<article class="condor-nest-post">
<p class="lead">When a friend of mine told me he was going through the Condor Nest training, I was curious how quickly he'd actually be able to put it to work. Options strategies can be notoriously hard to learn in theory and even harder to execute in real market conditions.</p>
<p>He put his first trade on yesterday. Made $300 in one day.</p>
<p>When I asked him what he liked most about it, his answer was simple: <strong>&#8220;It has defined rules.&#8221;</strong> No guessing. No staring at charts wondering what to do next. Just a clear process that tells you exactly where you are and what your next move is.</p>
<p>That tracks with everything I've seen from the students trading it.</p>
<hr class="my-4" />
<h2>What Is the Condor Nest?</h2>
<p>The Condor Nest is a professional options trading method developed by Tomas Byron — a career trader with 35+ years of experience — and taught here at Aeromir. It's built around one core idea: <strong>stop hoping the market cooperates, and start trading a structure that puts you in control regardless of what it does.</strong></p>
<p>Most iron condor traders know the pain. You put on a position, collect a little premium, and then spend the next several days white-knuckling every market move. One bad session can erase weeks of gains. The margin is tied up, your capital is stuck, and your only real tool is hoping price stays inside your tent.</p>
<p>The Condor Nest approaches this differently.</p>
<hr class="my-4" />
<h2>How It Works</h2>
<p>The method unfolds in two phases:</p>
<div class="card mb-3 border-0 bg-body-secondary">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-1 me-2 text-primary"></i>Phase 1 — The Time Spread</h5>
<p class="card-text mb-0">Instead of starting with an iron condor, you open a calendar or double calendar spread. This structure generates real theta decay from day one while keeping your initial risk small. Delta and gamma stay relatively flat, so moderate market moves don't immediately put you underwater.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card mb-4 border-0 bg-body-secondary">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-2 me-2 text-primary"></i>Phase 2 — The Conversion</h5>
<p class="card-text">When conditions align, you convert the time spread into what Thomas calls a <strong>risk-free iron condor</strong> — a position where enough premium has already been collected that your worst-case outcome is simply making <em>less than your maximum profit</em>. Catastrophic losses are removed from the equation.</p>
<p class="card-text mb-0">After conversion, your broker's margin requirement can drop by 90% or more. That capital is yours again — free to deploy in a new position, buy T-bills, or just sit in cash. Either way, <strong>you are no longer at the market's mercy.</strong></p>
</div>
</div>
<hr class="my-4" />
<h2>Three Speeds to Match Your Life</h2>
<p>One thing that makes this method practical for real traders is the flexibility in how actively you manage it. There are three built-in template setups:</p>
<div class="table-responsive mb-4">
<table class="table table-bordered align-middle">
<thead class="table-dark">
<tr>
<th>Template</th>
<th>Timeframe</th>
<th>Style</th>
<th>Best For</th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><strong>Condor Nest 0</strong></td>
<td>Same week (Mon–Fri)</td>
<td>Fast theta, active management</td>
<td>Experienced traders, active monitors</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Condor Nest 7</strong></td>
<td>One week forward</td>
<td>Moderate pace</td>
<td>Most traders — solid middle ground</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><strong>Condor Nest 14</strong></td>
<td>Two weeks forward</td>
<td>Slower, more forgiving</td>
<td>New students — check in once a day</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>
<p>Thomas recommends new students start with the 14. Learn the mechanics at slow speed first. Get the rules in your hands before you put your foot on the gas.</p>
<hr class="my-4" />
<h2>Real Results from Real Students</h2>
<p>The course has over 100 students — spread across the U.S., Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Japan — ranging from complete beginners who've never traded an option to professional fund managers.</p>
<p>My friend who just started? <strong>$300 his first day.</strong> And more importantly, he knew <em>why</em> he was making the trade and <em>what he would do next</em> at every step of the way. That's what defined rules give you.</p>
<p>Other students have shared results in the private Discord community that range from steady, consistent profits on the slower templates to some jaw-dropping pinning scenarios on the faster ones — where the market expires almost exactly at the center of the structure for maximum payout.</p>
<p>Here are two recent examples from real student trades:</p>
<div class="row g-3 my-3">
<div class="col-md-6"><img decoding="async" class="img-fluid rounded shadow-sm" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/f1.aeromir.com/2/2026/03/condornest-student-example-1.png" alt="Student Trade Example 1" /></div>

</div>
<hr class="my-4" />
<h2>What's Included</h2>
<div class="row g-3 mb-4">
<div class="col-md-6">
<ul class="list-unstyled" style="list-style: none;">
<li class="mb-2"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-check text-success me-2"></i>4 recorded classes (~2.5 hours each)</li>
<li class="mb-2"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-check text-success me-2"></i>Step-by-step trade checklists</li>
<li class="mb-2"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-check text-success me-2"></i>Three fully documented trade templates</li>
