Strategy of the Week

Each week, one strategy from the roster, explained through what the market actually did to it — including the weeks it did nothing at all. Every strategy gets a turn, not just the ones having a good run.

Entry and exit logic isn't published here any more than it is on the roster. What these entries describe is the role a strategy plays, who is on the other side of it, and what it did or declined to do.

September 2026

Spike Short

What it does

Most weeks, Spike Short does nothing at all. That is the design. It exists for one rare event: a small stock that goes vertical in a single session on nothing durable, then gives most of it back.

Who pays it

Whoever buys the last stretch of that move — late momentum buyers, and short sellers being forced out at any price. They have to trade right now. The strategy doesn't.

What happened recently

After weeks of nothing, the market produced what it waits for and the strategy took positions. They are still open.

What it did not do

It did not call a top, and it has not booked anything. There is no result to report yet — only a strategy that finally had something to do.
