ES- August 14th - Daily Trade Plan7:25am EST Price has built up an overnight base between 6476 and 6490. PPI coming out this am and we could keep grinding higher or Ideally we get a loss of 6477 and reclaim to setup a nice opportunity for 10+ points and retest the 6502 high yesterday with potential upside targets of 6514, 6525, 6539. I will update my thoughts after PPI is released. I am first looking for a flush below overnight low and reclaim or we will need to see a quick flush of lower levels at 6452, 6437 or levels shown by the yellow support levels on the chart as areas we could flush and move higher. Below 6397 and we could continue lower. IF, price is falling fast, I would get out the way and let price find support at a level and put in a good base to build and work higher. My lean is we continue higher but first we need a flush to scare holders and push prices higher as we head into Friday OPEX. I could see us potentially spiking to 6502, 6514 after PPI then come back into the overnight range after the NYSE open. I won't be guessing or chasing, I will just be focused on how price acts and will wait for my entry to enter. IF, price loses 6437 area and doesn't reclaim, it might need to head to 6409 or 6391 area to setup a strong back test. Update around 10am EST.

Tomorrow’s Playbook: Levels, News Bias & Scenarios 08/14/2025Summary: Bias = Neutral→Bullish while above 6,464–6,466 and the 15m 200-EMA (6,459). A clean 5m/15m acceptance above 6,491/6,500 favors continuation; otherwise expect a data-driven sweep into 6,475–6,468 to test demand. Scenarios & Triggers (rule-based) 1) Continuation breakout • Trigger: 5m close > 6,491 → probe 6,496–6,500. • Validation: 15m acceptance above 6,500 (no immediate rejection). • Targets: 6,502–6,505 first; stretch 6,512/6,520 if momentum persists. • Management: If price reclaims 6,491 from above after a retest, momentum likely intact. 2) Rotation to demand (buy-the-dip if structure holds) • Trigger: Rejection at 6,489–6,491 with 5m close back inside range. • Path: 6,482 → 6,475.5 → 6,468; watch order-flow absorption or an FVG fill inside 6,464–6,466. • Validation: Bullish 5m close from the box and 15m structure holds above 6,459. • Targets on bounce: Return to 6,489–6,491, then 6,496–6,500. 3) Bearish flip (lower-probability without data shock) • Trigger (strict): 15m bearish confirmation and sustained acceptance below 6,459 (15m 200-EMA). • Path: Open the door to a deeper mean-reversion leg toward prior breakout bases (next map would be built after the break). • Note: No shorts without that 15m confirmation per protocol. Educational only — not financial advice.

Day 7 Trading Only S&P Futures — Trusting Structure Over GreedWelcome to Day 7 of Trading Only S&P Futures! Today was a mixed day with a small loss of -$16.65. I started strong, up $133 early on, but after a big push up, I expected the market structure to flip bearish and missed a key long entry. Later, I shorted the 6451 resistance but let greed get the best of me, holding too long and turning a winner into a loss. The key lesson? Trust the market structure and the double down (DD) signals — don’t fight the system. 📈 What you’ll learn Why trusting structure and signals beats guessing the market How greed can sabotage even well-planned trades The importance of taking profits on key moves Reading VX Algo signals for better trade timing ⏰ Timestamps 0:00 — Intro & Day 7 Recap 0:30 — Trading Wins & Mistakes 1:30 — VX Algo Signal Review 2:30 — Market News & Impact 3:30 — Key Levels for Tomorrow 🔔 VX Algo Signals (9:30am – 2pm EST) 8:29 AM Market Structure flipped bullish on VX Algo X3! 10:10 AM VXAlgo NQ X1 Buy Signal 10:20 AM VXAlgo NQ X1DD Buy Signal (double buy) 11:30 AM VXAlgo ES X1 Sell Signal 11:50 AM VXAlgo ES X1 Sell Signal 12:10 PM VXAlgo NQ X1 Sell Signal (double sell) 12:40 PM VXAlgo NQ X1 Sell Signal 📰 News Highlights S&P 500 closes at a new record high. 🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow Above 6410 = Remain Bullish Below 6390 = Bearish

