☀️ TODAY’S REVIEW:READ BELOW

A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Setups:

OVERVIEW:

What is there to say?

Well, actually… there’s a lot that could be said.

The one trading skill to master is the ability to do nothing… when the setups are just too risky… or you are nowhere near a high-probability trade location.

Your ability to Stand Down in the face of the desire to trade is critical.

That desire… that itch to be in a trade… that is often the enemy.

It’s like the devil prowling around, looking to devour you.

1 Peter 5:8:

“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.”


The hardest thing a man can do is nothing… when every bone in him is hollering to do something. That’s why most men can’t be traders.

We both know… the market will always give you another opportunity.

It is not going anywhere.

But a blown account… or a deeply wounded one… that is a hole that is very hard to climb out of.

It sets you back mentally and emotionally. It just flat out sucks playing from behind.

Protect your capital like it is the last of it. Because someday… it might be.

A trader who can’t say “No” to the chart when he is supposed to… won’t be a trader long. 

Discipline is what separates the traders who last from the ones who don’t.

PSSSSsssssst. You will say “No!” many more times than you will say “Yes!”

Keep the powder dry, and we will trade another day. 

Celebrate your No Trade Day!

BATTLE PLAN:

🔥 Battle Plan 5️⃣ offered a couple of entries last night, each for 20 to 30 points. 

250-Pointer? If by some hook or crook you could have taken the first Battle Plan 5️⃣ entry and held a single runner behind Battle Plan 5️⃣ , and all the stars aligned, you maybe, could have maybe, just possibly been in the Trump candle. One of the traders in our group was!

The Battle Plan:

OVERVIEW: 

Personally, I have very little trust about price stability here.

There are no high-probability trades here, and caution is the word. 

Extreme caution, that is. 

Texas-Tea Caution. (Beverly Hillbilly reference.)

That said, we seem to have accepted the higher prices today in the RTH session from the monstrous Trump candle. 

We traveled above the opening, traveled below and come back to the opening. 

And unfortunately, we know the president can say one thing on Monday and the exact opposite on Tuesday.

Battle Plan Notes:

Step 1Trade the Trader long here. Small. Very tricky area to me. Use the Strong Range to help with entry. 
Step 2Possible short idea. As noted in Battle Plan 1️⃣ , this is a very tricky area, but if they take it back to the entire Trump candle, this could be a fantastic trade. But remember the RTH session fought hard to keep price up here, so this could be a very difficult trade. 
Step 3This is the trade we outlined while on Zoom that would interest me in engaging in price. If you got short with multiple contracts, this might be a good place to take initial contracts off and hold a runner just in case it takes back the entire Trump candle. Perhaps look to add to your trade above today’s opening price. 
Step 4This is a long trade idea by us, dropping back into the Asia session and laddering back out above the Strong Range as drawn
Step 5This trade idea takes the overnight low. It gets a little scary way down here, but if we reclaim the Strong Range, I would be very interested in this trade. The deeper the pullback before reclaiming the Strong Range and the stronger the snappy ladder back price action is, the more I would be excited to take this trade. 
 

    These trade ideas highlight likely “reaction zones” and are for educational purposes only. I am not a financial advisor, nor have I ever played one on TV. Nothing here should be taken as personalized trading advice. Always trade based on your own confirmation — these trade ideas simply one trader’s opinion – they are just “trade ideas”.