<li class="mb-2"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-check text-success me-2"></i>GOAT Spreadsheet for thinkorswim orders</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="col-md-6">
<ul class="list-unstyled" style="list-style: none;">
<li class="mb-2"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-check text-success me-2"></i>IBKR Basket Trader order templates</li>

<li class="mb-2"><i class="fa-solid fa-circle-check text-success me-2"></i>Ongoing live sessions and updates</li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<p>There's also a full deep-dive section covering Black-Scholes, volatility risk premium, and statistical distribution for those who want to understand exactly what's happening under the hood. It's not required to trade the method — but it's there if you want it.</p>
<hr class="my-4" />
<h2>Is It Right for You?</h2>
<p>If you've been frustrated by iron condors that work great on paper but blow up in practice, or you're tired of strategies with fuzzy rules that leave you guessing under pressure — this is worth a serious look.</p>
<p>The defined rules aren't a gimmick. They're the whole point. You always know what your risk is, what your next move is, and how to get out cleanly if you need to.</p>
<p>My friend figured that out on day one.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">You ran a backtest. The equity curve goes up. The profit factor is above 1. You're ready to trade it live, right?</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Not so fast. A positive backtest is the <em>beginning</em> of the evaluation process, not the end. Most strategies with good-looking results are the product of curve fitting, optimization bias, or market conditions that won't repeat. And the standard metrics — net profit, win rate, profit factor — can't tell you the difference.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is Part 2 of our NinjaTrader backtesting series. <a class="underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current" href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://futures.aeromir.com/post/111/ninjatrader-backtesting-explained-which-method-should-you-trust">Part 1</a> covered <em>how</em> to generate backtest results. This article tackles the harder question: <strong>how do you know if those results actually mean anything?</strong></p>
<hr class="border-border-200 border-t-0.5 my-3 mx-1.5" />
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Why Standard Metrics Fail</h2>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">A strategy showing $30,000 in profit with a 67% win rate and a 1.25 profit factor could be either of these:</p>
<ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A robust edge that will continue performing in live trading, or</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">A curve-fit artifact that happened to look good on historical data but has zero predictive value going forward.</li>
</ul>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Net profit, win rate, and profit factor can't distinguish between the two. You need deeper analysis. The full article walks through every metric using two real strategies — one that scores 100/100 on robustness, and one that scores 0/100.</p>
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">A Preview: The Curve-Fit Killer</h2>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">One of the most powerful tests is deceptively simple: <strong>split your backtest in half and compare the two halves.</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">A robust strategy should perform reasonably well in <em>both</em> halves. If only the second half is profitable, that's the classic curve-fit signature — the parameters were optimized on recent data and the &#8220;backtest&#8221; is really just showing you the optimization period.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Here's the question that makes this test devastating: <strong>&#8220;If you'd gone live at the halfway point, would you have stayed live?&#8221;</strong></p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Strategy A</strong> (100/100 robustness): First half PF 1.32, second half PF 1.27. Midpoint equity: +$17,993. You'd have stayed live. ✓</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]"><strong>Strategy B</strong> (0/100 robustness): First half PF 0.93, second half PF 1.80. Midpoint equity: -$29,301. You'd have pulled the plug. ✗</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Strategy B has twice as many trades as Strategy A. More data should mean <em>more</em> confidence — but volume without edge is meaningless. Strategy B traded 7,203 times and still couldn't produce a statistically significant positive expectancy (p = 0.715). A coin flip with a commission would produce similar results.</p>
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Read the Full Analysis</h2>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The complete article covers every metric in the robustness framework with side-by-side comparisons:</p>
<ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">There's a claim circulating in the NinjaTrader community that Strategy Analyzer backtests &#8220;can't be trusted&#8221; and that Market Replay is the only valid way to test a strategy. It sounds reasonable on the surface — Market Replay uses real tick data, so it must be more accurate, right?</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Not exactly. And if you're making strategy decisions based on this belief, you might be using the wrong tool for the job.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">I wrote a detailed breakdown of how NinjaTrader's testing methods actually work, when each one is appropriate, and why Strategy Analyzer is actually <em>more</em> reliable than Market Replay for most trading strategies — not less.</p>

