ES Morning Update OPEX FridayYesterday, 6109 served as both the sell target and support in ES, and that level held all day. I was targeting a move to 6129, which was hit, and then the market rallied close to 6145, just a few points shy. After a backtest, 6129 held overnight.
As of now:
• OPEX today—avoid overtrading and simply hold your runners
• 6129 is key; it keeps 6145, 6156, and 6161+ in play
• If 6129 fails, expect a dip to 6116

ES Morning UpdateIt’s been three days of trading within the 6120-6154 range in ES. Yesterday, I was watching for a test of 6129 with a final target at 6154 and a bonus at 6168. 6129 held precisely, and the market rallied to 6167.
As of now:
• Let the runners work—avoid overtrading

• If 6145 fails, expect a dip toward 6133, then 6123
Why the Dow Jones might close its gap with S&P and NasdaqThe S&P 500 and Nasdaq have once again reached record high, leaving the Dow Jones for dust in its choppy consolidation. But I think we're now facing a relative shift in their performance, which could see the Dow lead the way and close its gap with its Wall Street Peers.

ReCap from this morning!trade explanation going over why i had a bullish bias this morning. going over my loss of -$300 to a win of +$1,162 putting me at a profit of $866 for the morning.
S&P Weekly chart analysis2-19-25 S&P Weekly chart
Jan 13 week, trap reversal. Two strong bars and pullback needs a 2nd leg up, in progress. Bears have NOTHING to sell. Bears had a chance with the Feb 3rd week, gapping down, but still closing bullish. Bulls will buy everything and pushing hard for targets above.
Still, price seems labored and days see bulls taking quick profits.
S&P Monthly chartLikely to form a period of consolidation, 2 more legs up followed by larger reversal. Monthly chart looking like a mature parabolic wedge.

Strength in NQ futuresHi Fellow traders
I'll be starting my regular post of my bias of the market. Using Futures market as a indication of potential strength and weakness of the market.
Bias will be bullish into the open on NasDdaq as you can see from the comparison of Nasdaq VS S&P that there is a bullish divergence between NQ and ES. which is in alignment with the higher time frame draw
Specifically Long Nasdaq > S&P
My prediction would be that market will open to push for higher high
S&P 500 Futures - The stop hunt before the next move higher?Trading SPY, QQQ, or its futures counterparts had people checking their swing trades! A previous pivot point near the 0.382 level showed an area of piled up stop loss orders. With a glimpse of all time highs early in the morning a new measurement was required at the over night swing level. Price took the elevator down to grab the liquidity before moving higher? Or will this mark a reversal point for the S&P 500?

Trade #5 of 2025 executed. So simple, yet far from easy...
Trade entry at 178 DTE (days to expiration).
Trade construct is a PDS (put debit spread) at Delta 15 combined with a PCS (put credit spread) at Delta 15. Overlapping short strikes give it the "unbalanced" butterfly nomenclature.
Sizing and strike selection is designed to keep the risk/reward "AT EXPIRATION" to a 1:1 risk profile. This lets charm work it's magic (second order greek), while exploiting the fact that this is a non-directional bias. The process is a disciplined and systematic approach letting time decay evaporate the extrinsic time value from the short options until target profit is achieved.
IF target profit is not captured after 60 DIT (days in trade), then target is reduced by 50% for the next 30 days.
Happy Trading!

