Sometimes, the best trades are the ones that wrap up before most people finish their coffee. Today was one of those days — a clean, early win that took minutes, not hours.

⚙️ A Word on 1/6 DTE Double Calendars
This shorter-term variation of my 2/7 DTE system is still in early testing. It’s leaner, more reactive — and as today showed — capable of generating sharp, focused returns with much lower exposure.
💬 Trader Reflection
It’s tempting to chase more right after a quick win like this. But discipline means not overtrading, especially when a solid profit is already locked in. I’m choosing to sit back and let the system do its job for the rest of the day.
“Some days you let the profits run. Some days you bank early. The key is to stay deliberate either way.”
