Whalor Setup Recap: August 6, 2026
6 resolved options setups, 4 profitable outcomes, 67% win rate, and the complete contract-by-contract receipts.
What happened
On August 6, 2026, Whalor resolved 6 setups, securing 4 profitable outcomes and 2 losses for a 66.7% win rate. The modeled one-contract P&L finished at +$35, with an average tracked peak of +90.2% across all setups.
Two setups achieved a +100% return: the $SPY $769 PUT (using a premarket_high_low_reclaim setup, which reached a tracked peak of +110%) and the $IWM $300 PUT (an ema_pullback_continuation setup, which reached a tracked peak of +251%). The other profitable setups were the $NOW $115 PUT, returning +50% (tracked peak of +95%), and the $QQQ $716 CALL, returning +30% (tracked peak of +32%).
The session's two losses both resulted in -65% stop-outs. The $SPCX $104 PUT (opening_range_breakout_retest) stopped out after reaching a tracked peak of +27%, and the $IWM $301 CALL (failed_breakout_breakdown_trap) stopped out after reaching a tracked peak of +26%.
What traders can learn
Analyzing today's data highlights the variance inherent in identical setups. The failed_breakout_breakdown_trap strategy was deployed three times today with differing results: the $NOW PUT and $QQQ CALL setups yielded gains of +50% and +30% respectively, while the $IWM CALL setup resulted in a -65% loss.
Additionally, the data underscores the gap between peak potential and systematic execution. For instance, the $IWM $300 PUT reached a tracked peak of +251%, but the modeled return was locked in at +100% based on defined profit-taking rules. Conversely, both stopped-out trades ($SPCX and $IWM CALL) showed positive tracked peaks (+27% and +26%) before reversing. This emphasizes that tracked peaks are not achievable exits, but rather reference points that demonstrate the necessity of disciplined stop-loss management when setups fail to sustain momentum.

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.
