The VIX just hit its lowest level of 2026 while the S&P sits at all-time highs. Plus, the Anthropic IPO is moving up. See the exact framework I'm using to trade and profit from whatever September actually does.
I've been doing this for over 30 years, and right now I'm watching three separate things line up at the same time.
Back in June, I told the room we were sitting inside a stealth bear market. Not a crash - a quiet one, the kind that doesn't show up on television until it's already done its damage. Nobody wanted to say it out loud back then. Now they are.
The VIX - Wall Street's own fear gauge - just dropped to its lowest level of the year while the S&P sits at an all-time high. BTIG's chief technician is calling that exact setup "a very attractive time to hedge." Michael Burry is out warning about a 1987-style setup. Carson Research just flagged that the S&P had back-to-back losing months for the first time since years like 2001, 2002, and 2008.
And right behind all of it sits a loaded calendar: the August jobs report, then PPI, then CPI, then the Fed's meeting on September 15th and 16th.
On top of all of it, Anthropic has reportedly moved up its IPO date, and it's about to land right in the middle of everything above. I've traded IPOs like this one before - SpaceX is the closest comparison, and you've seen exactly how that played out in the room: watching the open, waiting for the setup instead of guessing, and catching the move once the tape actually showed its hand.
I don't guess which way any of this breaks.
I trade the reaction.”
That's the whole philosophy behind the setup I've used to hit almost 1,600 consecutive documented wins on the same earnings gap-and-reverse VWAP trade. That's exactly what I'm walking through, live, on Thursday, September 3rd at 1:00 PM ET.
Here's some of what's happened in the room recently, while that setup kept running underneath it:
August 8th - a 19-for-19 day. Every single trade called that day worked.
$MRNA - seven separate entries on one name, all seven winners.
A six-week stretch where the room went 140 for 142, with only two losses.

By the end you'll know exactly how to trade the reaction, not guess the direction, using the six-step system I run every morning.
How to read a market sitting at highs with historically low fear priced in, and why that combination has mattered before.
Why the data itself doesn't matter, and how I plan to read the market's reaction to the September 15th-16th FOMC decision.
The exact, repeatable setup behind the nearly 1,600-win streak, and how it holds up regardless of which way the market breaks.
How the same mechanic lets you look for money on the way down and be positioned for the bounce, instead of picking a direction and hoping.
How the mornings actually work - the scan, the focus list, and the execution window I trade inside every day.
What it looks like to trade all of this through the same two VWAP lines, in real time.
