Same-day options are like weather insurance that expires tonight. We sell that insurance, keep the premium, and cap our loss with a hard fence — so one stormy afternoon can never wipe out a month of small wins.
Idea
Design & priors
Forward paper
Live
No backtest here: minute-by-minute option history doesn't exist to buy, so we prove this one forward, in the open, from day one.
How we test a System
- Idea. We write the rules down and freeze them before any test runs.
- Design & priors. Intraday option history can’t be bought, so instead of a backtest we pre-register our reasoning, in the open.
- Forward paper. We trade it live with fake money for weeks, before any real capital.
- Live. Real money — only after everything above has passed.