</div>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Yes — Strategy Analyzer ranks <em>above</em> Market Replay. That's intentional, and the article explains exactly why.</p>
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">The OHLC Ambiguity Problem (And When It Doesn't Matter)</h2>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The main argument against Strategy Analyzer is that it doesn't know the intra-bar tick sequence within each candle. It only sees Open, High, Low, Close — so it has to guess which came first, the high or the low.</p>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">This is a real limitation. But it only matters under specific conditions:</p>
<ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">Your strategy uses <strong>OnEachTick</strong> or <strong>OnPriceChange</strong> calculation mode</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You're using <strong>limit orders</strong> or <strong>tight stop losses</strong> that could trigger at the high or low of a bar</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2">You're trading on <strong>very small timeframes</strong> (1-minute or less) where intra-bar sequence matters</li>
</ul>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">If your strategy uses <strong>OnBarClose</strong> calculation on 5-minute or larger bars with <strong>market orders</strong>, the OHLC ambiguity is essentially irrelevant. The entry and exit prices are determined by bar closes — which are exact values, not estimates.</p>
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Why Market Replay Isn't the Gold Standard</h2>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">Market Replay has its own serious limitations that rarely get discussed:</p>
<ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Speed problem</strong> — Running Market Replay at realistic speed makes statistical analysis impractical. Testing one year of data takes&#8230; one year.</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>High-speed decimation</strong> — Running at 10x or faster strips out 80-90% of ticks, destroying the precision that was supposed to be the whole point.</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>Market impact</strong> — The historical tick stream doesn't include your orders. Your fills would have changed the order book.</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words pl-2"><strong>n=1</strong> — Market Replay gives you exactly one data point. Strategy Analyzer gives you thousands of trades across years of varying conditions.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="text-text-100 mt-3 -mb-1 text-[1.125rem] font-bold">Read the Full Analysis</h2>
<p class="font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]">The complete article covers:</p>
<ul class="[li_&]:mb-0 [li_&]:mt-1 [li_&]:gap-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3">

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you trade more than one futures instrument &mdash; or you&#39;re thinking about it &mdash; correlation is one of the most important concepts you need to understand. It affects everything from risk management to position sizing to whether you&#39;re actually diversified or just doubling down on the same bet.</p>
<p>I built a <a href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://futures.aeromir.com/correlator">Futures Correlation Tool</a> to analyze these relationships across any timeframe using years of historical data. What the data reveals might surprise you &mdash; even if you&#39;ve been trading for years.</p>
<hr>
<h2>What Is Correlation and Why Should You Care?</h2>
<p>Correlation measures how closely two instruments move together on a scale from -1.0 to +1.0. A correlation of +1.0 means two instruments move in perfect lockstep. A correlation of -1.0 means they move in exactly opposite directions. A correlation near 0 means there&#39;s no meaningful relationship at all.</p>
<p><strong>If you&#39;re trading two highly correlated instruments, you might think you&#39;re diversified &mdash; but you&#39;re not.</strong> You&#39;re essentially doubling your exposure to the same move. If ES drops hard and you&#39;re also long NQ, you&#39;ve got two losing positions, not a hedge.</p>
<hr>
<h2>The Equity Index Illusion: &quot;Everything Moves Together&quot;</h2>
<p>Most traders assume the four major U.S. equity index futures &mdash; ES, NQ, YM, and RTY &mdash; all move together. They&#39;re partially right, but the degree of correlation varies a lot more than you&#39;d expect.</p>
<p>Using 5-minute bars over six years of Regular Trading Hours (RTH) data:</p>

<p><strong>YM/ES is actually the tightest pair</strong> &mdash; not NQ/ES as many traders assume. And RTY/NQ at 0.7482 is the weakest, meaning small caps and tech-heavy large caps really do march to different drums.</p>
<p>But this is just the beginning. The full analysis digs into how correlation changes across timeframes, what happens when you step outside equities into crude oil, gold, and currencies, and why the bond/equity relationship is one of the most dangerous assumptions traders make.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I've traded more iron condors than I care to count. Thirty days to expiration, weekly, even same-day 0 DTE trades. The iron condor looks attractive on paper. High win rate. Defined risk. Collect premium and wait.</p>
<p>Here's the problem nobody talks about until it happens to them.</p>
<p>You win 90% of the time. Feels great. Then that 10% loss shows up and wipes out months of accumulated profits. Sometimes more. The reward-to-risk ratio on traditional iron condors is, frankly, horrible. And the whole time you're in the trade, your capital is locked up in margin while you hope the market cooperates.</p>
