Morning Scan: 12 Setups in a Bear Regime
The algo published 12 new setups at 9:45 AM ET into a BEAR market regime with Fear & Greed at 29. SNDK and TWLO led the board at 76/100 each, both with 40% win probability and entry prices of $1825.68 and $246 respectively. MARA posted the highest score at 80/100 but carried a lower 28% win probability and tighter risk geometry (entry $13.93, stop $12.97, target $15.04). The middle tier included REXR (70/100, 40% prob), DBX (67/100, 40% prob), and SMCI (65/100, 26% prob). Lower-conviction picks rounded out the scan: ISRG, AVT, AVTR, ILMN, AAPL, and UNM, ranging from 63 down to 49 on the scoring scale. Most carried 26% or 40% win probabilities—a spread reflecting the algorithm's differentiation between higher-conviction and exploratory setups.

Running Track Record: 454 Trades, 33.3% Win Rate
Over the trailing 365 days, the system has closed 454 trades with a 33.3% win rate (expired contracts counted as losses) and a profit factor of 1.56. Average return per trade stands at 11.3%, with outliers capped at ±150%. Winners average +94.3% and losers average −30.1%, reflecting the asymmetric payoff structure typical of options scanning. These numbers include all outcomes—no cherry-picking, no survivorship bias. The bear regime and depressed fear gauge (29) set a cautious tone for new setups, but the algo continues to surface opportunities across both high-conviction and exploratory buckets.
