In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. Today’s trading session was characterized by a significant attempt to bounce back; however, we were unable to maintain the critical 7687 level. Our trading action was largely contained within the chop zone, with resistance encountered at 7687. A brief breach of 7669 led to a quick drop to the low of day at 7660. From there, we saw a small recovery, testing the high of day at 7697, but ultimately gave it back including the key 7687, closing the day with sideways consolidation. $SPY ( ▲ 0.41% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.43% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )

Trading Plan

Despite today’s .43% move higher, the lower volume typically associated with Fridays indicates a lack of conviction in the rally.

Looking ahead to Monday, the economic calendar is relatively light, but we do have a key speech from the Treasury Secretary. Keep your eyes peeled for any developments from the administration that could impact market sentiment.

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

In fact, we’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.
