S&P 500 E-Mini Futures

Day 39 — Trading Only S&P Futures | -$2,465 DrawdownDay 39 of Trading Only S&P Futures ends with a tough -$2,465 loss. The morning started strong — I was green on my first three trades with bullish signals at the open. But by 10am, unexpected news about a government shutdown and rate cut doubts shook the market. I got shaken out, lost my morning gains, and ended the day deep in the red. In hindsight, if I had trusted my analysis, kept my MOB buy-the-dip orders, and stayed patient, I would’ve finished green. Instead, I let the news trigger me and broke discipline. 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6705 = Flip Bullish Below 6675 = Flip Bearish

Day 38 — Trading Only S&P Futures | +$1,935 WinI’m trading one system, one ticker — S&P 500 futures — every single day for a full year. I journal every session to track progress, reflect, and sharpen my execution. If you’re serious about building consistency and treating trading like a business, you’re in the right place. Stick around — at the end, I’ll break down the key levels I’m watching for tomorrow. Let’s go. Recap & Trades Day 38 was different — I woke up late, wasn’t feeling well, and missed the morning’s big drop and recovery. Instead of forcing trades, I stayed patient on the sidelines. By the afternoon, DL and DD signals lined up beautifully. That’s when I stepped in, executed clean trades, and finished the session +$1,935. Proof that sometimes the best edge is waiting until the market gives you alignment.

Day 37 — Trading Only S&P Futures | +$1,559 Bearish BreakdownDay 37 of Trading Only S&P Futures is wrapped up with a strong green day — finishing +$1,559. The session didn’t start smooth. Running on 4 hours of sleep, I accidentally put in a buy order instead of a sell order at the 1-min MOB level. That mistake cost me some early profits, but once I flipped short, the bearish structure was undeniable. From there, it was all about riding the trend down — stacking shorts as sell signals and structure aligned. A strong reminder that even with mistakes, discipline and following the signals can still turn the day around. 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6725 = Flip Bullish Below 6708 = Remain Bearish

Day 36 — Trading Only S&P Futures | -$1175 LossDay 36 of Trading Only S&P Futures is in the books — and it wasn’t pretty. I started the session well, up about +$100, but got greedy and overleveraged at 6728 thinking Powell’s comments would flip the market bullish. I was wrong. That single forced trade cost me the day, dropping -$1175. To make things worse, I missed the chance to buy the actual bottom near 6702. If I’d stayed patient, today could’ve been a very different outcome. Lesson learned: don’t rush, don’t get over-reliant on gamma levels, and trust my own TA and the algo more. 📰 News Highlights S&P 500, NASDAQ pull back from records as Powell says stocks are overvalued 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6725 = Flip Bullish Below 6700 = Flip Bearish

Day 35 — Trading Only S&P Futures | SPX Hits RecordDay 35 of Trading Only S&P Futures is complete! Today was one of the smoother days. We opened with a bullish structure signal and a clean backtest near the MOB. From there, the market ripped higher. I didn’t catch the full move but I did nail the initial push, which gave me space to step away for most of the day. Later in the afternoon, I tried shorting with a tight stop and got clipped. Reentered closer to 6755 resistance, and that short worked out well, closing the day +$849.90. 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6705 = Remain Bullish Below 6690 = Flip Bearish 📰 News Highlights The S&P 500 just ended at a new record for the 28th time this year.

Day 32 — Trading Only S&P Futures | +$2,171 FOMC ReversalDay 32 of Trading Only S&P Futures is in the books! The day started rough — I went long off an X7 buy signal at the 1-min MOB, got greedy, and ended up down -180 early. Instead of forcing it, I stepped away. By the afternoon, I was mapping out key levels ahead of FOMC. That prep paid off. My orders for the “pop and drop” scenarios lined up perfectly with the signals. I made back my losses and finished +$2,171.

