SPX Model Trading Plans for WED. 02/22FOMC Minutes and GDP To Set the Near Term Tone
Yesterday's Range Breakdown to be tested today with the FOMC minutes at 2pm EST, followed by GDP release tomorrow at 8:30am EST. Unless some major upside surprise, our models indicate current downtrend to pick up momentum. Longs need to be wary of the loss of upside momentum and wait for a while before dipping their toes into the longs.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are wary of the potential volatility spikes this afternoon and tomorrow morning due to the major economic releases as mentioned above, and are indicating to stay on the sidelines for the day.
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 WED. 02/22:
Aggressive Intraday Models: For today, our aggressive intraday models indicate going long on a break above 3941, 3993, 4020, or 4055 with a 9-point trailing stop, and going short on a break below 4051, 4014, 3988, 3983, 3967, or 3938 with a 9-point trailing stop.
Models indicate explicit short exits on a break above 3972 or 3955, and explicit long exits on a break below 4067. Models also indicate a break-even hard stop once a trade gets into a 4-point profit level. Models indicate taking these signals from 12:31pm 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.

SPX Model Trading Plans for TUE. 02/21Range Break Downward Confirmed
On the Day 10 of the consolidation theme, our trading plans published on Friday, 02/17 stated: "Today's closing action needs to stay below 4088 to confirm this bearish turn. If it is not confirmed, our models point to the risk of an upward spike, trapping the shorts. If going short, beware of a potential bear trap". We got that confirmation with a close at 4079.09 on Friday.
As forecast, the index followed with a deep fall today in the morning session today - how the price action develops throughout the day and into the closing is yet to be seen, and that will determine the forecast for further price action.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are wary of today's price action and are indicating to stay on the sidelines for the day.
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.

SPX Model Trading Plans for FRI. 02/17Range Broken Downward?
On the Day 9 of the consolidation theme, our trading plans yesterday published: "If the index closes below 4150 today, our models indicate continued choppy trading until some unexpectedly positive macro development shows up. There is no bearish concerns as long as the index is above 4095".
The index closed below that 4095 level yesterday, leading our models to turn bearish, and our positional models to go short. Today's closing action needs to stay below 4088 to confirm this bearish turn. If it is not confirmed, our models point to the risk of an upward spike, trapping the shorts. If going short, beware of a potential bear trap.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models opened a short on the close yesterday at 4090.42, with a take-profit on a cross above 4065, and a trailing stop of 33 points. The index crossed the 4065 at 9:42am, closing the short on the open of the next 1-minute bar at 4065.38, for a profit of 25.04 points.
For today, the models indicate going long on a cross above 4072 with a trailing stop of 12 points. Models also indicate going long at the daily close if above 4100 with a trailing stop of 10 points.
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.

Trends show weakening, but market is overall flat; Look to JobsSo as I state in the video, I cashed my short out at 4148. Looking for another short to get into or just picking up where I left off at.
We had a 30m/1hr trend down yesterday, and overnight we got a 30m/1hr trend up. The uptrends overnight were a lower high on the 30m and a higher high barely on the 1hr. We are currently below the 1hr but sitting above the 30m.
Overall, I see the jobs data really driving this market back up to 4190 +\- 10 if it shows weakening, or sending us below 4100 if it shows a surprise strengthening. Currently expectations is that jobless numbers have increased from last week.
The trends into today are;
Last Macro Trend Signal Spots
30m - 4159 Uptrend (2/9/2023) Lower High
1Hr - 4167 Uptrend (2/9/2023) Higher High
2Hr - 4166 Uptrend (2/7/2023) Higher High
3Hr - 4090 Uptrend (1/31/2023) Higher High
4Hr - 4142 Uptrend (2/1/2023) Higher High
6Hr - 4045 Uptrend (1/23/2023) Higher High
12Hr - 3993 Uptrend (1/11/2023) Lower High
Daily - 4084 Uptrend (1/27/2023) Higher High
Weekly - 4366 Downtrend (2/14/2022) Higher Low
Economic Data;
As I said, jobs data is today. That is the biggest data point to be priced in.
Earnings;
There are a few good earnings to watch I went over in the market. All have 'sell' signals according to some website, but I don't base any stock decisions off that website.
On a technical level, there isn't much to keep us up in this area up or down. There also doesn't seem much to move us out of it. So we seem to have stalled yet again here in the mid 4100 range.
My overall sentiment is;
Shorter Term - Bearish Neutral
Short Term - Neutral
Medium Term - Neutral/Bearish
Long Term - Neutral
Anyone else notice that the tags for certain things with the S&P aren't showing anymore? Weird.
Anyways, safe trading! Remember your risk management plan
SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 02/09Consolidation Ahead? Day 4

Models indicate no explicit long exits and short exits on a break above 4116 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 09:46am 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).

SPX Model Trading Plans for TUE. 02/07Consolidation Ahead? Day 2
The surge from post-FOMC last week could be consolidating a bit in the near term, unless some unexpectedly bullish macro developments take place. If you are long, could be time to take some money off the table, and if you are short/wanting to go short then you might want to dip your toes but want to wait for a confirmation before stepping in more. The risk is still for an upside spike than for a downside draft while the index is above 4100 on a daily close basis.
Positional Trading Models: Our positional models are flat for now. Models indicate going short on a daily close below 4100, with a take-profit on a cross above 4065, and a trailing stop of 33 points.
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.

Models indicate no explicit long exits and short exits on a break above 4073 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 10:35am 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).

SPX Model Trading Plans for THU. 01/26Good News Bad News?
At the open, markets seem to be buoyant on the GDP and on Tesla earnings. It may not take much for the markets to interpret the good news on the GDP front as bad news on the interest rates.
Our trading plans published yesterday, Tue. 01/24, stated: "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.

Yesterday, the index closed just about 1 point above the 4015 level, and our models are closely monitoring that level.

#ES_F Overview for 1.24.23 Review: Short covering continued today, during Globex we held above 3976-71 Support, consolidated under VWAP before then open and once we took the open out off we went, we flushed most of the supply out of this area last Wednesday so this move over 4030 was much easier without much consolidation needed on the way up. We saw our first decent correction and need to consolidate to go higher at 4046-42 which was first resistance target. We were able to take it out and hit next level at 4061-56 where we found more supply which gave a nice correction to VWAP, the higher it gets the more supply there will be so have to be careful at these areas as we might have found our range for distribution.
Overview: We have possibly found our distribution range between 4077-4030, have to see how we hold Globex but there is a good possibility to see a test of today's high at some point, will it hold or not is for us to find out. Ideally we hold 4030-25 support but very likely we could see some sort of flush under it before, as long as we hold over 4012-08 the upside has a chance of playing out. If we take a dip under 4030-25 and can consolidate under without breaking it will be a good information, unless we make some move over it tonight.
Levels to Watch: 4012-08 // 4030-25 // 4046-42 // 4061-56 // 84-77

Models indicate long exits on a break below 4028, and short exits on a break above 3966 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 10:31 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.
