The money flow lag and how to trade it on repeat

The secret lies in the divergence
 
   
     
I had to make a major correction during a recent live session I held with hundreds of traders.

You see… Whenever money flows in and out of the SPY, the market moves in the direction of the net flow. 

But sometimes the SPY hasn’t yet caught up to the new direction, so there’s a divergence.

The misconception was that this is rare… 

No, this money flow lag actually happens a lot. 

In fact, just last Friday, there were six divergences before noon.

 
 
That gives you and me a window to get in before the SPY reacts.

All you need is a way to detect this lag before the SPY reacts…

Handing in cool 0DTE opportunities every market day.

A while ago, when the net flow into the S&P was positive, but the price hadn’t reacted yet.

 
 
According to research, a quick trade in that window would have opened the door to a 76% return in 33 minutes.
 
 
And this works to the downside, too.

Money flow flipped sharply negative because the majority of S&P stocks were being sold, creating a bearish divergence. 

 
 
And a quick trade would have delivered a shot at 50% in 10 minutes.
 
 
Sure, there would have been smaller winners along the way and some that didn’t work out.

But if you can spot this divergence before the SPY reacts, you have the window to target quick payouts.

Today…

I'll walk you through the entire secret. 

You’ll see how it’s possible to leverage this same divergence to target three to five 0DTE setups every market day.

I won’t make reckless guarantees when it comes to trading…

But if you’re interested… check out how to get these 0DTE trades every market day.
All the best,
