You’ll learn:

– Why your nervous system sabotages emotional trades

– How the myth of “good stress” keeps traders broke

– What calm, system-led trading actually looks like

– The exact checklist to test if you’re guessing or executing

Monday Follows Script – Now Eyes On 6200 Resistance Pin | SPX Analysis 01 Jul 2025

The June 12-13 range finally broke, delivered a 4 percent thrust, and tapped our upside objective on Friday.
