In Today’s Masters in Trading: Live We called the "Mother of All Buy Signals" on October 20th. For those who don't know, it's a simple tool I’ve been putting on your radar over the last few weeks that any trader can use to confidently call profitable trades in the options market. It’s simple. Short-term volatility (9-day VIX) explodes in panic, then that panic collapses fast. When fear drains, dealers unwind hedges. And they're essentially forced to buy up the S&P/SPY. That forced dealer buy flow is the engine. We're not guessing direction. We're front-running how the market mechanically rebalances after panic. We saw that exact setup last week when the market ripped – Dow up ~600 points Friday – after a short-term panic sent investors into sell-off mode. Exactly the way this signal always calls the markets. We wasted no time getting in position. When the signal hit, our stance flipped bullish: long S&P / SPY / ES, expecting higher not lower. The Masters in Trading community locked in 100% gains in under an hour as the VVIX spiked. That spike triggered our exit from the QQQ puts we'd opened just days earlier. And that's just one potent example of a trade we booked on last week's predictable market panic. [Find out more about the key signals we use to trade the markets with confidence right here.] The truth is, I've been tracking this setup going back to 2013. With no stop, there were 23 trades and 0 losers in the back-test. Add a ~21-trading-day stop – and there were 32 trades with only 3 losers. The playbook target has been consistent the whole time: about a 100-point squeeze in S&P futures (ES), which shows up as a melt-up in the SPY. And we pair the signal with discipline: a ~21-trading-day stop. We give it time to deliver that ~100-point squeeze. If it doesn't, we're out. No diamond hands. This is why we keep saying: "Death, taxes, and the VIX trading system." The Mother of All Buy Signals is one of the most reliable bullish triggers we track. We followed it in real time last week, and we'll keep trading it in the same structured way whenever we see it. Back on the trading floor at the CME, volatility spikes were gold. The traders who understood how dealer flows worked after panic – they were the ones making money while everyone else froze. That's exactly what this signal captures.
