The trading plan

  1. Look for agreement.Monitor SPY each minute. Look for trend and momentum to turn in the same direction.
  2. Take the direction.Buy a call for a bullish signal or a put for a bearish signal, subject to the configured entry filters.
  3. Manage the exit.Send protective orders to the broker after a fill. Use the configured stop, target and trailing rules.
  4. Stay on plan.Follow the setup. Respect the exit. Don’t turn a trading day into a bet on getting even.

Backtest snapshot. Modeled trades. Live fills and exits will differ.

$145.10 to $221.32 per recorded session across the recorded test. Central estimate: $171.56 before access.

See costs, sizing & test assumptions
  • Configured strategy only: central estimate $3,431.27, after $2,369.10 in modeled trading costs. Software fees and taxes are not deducted.
  • Includes $0.65 commission per contract per side and $0.02 option-price slippage per side. Entries use the next bar's open after a one-bar lag.
  • 500-share delta exposure target; approximately 6 contracts at 0.80 delta, with a 10-contract cap. Actual live sizing depends on the selected option.
  • Options are modeled from SPY bars, not historical option fills. The model holds volatility constant during each trade. The range changes that volatility assumption, not the exit settings; it is not a loss limit. All 72 trades were priced.
  • 20 recorded sessions, not every market session in the date span. This is a short research sample, not established out-of-sample performance.

After modeled trading costs and one $19 day pass per recorded session. Taxes excluded. Parentheses mark a loss.

Pack credits cost $13.80 per day with the week pack or $9.95 with the month pack. This table uses the full $19 single-day price.

Lower and Upper use different volatility assumptions to price the same configured trades as options. No settings are swapped out to manufacture a worst or best case.

Best possible asks what perfect exit timing could have captured within those same trades. Same entries and contracts, ideal prices picked after seeing the whole move. A reference for reviewing exits, not a result a human can reliably achieve.

Open the test receipt
  • Configured exit rule: none+gb20+arm0.2+sl1+tp3+so60+sc60+mx0.1+dp0.7+pp1
  • The model uses SPY bars to estimate option prices, including commissions and slippage. Live option fills and broker exits differ. The estimates are not a forecast or a limit on losses.
  • The hindsight reference reprices favorable minute-bar extremes inside each recorded holding window at the central volatility assumption. It keeps the original entry and option contract, includes the actual exit as a candidate, and deducts the same trading costs. It is a new calculation, not the saved test’s share-price ceiling.
  • Day pass deducted per recorded session: $19.00
  • Recorded sessions: 4
  • Recorded one-minute bars by date: 2026-09-08: 390; 2026-09-09: 390; 2026-09-10: 379; 2026-09-11: 390

Questions

Short answers to what people ask first.

Does it trade real money?

Yes. It places real orders in your own Interactive Brokers account, which stays under your control.

Can I lose money?

Yes. An option can lose its full cost, and in a fast market the price can jump past a stop.

What if there's no trade that day?

It trades only when its signal lines up, and some days it never does. The unlocked day is still used.

Can I approve each trade?

Yes. By default each trade waits up to a minute for you to confirm it. Autopilot lets it trade on its own.

What does it trade?

SPY options that expire the same day, during US market hours only.

How do I unlock a day?

Open ORB Trader, enter the exact email you paid with on its backstage page, and press UNLOCK TODAY on a trading day. One day comes off your balance.

Is this investment advice?

No. ORB Trader is software. You decide whether and how to use it.
