Percentile zones · SPY & QQQ
Not a hunch about direction — a measured boundary. Six years of price history say where SPY and QQQ have and haven't reached. Then five years of real option chains say what it's actually worth to trade there.
The indicator draws the line. The book tells you what to do when price is near it. Five audited years say what that combination was worth.
Percentile zones built from each symbol's own price history, then graded against every session in the window — put side and call side, thirteen horizons deep.
The zones replayed against real one-minute option chains — real credits, real commissions, real stop fills. This is where the cards and playbooks come from.
Most traders guess where price is going. Direction is the hardest bet on the board, and the whole industry is built on selling you an opinion about it.
The shallowest of the three lines, so the richest credit — and the one the day actually has to earn before you take it.
Thinner premium, more cushion. When a morning turns stressed, this is the zone the day sends you to.
The deepest line the suite draws. Smallest credit on the board, and price is almost never there to meet it.
Every level the suite draws is built the same way and graded the same way. You are not choosing between systems — you are choosing how much credit to trade away for how much cushion, and the market conditions tell you which.
Pooled across all six years, same-day expiry, carried to the cash close. Each zone is a band rather than a single line — these figures come from selling its middle.
One bar per year for the 95% zone — the shallowest of the three, so the one price reaches most often. Calm years print high nineties; 2022 ground it down. That number stays on the page, because a system you can only trust in calm markets is not a system.
The full grids — every level at every strike placement across all thirteen horizons, both symbols, both sides — ship with membership. That is the map, and it stays inside.
Get the grids →A zone tells you where. A book tells you when, how much, and when to walk away. Each one was selected on a frozen window, priced from real one-minute quotes with every commission included, and shipped with the complete trade list — plus a Proven Wrong tab listing everything we tested and rejected.
Five books did not come out of an idea. They came out of a search — every plausible way to trade each zone, scored against five years of real quotes, then stress-tested against luck. Almost all of it lost. What is on the shelf is what was left.
The seat it takes, and every term of the rule it runs. Thresholds are the part you join for — everything else is on the page.
All records from a $50,000 start over a ~5.0-year window, sized at the book's headline dial. Backtested results are not a promise of the future.
The five books were selected on a window that ends 10 July 2026. Everything after that is genuinely out of sample — scored weekly, no re-fitting, no re-selection, wins and losses alike.
Every book is built by a script that has to pass a validation suite before the file is allowed to exist. There is no flag to skip it — on failure the report is deleted from disk.
Every figure on the page is re-derived from that book's own trade ledger at build time. A number typed by hand is a number that drifts.
Spans, annual returns and chart markers come from the ledger's first and last trade — never a constant typed by hand.
Buy-and-hold is recomputed from the raw data lake on every build, not carried forward between reports.
If the engine records an outcome, the page must name it — including the profitable protocol closes a naive loss filter would hide.
The report's own JavaScript is executed headlessly before it ships. Reading proves nothing — a page can read perfectly and still be broken.
The ledger has to hold together to the penny, and the most profitable card gets simulated ten thousand ways.
Never type a number you can derive. Never believe a number you have not executed.
