The problem most traders have

Most Systems Create Noise.
This One Removes It.

Without a system
✗Watching charts for hours, unsure what to look for
✗Buying stocks because they "feel" right or looked hot on Twitter
✗No position sizing — risking too much or too little per trade
✗Taking trades that were up 30% before entry (the NVTS problem)
✗No idea when to hold vs when to stand aside (BEAR markets)
✗Reviewing hundreds of stocks with no filter to cut them down
With the OPERATOR system
✓Sunday scan takes 60–90 min. Rest of week: execute or skip
✓Setup Gate: 5 questions. All pass = trade. One fail = skip. No judgment
✓Position sizing built into every trade — exact shares, dollar risk shown
✓NVTS guard auto-rejects stocks up 18%+ in 5 days. BW, BMBL, GRPN — all rejected
✓Regime Scorer tells you when to push, when to be selective, when to stand aside
✓Scanner A reduces hundreds of stocks to 2–4 quality candidates in 30 minutes
The core framework

The Setup Gate

Every trade goes through 5 questions. All must be YES. One NO = skip the trade, no exceptions. This discipline — from Chapter 8 of the book — is the single rule that separates traders who survive from traders who blow up.

01
Liquidity
Average daily volume above 500K shares. Tight bid/ask spread. Can you get in and out without slippage killing the trade?
Scanner A checks this automatically
02
Structure
Clear support and resistance visible on the chart. The stock is at a level that has bounced at least twice in 60 days. Readable setup.
You check this during Sunday scan
03
Risk : Reward ≥ 2:1
Target is at least twice your stop distance. Reward ÷ Risk ≥ 2.0. The journal calculates this automatically from your entry and stop.
Journal auto-passes or fails this gate
04
Market Context
SPY and QQQ in uptrend or neutral. VIX under 25. Sector leading, not lagging. The Regime Scorer runs this at macro scale every week.
Regime Scorer handles this
05
Conviction
Can you explain the setup in one sentence? If you hesitate, the setup is not ready. Clarity before entry — every single time.
You confirm this in the journal notes
06
Earnings Clear
No earnings announcement within the next 14 days. Gap risk bypasses your stop loss — your $7.65 stop does not protect a gap from $8.50 to $5.00.
Scanner checks earnings dates
Real result from the book (Chapter 8)
Jake ran the Setup Gate for one quarter: before, 47 trades at 38% win rate, –$1,240. After, 18 trades at 61% win rate, +$2,180. Same market. Same strategy. The gate eliminated the marginal trades that were costing him money.
The weekly routine

The 2-Hour Sunday System

This is the entire weekly process. Add nothing. Skip nothing. Every step maps to a tool in the dashboard.

Sunday 7:00 PM
Regime Scorer + RS Tracker
Run the Regime Scorer — BULL, NEUTRAL, or BEAR verdict determines your aggression for the week
Check RS Tracker — identify which 2-3 sectors are leading vs SPY this month
BULL: push hard, standard size. NEUTRAL: raise bar, half size. BEAR: no new longs
Sunday 7:30 PM
Scanner A — Master Score
Run Scanner A on your watchlist — filter 65+, sort descending
Review 80+ scores only — these pass Gates 1, 3, and 4 automatically
Run Setup Gates 2, 5, and 6 manually on each 80+ result — takes 2 min per stock
Result: 2-4 qualified candidates for the week
Sunday 8:00 PM
Scanner B — Options Filter
Run Scanner B on your 80+ stocks — checks IV Rank, liquidity, and premium cost
Score 70+: buy calls is appropriate. Under 50: stock trade only
Set TOS price alerts on each qualified setup — above 20-day high + 2× volume
Monday 8:00–9:15 AM
Scanner C — Pre-Market Gap
Run Scanner C — scores gap quality 0-10. Rejects BW, GRPN, BMBL automatically
Gap score 8+ AND on Sunday watchlist = strongest trade of the week
Not on Sunday list? Skip it. The gap appeared without your setup foundation
During the week
Execute When Alerts Fire
Alert fires → check: still above support, volume confirming, no news breaking your thesis
Enter → log in journal with gate compliance → set stop immediately on fill
Friday: review journal — did you follow the system? That's the only metric that matters in Month 1

Built on the books

Every Tool Maps to a Chapter

If you've read Trade with an Edge or Hold Without Panic, you already understand the system. The member tools are the books made interactive — the Setup Gate is Chapter 8, the position sizing calculator is Chapter 2, the Regime Scorer is Gate 4 at macro scale.

"The Setup Gate solves this. Before the gate: 47 trades in 3 months, 38% win rate, –$1,240. After the gate: 18 trades in 3 months, 61% win rate, +$2,180. Same market. Same strategy. Difference: he stopped taking marginal trades."
From Chapter 8 — Trade with an Edge / Start Trading the Right Way
"Gate 4 of the Setup Gate asks: Is the broad market favorable? In a cold market, Gate 4 becomes nearly impossible to pass honestly. That is not a bug — it is the system protecting your capital automatically."
From Chapter 8 — the same chapter the Regime Scorer is built on

Common questions

FAQ

Do I need to read the books first?
The tools work without the books, but you'll get 2-3× more from them if you've read Trade with an Edge or Hold Without Panic first. The Setup Gate, position sizing rules, and NVTS guard all come from those books. Members who've read them know exactly why each tool is built the way it is.
Do I need ThinkorSwim? What broker should I use?
The Web Scanner and all 7 HTML tools work in any browser — no ThinkorSwim required. The TOS Script Library is for members who want to run the scanners natively in TOS, which is recommended but optional. For brokers, ThinkorSwim (TD Ameritrade/Schwab) and Tastytrade both work well with the OPERATOR system. Rollover IRA accounts work fine — no Pattern Day Trader restrictions since this is swing trading.
Are there stock picks or daily alerts?
No. There are no stock picks, no signals, no Discord, and no live chat room. The system teaches you to find and evaluate your own setups using the scanner and Setup Gate. If you want someone to tell you what to buy each day, this is the wrong product.
I'm a complete beginner. Is this too advanced?
The books cover beginner-to-intermediate concepts. The tools are designed around the Setup Gate framework — 5 questions that anyone can run. Start with the foundation modules (included), paper trade for 30 days, and advance to live trading only when your gate compliance is above 90%. Many members start with zero trading experience and use the 90-day roadmap from the book.
What account size do I need?
The OPERATOR system is calibrated for $4-$12 stocks with 100 shares at a time. A $5,000–$10,000 account is the practical minimum. The position sizing calculator enforces 0.5-1% risk per trade, which means you're risking $50–$100 per trade on a $10,000 account — survivable even through a rough patch.
What happens when I cancel?
You lose access to the member tools immediately on your next billing date. Your trade journal data stays in your browser's local storage — export to CSV before canceling if you want to keep your records. No hard feelings, no win-back emails, no cancellation fee.
Will the tools work with my Roth IRA?
Yes. The OPERATOR system was specifically designed for retirement accounts — Rollover IRA, Roth IRA, traditional IRA. No options selling strategies that require margin. The options checklist is for buying calls only, which is permitted in most IRA accounts. Check your custodian's specific rules for options level 1/2 access.
