SPX Model Trading Plans for TUE. 01/24Earnings Earnings Everywhere...
With yesterday's daily close above 3985, our models have flipped to a bullish bias and will remain bullish while the index is above 4000. Nevertheless, models indicate a rather choppy market while the index is below 4015.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models indicate going short on the close if the daily close is between 3980 and 3965, with a 35 point trailing stop.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.
Trading Plans for TUE. 01/24:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 4016, 4002, 3988, or 3973 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4013, 3999, 3984, or 3968 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate no explicit long or short exits for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:36 am ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.

Emini
we are right at that same level in spx futes4037 is former r1 swing in wave, and bulls are in full control of that momentum with the breakout. there are two paths we could take. if bulls maintain that control of the 4037 level we will reac r1 soon, but back to swing p sooner if we lose it. scenario a coincides with extension, and scenario b is a continuation of b wave. im favoring the downside, but im not dedicated to that idea. specifically if we take out the highs of this futures session im adding, and if we resist from 4037 im continuing to sell. tsla, aapl and the like are great both ways.
SPX Model Trading Plans for MON. 01/23Earnings Earnings Everywhere...
The nature and the tone of this week's earnings releases is likely to bring in some choppiness into the price action. According to the trading plans published on Friday, 01/20: "If the index closes above 3950 level, our models will switch from the cautiously bearish bias to a neutral bias. A daily close above 3985 will see our models flip to bullish bias". As such, our models are now sporting a neutral bias, with these levels still applicable.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models indicate going short on the close if the daily close is between 3950 and 3935, with a 35 point trailing stop.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.

Models indicate long exits on a break below 3984, and short exits on a break above 3957 for today. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 09:36 am ET or later.

right here, right meowin a perfect world we would be able to say that this is the start of a broader market recovery with an almost absolute degree of certainty. this is the real world however, and we all have to keep in the backs of our minds that things could still go very badly for longs. that being said bulls do appear to be keeping control of this bounce, and shorts look like theyre ready to start hitting pretty major stoplosses starting a massive squeeze. if we stay over this area, and steer all signals upward im banking on hitting those upper levels, and if we dont... then we dont. we are probably headed back to the lows at the very least, and possibly much lower if we cant maintain this momentum. however we are quite near confirmation of the first weekly higher low in more than a year. that is major.

In our trading plans published yesterday, Monday, 01/09, we stated: "The index is now approaching the resistance band in the range of 3960-4002, and the price action in this range determines the next leg". The index failed nearing the lower end of the resistance band and got repelled from there strongly.
With the CPI numbers and Initial Jobless Claims coming out tomorrow, there is really no directional catalyst on the radar for today. Our models indicate choppy trading while the index is between the broader range of 3900-3955 on a daily close basis.

In our trading plans published on Thursday, 12/22, we stated: "Our models reiterate range-bound trading while the index is within the broader 3810-3860 range on a daily close basis". And, our plans published on Friday, 01/06, we stated: "Our models indicate continued choppy trading while the index is within this range".
Friday's strong spike up cleared this range on a daily close basis, and this morning's price action is clearly building on top of that. The index is now approaching the resistance band in the range of 3960-4002, and the price action in this range determines the next leg.

What can A.I. powered trading system do to generate alpha?No wonder trading is hard! I have been watching and learning how to trade the futures for the last couple of years and it’s been a remarkable learning curve for me! The dramatically changing market conditions and extreme volatility can make newbies like me get caught up in emotions and left looking for help.
I recently came across a very interesting website that publish their proprietary AI-based trading strategies every morning along with the results these models generated during that trading day. Interestingly, their trading system’s return has been more than double over the last 4 years, while the system’s beta has been ZERO! Does this prove the robustness and fundamental strength of AI-powered trading systems?
Would love to know what other traders think. Feel free to comment.
SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 12/22Next Support Level - Confirmed - Day 2
In our trading plans published on Monday, 12/19, we stated: "...the index is now testing the next key support level around the 3825-3835 range. Our models are indicating a range-bound trading while the index is trading within the broader 3810-3830 range on a daily close basis. If you are short, you might want to take profits on a break out of this range. If you are itching to go long, you might want to wait until the range is broken out of to the upside".
In the trading plans published yesterday, Wed., 12/20, we stated: "That support level is confirmed as held by our models, and if you followed the plans you should be long going into the open today. If not, you might want to wait to go long as our models indicate range-bound trading while the index is below 3866".
This morning session's first hour's action has been within the range of 3810-3853, still holding the lower and upper bounds from our earlier trading plans. Our models reiterate range-bound trading while the index is within the broader 3810-3860 range on a daily close basis. Seasonality effects such as Santa Clause rally (anticipation/positioning and unraveling of the same), Year-end-tax-loss selling, January effect etc.) could lead to sudden spikes in both directions.
Unless you "must" trade, it might be a good idea to take it easy and sit on the sidelines until the new year, especially while the index is within the above range.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional trading models closed out the short from Thursday, 12/15 (opened at 3893.51) with a profit of 78.01 index points and are currently flat. Models indicate staying flat until otherwise indicated.
By definition, positional trading models may carry the positions overnight and over multiple days, and hence assume trading an instrument that trades beyond the regular session, with the trailing stops - if any - being active in the overnight session.
Intraday/Aggressive Models: Our aggressive, intraday models indicate the trading plans below for today.

Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3810, 3818, 3833, or 3862 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 3805, 3820, 3835, or 3857 with a 10-point trailing stop.
Models indicate long exits on a break below 3815, and short exits on a break above 3815 or 3840. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 11:01 am ET or later.
By definition the intraday models do not hold any positions overnight - the models exit any open position at the close of the last bar (3:59pm bar or 4:00pm bar, depending on your platform's bar timing convention).
To avoid getting whipsawed, use at least a 5-minute closing or a higher time frame (a 1-minute if you know what you are doing) - depending on your risk tolerance and trading style - to determine the signals.
