In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. The levels played out tremendously well with a solid overnight defense at 5265, allowing for a rally up to 5342 before we lost 5280 right after the open. Then we saw 5297 stop becoming resistance and becoming support as the breakout occured. The move ran to 5320 and peaked at 5328.31, just shy of the 5329 target we had identified. Then we slid back into the close, where we were able to bounce again at the 5280 support. $SPY ( ▲ 0.14% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.13% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Today was a chopfest in a tighter range on lower volume. As we head into the long weekend, be on the lookout for news regarding tariffs and deals that could impact the market.

On Monday, we have at least one FOMC member speaking during the day, which could bring additional volatility and trading opportunities. Stay alert and plan your trades 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.
