Pinpoint the S&P 500 Close With This 30-Cent Strategy

by | Apr 17, 2026

🚨 I’ll be live with Roger at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday🚨

We’ll discuss how to analyze gamma exposure on the S&P 500 and target the price level the market is most likely to pin at the end of the session and more [tap to save your seat]!

 

Most people dismiss zero days to expiration (0DTE) trading as pure gambling.

And they couldn’t be more wrong.

When you understand how market makers hedge, it becomes a math problem with a massive edge.

The core of Bullseye Trades is a proprietary algorithm that analyzes gamma exposure on the S&P 500. At exactly 3 p.m. ET — one hour before the closing bell — the system processes the entire market structure and outputs a single number.

This is the price level the market is most likely to pin at the end of the session.

Nothing is guaranteed in trading, of course, but it is precise, repeatable and rooted in the mechanics of how market makers are forced to hedge their positions into the close.

And the accuracy so far has been astounding.

The Asymmetric Math of the Butterfly

When you can pinpoint the closing price, you can structure trades with massive risk-reward ratios. I mainly use a tight $1-wide butterfly centered on the predicted pin level.

This trade structure has so far allowed me to turn around 30 cents of risk into consistent profits. Even with a win rate of just 55% on the $1-wide butterflies, the math works because the big wins significantly outpace the small losses — which is the opposite of so many trading strategies where big losses wipe out small wins.

In some cases, we see profit potential over 400% — IF the market nails the pin.

This strategy requires a mindset shift. 

You cannot micromanage these positions. The moment you start tinkering with the trade intraday, fear creeps in. You might take a tiny profit or stop yourself out early and miss the real move.

Letting the trade play out is the only way to capture the asymmetry.

Proven Results From Recent Pin Targets

Over the past couple of weeks from March 31 to April 15, the algorithm has hit within a dollar of the target seven of 11 times.

And on March 31, we missed the pin by just only 34 cents. The following day, April 1, we were just 24 cents away. We’ve even seen sessions where the price closed within nine cents of the predicted level.

Here are the numbers so far using three different trades: $3-, $2- and $1-wide spreads. We will alert all three, but my personal focus is on the $1-wide, which has the best profit factor even though it has the worst win rate.

And that’s because the average wins so far have been 215%! 

When the target lands within a dollar more than 70% of the time, the wins can be so large they can outweigh the losses.

Just be aware that we won’t win every trade, as I’ve hopefully already made crystal clear — some setups still fail or hit full-loss outcomes, which is why position sizing and risk management matter.

But that’s also part of the beauty here: You can take these trades, especially the $1-wides, with very small upfront costs in small accounts, and scale into more contracts for bigger accounts.

Join Me This Saturday

I want to show you exactly how this algorithm works and how we’re using it to find these “gravitational” pin levels every single day.

Join Roger Scott and me at 11 a.m. ET on Saturday for a special event where we’ll dive into the mechanics of Bullseye Trades. We’lll discuss how gamma exposure creates predictable price behavior during the final hour of trading and how you can use these signals to your advantage.

The algorithm works because market makers hedge mechanically. It’s not about perfection or guessing. It’s about having a framework where the wins are so large they can outweigh the full-loss trades. When your target lands within a dollar more than 70% of the time, the edge is undeniable.

See you Saturday at 11 a.m. ET!
