35 green tickets in a row, on past prices
Before the oven opened to anyone, Ben's team tested the same rules on past prices. That's called a backtest.
From April 20 to May 11, 2026, the 3:00 PM ticket was green 35 times in a row in the backtest. 29 hit the +40% sell. 6 closed green at the time limit.
Remember April? Oil at a 4-year high. War headlines. "Sell in May" talk. Plenty of people were scared to touch anything.
And not every ticket was green. This year in the backtest: 222 green out of 314. That's 71%.
That's a backtest on past option prices, not live trades. Target hits count at the +40% sell. Past results don't promise future ones, and not every ticket will win.
