Trading Strategy & Performance
If you followed last week’s setup, you would have had 14 winners, 0 losers, and 1 scratch – not too shabby!
Members learn three primary bounce levels and how to map them onto an End-of-the-Day Chart for precise trading.
Tip of the Day: Take Rest Seriously
When you step away from the charts, really step away. It’s something I’m working on this week, especially since my wife is home, and I want to spend more time with her. Proper rest ensures that when I return to the charts, I’m refreshed and ready to trade like a sniper.
Market Outlook & Key Events
This week is a Level 10 difficulty in terms of market-moving events.
Retail Sales data is coming out now – let’s see how it impacts the charts.
Contract rollover happens Tuesday.
Wednesday: FOMC event – Expect volatility.
Friday: Options expiration – another critical trading session.
Live Chart Analysis & Market Structure
Last night’s analysis:
Expected price to test a key level but missed it slightly at 3 AM.
If I were trading at that time, there was a solid opportunity.
Current market sentiment:
Bulls have short-term control – they’ve defended key levels.
Still in an upper distribution phase, trading above last week’s POC.
Key Technicals:
0650 is an important halfback level.
Watching two trend lines: a 30-minute trend line and a parabolic trend line – price is currently testing them.
In the red zone, it’s usually better to look for shorts, while in the lower range, longs tend to work better.
Breakout Strategy:
Keep a runner contract in case the market makes a big breakout move.
Runner Management System ensures you don’t have to guess – you’ll already be in the trade if it happens.
Final Thoughts
Trade the levels as they develop.
If it’s a three-contract system trade, keep one runner in case of a breakout.
Everyone leaving a comment below will likely have a 10-pointer today – so drop a comment!
Stay green, my friends!

THIS MEANS YOU MAY LOSE MORE THAN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE OR THE AMOUNT REQUIRED TO HOLD AND CONTROL THE PARTICULAR DERIVATIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN EMPLOYING LEVERAGE.
THE HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE THAT IS OFTEN OBTAINED IN FUTURES, OPTIONS, FOREX AND CONTRACTS FOR DIFFERENCE CAN WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. IN OTHER WORDS, THE USE OF LEVERAGE IS A TOOL THAT CAN LEAD TO LARGE LOSSES AS WELL AS LARGE GAINS. WHEN USED PROPERLY THIS CAN BE AN ADVANTAGE, BUT WHEN USED IMPROPERLY AND CARELESSLY IT CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC LOSSES - OFTEN RAPIDLY.
