In yesterday's letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. We opened the day after a decent overnight session that saw us hold onto early gains on China trade negotiation news. But we could not reclaim the 5640 level and chopped sideways. Then we dipped down just above the 5570 key support after the rate announcement, defended, and set the stage for a rally. This allowed us to reclaim the targets of 5595 and 5617, ultimately reaching a high of 5654.73, just shy of the 5659 target that was provided yesterday. $SPY ( ▲ 0.11% )  $SPX ( ▲ 0.09% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

In terms of volume, today saw a moderate bounce higher fueled by higher FOMC volume, indicating some strength in the market.

Tomorrow, we will have unemployment data released prior to the open, along with a 30-year bond auction in the afternoon, which could introduce additional volatility.

As always, keep your eyes on the key levels and maintain caution as we navigate this potentially pivotal market 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!

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.