Day 31 — Trading Only S&P Futures | -$24 Near Breakeven“I actually started the day rough — down nearly -400 overnight after an oversized short on that early X7 sell signal. That put me close to my stop-loss limit, so I forced myself to wait for 2–3 confirmations before entering again. By slowing down and focusing only on high-probability trades, I was able to grind my way back to nearly breakeven — closing the day at just -24. The key lesson? Overleveraging at night cost me what could have been an easy green day. Discipline around size is just as important as reading the signals.” News Context: “On the macro side, Bessent said a 25 basis-point cut is already priced in. No surprises there, but it reinforces why the market isn’t reacting much to Fed talk at this point.” Key Levels for Tomorrow: “Here’s what I’ll be watching: Above 6660 = Stay bullish Below 6645 = Flip bearish

Day 30 — Trading Only S&P Futures | One-Month MarkDay 30 of Trading Only S&P Futures is in the books! I started the day a little rough, down -100 from an overnight trade, but patience paid off. Watching NQ DD buy signals kept me from forcing shorts early, and SPX gamma levels showed 6620 as the top. Once we hit it, I shorted and played the range for steady gains, finishing with a clean MOB bounce for +196.94. Big milestone here — 30 straight days of trading only the S&P Futures. The consistency is starting to show, and the lessons are stacking up fast. 📰 News Highlights VIX jumped 6% while the market gained 0.5% — an odd divergence worth watching. 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow= Above 6645 = Remain Bullish Below 6635 = Flip Bearish

Day 29 — Trading Only S&P Futures | From Red to GreenWelcome to Day 29 of Trading Only S&P Futures! The day started bearish, and my early shorts worked — until the market began spiking up and flipping bullish. Some of those positions hit stop-loss, so I stepped back and waited. At 6605 gamma resistance, I shorted again with conviction and rode the reversal back into positive territory, finishing the day at +91.81. This was a good reminder to not overstay trades when conditions are choppy, and to wait for the high-probability levels to do the heavy lifting. 📰 News Highlights U.S. SEPTEMBER MICHIGAN 5-YEAR EXPECTED INFLATION RISES 3.9%; EST. 3.4%; PREV. 3.5% 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6565 = Remain Bullish Below 6535 = Flip Bearish

Day 28 S&P Futures | -$78 Trading While Under the WeatherWelcome to Day 28 of Trading Only S&P Futures! Not my best day — I was feeling under the weather and missed the open. Took a trade at resistance that didn’t work out and left some limit orders higher up at GEX resistance levels. Most of the session I stayed on the sidelines, but my end-of-day orders finally filled and gave me a decent recovery. Sometimes the best decision when you’re not 100% is to step back and avoid forcing trades. 📰 News Highlights DOW CLOSES UP OVER 600 POINTS, VIX TUMBLES AS STOCKS END AT RECORD HIGHS AFTER CPI DATA 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6540 = Remain Bullish Below 6520 = Flip Bearish

Started the day red due to overnight trades, but once the session opened, everything lined up perfectly. I waited for resistance after spotting multiple X7 sell signals, shorted the top, and caught a 20-point move down to MOB.

Day 26 — Trading Only S&P Futures | BLS Revision TradeToday’s session lined up perfectly with the news. I came in prepared, knowing the BLS jobs revision was coming, and expected the number to print bigger than forecast. As the market opened, structure flipped bearish and we started trending down. I shorted resistance levels and traded the 1-min MOB for easy profits once the data came out — which confirmed the trade idea. Ended the day with +300.02. 📰 News Highlights US 2025 BLS Payrolls revision: -911K jobs, biggest downward revision on record 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6480 = Remain Bullish Below 6465 = Flip Bearish This is also one of the first weeks i am testing copytrading apps that allow me to trade 5-10 accounts at once and it just follows the first account. But I set my other accounts with bigger drawdowns to trade 3x the leader account test test how things work and i have 1 account that locks out after $150s because based on my study, if i lock out after $150, i will have a high success rate for the month. All of this is only possible after i tested run myself and my strategy where I am trading like a turtle and making sure I can trade for a full month with 70% + win rate and achieve consistency without blowing up the account. Once that was achieve, I can use any copy trading app to multiple my $200/day trades into 1000 by having all my other account follow my leader account. But don't rush to do this until you are successful. Remember to WALK, before you run.

Day 24 — Trading Only S&P Futures | +$264 Overnight WinWelcome to Day 24 of Trading Only S&P Futures! Today was all about patience and levels. I noticed the market had already made a huge move yesterday, so I bet it couldn’t push much further overnight. I shorted at 6525 and woke up to a $250+ profit by market open. That was enough for me — the plan worked perfectly, so I stayed mostly on the sidelines for the rest of the day. Both our overnight level and yesterday’s level played out exactly as expected, which made this a clean session.

