SPY remains in BEAR regime with Fear & Greed at 35 as Stoptions published 12 new setups at 9:45 AM ET. The highest-conviction picks were HALO (score 70/100, win prob 40%, entry $111.97), DOCS (67/100, 40%, $26.68), and RIOT (67/100, 40%, $24.03). DE followed at 65/100 with 40% win probability and entry $706.27. The middle tier included UNM (63/100, 26%, $94.51) and SMTC (55/100, 26%, $164.18). Lower-conviction entries rounded out the scan: AVT (53/100, 26%, $99.24), SMCI (49/100, 26%, $40.42), A (47/100, 18%, $165), AKAM (46/100, 18%, $117.61), BBY (45/100, 18%, $90.97), and AGCO (44/100, 18%, $121.01). In a bear market with subdued sentiment, the algo leaned toward lower win-probability setups in the 18–26% range, suggesting it was fishing for mean-reversion or volatility-crush opportunities rather than trend-following plays.

Running 365-Day Record
Over the trailing 12 months, Stoptions has closed 454 trades with a 33.3% win rate (expired contracts scored as losses). The profit factor stands at 1.56, meaning gross wins are 1.56× gross losses. Average return per trade is 11.3% with outliers capped at ±150%. Winners average +94.3% while losers average −30.1%. These figures reflect the full historical log without cherry-picking; live results are updated daily. The gap between average winner and average loser underscores the asymmetry the algorithm targets—larger wins on fewer trades offsetting more frequent small losses.
