27%20at%2005.57.37%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=1387da14-3962-4ae4-aa67-93e53fe02efd" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

This is a full size trade and an insane winner with 0% drawdown, 268.66% max gain and 198.27% end of day return.&#x20;

**DEADZONE:**

At 12:15, it begins to look like the market may have put a bottom in.&#x20;

This is 4 DOWN for SPY and 6 DOWN for QQQ.

When we get 4-5-6 STRIKES DOWN from the OPEN PRICE, we want to avoid BEAR ALERTS. It's unusual (but not impossible) that we see another nuke to drop us a full 6-7-8-9 STRIKES.&#x20;

The lizards will fuck over the most people and make the most money by crushing traders who bought put late.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Simple rule to make and save you lots of money:**\
\
4-6 DOWN = NO BEARS, TRADE BULLS\
\
4-6 UP = NO BULLS TRADE BEARS
{% endhint %}

***

### **END OF DAY RAMP**

The market bottoms around 13:30 and proceeds to melt straight up. RIGD perfectly tags the event.

On SPY we get a 595 BULL followed immediately by a 870 BULL. Massive scores when we are 4-STRIKES DOWN from the OP (open price)

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FQF2JohFJOBsOnq1W3gUY%2FCleanShot%202023-10-27%20at%2006.35.29%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=3e670266-2c1e-4592-be3a-ede994816423" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There's also a LOTTO at 14:33, which meets the [LOTTO Trade Strategy requirements.](broken://pages/7qjYn6oELTU4nKSTzibP)&#x20;

**QQQ**

At 13:27 RIGD fires a BULL CLUSTER (3-bull alerts within 1 hour with no opposite side alerts) that's 6D from the open price.&#x20;

It's a massive winner hitting a max gain of 233.86%.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FbyYJGgcLj5GMdKPFk6zh%2FCleanShot%202023-10-27%20at%2006.23.56%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=19d9cdab-a8da-4936-a5c1-f47bcbc0d1ad" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

15:04, RIGD fires a 2D - 664 BEAR BOMB.

This is an epic trade because:

* BEAR TREND DAY&#x20;
* PRICE has rallied from 6D to 2D
* 664 SCORE is HIGH
* A nuke here would fuck a lot of people over

It's a phenomenal trade closing near the max gain at +200.43% in 56 minutes.

***

### Summary:

There was a lot of money to be made on the way down, the way up and the way down again. \
\
When we see a 2-3 DOWN MOVE in the OPEN SESSION, do not chase it. There will be more opportunities.&#x20;

The BULL ALERTS had a high max gain, but went negative by the end of the session. If you are trading against the trend, do not expect to hold for an extended period of time because it can quickly reverse.

Traders should always consider OC (open change) first and then score when using RIGD alerts.&#x20;


# SPY - BULL TREND - EASY MONEY MONDAY - 10/23/23

Case Study: It doesn't get much easier than this with 0DTE trading. We got a BULL TREND, then a BULL SWING alert and left for maithais (we missed the BEAR SWING)

**Summary:**

It's Monday and the international chaos we were promised over the weekend never materialized, but still SPY and QQQ open lower.  The market had other ideas with RIGD detecting 7 BULLS to 1 BEAR alert during the open session (first hour) on SPY. We got the alert we wanted right after and everyone made money.

### **Open Session:**

This was almost TOO EASY to trade. We left a lot of gains on the table due to PTSD from last week's market action.

We open with mixed flow and price begins to move down, but we took a shot on the BULL at the bottom and boy was it great.&#x20;

Price returns to the open (blue line) and it's another great time to buy. We don't mind chasing the rally a bit.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FFXj1XlaSpfxWsD400MYS%2Fimage.png?alt=media&amp;token=cbdcf6ca-0106-43ff-a8dd-61c5cd0be2b8" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

At 10:15 we sold the majority of our contracts for two key reasons:

**1.) THE MOVE HAPPENED** - the low was \~ 418 and the high was 421. You returned 100%+ in less than 30 minutes. Take the money.

**2.) RED FLORBS -** we see a ton of RED FLORBS indicating traders taking bearish positions after THE MOVE. We exit and wait for what happens next.<br>

***

### **BULL TREND:**

RIGD works by scoring the Open Session (first hour) and determining a trend for the rest of the session (full day).

