01 / Strategy specification

Strategy rules.
Complete execution model.

Jay, known as Selling Rips or RIPS, publicly describes an index-focused process that combines price, volume and options flow to locate precise areas where significant activity is expected. His futures education is also repeatedly associated with Market Profile and Auction Theory, while Market Clubhouse publishes pre-market support and resistance levels before the New York open. The long model uses ES as the primary contract and turns the documented principles into a testable sequence: establish a bullish auction context, require price to drive above a pre-mapped activity level, wait for a controlled pullback that reclaims and accepts that level as support, then buy only when the confirmation candle breaks the reclaim high. Structural risk sits below the pullback low and failed-acceptance zone; the first target is the next profile reference, with a 2R extension when the auction continues. NQ is a valid secondary market because Jay publicly identifies both S&P and Nasdaq indexes as core areas of focus.

Selling Rips publicly states that his 2023 focus was the S&P and Nasdaq 100 indexes and that his process combines price, volume and options flow to identify precise activity levels. Independent interviews also describe his futures edge as Market Profile and Auction Theory. ES is therefore the primary primary contract; NQ remains a documented secondary focus.
