You never think you’ll say: “why is there rice in the bathroom sink.”
Then you have a two year old and you say: “Honestly, I’m surprised there isn’t more rice in the bathroom sink.”

The King Of Cyprus tried to take this man prisoner after his men shipwrecked there. He conquered the island and sold it to the Templars out of spite.

Learn to make $1K a day with proper risk mgmt. using these institutional levels.
$SPY traders can use the exact same levels with 2 point OTM strikes.
Market Environment:
SPX Spot: 7,535 (Gap up from Friday's 7,489 close)
ATM IV: 16.4% (low)
0DTE Straddle: 28 pts
Major Inflection: 7,475 (Below this level, expect volatility to expand as dealer hedging favors selling into weakness.)
Bullish:
Trigger: Hold above 7,535 and reclaim 7,540 on a 5-minute candle.
Stop Loss: 5-minute close back below 7,530.
Then Follow the chart.
Bearish:
Trigger: Below 7520 on a 5-min candle
Stop Loss: 5-min closes above 7530
Sideways Plan:
With a 28-point 0DTE straddle and relatively low IV, if SPX remains trapped between 7,510-7,550, premium sellers should benefit.
7490/7480 short put, 7585/7595 short calls.

End of Day Review:
$SPX beautifully tagged both of our extreme levels today DT3 and UT3. Any early short iron condor between those two zones would have put us under serious pressure, which is exactly why I chose to sell 7400 short puts instead of fading both sides from the open. That decision worked out very well.
I was done trading before lunch, but in hindsight, calls above our call trigger or short puts after stabilization were the highest-probability plays.
We got excellent two-way volatility today. As expected, the early flush accelerated once our 7450 inflection level broke. Mechanically, that’s where MM hedging flips forcing big boys to sell into weakness, which fuels downside acceleration and vol expansion. Once that selling pressure was absorbed, buyers stepped back in and the market rallied all the way to UT3.
Days like today are a great reminder that understanding SPX mechanics is everything. The levels don’t predict the future. They help us react with discipline when the market gets there.

Market Environment:
SPX Spot: 7455 (gapped up from 7437)
0DTE ATM IV: 23.1%
Expected Move (Straddle): 40 points
Overnight strength favors buyers early, but gap-ups often invite profit-taking before the next directional move.
Major Inflection: 7450 (below 7450 Bearish, above 7450 bullish with Caution)
Bullish Trigger: 5-min above 7465, SL : 5-min below 7460
Then follow the chart.
Bearish Trigger: 5-min below 7448. SL: 5-min above 7455
Then follow the chart.
Sideways Strategy:
Wait for ATM IV to contract after the open. If SPX remains range-bound, I'll look at a small-size 7485/7495 × 7425/7415 short iron condor.
Why? Thin liquidity below our inflection could trigger a fast downside acceleration. I'd rather let that play out before selling premium.
In short: the downside path appears easier than the upside today, but only after price confirms acceptance below the Inflection. That's where I'd expect big boys hedging to have the greatest impact. It's all about how they position.
Let's print together, Shall We?

Twitter posters doing more to increase foreign demand for American beef in a week than the Beef Checkoff has done in 30 years. Amazing.
The distinction here is that for 4950 of those 5000 years China was a preindustrial, traditionalist agrarian society.
Once you industrialize. You need inputs to keep the factories going. Markets to sell your goods to. So that you can pay wages and buy more inputs etc. industrialized economies are machines that can’t be shut off. Or everyone dies.
I have an odd suspicion that if a person decided to urinate or defecate in front of Lenin or Mao. That person would’ve been summarily executed on the spot.

Boys, new way to mess with your wife. When she tells you in insane details one of her weird dreams.
Use @grok imagine to make a video of the dream using the explanation she gave you. It does impressively well.
Then post it on one of your sock puppet accounts. Send her the link.

Good trolling.
It’s January. He’s standing in a field of winter wheat.
You could see his face as he was trying to make up a name for a fictional carrot buyer.
One of farmers great joys in life is trolling non farmers about farming. It’s like a sport.
This carrot farmer has almost a million dollars of carrots to pick but this administration and the fear of ICE ran off all the workers and he will lose his farm.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The video depicts a satirical TikTok; carrots are harvested in Kansas in spring or fall, not January, and commercial operations use mechanical harvesters rather than manual labor. shawnee.k-state.edu/lawn-garden/Ca… en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrot_ha…
I’ve joked for awhile that we make crime legal in the United States. But, I was talking about things like corruption, bribery, fraud etc.
I didn’t think they would actually start legalizing rape and murder.

First post for the substack I’m getting going. Intending on writing about history and showing how very little is new. There’s always an example of the current thing happening before.
