In yesterday's letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. The market had a strong focus of defending the critical levels we discussed. We had strong support at 5849, 5875, and 5862 with multiple long entries throughout both the overnight and regular sessions. Then in the regular session, low of the day was 5865.16, just above our identified long support level at 5862, which then led to a significant rally up to the high of the day at 5924.21. We closed DIRECTLY on the 5917 target support level, at 5916.93. $SPY ( ▲ 0.49% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.41% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Today saw a nice half a percent move higher accompanied by good climbing daily volume.

For tomorrow, we have consumer sentiment and inflation expectations data, as well as at least two FOMC members speaking throughout the day-which happens to be Options Expiration! These events may lead to increased volatility, so stay alert and manage your positions carefully!

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.