<p>Hope is not a trading strategy. I learned that the hard way.</p>
<h2>How Professional Traders Actually Think About Risk</h2>
<p>Years ago, I took an advanced Optionetics class taught by George Fontanills. George was a retired hedge fund manager and co-founder of Optionetics. Brilliant guy. During that class, he said something that stuck with me:</p>
<p><em>&#8220;When someone presented a new trading idea to me, the first question I asked was how much can I lose?&#8221;</em></p>
<p>Not how much can I make. How much can I lose.</p>
<p>That's the professional mindset. Retail traders obsess over profit potential. Professionals obsess over risk. They think about the exit before they think about the entry. They want to know exactly what happens when things go wrong, not just when things go right.</p>
<p>This is why I've been working with Tomas Byron for several years now. His options knowledge is extensive. I've been in this industry for over 17 years, and his ATM Weekly Options Workshop is the most in-depth options workshop I've seen. Tomas has been a professional trader for decades, and it shows in how he approaches every single trade.</p>
<h2>The Condor Nest: A Different Way to Trade SPX Options</h2>
<p>The Condor Nest strategy doesn't start as an iron condor. That's the key difference.</p>
<p>You begin with a time spread structure that generates theta from day one. The position is flexible. You can adjust it. You're not locked into hoping the market stays in your range. Then, when conditions are right, you convert the position into an iron condor.</p>
<p>But here's where it gets interesting. By the time you make that conversion, you've already captured enough profit that the resulting iron condor is essentially risk-free. Your worst case scenario? You make less money than your best case. You don't give back months of gains in a single bad trade.</p>
<p>The philosophy is simple: open a trade, hedge off the risk as soon as you can lock in profit, and remove the possibility of a catastrophic loss. That massive drawdown that traditional iron condor traders eventually experience? It doesn't happen with this approach.</p>
<h2>Capital Recycling: Using the Same Money Multiple Times</h2>
<p>One aspect of the Condor Nest strategy that really impressed me is the capital recycling component.</p>
<p>Think about traditional options spreads. You put up $2,000 or $3,000 in margin. That capital is tied up until the trade closes. You're sitting there waiting, watching, hoping things work out while your money does nothing else.</p>
<p>With the Condor Nest approach, something different happens. You might use $1,000 to $3,000 to open your initial time spread position. But after you adjust and convert the trade into a risk-free iron condor, the margin requirement drops to near zero. Sometimes actually zero.</p>
<p><iframe title="Zero-Risk Options Trading? The Condor Nest Strategy Explained" width="1080" height="608" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wrpRZTYgWN4?feature=oembed"  allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<p>That original capital is now free. You can use it to open another position. The same $2,000 that funded your first trade can now fund a second trade while the first one is still working. Do this a few times and you're running multiple positions with capital you would have had locked up in a single traditional iron condor.</p>
<p>This is how professional traders think about capital efficiency. Your money should be working, not waiting.</p>
<h2>Typical Trade</h2>
<h4>Opening Trade</h4>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/i.aeromir.com/blog/2026/01/Condor-Nest-Trade-Example-Open.png" title="Condor Nest Opening Trade" alt="Condor Nest Opening Trade showing initial time spread position" /></p>
<p><em>Initial time spread position with defined risk on the wings. Notice the curved P/L profile &#8211; you have exposure if the market moves sharply in either direction.</em></p>
<h4>Final Position</h4>
<p><img decoding="async" src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/i.aeromir.com/blog/2026/01/Condor-Nest-Trade-Example-Final.png" title="Condor Nest Final Position" alt="Condor Nest final position showing risk-free iron condor" /></p>
<p><em>After adjustment &#8211; notice the flat P/L line across the entire range. Risk is eliminated while profit potential remains. Your margin requirement drops to near zero.</em></p>
<h2>What's Inside the Workshop</h2>
<p>The ATM Condor Nest Options Workshop is a recorded course that covers the complete strategy from start to finish. Tomas walks through exactly how to implement these trades on SPX options, including entry criteria, adjustment triggers, and the specific steps to convert your position into a risk-free iron condor.</p>
<p>The workshop includes four main classes covering everything from volatility risk premium concepts to practical trade execution. There are quizzes to test your understanding, time spread modules that go deep on calendar and diagonal structures, and lessons on topics like VIX correlation and forward testing.</p>
<p>Students also get access to the GOAT spreadsheet, which I built specifically for managing these types of options positions. It handles order creation for both Interactive Brokers and ThinkorSwim, tracks your Greeks, and lets you copy orders directly into your trading platform with one click. The basket trader integration alone saves a ton of time when you're managing multiple positions.</p>
<p>All the strategies are IRA compatible, use defined risk, and work with daily expiration SPX options for maximum flexibility. The profit targets run between 5% and 20% of the debit paid to open the position, and most trades close the same day they're opened.</p>
<h2>Is This Right for You?</h2>
