Day 3: the QQQ 705 Call
Mon 26 Oct 2026. One 0DTE QQQ options suggestion, stated before the 06:30 PT open and graded the same afternoon under the frozen rules.
Result: WIN. Expiry return +67.1% against Entry, the contract’s opening print.
The graded row
| Date | 2026-10-26 |
|---|---|
| Contract | QQQ 705 Call, exp 2026-10-26 |
| Target | 715.00 |
| QQQ range / close | 705.58 to 715.25 / 712.12 |
| Result | WIN |
| Entry (opening print) | 4.26 |
| Peak (intraday high) | 10.33 |
| Expiration (value at expiry) | 7.12 |
| Max return | +142.5% |
| Expiry return | +67.1% |
| Shadow result | Target touch 08:01 PT, exit 10.22, +139.9% |
Prices are per contract, in dollars. Entry is the grading basis under rule v1.1. The shadow result is the v1.2 shadow track grade for the same day, kept separate from the frozen grade and never combined with it. Retro means the shadow grade was computed when the shadow track was introduced in v1.2, from the intraday data then available.
The lesson
The relief continuation played out, but the target touch was thin, only 0.25 past target, and the contract first fell 34.0% from its opening print.
