@ronimachell @VigilantFox I use about 10 drops (70% concentration dmso) per nostril and follow it up with a dr neilmed flush. It burns like hell so I have the flush ready. I haven’t tried just the dmso without the flush (yet).

Few years back someone shared a clip from a Bad Bunny concert where the backing track cut out, but he kept singing with earplugs in. 😂💀😂

@TheJoeySwoll Mitochondrial disease? @hubermanlab guest says red light helps by clearing nitric oxide so mitochondria can pump out more ATP. In small trials, kids got better if it’s not progressed too far. Definitely worth a shot since there are no downsides to trying.

@spacemnke Great video! Good reminder to start with the daily to get the overall picture. What was that dotted moving average around the 15-18 minute mark?

If $SPX 0DTE feels impossible, this is for you.
This is the first time I’ve publicly broken down the 90% win rate method used by the top 1% of SPX traders.

📼 Video: Attached
📝 Full breakdown: Below

If you see value in this I'd appreciate a ❤️
(no pressure)

Most traders lose because they:

- Oversize
- Guess direction
- Ignore pivots
- Misread momentum
- Don’t track internals

Your edge comes from structure, not luck.

⸻

The Core Mental Framework

WSHDH
What Should Happen Doesn’t Happen/What Should Happen Does Happen

The most important signal in short term trading
When the market refuses to do what it should, something bigger and more surprising will happen.

⸻

How Price Actually Moves

Price is a battle between buyers and sellers.
Pivots show where one side last won.
Every decision starts with one question.
What should happen here?

⸻

What A Pivot Really Is

A pivot is a level where:

- Buyers or sellers won decisively
- Trend shifted
- Volume expanded
- Emotion peaked

Levels with memory always matter.

⸻

SPX Example Pivot

October 10 High and Low
A clear battleground
Above the high, buyers control
Below the low, sellers control
Inside the range, two way action

⸻

Failed Breakdowns

A failed breakdown is when:

- Price breaks below a pivot
- Sellers fail to push it lower
- Buyers reclaim the level
- The backtest holds

This is where the squeeze begins.

⸻

Why Failed Breakdowns Work

Failed breakdowns:

- Trap shorts
- Trigger stops
- Flip momentum
- Create velocity

Dips are fuel for higher. Overtime this is true.

⸻

Reading Momentum

Momentum reveals:
- Who is in control
- If the move is real
- If a trend is weakening
- If exhaustion is near

Strong trends expand.
Weak trends stall.

⸻

The Internals That Matter

Internals confirm direction:

- $VIX
- Breadth, $ADD
- UVOL and DVOL
- $TICK

Price is the surface. Internals are the engine.

⸻

Using Internals Correctly

Internals answer
- Are buyers real
- Are sellers exhausted
- Is momentum fading
- Is the shift beginning

They expose the truth of the price action.

⸻

Position Sizing Rules

SPX 0DTE is the highest volatility trade.
This requires strict rules.

Rules:

- Never start with SPX
- Only trade it with gains
- Use small sizing
- Keep emotion low

⸻

Zero Risk Structure In 0DTE

Trade SPX with profits only.
Worst case, lose the profit.
Best case, multiply it.
This is how you never go red on SPX.

⸻

Taking Profit

Take profit in batches:

25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%

Scaling removes emotion and builds consistency.

⸻

Rolling

Roll gains, not losses.
Example:
6700c gains. Roll 30 percent into 6710c.

You keep upside open while protecting your day.

⸻

Full Framework

The process:

1. Identify the pivot
2. Ask WSHDH
3. Watch momentum
4. Confirm with internals
5. Size appropriately
6. Take profits
7. Roll gains

Simple to understand. Hard to master. Worth doing.

⸻

Example Walkthrough

October 10 pivot example:

- Breakdown fails
- Buyers reclaim
- Backtest holds
- Momentum flips
- Internals confirm
- Short squeeze triggers

This is the model to internalize and implement.

⸻

Final Perspective

SPX becomes simple when you:

- Understand structure
- Respect risk
- Follow WSHDH
- Trust pivots
- Track internals

Clarity replaces noise.
Structure replaces guessing.
This is the blueprint to how SPX finally makes sense.
