ES UpdateWe have an open gap above and an open gap below. I assume the one above will fill first on this rate cut pump until POwell (and/or inflation numbers) squashes it then it fills the gap below. Everything is green right now, index futures, cryptos, and even gold but I assume that's because it's a commodity not because of speculative hedging. All otehr commodities are up as well. Flying out to WA tomorrow, no position. Also, RSI is overbought on the 3 hr so be careful. This may be a melt up though. I do expect the gap below to fill eventually, but as we know, sometimes it takes some time. Probably not trading next week, good luck.

Bullish WeekMarket Maker Buy Model still in play. I will be looking for a perfect moment to enter longs. This will either be after sweep on 4H or once we start pushing through the FVG marked on the chart. I want break above the 4h OB (2 STDV). If we break above, it will have to retrace back to it (second possible entry) and then distribute more to the upside. If this currently forming 2AM 4H Candle sweeps 10PM 4H Candle and closes back in the range, it will be ideal. I wouldn't want the push below the breaker.

ES how to trade longs!On the 1-hour ES chart we identified an hourly oversold condition against our JLines bands and flagged a long plan this morning (see the 2:39 PM alert). We held the JLines 60 min curl as support, pulled the trigger near 5,375, and rode the move up to 5,475+ for a clean win. Setup Details Timeframe: 1 hour Signal: Hourly JLines curl held in oversold zone Entry: ~5,375 region Target: 5,700 area Outcome: Target reached, +100 handles This is our repeatable process—spot the JLines support in an oversold zone, plan the entry, and lock in the move.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 4-23 : Rally-111 PatternToday's pattern really showed up pre-market. Where was the rally today? It happened before the US markets opened for business. The SPY/QQQ had already moved up into my upper resistance area on strong buying overnight. I knew I had to run my father around most of the day, so I booked my profits this morning and tried to catch one little SPY rally (that didn't work out). So, I started taking some positions for next week's potential downtrend, and I thought, "How much risk am I taking on these trades if the markets continue to move upward?" I realized I would be taking about $1000 to $1400 in total risk, but my expiration date is near May 16. So my target for any profit really needs to be before May 10th or so. If the markets do what I expect, I'll be sitting back, watching my profits grow as the markets trend downward into my May 2 Major Bottom (I hope). I created this video to highlight the now partially confirmed inverted EPP pattern that setup the Ultimate High in early trading today. Now that we've completed the inverted EPP pattern, we should be looking for the ES/SPY/QQQ to move downward, shift into a sideways/upward price flag. Then, break down into the new Consolidation phase. Essentially, if my EPP patterns play out well, I timed my move away from longs/calls and into shorts/puts almost perfectly. Now, I just need to sit back and wait for the markets to make a move. This is what trading is all about. You can't kick the markets to do what you want them to do. You have to learn to take what the markets give you and fall in line with market trends. When you do that well, profits start to fall into your lap (if you are patient). Follow along as I break down these market trends and learn how to develop your own skills.

SPY/QQQ Plan Your Trade Update For 4-22 : EPP StructuresThis video highlights why the Excess Phase Peak pattern is so important for traders to understand and follow. Imagine being able to see into the future and to be able to plan/project price action in a way that is like putting together building blocks (or Leggos). That is what the Excess Phase Peak pattern represents for all traders. Once you understand it and learn to use it, you'll see how it presents very clear opportunities for you to plan and execute fantastic trades in any market. Fibonacci Price Theory, Energy Cycles, & The Excess Phase Peak patterns are really the core structures of price. Elliot Wave is fantastic for "after the fact" type of analysis. IMO, you don't really know how the EW count is truly structured until after the current major wave structure is complete (meaning you are 2-3 waves into the new (counter-trend) structure. Watch this video and try to think about how I'm taking the EPP patterns to learn to plan out opportunities for price based on STRUCTURE - not indicators or averages. This is how the markets work. Pay attention and GET SOME. #trading #research #investing #tradingalgos #tradingsignals #cycles #fibonacci #elliotwave #modelingsystems #stocks #bitcoin #btcusd #cryptos #spy #gold #nq #investing #trading #spytrading #spymarket #tradingmarket #stockmarket #silver

