What traders can learn
Today's session highlights the performance of the ema_pullback_continuation strategy, which was applied to three of the five setups ($QQQ, $SPY, and $IWM). This setup relies on multi-timeframe alignment: a supportive 15-minute trend, a 5-minute 21EMA pullback rejection, and a 1-minute pullback rejection.
The highest tracked peak of the day occurred on the $AMZN $275 PUT setup (+461%) using the premarket_high_low_reclaim strategy. However, traders must remember that tracked peaks represent the theoretical maximum move during the setup's duration and are not presented as achievable exits. Securing defined profits at +30% and +100% ensured booked gains across all five setups without experiencing any losses.

Methodology: Modeled P&L assumes one contract per setup. A setup that reached +50% is counted at +50%; otherwise a setup that reached +30% is counted at +30%; all other resolved outcomes use the recorded exit return. Tracked peak is hindsight context, not an assumed exit. Educational only, not financial advice.
