Morning Lineup: 12 Setups in Bear Mode
Stoptions.ai published 12 new setups at 9:45 AM ET on June 22 into a BEAR SPY regime with Fear & Greed at 37. The first eight picks ranged from FLEX (score 76/100, win prob 50%) down through a cluster of lower-conviction plays—HXL, CIFR, CMI, GLW, and TLN all scored 53/100 with 41% win probability. The day's four highest-conviction setups came next: FLEX (again, score 80/100, win prob 75%, entry $152.09, target $164.26), MTN (80/100, 75% win prob, entry $144, target $155.52), UNM (80/100, 75% win prob, entry $92.6, target $100.01), and CDNS (80/100, 75% win prob, entry $388.35, target $419.42).

Running Record: 589 Closed Trades
Over the trailing 365 days, the algorithm has closed 589 trades with a 42.4% win rate (expired contracts counted as losses), a profit factor of 2.88, and an average return per trade of 26.8% (capped outliers). Average winner: +99.8%. Average loser: -24.2%. One aged position from May 21 (LYV options, -52.2%) was cleared from the book as administrative housekeeping today and is not part of the session's trading activity. The running metrics reflect the full weight of both the high-conviction wins and the string of losses that accumulated through the bear regime.
