Days with bid exits: 150 · days with intrinsic valuations: 66.

Retrospective selection. The rule was selected after part of 2026 was inspected, so this history is not an independent forward test. In the one-contract variant, 24 June 2026 contributed +$746.70 of the total +$817.15 .

On 24 June alone, the daily P&L of +$4,525.50 includes $4,529.40 of theoretical value on unsold contracts.

Full method, data period and source limitations

At 15:45 New York, the original modes select the nearest strictly out-of-the-money QQQ 0DTE CALL. The paired mode selects both the nearest OTM CALL and PUT, reserves half of the new daily budget for each including entry fees, and skips a day if either leg cannot be purchased. No unused half is reassigned. Each option is modeled at its displayed ask.

The original CALL-only modes keep their 5× bid target through 16:10 and fallback exit rules. The paired mode has no early profit-taking: it holds both legs to the selected New York exit time (16:10). Before 16:15 it uses the bid at that time, or the first later valid bid before 16:15; any unsold contracts are marked at intrinsic value at 16:15. From 16:15 through 17:20 it values both legs at intrinsic value using QQQ at the selected time, not an executable option bid or confirmed sale. The model charges $0.65 per contract on entry and quoted exit. For an intrinsic mark, it deducts an assumed $0.65 per contract only if the gross mark per contract exceeds that fee; otherwise net value is $0 and no fee is charged. The paired curve starts at $0 and accumulates daily P&L; it is not a funded account balance.

This report freezes 2026-01-02 — 2026-09-21 to match the earlier one-contract result of +$817.15 . A separate check for 22 Sep 2026 gave −$14.30 for one contract; that day is outside these charts and totals.

Ask and bid sizes describe displayed quotes; they do not confirm any broker fill for the full model quantity. A quoted bid exit is a price proxy. Intrinsic value at the shown exit time or 16:15 is a model valuation, not an option sale.

  • The $1,000/day result includes $53956.09 of modeled intrinsic proceeds. Valuing every unsold remainder at zero gives $-54761.25 P&L.
  • Entry uses the 15:45 ask; quoted exits are modeled from bids, without broker fill records.
  • Position size is capped by displayed ask_size. A quoted sale is capped by bid_size at the exit instant.
  • Displayed depth does not model order queues, hidden liquidity, slippage, or market impact. Capped quote sales remain modeled fills.
  • Remaining contracts are marked at QQQ intrinsic value at 16:15; that is not an observed sale.
  • A $0.65 fee is charged per contract on purchase and quoted sale; a zero intrinsic mark has no exit fee.
  • Positive intrinsic value includes an assumed $0.65 monetization fee; no executed sale is documented.
  • The $1,000-per-day mode shows cumulative P&L with a fresh daily cap, not the balance of an account starting with $1,000.
  • Minimum reserve is the modeled starting cash needed to fund every purchase in this path without top-ups.
  • Intrinsic value uses microdollars per share; each day's result is settled to cents before carrying the account forward.
