Alpha Crunching Trade Ideas

How to Get Started with Alpha Crunching’s Weekly Trade Ideas

Welcome to Alpha Crunching! One of the most valuable tools for new subscribers is the Trade Ideas tab, which is updated every week before the trading week begins. This page highlights backtested SPX trade ideas, built using proven strategies and Alpha Crunching’s proprietary historical data.

The goal is simple — to save you time and help you focus only on the highest probability setups for the week ahead. After logging in, just head to the Trade Ideas tab to see the latest trades for the current week.

Each trade idea includes shorthand details to help you act quickly, along with more in-depth explanations if you want to dig deeper. For example, a typical trade might be a TTR-based 1-day expiration put credit spread (1DTE PCS) — entered at 3:45 pm Eastern, only if SPX is above its 20-day SMA. Details in the video.

Each trade also links to blog posts showing historical performance, so you can understand the strategy’s track record before placing trades.

This tool is updated every Sunday — so be sure to check the Trade Ideas tab before the week starts. Whether there are multiple trades per day or only a few for the week, the Trade Ideas page helps you stay ready with data-backed setups.
