💰I made $10,000 in 20 seconds today.
The high conviction scalp that helped drive it happened around 1:40 PM when our @ITMatrixHQ GEX lit up $760 as the MVC.
Charts were clean, holding above 9EMA on 5/15min with pullbacks respecting it.
High conviction setup I'll take all day.

$SPY ended up hitting our target of $740 unfortunately the move came a lot later in the day than ideal and for 0DTE this meant timing on entries was extremely important. I’m just glad the read was there and our road map was there 🔥
SPY GEX into FOMC tomorrow + Friday OPEX
$SPY sitting at 750.72 right on a massive +67.8k gamma wall at the 750 strike (6/18). Heavy negative gamma clusters building lower especially the -94k at 730 .
CTAs projected to sell stocks in EVERY scenario next week (GS estimates).
Downside gameplan favored:
• Resistance: 750-752 (gamma wall likely caps upside)
• Breakdown under 745/740 → negative gamma can accelerate moves
• Targets: 740 → 735 → 730 zone on sustained push
• FOMC reaction tomorrow will set the tone. Hawkish or weak data = higher probability lower
I’m expecting to see some nice volatility also into OPEX going to be looking to catch some great day trades 🔥

we are officially adding dark pool data into our @ITMatrixHQ system🐋
this is just a sneak peak but this is going to be huge on our next step forward, I can’t wait to have you guys trying it out❤️🔥
733P was the big winner but the rest of the day’s gains came from:
• Multiple quick in-and-out scalps on both sides throughout the afternoon session
• Caught the relief bounce in the afternoon session after lunch (nice clean move higher)
Not every trade was a home run, but staying disciplined, respecting GEX flips, and managing risk on the scalps added up nicely.
Grateful for the solid Green Day. Consistency > one big winner.
Caught a monster move: 500% on $SPY 733 puts today
Entered at 11:15 AM and rode the full downside flush as SPY broke lower and never looked back.
The puts peaked around 500% from entry. One of those days where the setup showed and we had the confidence to let it work.
Lesson today: When GEX flips + price respects the 9EMA as resistance, the edge feels very clean.
Grateful for another solid day.
Individual Cash: +$11.8k
Individual Margin: +$7k
Total: +$18.8k

Full breakdown in the thread 👇
Why I took the 733 puts at 11:15:
- SPY was trending lower and already trading **below the 9EMA** on the 15min
- @ITMatrixHQ GEX flipped from upside bias earlier in the morning to clear **downside pressure** (MVC shifted lower)
- Negative gamma building below spot — meaning selling pressure would likely get amplified
- My stop loss was simple: a strong reclaim of the 9EMA (which never happened until I had exited my position)
High conviction entry on the weakness.
10:45am (first heatmap + chart):
• MVC was sitting at 750 with heavy negative gamma (-286k at the 750 strike).
• This was the key level. Losing it meant the large negative gamma below would start amplifying selling pressure.
• Entered the 746 puts right as price broke that level (blue dashed line on the chart).
12:15pm (second heatmap):
• The MVC had flipped lower to the 740 strike, now showing the heaviest negative gamma (-223k).
• This shift lower confirmed the downside bias was strengthening and gave me the conviction to keep runners on.
You can clearly see the gamma magnet moving down with price.
Over $9,000 secured on $SPY 746 puts this morning. Huge shoutout to the best gamma exposure tool in the game, the @ITMatrixHQ GEX, which helped me snipe this entry and stay confident in the downside all day.
At 10:45am, GEX put the MVC at 750. I entered the 746 puts right on the breakdown of that level, knowing a loss of 750 would unleash the heavy negative gamma sitting below and accelerate the selling fast.
By 12:15pm the MVC had flipped hard down to the 740 zone. That handed me the conviction to keep my runners on for more downside.
Price never meaningfully reclaimed the 9EMA into lunch. It chopped a little but stayed weak, and with big tech bleeding alongside it, the read was clear: more room to fall on SPY.
GEX structure lining up with price action is what let me hold through the noise instead of getting shaken out.
Here’s what separated today from all those days we failed to break lower: the heavy negative GEX stacking up below spot. That’s the zone where dealers are short gamma, so every wave of selling gets amplified instead of absorbed. That was my edge.
I rode these all the way down to the lows near 735.50 to 737. The contracts peaked around 2000% at the LOD. I took mine off around 300 to 400%.
GEX didn’t call the exact move. It just showed me where the real pressure was building and where things could get amplified, so I could stay on the right side of it.

Who else caught that nasty selloff today?
Follow for more.
Took a loss on $SPY today, but it was a good reminder why rules exist.
GEX was showing strong negative gamma to the downside with the MVC below spot (different from much of the week). That gave me a clear downside bias into the morning.
Where I went wrong: I broke my own rule and didn’t stack confluences. Let the data drive my bias instead.
I entered my position around 10am. Price stayed above the 9EMA the entire session. Strong bullish support reactions right at and slightly under the EMAs. Never closed candles below them on the 5min or 15min.
The chart was clearly disagreeing with the setup and dropping it to low confidence.
I should’ve stopped out sooner once I saw the mismatch, but I held until the MVC flipped back to the upside on GEX.
I could have flipped and played the slow upside crawl after, but decided to stay cash and regather for tomorrow.
Never let one single thing be the reason you take a setup. Stack your confluences or stay flat. Price action is the ultimate filter. The GEX is great data and a very powerful tool but we have to stay smart to make money in this market.
