In yesterday’s letter, we wrote:

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of 7058, 7075, 7090 and 7139. Despite today’s sell-off we managed to hold 7058, so our bias remains bullish and we’ll look to buy dips that defend…Holding above 7090 overnight would also be a bullish signal, allowing us to push through 7105 and 7122 and target 7139.

This is what happened. Today’s trading session demonstrated the power of our key levels. We initially held the 7090 SPXlevel overnight with a dip & defense that led to a run all the way up through our resistance target at 7122. Then, in the regular session we defended supports again and ran to high of day 7138.64 - right at our 7139 target. $SPY ( ▲ 1.01% )  $SPX ( ▲ 1.05% )  $ES_F ( ▲ 0.9% )  

See how well the levels work?

White Castle is Now Expanding at .001% the Cost

No, not with new brick-and-mortar stores. With robotic kiosks from ART.

ART, aka Automated Retail Technologies, makes serving food 24/7 possible for brands like White Castle at .001% the cost of a new brick-and-mortar.

Their robotic kiosks dish out customers favorite dishes, like warm White Castle sliders, on demand in seconds.

That makes entering new markets a three-step process. Plug it in. Stock it. Turn it on. And it isn’t just White Castle benefitting.

Other big-name food brands like Nestlé and Macaroni Grille partnered too, and foodservice behemoths like Sysco and Aramark also use it. Even better, until April 25, you can earn guaranteed bonus stock as an early-stage ART investor and share in their growth.

Trading Plan

Today’s session saw a substantial 1% move higher, although it was on lighter volume, which does illustrate the caution in the air.

Looking ahead, we have crucial unemployment data set to be released before the market opens tomorrow, followed by PMI data post-open. Additionally, geopolitical tensions, particularly involving Iran, remain a factor to watch closely, as they could influence market sentiment significantly.

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.

For tomorrow, we’re closely watching the key SPX levels of…
