Sooner or later with a declining NYSI...
From the linK:
At the moment, the in-the-money 292 put for Friday’s expiration is up 110%, $10K-Plus for each $10K in play.
I define a “trending day” as anytime the calls or puts on the day trade close up with a profit of more than 100% on my system trigger. That, of course, is yet to be seen today (will update on the close).
There have been 27 trending days so far this year.

you only day trade the SPY options? So just go 1 week out and then day trade it each day of the week

The biggest bang for the buck, to say nothing about the liquidity, is in the nearest expiration. For instance, at the moment, today's 291 put is up 111% on my entry signal, next Friday's is up 66%.
It comes down to whatever one is comfortable with, particularly on the entry (and after that it is all defense).

look at the WEEKLY candlesticks and how they close today for the VIX, QQQ, SPY etc.
This is starting to look like we get a follow on huge weekly candle down next week similar to February 2018
if true, then it would seem wise to trade puts for another full week down next week

QQQ 182 weekly puts opened around .50 and the low was .26. Bid 2.15 right now.
Yup. The SPY 289 put, not that far out for an ETF at opened at 289.69, went as low as .16 today, was a buy on my signal at .53 and are, at the moment, up 275%. Out of the money is huge but just in the money is oftentimes safer (or at least feels that way) in a dangerous game.