<p>If you're an intermediate or advanced options trader frustrated with traditional iron condor results, this is worth looking at. If you've ever had a single loss wipe out months of careful trading, you understand the problem this solves.</p>
<p>Students are getting solid results with this approach. The structured methodology takes the guesswork out of adjustments and gives you a clear plan for every scenario.</p>
<p>The workshop is $599 and includes lifetime access to all the recorded material, tools, and ongoing updates.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amy and I have known each other for over 15 years, so when she told me she was bringing the TimeZone strategy to Aeromir, I was genuinely excited. This isn't some brand new, untested approach &#8211; Amy originally launched TimeZone back in 2019 with another firm, and it quickly became one of her most popular strategies. Now it's getting a complete refresh for today's markets, and I'm honored to host it here.</p>
<p>If you're already familiar with Amy's work &#8211; maybe you're trading the <a href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://aeromir.com/a14">A14</a> or took her <a href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://aeromir.com/timeedge">TimeEdge workshop</a> &#8211; you know she doesn't release strategies lightly. Everything she teaches has been thoroughly tested across different market environments. The TimeZone is another arrow in the quiver, and it's a sharp one.</p>
<h2>What Makes <a style="color: blue;" href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://aeromir.com/timezone">TimeZone</a> Different</h2>
<p>Here's something that caught my attention during Amy's presentation: this strategy combines positive theta and positive Vega. That's rare. Most income strategies bleed when volatility spikes, but TimeZone actually benefits from it. Amy walked through the 2020 market crash in detail &#8211; you know, those limit-down days that made everyone's stomach churn &#8211; and the strategy held an 80% win rate during that chaos.</p>
<p>The structure itself is straightforward for anyone who understands time spreads. It's a calendar combined with a credit spread, set up as a market-neutral weekly trade. Average hold time is about five days. You're in and out before the market mood has time to completely shift against you.</p>
<p>What I appreciate about this approach is the flexibility. You can trade it once a month and stay out of the market 75% of the time. Or trade it every other week. Or if you want more activity, put on a position weekly. The strategy adapts to your style and schedule, which matters when you're trying to build something sustainable.</p>
<h2>Watch Amy's Full Presentation</h2>
<p>Last week, Amy walked through the complete TimeZone strategy in detail. She covered the performance results, showed actual trade examples from different market conditions, and answered questions from students. If you want to see exactly what this strategy looks like in action, the full presentation is worth watching:</p>

<p>You can <a href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://aeromir.com/timezoneslides" target="_blank" rel="noopener">download the presentation slides</a> to review the performance data and examples at your own pace.</p>

<h2>The Performance Numbers Tell the Story</h2>
<p>Amy showed nearly a decade of backtesting, and I wasn't surprised by the results. She's taught quite a few strategies over the years, and they've all been excellent. But it's still impressive to see the consistency.</p>
<p>From 2016 through 2019, trading just one week per month delivered a 75% win rate. During the 2020 crash and recovery &#8211; trading every week in March to really stress-test it &#8211; the strategy notched three wins and one loss that month, ending with a net profit despite the chaos. For 2025 year-to-date through August, trading every single week produced an 80% win rate with over 100% returns in eight months. Average profit per trade on a two-lot position runs around $400.</p>
<p>The equity curve Amy showed was remarkably smooth. No massive drawdowns that wipe out months of gains. Just steady, consistent growth across bull markets, bear markets, and everything in between.</p>
<h2>How TimeZone and TimeEdge Fit Together</h2>
<p>If you're wondering about the difference between TimeZone and TimeEdge, here's how I see it: TimeEdge is simple and structured with very specific rules. One calendar entry, one max adjustment, clear guidelines. It's perfect if you want something straightforward that doesn't require much monitoring.</p>
<p>TimeZone is more robust. It has more adjustment options, more flexibility, more control. It's for traders who want to be a bit more proactive with their positions. Amy keeps the adjustments simple &#8211; she typically uses just two or three tactics &#8211; but you have options when the market moves against you.</p>
<p>Both strategies use time spreads as their foundation, so if you've already taken TimeEdge, this workshop builds naturally on those concepts. You'll learn additional techniques that you can apply to TimeEdge trades as well. It's not either/or &#8211; they complement each other nicely.</p>
<h2>Who Should Take This Workshop</h2>
<p>Let me be direct about this: you should be familiar with basic vertical spreads and time spreads before jumping into TimeZone. This isn't for people just discovering options trading. You need a solid understanding of option Greeks and some real experience putting trades on. If you're still learning what delta and theta mean, start there first.</p>
<p>But if you've got that foundation and you're looking for a weekly income strategy that doesn't chain you to your screen, this could be exactly what you need. It's particularly good for traders who want more control over their positions than a strict rules-based approach offers.</p>