Plan Your Trade Update For 4-21 : Waiting For The EPP SetupThis video is, hopefully, going to help many of you learn to use the Excess Phase Peak (EPP) pattern more efficiently. For months, I've been trying to teach all of you to use this pattern to efficiently identify and trade some of the biggest price moves. Remember, price only does TWO THINGS - TREND or FLAG. These components are essential to the EPP pattern setup. First, price must TREND into a peak or trough. Second, price must pullback from the peak or trough. Third, price must move into a SIDEWAYS/FLAGGING formation. Forth, price must break away from the sideways/flagging formation and attempt to TREND into the new consolidation phase. Fifth, once the new consolidation phase starts, price will trend and flag within the consolidation range for a period of time - before... Sixth, price will attempt to break up or down to the Ultimate High/Low. This chart of the ES/SPY will show you how I used my analysis to "front-load" my positions before the Easter holiday weekend. I've been telling all of you the markets would likely attempt to move a little bit higher, trying to target 525-535 (if we are lucky). Then, price would roll into a topping formation and move downward towards my May 3-6th low (estimate). Last Thursday, I decided to throw on two positions to protect against any big news that may cause the markets to collapse over the holiday weekend. I picked up : 4 SDS CALL options @ $23 expiring on May 16 3 XLF PUT options @ $47 expiring on May 16 Both of those trades worked out perfectly this morning. I booked 2 of the XLF and 2 of the SDS for profits near 1030 AM PT. Lovely. Next, in between phone calls and loading up my car for a short trip, I noticed a beautiful EPP pattern setting up in the ES, and that EPP pattern has already reached what I believe to be the Ultimate Low. I tried to get into 2 SPY Call options @ $512 and held my breath to see if I timed the entry well. NOT. I took a $280+ loss on those two Calls. I waited a bit longer to see what price did, and after the price setup a base below $510 on the SPY, I loaded up on two more SPY Calls @ $510 and two SSO calls @ $67 about 70-80 minutes before the end of trading. The way I looked at it, I already had my downside trades placed from last Thursday, and I just added some upside exposure while my downside trades were profitable. I didn't know if the SPY would rally or not, but the EPP Ultimate Low setup suggested NOW is the time to buy. So, I kept both downside and upside trades active to protect my account overnight. The SPY rallied into the close, and I ended up making some nice profits off that EPP Ultimate Low. Now, I'm going to wait to see what happens tomorrow morning and try to BOOK my upside trades in profits while letting my longer-term downside trades play out into early/mid May. This is trading. The entire purpose of trading, like I trade, is to position for the best opportunities and try to catch the GIFTS the market throws at you as often as possible. Nothing is guaranteed, but price ultimately shows us everything we need to know. Watch this video to see if you understand the EPP Ultimate Low that prompted me to buy my CALLS today. If so, then you are starting to GET IT, and that is a very big step towards improving your trading skills.

ES Daily Indicator UpdateI think the market is gonna go oversold on the daily again. It broke the wrong way out of the pennant-like structure, we still haven't heard about the electronics tariff, and we've got a slew of earnings coming up where every conf call will talk about tariffs and recession. Long on gold at least until we hit that bottom again, not shorting because of the open gaps above. I think the only hope of filling those gaps is a deal with China. Even if that happens, it'll probably be a few weeks or months. If daily indicators go oversold, I plan on going long on index or sector ETFs. Too risky right now to bet on individual stocks.

ES UpdateSorry, I don't have time to post during work hours, I did comment on my last ES post though. As I mentioned, RSI hit oversold mid day on my 3hr chart with positive MFI divergence. So here's an updated plot. I can't watch the market continuously, so I didn't play the bounce. Thought about some calls EOD, but if you hold a long position overnight, you're basically betting on TRump keeping his mouth shut for a day. Didn't like the odds, lol. Futures are green so far though. Just keep in mind TSLA reports tomorrow after hours (AH). I'm not planning on going long on the stock market until the daily gets oversold. At least that'll give me bigger bounce where I don;t have to pay attention every minute, lol.
