Night Hunt

Overnight SPXW options: live ES futures direction and actual listed-contract bid/ask. SPY closes overnight; its last chart is context, not a live entry trigger.

All Hunt desksHunt conditionsHistory and evidence
Night suggestion: WAIT - live confirmation unavailable
Outside SPXW overnight/late session

ES futures reference: unavailable or stale - not SPX cash or an option premium.

Feed: not confirmed. Scan: missing or expired.

No guaranteed prediction. WATCH is not a buy; READY means the existing setup checks passed, not a promised profit. Recheck the live book, invalidation, premium at risk and exit plan. No automatic order is placed.

GTH is 20:15-09:25 ET. Late/curb is 16:00-17:00 ET; same-day expiring contracts are excluded. Holidays and session breaks remain closed.

No current overnight SPXW candidate. Wait for fresh structure; do not force a CALL or PUT.

Conditions before buying a night SPXW option

CALL: ES must confirm upward direction above session VWAP with non-fading momentum, a completed range break and retest/higher low. Completed 15-minute structure and the latest ES candle must agree. Do not chase an upper-Bollinger extension.

PUT: ES must confirm downward direction below session VWAP with non-fading momentum, a completed breakdown and retest/lower high. Completed 15-minute structure and the latest ES candle must agree. Do not chase a lower-Bollinger extension; wait for a reset.

  • Active SPXW session and a verified listed, unexpired contract. The evening belongs to the next trading date.
  • Real-time IBKR data type 1. ES price-event and relay freshness, and both option bid/ask events, must be no older than 30 seconds.
  • Complete 5-minute candles, contiguous session structure and completed 15-minute confirmation; no forming-candle trigger.
  • Latest volume at least 1 times the recent baseline and directional participation at least 62.5%. Setup score at least 55; every other gate still applies.
  • Actual two-sided SPXW book: spread no more than 10%, displayed bid and ask size at least 5 each. Last price or SPY volume cannot prove option liquidity.
  • Separate proven GTH/curb evidence. RTH proof cannot authorize an overnight entry; missing proof stays WATCH.
  • Choose maximum premium loss, structure invalidation and exit plan before entry. 0DTE can lose the entire premium. Skip conflicting, stale, thin or extended setups.
