$SPY A thread 🧡 detailing the strategy I use to stay consistent and profitable in the stock market!

Following these methods has lead me to having only 1 red day in the past 6 weeks of trading! And I'm going to show you exactly how I do this right now!

Lets dive right in πŸ‘‡ Image
It starts by determining which direction has the better R/R to play that day. There are usually 3 options.

Balanced/Range dayπŸ“ˆπŸ“‰
Uptrend day πŸ“ˆ
Downtrend dayπŸ“‰

Picking up on which one it will be quickly makes it a lot easier to place winning trades that day.
One of my favorite ways to determine direction is to use the Previous days high/low Supply & Demand zones. These are a great tool to use for finding the start of a trend day.

Below we have 3 perfect examples on $SPY from just last week. Lets take a closer look at each of them πŸ‘‡ Image
We started off the week with a balanced/range day.

Neither the high or low of the previous day was broken. This tells us that neither buyers or sellers are in control.

There are still great opportunities to be had on these days if you are aware of the range we are in πŸ‘‡ Image
Some tips for trading balanced days. Because neither buyers or sellers have control price action tends to be choppy.

Avoid taking calls near the top of the range and puts near the bottom.

Use can pre market and intraday levels, emas and chart patterns to find plays πŸ‘‡ ImageImageImageImage
Next we got a downtrend day! The break of the PDL demand zone was the first sign that sellers have taken control of the day

When this happens the R/R tips drastically in the favor of going short. The bounces get sold off quick and the moves down are a a lot smoother are quicker Image
Now lets take a look at this uptrend day. Using the same previous day H/L zones we can tell early on that buyers are in control of the day.

We want to go long on the dips because that is now where the best R/R is until we hit our next resistance zone above πŸ‘‡ Image
You can see from this weeks price action alone how important it is to not come into the day with a bias.

Chop, Uptrend, Downtrend are all possible on any given day. Coming into the day with a bull or bear mindset greatly reduces your chances of making money consistently!
I keep 3 EMA's on my chart. 13ema - 48ema - 200ema.

I treat them as my 3 areas of support and resistance on pullbacks. As price moves from one zone to the next I look for pullbacks to these EMA's.

The 13ema on the 2 minute chart in my go to entry point most of the time πŸ‘‡ ImageImageImageImage
The 200ema is my line in the sand for direction. I also use it as a basic support and resistance level.

A good rule of thumb is price over the 200ema = Bullish, price under the 200ema = Bearish πŸ‘‡ Image
I have my zones for direction and my EMA's for entries. I add in basic chart patterns to help with gauging when momentum will pick up or slow down.

Some of my favorites are simple Bull/Bear flags and trend lines. They are some of the easiest to spot and really effective πŸ‘‡ ImageImageImageImage
I have a set stop level for every trade. This guarantees that I will never take a huge loss on any 1 particular trade.

Everyone takes losses. Keeping them small in critical to remain consistent. Have a plan when entering and respect it. Small losses are easy to recover! ImageImageImageImage
General overview of my trading strategy πŸ‘‡

I use Supply & Demand zones to identify short term market trends then look for low risk pullback entries to the emas. I use basic chart and candlestick patterns to assist me with this.

I rinse & repeat the same process daily πŸ‘‡ Image
Thank you so much for reading my thread. Of course i'm only able to scratch the surface here but i hope it helps πŸ™ If you liked it please give it ❀️ & ♻️ to share it with others!

$SPY My trading strategy mega thread! 🧡

The goal of this thread is to help you identify & execute your own high quality trades.

$100 days turn into $1,000 days quickly when you start to follow a repeatable system!

And this is my system πŸ‘‡ Image
Image
I start by marking these 4 levels everyday... ✍️

~Previous Day High
~Previous Day Low
~Pre Market High
~Pre Market Low

*Previous Day High / Low = Highest & Lowest price of yesterday's trading session.

*Pre Market High / Low = Highest & Lowest price from 4am to market open.

Here's a visual example of where to find these 4 levels on your chart πŸ‘‡Image
Now I use the Previous Day High & Low levels to make 2 support & resistance zones.

I use the 15 minute chart...

Previous Day High to the following candle body = My PDH resistance zone.

Previous Day Low to the following candle body = My PDL support zone.

Visual example of how I make the zones πŸ‘‡Image

The blueprint to start making $1k/day trading $SPY 🧡 Image
Support & Resistance...

It's by far the most effective tool for trading the stock market! If you are newer to support & resistance, start with this simple techniqueπŸ‘‡

Make a zone using the Previous Day High & Low.

Previous Day High = Resistance. Focus on calls/upside if price breaks above it.

Previous Day Low = Support. Focus on puts/downside if price breaks below it.

You can also trade inside the range using rejections/ bounces of those same areas.

Here's a visual example from yesterday ⬇️Image
EMA trends...

I use the 13 / 48 / 200 EMA's on the 2 minute chart.

Here's my quick cheat sheet πŸ‘‡

Above 200 EMA = Bullish
Above 200 + 48 EMA = More Bullish
Above 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Most Bullish

Below 200 EMA = Bearish
Below 200 + 48 EMA = More Bearish
Below 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Most Bearish

Let me break down some visual examples because these EMA trends are so good! ⬇️

I've used this simple strategy on $SPY & $QQQ to become a full time trader 🧡

Bookmark and study it and you could do the sameπŸ‘‡ Image
Start by charting out the Previous Day High and Low zones. Very simple πŸ“

Previous day high zone = High of day wick to the following candle body.

Previous day low zone = Low of day wick to the following candle body.

Here's a visual example of todays PDH & PDL zones πŸ‘‡ Image
I use these 2 major areas of support & resistance to guide me through the price action the following day.

Above the PDH zone = Favor calls πŸ“ˆ

Below the PDL zone = Favor puts πŸ“‰

Trading within the previous days range can often be a little more tricky. If you are not consistently profitable yet consider avoiding that area completely πŸ‘‡Image
