How to Journal SPX Bull Put Spreads (Without Spreadsheet Chaos)

If your bull-put history lives in screenshots and memory, your win rate is fiction. Here is a minimal journal schema that scales with the ladder.

Selling a 0DTE vertical into an unresolved opening range is a coin flip with tail risk. The opening range gate forces a wait or skip.

Not trading is a position. Volatility regime tells you when 0DTE credit is bait, not edge.

0DTE mistakes happen before the fill. Run this checklist when the session scorecard, gates, and time exit are not already answered.

Improvised exits are where disciplined spread sellers lose their edge. Dynamic multiples encode max pain before you enter.

Adding the next vertical because premium looks good is how ladders blow up. Book load and zones translate stacked risk into one readable frame.