<p>When I was teaching Air Force pilots how to fly, I had my own methods of accomplishing things, and other instructors had theirs. The students had to take what worked for them from me and my fellow instructors and build their own basket of techniques. It's the same for any complex skill, including trading. This workshop gives you another set of techniques and ideas you can use alone or in combination with other trades.</p>
<p>Even if you're already trading the A14 or other strategies successfully, it's always good to have more techniques in your basket. You can combine these approaches with other trades too &#8211; it's not only for time spreads. Amy herself primarily trades the A14, but she puts TimeZone trades on in her own account as well.</p>
<h2>What You'll Learn</h2>
<p>Amy structured this workshop to be comprehensive without overwhelming you. The first class covers the core strategy and why it works, including important details about term structure differences between the Russell 2000 and SPX. That's valuable information even if you never trade TimeZone &#8211; understanding how volatility behaves differently across indices helps with any calendar-based strategy.</p>
<p>Then she walks through entry rules, multiple adjustment options (again, kept simple), and exit management. You'll see step-by-step trade examples across bullish, bearish, and choppy markets. Amy doesn't just show you the winners &#8211; she breaks down losing trades too, so you understand what didn't work and why.</p>
<p>The workshop includes Q&A sessions after each class, a tips and tricks session covering time-saving techniques, access to a private community where you can connect with other traders, and a bonus Q&A scheduled 30-60 days after the live sessions. That delayed Q&A is smart &#8211; it gives you time to absorb the material and come back with real questions from actually working with the strategy.</p>
<p>Everything gets recorded, so if you can't make the live sessions, you won't miss anything. Though I always recommend showing up live if you can &#8211; that's when you get your specific questions answered.</p>
<h2>Workshop Details and Pricing</h2>
<p>The first class starts Thursday, October 9th at 4:30 PM Eastern &#8211; right after the market closes. Amy's offering special launch pricing at $497, which saves you $200 off the regular price. If you want both TimeEdge and TimeZone together, the bundle runs $997, saving you about $400.</p>
<p>All sessions will be recorded and available if you can't attend live. You'll also get access to the private community and historical trade logs showing all the backtesting Amy discussed in her presentation.</p>
<h2>Ready to Add TimeZone to Your Trading Arsenal?</h2>
<p>I've watched Amy develop and refine strategies for over 15 years. The TimeZone strategy has a proven track record across nearly a decade of different market conditions. Whether you're looking to diversify beyond the A14, build on what you learned in TimeEdge, or add a market-neutral weekly income strategy to your approach, this workshop delivers the complete framework.</p>
<p>If you're wondering whether this course is worthwhile, consider that it's always good to have more techniques in your basket to use when you need them. You never know when a particular approach will be exactly what the current market environment calls for.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Let's be blunt: prop firm trading looks like easy money from the outside. Get funded with someone else's capital, make some trades, split the profits. What could go wrong?</p>
<p>Well, everything. And I mean everything.</p>
<p>Here's the brutal math: <strong>only 22% of traders even make it past Phase 1</strong>. That's not a typo. Nearly 8 out of 10 people fail before they've barely started. And those lucky few who pass? Most of them never see a real payout either.</p>
<p><a href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WWulQ4Mi0fM">Arjo, an ex-prop firm owner, has the data and shared it with us</a>. The patterns are so consistent it's almost funny. (Okay, it's not funny if you're one of the 78% not passing your evaluation accounts.) The same mistakes show up again and again, like a broken record of bad decisions.</p>
<h2>The Recipe for Disaster (That Everyone Follows)</h2>
<p>After looking at thousands of failed accounts, Arjo showed exactly how traders blow up their challenges. It's like watching the same movie over and over.</p>
<h3>They Can't Handle Basic Risk Management</h3>
<p>About half of failed traders—<strong>literally 50%</strong>—don't use stop losses consistently. Think about that for a second. They're trading with real money (even if it's not technically theirs) and they're just&#8230; hoping things work out?</p>
<p>It's like driving without a seatbelt because you're &#8220;pretty sure&#8221; you won't crash today.</p>
<p>The scalpers have an even harder time. Don't get me wrong, scalping can work, but many treat trading like they're in Vegas. They're so focused on grabbing quick profits that they completely ignore their daily loss limits. I've seen accounts blow up in minutes because someone thought they could scalp their way out of a hole.</p>
<p>Then there's the lot size thing. Most failing traders pick a number—let's say 1-lot. They stick with it no matter what. Market's going crazy? 1-lot. Perfect setup with a tight stop? 1-lot. It makes no sense. <strong>Your position size should match your stop loss, not your comfort zone.</strong></p>
<p>But here's the real kicker: their risk-reward ratios are backwards. We're talking <strong>0.56 to 0.97</strong>, which means they're risking a dollar to maybe make 60 cents. You'd need to be right 80% of the time just to break even, and nobody's that good consistently.</p>
