I'm going to show you 3 simple techniques I use to find & alert trades like these every single week!π
Cheat code #1 = Previous Day High & Low Zones β
These are the 2 most powerful areas of support & resistance on a day to day basic!
Here's the cheat sheet β¬οΈ
Trend days...
Above PDH = Focus on calls π
Below PDL = Focus on puts π
Range days...
Reject PDH = Focus on puts π
Bounce PDL = Focus on calls π
These 4 easy follow scenarios help me determine the directional bias on the next trade i takeπ
Cheat code #2 = EMA trends β
I use the 13 / 48 / 200 EMA's on the 2 minute chart (extended hours on) to look for Bullish & Bearish EMA trends, As well as a tool to determine chop vs trend!
Lets breaks down all 3 scenarios right now π
Bullish EMA trends = Here's the cheat sheet β¬οΈ
Above 200 EMA = Bullish
Above 200 + 48 EMA = More Bullish
Above 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Mega Bullish
The strongest upside momentum happens when...
13 EMA on top π‘
48 EMA in middle π£
200 EMA on bottom π΄
Study this bullish price action π
Bearish EMA trends = Here's the cheat sheet β¬οΈ
Below 200 EMA = Bearish
Below 200 + 48 EMA = More Bearish
Below 200 + 48 + 13 EMA = Mega Bearish
The strongest downside momentum happens when...
200 EMA on top π΄
48 EMA in middle π£
13 EMA on bottom π‘
Study this bearish price action π
You will notice that balanced or "range days" will be showing little to no EMA trend.
When these 3 EMA's are too tightly spaced it's simply showing a lack of momentum to one side.
In other words we are consolidating and it's time to stay patient and wait for more confirmation.
Study the choppy days and take notes of the areas to avoid π
Cheat code # 3 = Bull / Bear Flags β
Here's the cheat sheet β¬οΈ
Focus on Bull Flags above the Previous Day High
Focus on Bear Flags below the Previous Day Low
Learn to spot the flags! They are one of the most simple and reliable chart patterns out there π

I've used this simple strategy on $SPY & $QQQ to become a full time trader π§΅
Bookmark and study it and you could do the sameπ
Start by charting out the Previous Day High and Low zones. Very simple π
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 π
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 π
Below the PDL zone = Favor puts π
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 π
Consistent $5k - $10K weeks and I feel I'm not even scratching the surface of my potential yet!
This is my strategy thread π§΅
Let's start by going over my objective each day...
I'm looking to identify the trend by watching key areas of support & resistance, then catch a piece of that trend as price travels from one level to the next.
Identify the trend β
Enter the trend β
Manage risk β
Take profit β
There are many ways to accomplish this, I'm simply going to show you mine π
The first thing I do is make a small zone using the Previous Day High & Previous Day Low levels...
These 2 zones will determine the directional bias for my trades that day.
Here's my quick cheat sheet π
Break above PDH = Bullish
Reject at PDH = Bearish
Bounce at PDL = Bullish
Break under PDL = Bearish
This gives me 4 scenarios to watch for. Now... we will circle back to this chart later because I always like to combine this with a second form of confirmation.
