In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. The levels played out exactly as we had discussed, with a solid defense at 5962 overnight leading to a surge towards 6008. Then we came down in the regular session, defended 5962 AGAIN and the reclaim of this level was crucial. The market responded positively, running all the way to a high of 5999.7, just shy of our 6000 target. Then, we had the short entry trigger with loss of 5941 on the developing Trump/Musk story - this caused the move to the 5924 target before a bounce into the close. $SPY ( ▲ 1.03% )  $SPX ( ▲ 1.03% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

With the market having moved down 0.5% on increased volume, we should be cautious of any further volatility.

Tomorrow, we have more employment data scheduled, and it will be important to monitor any updates on the ongoing TSLA/Trump story that could impact market sentiment.

Overall, it’s essential to remain vigilant and stick to our levels as we navigate through this dynamic environment.

I am receiving some great questions from beginners. This is helping me develop guides for this group as well as the course. More to come but I’ve created a separate channel in the discord just so you can not be shy about bringing those questions to the group. No question is dumb, we grow stronger together!

In fact, I’ve created this single resource as a guide. It is a living document and we will continue updating it. You must be logged into the site to read it:

As readers know trading after a massive move in either direction is risky.

Trying to predict when trend will break is a fool’s game because the trend can be stronger than you ever realize.

Going with the trend is hard because it has already run so far (or dropped) and move may be close to over.

All you can do is pick your entries carefully and with proper position sizing. Trading out 1-3 DTE or further also helps soften the blow.

Yes it will decrease the amount of profit but will greatly help keep you in a trade long enough to see return.