<p><strong>Successful prop firm traders average 2.5 to 3.0 reward-to-risk ratios!</strong></p>
<p>We have a tool to show you what reward-to-risk ratio you need given a win percent. <a href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://futures.aeromir.com/go/c.reward-risk">See our Reward to Risk calculator</a>.</p>
<h3>They Trade Like They're Playing Whack-a-Mole</h3>
<p>The overtrading is insane. <strong>Failed traders average 7-9 trades per day.</strong> That's not strategy, that's addiction. They can't sit still. Every little price movement looks like an opportunity.</p>
<p>I get it, though. When you're staring at charts all day, doing nothing feels wrong. But successful trading is mostly waiting. The market doesn't care about your boredom.</p>
<p>About 70% of failed traders call themselves scalpers, which tells you something. Real scalping requires surgical precision and ice-cold discipline. What most people are doing isn't scalping—it's panic trading with a fancy name.</p>
<p><strong>And the timeline? Most blown accounts last 5-7 days. A week.</strong> That's how long it takes to destroy months of preparation and dreams.</p>
<h3>The News Trading Nightmare</h3>
<p>Traders see a big news event coming like FOMC, GDP, CPI, etc., and they think &#8220;This is my moment!&#8221; They jump in right as the news hits, usually trading Gold or Nasdaq because those move the most.</p>
<p>What actually happens? They get steamrolled by slippage, volatility, and market makers who've been doing this for decades. <strong>It's like showing up to a gunfight with a water balloon.</strong></p>
<h2>The Hard Truth</h2>
<p>I'm not trying to scare anyone away from prop trading. But these numbers don't lie. The vast majority of people fail, and they fail in predictable ways.</p>
<p><strong>The good news? If you can avoid these obvious traps, you're already ahead of 78% of the competition.</strong> It's not about being a market genius—it's about not being stupid with risk.</p>
<p>In my next post, I'll show you what the winners actually do differently. Spoiler alert: it's a lot more boring than you think, and that's exactly why it works.</p>

</ul>
<h3 class="text-lg font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-1.5">Impressive Performance Numbers</h3>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Amy's backtesting from January 2022 through May 2025 shows remarkable consistency:</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Minimal Margin Method:</strong></p>
<ul class="[&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">83% win rate (60 winners out of 72 trades)</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">98% average annual return without compounding</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Capital more than tripled using just 2 trades per month</li>
</ul>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Expanded Margin Method:</strong></p>
<ul class="[&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">90% win rate with slightly higher capital requirements</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">76% average annual return without compounding</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">More flexibility and theta to work with</li>
</ul>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">The real kicker? <strong>72% of all trades required zero adjustments</strong>. That's hands-off trading at its finest.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5">Why Time Spreads Work So Well</h2>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Unlike iron condors and credit spreads that have positive theta but negative vega, time spreads flip the script with <strong>both positive theta AND positive vega</strong>. This means:</p>
<ul class="[&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">You profit from time decay (theta)</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Volatility spikes actually <em>help</em> the trade (positive vega)</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">The structural edge comes from selling front-month premium that decays faster than the back-month options you're long</li>
</ul>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Amy designed this specifically for <strong>SPY</strong> to maximize liquidity and minimize slippage, but the strategy translates directly to <strong>SPX</strong> and can be adapted to other ETFs and indices.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5">Flexibility That Fits Your Life</h2>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">One of the things Amy's students love most is the flexibility:</p>
<ul class="[&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Trade every week</strong> for maximum growth potential</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Trade twice per month</strong> (like Amy's testing) for steady returns</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Skip weeks</strong> for holidays, earnings, travel, or life events</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Scale up or down</strong> &#8211; works for accounts of all sizes</li>
</ul>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">The strategy pairs beautifully with Amy's other approaches like the A14, HV7, or AIC22 since you're trading ETFs rather than index options.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5">Bonus: No-Adjustment Weekly Strategy</h2>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Amy's also including a &#8220;set it and forget it&#8221; bonus strategy that requires <strong>zero adjustments</strong>:</p>