You can view the trend in the third module under the chart.&#x20;

With 7 BULLS to 1 BEAR, it's a 4-bar bull trend. Very strong indeed.&#x20;

When a BULL TREND is detected, our view for the remainder of the session is that at some point there will be a 2-3 STRIKE MOVE that way.

For strict trend followers, you can select ONLY the alerts that match the trend by enabling KOMODO.

Steven Speelburgh couldn't have written a better story for how well KOMODO worked today, so we'll use this as our case study.&#x20;

When KOMODO is enabled, you will only see the high probability alerts that match the trend.

We get one instantly.&#x20;

10:36 RIGD fires at 317 BULL SWING ALERT for the 420 call option on SPY

It's a perfect pinpoint, picture perfect tag that immediately rips up after with zero drawdown along the way to 100%+ gains.&#x20;

Like we said Spielberg couldn't have done it better.

Total hold time is less than one-hour for a full 3-STRIKE move.&#x20;

Candlestick charting has come to RIGD, but it's a bit of a work in progress.&#x20;

Here's how epic the BULL SWING alert is:

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FQJ3OuMbpxW4Ta0CGF8ib%2FCleanShot%202023-10-23%20at%2016.58.22%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=4cd6dbff-af2e-4d67-a30a-878d35db8e06" alt="" width="375"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Like we say this app is idiot-friendly, but not idiot proof. You do have to make the trade on your own.

SPY goes for one more move higher before a total nuke with all of the gains lost.

That's why we recommend to stop after THE MOVE and go do whatever it is you like to do with your free time. A 100 - 200% return in a little over an hour is epic. Do it every day for a few years and you'll be Bill Gates.

### Harder Trade, Bigger Return - 307 BEAR SWING

The easy trade was following the BULL TREND, BUYING THE BULL SWING and capturing the move. However it was not the most profitable for the day.

That award goes to the 14:41 - 307 BEAR SWING.&#x20;

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FJOSatrhBrurbGhowoI7O%2FCleanShot%202023-10-24%20at%2007.34.51%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=d1a69fcd-363c-478a-8095-0ed035689918" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

You have a -7.83% drawdown on the way to a 342.90% max gain or 285.48% end of day return.

That's insane.

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FPhMCDObSeUVlpfShZTFs%2FCleanShot%202023-10-24%20at%2007.40.25%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=341e6080-ad57-4e23-8f83-6872a731bdd6" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

There are a few things that make this alert extremely profitable.

**TIME OF DAY:**&#x20;

At 14:41 there is only an hour and 20 minutes remaining in the session. The spot price for SPY is 423.13 at the time, so the 423 put is out of the money.

Because the 423 put is out of the money, the contract is cheap at only 0.61.&#x20;

**THE MOVE:**

SPY moves from 423 to 420 by the end of the session. It's a 3-STRIKE MOVE.

Catching this at the end of the day is insane.&#x20;

The mental cheatsheet: <mark style="color:yellow;">No time + OTM with a MOVE INTO THE MONEY = LOTS OF MONEY</mark>

#### **Was this alert worth trading?**

If we're still trading at 14:41 - this is a strong signal and a must take trade.&#x20;

First, it's a BEAR SWING on a BULL TREND is in our second tier of KOMODO preferred alerts.&#x20;

But the reason why we consider it is as follows:

<figure><img src="https://3732079286-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FAYnLqsxvP6hQPbRpJv6D%2Fuploads%2FqqBKIYUpkakx751ZCK5W%2FCleanShot%202023-10-24%20at%2007.52.48%402x.png?alt=media&amp;token=f1f63a0d-8c83-4b7a-bd10-42157a0d79e4" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

From the bottom at 9:45 to 13:00 we got a 1.59% move for +6.62. That's massive. We consider the BULL TREND / THE MOVE to be complete. \
\
From 13:30 - 14:41 the flow is almost completely bearish. There are no more BULLS, only red florbs and BEARS.

If the TREND were to continue, we would expect to see more BULL FLOW. This does not occur and price moves down.

***

### **IMPORTANT LESSONS:**&#x20;

The OPEN TREND is the best predictor of price action for the day.

The BULL TREND on SPY at 10:31 followed by the 317 BULL SWING 10:36 is the best high probability alert you can possibly receive. \
\
There was no trend on QQQ and volume was lower than average. This did not stop the "other side typically returns higher gains" pseudorule from working once again.
