I trade $SPY for a living...

This is one of my favorite ways to find A+ setups 🧡

You've seen the daily payouts!
You've seen the big options trades!
You've seen the consistency day after day!

Now let's dive in and learn one of my go to plays πŸ‘‡ Image
Image
Image
Image
The goal of this thread is to show you how I identify key levels, confirm the break, enter the trend.

Identify key levels βœ…
Confirm the break βœ…
Enter the trend βœ…

That is the only mission we are looking to accomplish with this setup when the market opens πŸ‘‡ Image
Image
Identifying key levels βœ…

Keep it simple and focus on these 4 levels ✍️

Previous Day High βœ”οΈ
Previous Day Low βœ”οΈ
Pre Market High βœ”οΈ
Pre Market Low βœ”οΈ

These are the levels price trades near every single day. So they offer plenty of opportunities. Image
*Note - I like to make a zone using the Previous Day High & Low levels. These become the main areas of support & resistance I watch each day. (Image below)

Pre Market High & Low (4am to 9:30am EST) I keep as the secondary levels to watch. Image
Confirm the break βœ…

Next step is to patiently watch these 4 levels until we get a 15 minute candle close above or below one of them.

Waiting for that 15 minute candle close above / below the level is how you confirm the break and avoid a lot of fake outs πŸ‘‡ Image
Again... Let the 15 minute confirm the breakπŸ‘‡ Image
Enter the trend βœ…

Once the key level breaks is time to enter the trend!

I do this with my EMA strategy on the 2 minute chart. When the level breaks it brings in enough one sided momentum to start buying the 13 EMA dips πŸ‘‡ Image
Ensure the EMA trend system is aligning with the level break. Here's how that works.

Add the 13 / 48 / 200 EMA's to the 2 minute chart.

Bullish EMA trend πŸ“ˆ

13 EMA on top 🟑
48 EMA in middle 🟣
200 EMA on bottom πŸ”΄

Bearish EMA trend πŸ“‰

200 EMA on top πŸ”΄
48 EMA in middle 🟣
13 EMA on bottom 🟑

Now...

When those 3 EMA's tightly stacked or braided together it's a clear indication of chop / lack of momentum.

When those 3 EMA's start to space out and drift apart it's a clear indication of trend / momentum coming in.

Aim to buy dips when the level breaks and the EMA trend system is showing momentum πŸ‘‡Image
Image
Example of a trade on $SPY calls...

Watching PMH βœ…
15 minute close βœ…
13 EMA pullback βœ… Image
Image
Check out this one on $SPY puts...

Watching PDL support βœ…
Confirm the break βœ…
Enter the trend βœ…

Note all the momentum that pours in instantly after our entry alert! This is because we are letting the level break + EMA trend align πŸ‘‡ Image
Image
Another example of timing that momentum on $QQQ using the same simple process πŸ‘‡ Image
$IWM puts... Rinse & Repeat πŸ‘‡ Image
Image
$SPY calls... Rinse & Repeat ♻️

Identify key levels βœ…
Confirm the break βœ…
Enter the trend βœ… Image
Image
This setup is simple & repeatable week after week!

If I could only trade 1 setup for the rest of my life this would be it!

Thanks for reading and I know this will be a game changer for many who apply it.

Have a great weekend πŸ€™

My day trading strategy mega thread 🧡

I am going to cover my entire system. This will contain all the info you need in order to find your own high quality trades just like these.

Let's dive in! $SPY $QQQ $IWM πŸ‘‡ Image
Step 1 - Mark your support & resistance zones!

I start by marking the Previous Day High & Low zones before the market opens...

I use the 15 minute chart and make a small zone from high / low of day wick to the following candle body.

Lets break it down why i do this πŸ‘‡ Image
These Previous Day High / Low Zones give me 4 scenarios to watch that will help determine my bias for the dayπŸ‘€

These are the 4 most common scenarios that play out on a day to day basis ⬇️

1️⃣ Break PDH = Focus on calls πŸ“ˆ
2️⃣ Reject PDH = Focus on puts πŸ“‰
3️⃣ Bounce PDL = Focus on calls πŸ“ˆ
4️⃣ Breaks PDL = Focus on puts πŸ“‰

$SPY We had some tough price action to navigate during this 2nd half of August!

Here are a few tips and tricks I used to not just survive it, but come out with a 78% profit 🧡 Image
First is recognizing that not all areas on the chart justify a full size position. And some areas are just flat out not worth trading at all.

I made this guide to show you the blueprint I follow every single day.

Its a loose guide of how I want to approach sizing πŸ‘‡ Image
I can't tell you how many times that guide has saved me from over sizing and over trading in price action just like this πŸ‘‡ Image
