How to trade the week
Sell premium only on days the regime checklist passes (no trend, calm width, mid-range, rich straddle, quiet tape); on event days stand aside until the number is out. The VIP Indicator's SELLER engine runs that checklist on every candle, and its STRUCTURE engine marks the levels that matter before the week starts.