Pivot Candles with MFI OpacityHow to Use the Pivot Candles with MFI Opacity Indicator for Trade Entries and Position Management
Overview
This indicator is designed not only to display key pivot levels (support and resistance) and Money Flow Index (MFI) signals on your chart, but also to help you structure systematic order entries and position management. By combining pivot levels with dynamic MFI-based candle opacity, the indicator provides a visual framework that technical analysts and quants can use to time buy and sell stop orders as well as to pyramid positions or take profits.
Trade Entry with Pivot Levels
Buy Stop Orders Above R1:
Concept: In many technical setups, resistance levels such as R1 are viewed as potential breakout points. A buy stop order placed just above R1 allows you to enter a long position only when price decisively breaks the prior resistance, confirming bullish momentum.
How It Works:
The indicator calculates pivot levels based on the previous higher‑timeframe bar, so R1 is “locked in” for the current period.
When the current candle closes above R1, it may signal a breakout.
Technical analysts often place a buy stop order slightly above R1 (for example, a few ticks or pips above the level) to confirm the move.
Practical Application:
Quants and systematic traders can program their models to monitor when the current close exceeds R1.
Once this condition is met, a buy stop order is triggered to capture the breakout move, ensuring that you only participate if the price decisively moves upward.
Sell Stop Orders Below S1:
Concept: Conversely, S1 acts as a support level. A sell stop order placed just below S1 is designed to capture a breakdown. This order is activated when price closes below S1, indicating that selling pressure may be overwhelming.
How It Works:
With pivot levels fixed from the previous higher‑timeframe bar, S1 provides a reference for potential support.
A close below S1 can be interpreted as a sign of a bearish reversal or a continuation of a downtrend.
Practical Application:
Quants set up their systems to watch for a break below S1.
A sell stop order is positioned just below S1 to ensure that if the support level fails, the system can quickly initiate a short position to capture the downward move.
Using MFI for Position Management
Pyramiding and Profit Taking:
Dynamic Candle Opacity:
The Money Flow Index (MFI) in this indicator not only provides overbought/oversold alerts but also controls the opacity of your candlesticks. When MFI readings are high, the candles become more opaque, indicating strong buying pressure. Conversely, lower MFI values lead to more transparent candles, suggesting reduced momentum.
Pyramiding Long Positions:
Strategy:
In a strong trend, technical analysts might choose to add to a winning position gradually—a process known as pyramiding.
Implementation:
As long as the price remains above R1 and MFI readings are supportive (high and consistent), you may consider adding to your long position incrementally.
Each new buy stop order can be set above R1 with slightly adjusted trigger levels to capture further breakout strength.
Risk Management:
Quants use the MFI reading as a risk filter; if MFI begins to drop or the candles become significantly more transparent, it may be a cue to stop pyramiding or even begin taking profits.
Taking Profit Using MFI and Pivot Reversals:
Profit Targeting:
When price reaches higher resistance levels (e.g., R2 or R3) or shows signs of overextension in conjunction with extreme MFI levels (for instance, a sudden drop in MFI after a strong rally), you can begin taking partial profits.
Systematic Exit:
A systematic strategy might include scaling out of the position as the price approaches the next resistance level or when the MFI indicates that buying momentum is waning.
Similarly, for short positions entered below S1, profit targets might be set near subsequent support levels, with exits triggered if MFI suggests a reversal.
Summary
Entry Orders:
Place buy stop orders just above R1 to capture breakouts.
Place sell stop orders just below S1 to capture breakdowns.
Position Management with MFI:
Use MFI-based candle opacity as a visual indicator of momentum.
Pyramid positions in the direction of the trend when MFI confirms strength.
Consider partial exits if MFI readings start to reverse or if the price nears the next pivot level.
By following this systematic approach, technical analysts and quants can use the indicator not only as a visual tool but as an integral part of an automated or semi-automated trading system that emphasizes disciplined entries, pyramiding, and profit-taking.
ES_F (SPX Futures) Chart UpdateCME_MINI:ES1!
SPX futures now at decision point of the bull-flag built over the past two months.
S&P 500 - seems like we are back in the gameWith buyers swinging back all the news in the past month or so, they wanna gain full control.
Here we have: long term fibo with ew prediction
What do you think?
ES1 - S&P500 Retest of upper line of channelTo me this very clear and clean downward parallel channel has now been broken out of, with a confirmation of a retest of that line. Perhaps this is a good opportunity to go long on the S&P500.
ES Morning Update Feb 14thYesterday morning, a reclaim of 6066-70 zone in ES kicked off an easy long trigger, with 6125 set as the final target and 6139 as a bonus. We managed to tag 6139 overnight before the market pulled back to 6125.
As of now:
• Let the runners keep working, as thats all i do on Fridays mainly.
• 6120-23 is acting as support (it held, but it’s showing some weakness).
• Holding above this level keeps 6133, 6137, and 6154 in play.
• If 6120 fails, expect a dip to 6113, then 6098.
14 February 2025The S&P rose on Thursday after President Donald Trump announced plans for reciprocal tariffs but postponed their implementation. Investors also reacted to a new report indicating that inflation may be picking up again.
Despite Trump’s tariff announcement, markets remained steady. During a briefing, he emphasized the need for “fair and reciprocal” tariffs on all U.S. trading partners. However, the order he signed did not immediately enforce the tariffs. Instead, they are set to take effect as early as April, allowing time for potential negotiations with other countries.
