Week in Review 3/24/2025-3/28/2025

It was another profitable week for us at SPX Option Trader!  We ended this past week with +217% ROI in our SPX Aggressive trader, +226% ROI in our SPY Aggressive trader, +43% ROI in our SPX Daily Outlook, +52% ROI in our SPY Daily Outlook, -79% ROI in our Late Day Trader and +149% ROM in our SPX Spread Trader. It was a good week for us!

This week, there were several instances where, after exiting our Daily Outlook trade at a small loss, the market reversed and moved significantly in our forecasted direction—offering greater profit potential for those who held on. While this can be frustrating, it’s a reality every trader must accept. However, many times, exiting early has protected us from much larger losses. Successful trading isn’t about any single trade but about long-term consistency. The key is to keep losses small while allowing winning trades to run. While the Daily Outlook may occasionally miss out on larger moves later in the day, that’s where the Aggressive Trader strategy comes in—providing an option for those willing to take on more risk in pursuit of greater rewards.

Below are our comments for each day of this past week.  We look forward to another exciting week ahead, day trading SPX and SPY 0DTE options.

3/24/2025

Daily Outlook

We forecast an up day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m. Today was another “High Volatility Trade” which means the trade is higher risk and we use our adjusted guidelines as discussed on the website. It was another fast trade today, as High Volatility trades often are.  As the market went in our forecast direction we adjusted our trailing stop. As we hit over +50% in our option position we were using about a 10% trailing stop. As it started to pull back, we exited our positions just after 9:40 a.m. for +40% in SPX and +45% in SPY. Another fast and profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Aggressive Trader

We forecast an up day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m. We exited our positions at 10 a.m. for +54% in SPX +58% in SPY. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Spread Trader

We held our SPX Spread Trader position to the close for +36% ROM.   Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Late Day Trader

Due to market conditions, there was no trade for us today.

3/25/2025

Daily Outlook

We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just before 9:35 a.m.  As the market went in our forecast direction we adjusted our trailing stop. As we hit over +30% in our option position we were using about a 30% trailing stop. As it started to bounce, we exited our positions just after 9:40 a.m. for +3% in SPX and +2% in SPY. Basically, a flat day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Aggressive Trader

We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just before 9:35 a.m. We exited our positions at 9:55 a.m. for +3% in SPX -1% in SPY. Basically, a flat day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Spread Trader

We exited our SPX Spread Trade early for a return +10% ROM. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Late Day Trader

Just before 1:30 p.m. we entered a put option trade. The market bounced around and then started to drop just after 2 p.m. But then there was a fast rally off the low of the day, which was concerning. So, we exited our position just before 2:10 p.m. for -25%. Given the fast reversal off the low, we weren’t willing to risk any further at this point. So, a small drawdown today and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

3/26/2025

Daily Outlook

We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just before 9:35 a.m.  As we hit nearly +20% in our option positions we were watching the 5776 level as a possible stop, just above the high of the day. Unfortunately, there was a fast rally and as it did we exited our positions just after 9:35 a.m. for -17% in SPX and -14% in SPY. Shortly after, the market turned and much greater profit was possible later in the day. Always frustrating when we exit at a small loss and miss the big run, but it happens. Consistency is the key, and while we missed the run today, there is always tomorrow!

Aggressive Trader

We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just before 9:35 a.m. We exited our positions just before 9:40 a.m. for -31% in SPX -28% in SPY. Unfortunately, we exited just before the market ran in our forecast direction. So, we shake it off and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Spread Trader

We held our SPX Spread Trader position to the close for +53% ROM. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Late Day Trader

3/27/2025

Daily Outlook

We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just before 9:35 a.m.  As we hit over +50% in our option positions we started using about a 25% trailing stop. We were also watching the market closely as it hit the first target low in the SPX. The market started to reverse fast off that level, which is always concerning. So we exited our positions at 9:45 a.m. for +35% in SPX and +32% in SPY. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Aggressive Trader

We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions just before 9:35 a.m. We exited our positions just before 9:50 a.m. for +10% in SPX +12% in SPY. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Spread Trader

We exited our SPX Spread Trade early for a return +5% ROM. Another profitable day and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Late Day Trader

Just before 1:55 p.m. we entered a put option trade. The market went our way briefly and then it started to bounce. As it broke the support level of 5699 we exited our position just after 2:05 p.m. for -54%. Given that fast reversal, we weren’t willing to risk any further at this point. So, we shake it off and we look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
