📈 SPY gaps & VWAP setups

[ZTrades @ztradesX]

I’m back 🫶 Yes, Im not giving up easily😀
Since July I built a Python algo for SPY gap fills (with ChatGPT as my wingman 😃).
It’s live-paper testing now 📊 - will share results soon
From now on I’ll drop whatever thoughts I have on trading & markets

Steven didn’t get rich by trading more.

He got rich by trading less, with precision.

While others chase hype and blow up, he waits, tracks and executes.

His story proves:

You don’t need a team or 100s of strategies.

You need one that works, and the discipline to repeat it.

I blew the FTMO challenge. Again.
It hurts — not just the loss, but breaking my own rules.
I wanted the win to mean something.
Now I start over.
$1K small account from July 1.
Not trading for money.
Trading to rebuild trust in myself

🎯 Today’s only valid trade setup:
✅ Futures below VWAP
✅ SPY moving to fill the gap
Discipline > dopamine trades 🧠
Let’s keep it clean.

🧠 No gap fill on $SPY yet — futures stayed above VWAP
But I wasn’t patient… jumped into 4 trades I shouldn’t have 😬
📉 Not proud of the execution
📊 So far +3,473 CZK
Profit doesn’t mean good trading.

Big gap on $SPY this morning 👀
Based on 25 years of backtesting, there's a ~70%+ probability that it fills at least 50% of the gap 📉📈
Let’s see if the odds play out today 🎯

📈 25-Year Backtest on $SPY Gaps
🕳️ Gap fill stats:
▫️ 50% fill: 78.86% of days
▫️ 100% fill: 62.89% of days
Gap fills aren’t a myth — they’re a real edge.
Now the question is: how do you trade them with discipline? 👀
