The framework

MARKET → STRUCTURE → SECTOR → STOCK → TRADE

Most products start at the stock. Sector Selector specializes in the sector layer — where relative strength is already concentrating — before a name or a strike is chosen.

The Sector Selector Score

Rules-based · Friday close

The Sector Selector Score is a rules-based 0–100 measure of sector leadership. It compares each major U.S. sector with the broad market and evaluates relative strength, trend health, and price location. Higher scores indicate stronger confirmed leadership; lower scores indicate lagging or weakening conditions. The model is recalculated after Friday’s close, while weekday updates explain changes without rewriting the weekly map.

How to read the board → /how-to-read/ · Every Friday map → /rankings/

Why sectors first?

Market → Sector → Stock

A stock sits inside a sector. If the sector is not leading, the name is swimming upstream. Rank the 11 SPDRs first. Then look inside the leader. Then structure the trade.

Exits are dated when premiums publish. We do not move them after the ticket is live. Leadership is the Friday map.

New vs experienced

Same card. Different next step.

New to options?

Follow first. Paper only.

Do not risk real money on this card. Add the sector to a watchlist, paper the structure, and learn the framework before a live debit.

Experienced options trader

Simulated trade history

Institutional traders often call this a trade blotter. Full track record →

Open tickets show the published limit, not a fill or a mark. Closed rows appear only after a real paper close. No win rate until twenty closed tickets. Every setup stays visible.

The rules do not move after the trade

If we change one, we date it. We do not backfill.

01

Rank

Leadership is the Friday map. We rank the 11 SPDR sectors after Friday’s close.

02

Location

Location can still skip a high score. A strong rank that fails location is not a ticket.

03

Structure

Defined-risk: long options (the debit is the max risk) and debit/credit spreads. Skip is first-class. No naked shorts. No 0DTE thesis.

04

Exit

Exits are dated on the card. We do not rewrite them after the ticket is live.

What would kill this. If eight weeks of paper cannot beat a coin flip after costs, the process is wrong, and we will say so. No P&L is claimed because none has been taken.

What this is

  • A weekly 11-sector map and a short paper blotter.
  • A free monthly defined-risk list. Email is the product door.
  • Simulated. Dated. Skip is a first-class state.

What this is not

  • A guru room, a webinar funnel, or a get-rich system.
  • A claim that 0DTE controls the market.
  • A signal service that changes the rules after a losing week.
