Scalp ZERO DTE SPY on the 1-Minute Timeframe with “Candle Story” — A Real-Time Candle Psychology Indicator by Coffee With Q Developers
DALLAS, United States, October 23rd, 2025, FinanceWire
The Coffee With Q Developers, led by data journalist and Forbes Council member Qamar Zaman, have announced the release of Candle Story, an advanced trading indicator designed for both TradingView and ThinkorSwim platforms. Built specifically for traders scalping SPX and SPY zero days-to-expiration (0DTE) options, Candle Story interprets live candle psychology and institutional intent in real time — transforming raw price data into an actionable behavioral map.
The indicator decodes every candle as it forms, classifying market behavior into four dynamic categories — Strong, Normal, Weak, and Hidden (Trap) — displayed cleanly across the chart header. By doing so, traders can instantly visualize momentum shifts and detect engineered liquidity traps without relying on lagging indicators or cluttered visuals.
“Our goal was to help traders see what institutions see,” said Qamar Zaman, Founder of Coffee With Q and the Q Algo Training Program. “Candle Story turns the noise of a 1-minute SPY chart into a clear narrative of control and intent — so traders can make smarter, faster decisions.” **

Bridging Institutional Logic with Retail Tools
Institutional traders use candle structure, wick length, and price aggression to read liquidity — a practice that’s been largely invisible to retail traders until now. Candle Story bridges that gap, translating institutional candle logic into a simplified visualization that retail traders can actually act on.
“Every candle tells a story — of who’s in control and who’s fading out,” added Zaman. “Candle Story teaches traders to read that story live, one bar at a time.”
