SPX Tag n Turn Triggers, Then Fails On Midday Tax Panic | SPX Analysis 22 May 2025

Click, Flip, Fill – Trades Managed Without Panic Or Guessing

Ahoy there, Trader! ‍‍⚓️

It’s Phil…

Morning traders, Wednesday we flipped… then flopped… then dropped some more.

It started as a bullish Tag n Turn – but ended with a market flush, courtesy of midday tax bill fears. Classic SPX.

SPX Market Briefing

The funny part? I didn’t even know about the news until hours later.
Didn’t need to.

That’s what system rules are for.

When price flipped, the system flipped with it.

Here’s how it unfolded:

  • We opened with a classic Tag n Turn setup

  • By midday, the pattern faltered, and the market dumped hard

  • On our live Fast Forward mentorship call, we discussed the hedge trigger

  • That level broke – and just as it should, the bear pulse bar fired

What did I do?

  • ✅ Closed my bull swing trade for a partial loss (yep, second in a row – eye roll)

  • ✅ Entered the new bear trade

  • ✅ Followed the system. Zero hesitation.

Phew. [wipes brow]
That’s the most trade activity I’ve had to do in a while.

Alert fires.
Check charts.
Pause my show.
Leisurely stroll to the laptop.
Click click [expletive] click
“Come on you [expletive], fill!”
Aaaand done.
Back to the lazyboy.

As for today?

Futures are holding the overnight lows.
So we might see some follow-through selling at the open.

But again – we don’t guess.
We watch.
We wait.
We see what we see, when we see it.
And when the system says go – we go.

Expert Insights:

Mistake: Holding onto a broken setup because you’re emotionally committed
Why it hurts: Hope doesn’t hedge. And neither does ignoring the pulse bar.
Solution:

  • Trust the system’s flips – bullish to bearish, and back again

  • Accept small losses as tuition

  • Hedge and reverse trades with precision

Hope doesn’t hedge. And neither does ignoring the pulse bar.


Rumour Has It…

Sources say the tax proposal was leaked by “someone’s cousin who once visited Washington.”

Meanwhile, over at AntiVestor HQ, a trader calmly executed a system flip with four clicks and one expletive.

This is entirely made-up satire. Probably!

Fun Fact

Nvidia’s Meteoric Rise: From Enron’s Replacement to Tech Titan

In 2001, Nvidia was added to the S&P 500, replacing the scandal-plagued Enron. Since then, Nvidia has delivered a staggering total return of approximately 12,950%, transforming from a niche graphics chipmaker into a cornerstone of the AI and semiconductor sectors.

This remarkable ascent underscores the dynamic nature of the S&P 500, highlighting how companies can evolve and thrive within the index over time.
