13 Trades. Zero Losses. Still Perfect. | Wall of Wins | Week Ending 26 Feb 2026

What. A. Week.

The market yoyoed like a toddler on a sugar rush. Down 822 points Monday. Up 370 Tuesday. Nvidia delivered perfection Wednesday and the market shrugged. Thursday brought the sell-off we called using VIX channel lows and MACD-v overextension.

Through all of it – the Premium Poppers just kept collecting.

13 trades across three trading days. Zero losses. 100% win rate.

This is what systematic trading looks like when the system does the thinking. You don’t need to predict the market’s direction. You don’t need to know whether Nvidia will beat by $1.9 billion or $3 billion. You don’t even need to be at your desk.

You need the setups. The rules. And the discipline to press the button.

Let’s break down every trade. PopPop.

SPX. 30 Minutes. One Trade. Job Done.

Trade less. Profit more. This isn’t trading… it’s income engineering.

Market Briefing:

MONDAY 23 FEB – THE CARNAGE DAY

Market context: Dow crashed 822 points. SPX dropped 1.04%. IBM lost 13.2% to a blog post. Software sector in freefall. VIX spiked to 21+. Total carnage.

Popper context: Perfect conditions for premium selling. Volatility up, premiums inflated, and the mechanical setups fired beautifully.

SPX – 3 Trades, 3 Wins

Trade 1: 1st Breakout

• Index gain: $20

• Option ROC: 61.5%

• Clean break of the opening range. Textbook 1st BO entry with the momentum carrying straight through. The kind of setup you dream about on a volatile day.

Trade 2: VWAP Trade

• Index gain: $15

• Option ROC: 55.6%

• VWAP retest entry after the initial breakout move. The market gave us the traditional trending action with a pullback to VWAP – exactly what Premium Poppers thrive on.

Trade 3: Counter-Trend Trade

• Index gain: $15

• Option ROC: 62.5%

• Experimental counter-trend setup. The market was fading from the morning’s action and the counter-trend entry caught the reversal. Still in testing but the results speak for themselves.

SPX Monday total: $50 in index gains across 3 trades. Average ROC: 59.9%

RUT – 2 Trades, 2 Wins

Trade 1: 1st Breakout

• Index gain: $20

• Option ROC: 65.8%

• Uncle Russell broke out cleanly. The 1st BO on RUT was textbook with strong momentum following the break. $$$ all the way.

Trade 2: VWAP Trade (Tiny Scalp)

• Index gain: $5

• Option ROC: 12.5%

• A tiny scalp out on the VWAP trade. Not every trade needs to be a home run. Sometimes you take what the market gives you and move on.

RUT Monday total: $25 in index gains across 2 trades. Average ROC: 39.2%

Monday’s 30-Day Rolling Stats:

• Bull Win: 70.6% (12/17)

• Bear Win: 92.3% (12/13)

• Total Win: 80% (24/30)

Five trades. Zero losses. On the day the Dow crashed 822 points. The Premium Poppers don’t care about market direction. They care about volatility and setups. Monday delivered both.

TUESDAY 24 FEB – THE BIRTHDAY PARTY

Market context: Turnaround Tuesday. SPX rallied 0.77%. Dow bounced 370 points. AMD surged 8.8% on Meta deal. The yoyo continued.

Popper context: Three trades done on the mobile whilst out celebrating a nearly 80th birthday. Cranking it in at 79 and still sprightly enough to throw some shapes without throwing a hip out.

SPX – 2 Trades, 2 Wins

Trade 1: 1st Breakout

• Index gain: $20

• Option ROC: 69.2%

• Clean 1st BO entry caught on the mobile. The chart shows the breakout through the opening range with the green $$$ arrow confirming the hit. Nearly 70% ROC from a phone screen.

Trade 2: 3rd Breakout

• Index gain: $20

• Option ROC: 61.5%

• The 3rd BO fired later in the session. Another $20 in index movement converted to 61.5% ROC on the option. Between the birthday cake and the champers.

SPX Tuesday total: $40 in index gains across 2 trades. Average ROC: 65.4%

RUT – 1 Trade, 1 Win (With a Confession)

Trade 1: 1st Breakout

• Index gain: $12

• Option ROC: 57.2%

• The honest note: should have exited earlier at the 1st BO level. Late trade management because I forgot to set my orders correctly. The chart literally says “Should have exited 1st BO here!” and “Late Trade Management.”

