SPX is hovering around key levels, but I’m not glued to my screen. Why? Because smart trading isn’t about reacting to every single tick—it’s about executing a plan.

My Trading Philosophy:
✅ I check the charts twice a day—morning and near the close.
✅ No alerts, no chasing, no overreacting—just Pulse Bar notifications.
✅ This keeps my blood pressure low and my profits high.

Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ Bullish trigger remains at 5705.
✅ Bearish trigger is below 5605.
✅ 5700 is emerging as the real pivot level.

The Plan—No Stress, No Chasing:
✅ If price hits my levels, I execute.
✅ If it doesn’t, I wait.
✅ Because great trades aren’t forced—they come to you.

SPX’s bullish breakout was short-lived, and price has fallen back into the range, forming a bear flag ahead of today’s FOMC event.

Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ Bullish case is weakening—staying cautious until 5705 breaks.
✅ 5605 is my active bear trigger.
✅ Tight price coil suggests a breakout could be coming.
✅ FOMC at 2PM could be the catalyst for the next big move.

How I’m Trading It:
✅ Remaining bearish/neutral below 5635 (range high).
✅ Waiting for confirmation before taking new positions.
✅ If price holds under 5605, I’ll lean bearish.

Bottom Line:
✅ FOMC could be the match that lights the next fire.
✅ For now, I wait—let the market tip its hand first.

After taking an extra-long weekend, I’m back at the charts and catching up on the latest move.

Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ SPX has broken out of the range, testing bullish momentum.
✅ My bull trigger is set at 5705.
✅ My bear trigger is a move back below 5625.
✅ Larger timeframe suggests a breakout-pullback—failure could send us to 5255.

How I’m Trading It:
✅ Waiting for market open to execute based on my triggers.
✅ Not rushing—taking the best setup when it presents itself.
✅ If we roll back into the range, I’ll be ready to flip bearish.

Bottom Line:
✅ Levels are set, plans are in place—now it’s time to execute.

SPX is stuck in a familiar grind, bouncing between levels, teasing both bullish and bearish scenarios.

Market Setup & Key Levels:
✅ A bullish move is possible but only above 5650.
✅ Until then, I’m favoring the continuation of the bear swing.
✅ Friday’s rally pushed SPX to the upper range, but futures suggest weakness.

My Trade Plan:
✅ Delaying bullish entries unless we break 5650 with conviction.
✅ Monitoring a potential drop towards 5550/5500—ideal for my open bear swing.
✅ Rolled some experimental Friday GEX trades, given I’ll be away Monday.

Looking Ahead:
✅ If SPX pushes lower, exits will trigger, locking in profits.
✅ If we break out, bullish trades likely won’t need action until Tuesday.
✅ For now, my Guinness is poured, my exits are set, and I’ll check in from St. Paddy’s celebrations.

SPX continues its lazy, stair-step descent, but history suggests a short bounce before the next leg lower.

What’s Happening Now?
✅ Last time, SPX pushed lower, popped up, then dropped again.
✅ Gamma Exposure levels show 5500/5520 acting as price magnets.
✅ 5550 could be a key resistance level before another drop.

How I’m Trading It:
✅ Delaying bullish trades until we clear 5700.
✅ Watching for bearish reversal setups near 5550.
✅ Targeting 5500/5520 for a potential low-of-day move.

What’s Next?
✅ Bearish swings are starting to unload—profits locked in.
✅ Will reposition if tranches hit target exits or new setups appear.
✅ If nothing compelling develops, I’m clocking out early—time for saxophones, zoo visits, and a St. Patrick’s Day pint.

SPX continues its stair-step movement, following a bearish Darvas box pattern.

Market Breakdown:
✅ SPX moves down, pauses, moves down again—rinse and repeat.
✅ 5650 remains solid resistance, confirmed by Gamma Exposure levels.
✅ 5700 is the key level before considering any bullish plays.
✅ Bearish targets remain at 5255 if the breakdown continues.

Trade Execution:
✅ Live zero-day trade during Fast Forward Mentorship call.
✅ Perfect execution—expired at max profit by day’s end.

Next Steps:
✅ Watching for bearish entries, pulse bars, and breakouts.
✅ Staying patient—waiting for the market to give the next move.

Viva la profits!

The bearish grind continues, slowly stepping lower, delivering small but steady wins.

Market Breakdown:
✅ SPX continues its slow-motion sell-off—no panic, just controlled declines.
✅ Yesterday’s rally blamed on Canadian tariff news—but it felt like the market just needed an excuse.
✅ Drop, pause, drop pattern remains intact—suggesting another pause before the next move.

My Trading Plan:
✅ Still fully loaded with bearish positions—waiting for exits before adding more.
✅ Two tranches should hit profit targets by week’s end.
✅ Bullish setups are on hold until SPX reclaims 5850.

Key Takeaway:
✅ Patience remains the best trade—letting profits unfold while waiting for the next move.