<ul class="[&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">67% win rate in testing</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">191% total return from January 2023 to June 2025</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Simple 10% profit target and 10% stop loss</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Slightly more capital intensive but completely hands-off</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5">Real Trade Examples</h2>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">In her presentation, Amy walks through actual trades from 2025 showing how the strategy handles:</p>
<ul class="[&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Rising markets</strong> &#8211; SPY up 2% after entry, still profitable</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Falling markets</strong> &#8211; Quick drops managed with simple adjustments</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Choppy conditions</strong> &#8211; Neutral setup thrives in sideways action</li>
</ul>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Each example shows the complete trade lifecycle with exact entry, adjustment (if needed), and exit points.</p>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5">Why Amy Created The TimeEdge</h2>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Amy has been a full-time options trader since 2006, and she's always focused on strategies that generate income regardless of market direction. As she puts it: <em>&#8220;I'm a very outdoorsy person and I like enjoying life. So I don't want to sit in front of my computer all day.&#8221;</em></p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">The TimeEdge represents the culmination of student requests for:</p>
<ul class="[&:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [&:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Even more simplicity</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Fewer adjustments</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Consistent performance</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words">Flexible scheduling</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="text-xl font-bold text-text-100 mt-1 -mb-0.5">Workshop Details & Special Pricing</h2>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Amy's launching <strong>The TimeEdge Workshop</strong> starting Thursday, July 17th at 4:30 PM Eastern. The workshop includes:</p>

<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">After years of developing and testing automated trading systems, we're excited to announce the launch of our newest product – the Goldilocks Autotrader, specifically designed for Micro E-mini Gold futures trading.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>The &#8220;Just Right&#8221; Approach to Gold Trading</strong></p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">The Goldilocks Autotrader uses our proprietary entry system that waits for the optimal moment – not too early, not too late, but just right. The system trades two Micro E-mini Gold contracts (MGC) and operates from just after the European session opens until the close of regular trading hours.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">We've been testing this system extensively in live evaluation accounts and regularly stream our trading sessions on YouTube to demonstrate real-world performance.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Key Features</strong></p>
<ul class="&#091;&:not(:last-child)_ul&#093;:pb-1 &#091;&:not(:last-child)_ol&#093;:pb-1 list-disc space-y-1.5 pl-7">
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Automated Execution:</strong> The system runs completely automatically through the NinjaTrader 8 platform, requiring minimal supervision once configured.</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Risk Management:</strong> Built with sophisticated risk controls designed to work with various account sizes, from $5,000 personal accounts to $50,000 prop firm accounts.</li>
<li class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Prop Firm Compatible:</strong> Specifically designed to help traders pass prop firm evaluations with its focus on consistent performance and controlled drawdowns.</li>
</ul>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>System Requirements</strong></p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">You'll need NinjaTrader 8 platform with a funded futures trading account. The autotrader can run on any Windows computer that meets NinjaTrader's minimum system requirements. For optimal performance, we recommend a stable internet connection and a computer that can remain running during trading hours.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Who Is This For?</strong></p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">Perfect if you want consistent gold futures trading without constant monitoring, are tired of emotional trading decisions, want to qualify for prop firm funding, or prefer systematic, rules-based approaches.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">This system is not suitable for traders looking for get-rich-quick schemes, expecting 100% win rates, or those unwilling to give proven systems time to work.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words"><strong>Launch Information</strong></p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">The Goldilocks Autotrader is currently in final testing and is expected to launch in May 2025. We are accepting charter members for our waitlist who will receive priority access and special pricing when the system becomes available.</p>
<p class="whitespace-normal break-words">For more information and to join the waitlist, visit our <a class="underline" href="https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/0/aeromir/~https://info.aeromir.com/futures/goldilocks.cfm">Goldilocks Autotrader page</a>.</p></div>