But here’s the beautiful thing – even a slightly mismanaged trade with forgotten order settings still banked 57.2% ROC. The framework protects you from yourself.

RUT Tuesday total: $12 in index gain. 1 trade. Still profitable.

The system doesn’t need a desk. It doesn’t need three monitors. It needs the setups, the rules, and a finger to press the button.

WEDNESDAY 25 FEB

Market context: Pre-Nvidia positioning. SPX rallied 0.81% to 6,946. Nasdaq surged 1.26%. The market held its breath.

Popper context: I missed the setups. Too busy talking at the insiders group session. Expensive conversations.

The community got a nibble though – so at least someone was paying attention whilst I was flapping my gums.

The lesson? Even when the system serves up the setups, you still need to be there to press the button. Or at least set your orders properly before you start chatting. Note to self for next time.

Wednesday total: 0 trades from me. Expensive conversations. The setups were there. I wasn’t.

THURSDAY 26 FEB – THE NVIDIA HANGOVER

Market context: Nvidia delivered perfection the night before ($68.1B revenue, $78B Q1 guide) and the market sold it. ES dropped from 6,959 to 6,894. VIX bounced from channel lows to 18.62 – exactly as we called it using the MACD-v overextension parallel from 12 Feb.

Popper context: The sell-off created beautiful Popper conditions. Volatility returned. Premiums inflated. The setups fired on both SPX and RUT.

SPX – 3 Trades, 3 Wins

Trade 1: VWAP Flop / 5min ORB / 1st Breakout

• Index gain: $17

• Option ROC: 64.3%

• VWAP Flop entry on the 5-minute ORB coinciding with the 1st Breakout. The chart shows the clean break lower from the opening range with the Fib levels plotted – 0.618 at 6,913.59 and 0.5 at 6,903.31.

Trade 2: 1st Breakout

• Index gain: $29

• Option ROC: 65.5%

• The biggest single trade of the week. $29 in index movement captured with 65.5% ROC. The market was selling after Nvidia’s “perfection = meh” reaction and the breakout carried with conviction.

Trade 3: 50% Fib VWAP Pop

• Index gain: $22

• Option ROC: 69.7%

• The highest ROC of the entire week. 50% Fib retracement aligned with VWAP for a textbook pop entry. Nearly 70% return on capital.

SPX Thursday total: $68 in index gains across 3 trades. Average ROC: 66.5%

RUT – 2 Trades, 2 Wins

Trade 1: 1st Breakout

• Index gain: $20

• Option ROC: 68.6%

• Clean 1st BO on Uncle Russell. The chart shows the break of the ORB20 level with momentum following through to the $$$ target.

Trade 2: VWAP Flop / BO + Pullback

• Index gain: $20

• Option ROC: 66.0%

• VWAP Flop with a breakout and pullback entry. Two entries shown in the chart with filled confirmations.

RUT Thursday total: $40 in index gains across 2 trades. Average ROC: 67.3%

Thursday’s 30-Day Rolling Stats:

• Bull Win: 68.8% (11/16)

• Bear Win: 92.9% (13/14)

• Total Win: 80% (24/30)

Five trades on the Nvidia hangover day. Five wins. The VIX bounce from channel lows created exactly the conditions we predicted – and the Poppers capitalized.

THE WEEK IN CONTEXT

This wasn’t a quiet week. This was one of the most chaotic weeks in recent market history.

Monday: Dow crashed 822 points. IBM lost $31 billion to a blog post. Software sector in freefall. Five Popper wins.

Tuesday: Market bounced 370 points. AMD surged. Everything reversed. Three Popper wins on a mobile phone.

Wednesday: Nvidia’s $68 billion earnings. The entire market held its breath. Expensive conversations at the insiders group. The community banked whilst I talked.

Thursday: Nvidia perfection met peak expectations. Market sold off. VIX bounced from channel lows exactly as predicted. Five Popper wins on the sell-off.

The market yoyoed all week. Down, up, up, down. The Premium Poppers didn’t care. They collected through carnage, celebrations, and the biggest earnings call on the planet.

That’s the point. The system doesn’t predict direction. It collects premium regardless of direction. It works from a desk, from a phone, from a birthday party. It works on crash days and rally days and Nvidia days.

It just works. When you follow the rules.

3rd Breakout: Extended momentum play. Used Tuesday on SPX for $20 / 61.5% ROC.

The variety of setups proves the system’s versatility. Different market conditions produce different patterns, but the framework identifies and executes them all mechanically.
