In Friday’s letter, we wrote:

This is what happened. The levels played out perfectly today with a notable dip and defense right at the 5986 level, just as anticipated. This setup allowed for a strong rally, pushing up more than 35 points from that dip point. The market showed resilience by holding above key support levels, indicating bullish sentiment. $SPY ( ▼ 0.24% )  $SPX ( ▼ 0.22% )  $ES_F ( 0.0% )  

See how well the levels work?

Trading Plan

Today was characterized by another sideways consolidation day on much lower volume. The lack of significant trading volume suggests that traders may be waiting for clearer signals before making substantial moves.

Tomorrow, we have the small business index report, along with Trump speaking right as the market closes. These events could provide the much-needed catalysts for a breakout or further consolidation. Keep your plans flexible and be ready for potential swings as market participants react to the new information.

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.
