The Anatomy of NoVo's Exit Ladder: Stops, Targets, and Trails
The entry is the easy part. NoVo's real work is the exit — a full ladder of stops, targets, and trails attached the instant you click, so the hardest part of scalping runs itself.

Most traders lose on the exit, not the entry — freezing on a winner, hoping on a loser. NoVo's answer is to attach a complete, pre-committed exit ladder to every trade the moment you hit Buy Calls or Buy Puts. Here's what's in it.
The protective stop
First, a protective stop — placed on the option, sized to a SPY level you set — and it lives at the broker, not just on NoVo's server. Even in the rare event of a connection problem, the stop is already resting with your broker. It's the floor under the trade, decided before emotion can move it.
Scaled targets and the trail
Instead of one all-or-nothing exit, NoVo sets multiple profit targets at successive levels, taking part of the position off at each. As targets hit, the stop trails up — locking in gains and reducing the position's risk while letting the remainder run toward the next dealer level (the bracket/OCO machinery that's brutal to run by hand on a fast 0DTE). You bank pieces on the way, rather than betting the whole trade on one exit.
One entry, a whole exit plan — stop, scaled targets, trailing lock-in — committed before the trade can make you second-guess it.
Closing before the bell — your one tap
The ladder above — stop, targets, trail — runs on its own the whole time you're in the trade. And closing a same-day option before the bell is a single tap: NoVo keeps the read live straight into the final minutes — the levels, your P&L, exactly where you stand — and closes the position the instant you click, so a 0DTE never rides into the physical settlement and auto-exercise that turns a winner into a stock position. You bring the read and the trigger; NoVo brings the hands.