Day 23 — Trading Only S&P Futures | +$200 & New Daily RuleWelcome to Day 23 of Trading Only S&P Futures! I locked in +200.45 on my competition account by shorting the MOB overnight and walking away once my target was hit. Later in the day, I came back to watch and ended up losing on other accounts — which sparked an important realization. From now on, I’m considering a rule: cap daily gains at 10% of account balance. For example, with a $2,000 account, my daily target should be $200 max. Anything more means overtrading, staying in the market too long, and risking unnecessary drawdowns. This might be the structure I need to keep consistent results. 📰 News Highlights U.S. JOB CUTS TOTAL 85,979 IN AUGUST, HIGHEST FOR THAT MONTH SINCE 2020 — CHALLENGER 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6470 = Remain Bullish Below 6450 = Flip Bearish

Day 22 — Trading Only S&P Futures & Market analysisWelcome to Day 22 of Trading Only S&P Futures! Today I kept things simple — waited for the 10am JOLTS report to set direction and only got long after we held the 1-min MOB. Even then, I stayed cautious since price was still under 6465 resistance. I focused on gamma levels, which played out clean on both the buy and sell side. The only real slip-up was a FOMO long, and that reminded me of an important rule: I should only size up when I’ve got 2+ confirmations. If I take a trade with less, it needs to be 1 contract only — risk management first. Closed the session with +256.25, ending the day disciplined and green. 📰 News Highlights U.S. JULY JOLTS JOB OPENINGS FALL TO 7.181M (EST. 7.380M, PREV. 7.357M) — LOWEST SINCE MARCH 2021 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6470 = Flip Bullish Below 6450 = Remain Bearish

Day 21 — Trading Only S&P Futures | -$417 Tilted LossDay 21 — Trading Only S&P Futures | -$417 Tilted LosWelcome to Day 21 of Trading Only S&P Futures! Today was a tough one — I turned a positive morning into a -417.18 loss. I started the day green, up about +150, but made the mistake of assuming the market had already bottomed at 6384. When it broke lower to 6374, I got stopped out at the true bottom of the day. Frustration set in, and I tilted. I put on a 10-contract short at the MOB, expecting a rejection, but the EOD MOC imbalance and strong news from Google pushed the market higher, blowing past my stop. The lesson today? Don’t fight the market, and never size up when you’re on tilt. 📰 News Highlights DOW ENDS DOWN 250 POINTS, VIX JUMPS AS STOCKS DROP TO KICK OFF SEPTEMBER 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6465 = Flip Bullish Below 6450 = Remain Bearish

Day 20 — Trading Only S&P Futures + Monthly resultsWelcome to Day 20 of Trading Only S&P Futures! Today’s session was all about patience and letting levels do the work. I started with the X3DD sell signal, but the move was too fast to size in big. Instead, I waited for price to break under 6485 (yesterday’s level) and added a couple of short positions. Later, I shifted focus to the 6463 bottom support — went long there a few times and those trades worked out great. By holding discipline and repeatedly trading around these levels, I closed the day with +365.28. 📌 This video is going up a little late — I’ve also asked ChatGPT to analyze my last month of trading data to highlight win rates, patterns, and improvements. That deeper analysis is also in the video. Here's the prompt "I have trade data from the last month that I’d like you to analyze. Please perform a detailed data analysis and highlight interesting insights, such as patterns, strengths, weaknesses, and potential improvements in my trading approach. A few important notes about my strategy and data: Risk/Reward: I typically trade using a 2x risk to 1x reward setup. This gives me more flexibility to turn trades into winners and avoid stop-loss hunts. Please calculate the win rate I need to achieve to be profitable with this risk/reward ratio. Trade Grouping: My trade count may appear higher than it actually is because sometimes I enter with multiple contracts and scale out at different price levels. If you see trades with the same entry or exit prices, please group them as a single trade. Analysis Goals: Show win rate, average profit/loss, risk-adjusted return, and drawdowns. Identify what worked well and what didn’t. Highlight any tendencies or biases (e.g., time of day, entry type, asset type). Suggest improvements based on the data. Please make the analysis as practical and data-driven as possible." 📈 Key Levels for Tomorrow: Above 6480 = Flip Bullish Below 6460 = Flip Bearish