ES - August 13th - Opening Session Trade PlanToday's CPI was not as complex as I have seen in other releases. While price tried to shake out longs by ripping 40pts at the 8:30am CPI release, sold off and held structure support at 6410 and continued higher and have met 2 out of 3 targets I had planned for the week. I posted the following this morning. "IF, price can hold the 6411-14 area, we should be able to put in a nice bull flag and continue up after the 9:30am NYSE open. IF, price losses the 6410 level, we might need to try and dip below yesterdays low at 6387 and then rally up. We are still targeting the levels above at 6452, 6468, 6480 to hit this week." We hit 6409.75 and took off and hit our 6452 & 6468 targets! What is next for ES with PPI coming out tomorrow and OPEX on Friday. I expect to see more complex trading the next couple of days. ES closed at the highs and are only 12pts from our last target of 6480 this week. ES can continue higher with price putting in structure between 6430-6468. The yellow support levels I have outlined are areas we could see price test, recover, reclaim and move us higher. Ideally, we can set a low overnight that we flush and recover to get us to the 6480, 6493+ targets. IF, price needs to cool off, we would want to see it go no lower than 6430 area with a reclaim of the 6437 support level. That would be a healthy pullback and keep structure moving higher. There is nothing short term bearish until we lose the 6391 level. IF, price does go that low, we should see an initial bounce, but would be a warning sign. The RSI on the 8hr chart is currently at 80, which alone isn't a signal that price will reverse, it is something to keep an eye on. We could get a rug pull tomorrow after the PPI release all the way back down to the 6390 level, IF, we do and ES is selling fast, wait for price to build structure around 6380-85 level and enter once it clears the 6390-92 level. I will post an update and Daily Trade plan by 8am EST based on overnight price action. You can reference my trade plan from today by looking at the related publication section to the right and also see my weekly overview I posted on Monday am. Follow to get my daily trade plan.

Are We Replaying the Dot Com Era?I’m completely unbiased here - more so curious - but today’s S&P 500 setup looks eerily similar to the late 1990s. In 1996 and 1997, the index posted back-to-back gains of over 20%, just as 2023 and 2024 have done. Then, in 1998, we saw a sharp 20% pullback - much like the one we’ve had in April of 2025. If you overlay that late-’90s fractal on today’s chart, the trajectory points to an S&P 500 level near 8,200 by early 2027. The bullish case practically writes itself: strong GDP growth, resilient corporate earnings, AI-driven productivity gains, a still-accommodative liquidity backdrop, and investors willing to pay up for growth narratives—just as they did in the dot-com era. The “there is no alternative” (TINA) mentality toward equities was alive then, and it’s alive now. If the trend holds, the next couple of years could deliver staggering upside. That said, it’s purely an observation - not a prediction. A decisive break below the key rising support trendlines would negate this bullish scenario and shift me to a cautious or neutral stance. Until then, the pattern is worth keeping an eye on.

ES Fails to Break ATH – Possible Reversal Ahead? The S&P 500 futures (ES) made another attempt at the all-time high but failed to push through. This rejection at resistance could signal potential exhaustion from buyers. Key points I’m watching: Strong rejection at ATH zone. Momentum slowing on shorter timeframes. Increased selling pressure in the last few sessions. Potential for a pullback toward recent support levels. If sellers step in with volume, we could see a healthy correction before any new ATH attempt. On the flip side, a strong breakout above this level with sustained buying could invalidate the short bias.

ES - August 12th - Daily Trade Plan9:15am - Daily Trade Plan I wrote last night that " CPI is tomorrow at 8:30am and my lean is that we hold today's low overnight and continue to move sideways between 6387-6414. Ideally, we can flush down below 6380 and reclaim today's lows of 6387. The levels in yellow and a reclaim of the white trendline are the levels I am watching to trap shorts and move us up higher and out of the range." Price set an overnight low of 6392 and we touched that level 3X overnight and into this am. You can see that price engaged the trendline areas, flushed below and then rallied. At 7:45am we started to build momentum and when CPI came out we rallied to 6440 area and are currently back testing the breakout zone. IF, price can hold the 6411-14 area, we should be able to put in a nice bull flag and continue up after the 9:30am NYSE open. IF, price losses the 6410 level, we might need to try and dip below yesterdays low at 6387 and then rally up. We are still targeting the levels above at 6452, 6468, 6480 to hit this week. Follow me to be notified of my daily trade plan.

ES - August 12th Daily Plan - Session OpenWe kicked off the week with a choppy session that ended closer to the lows of the session range. 6387 - 6432 with 6414 being the magnet in between. We cant get moving to the upside until we can clear this choppy range. Price can still continue sideways until a catalyst breaks it out of this range. CPI is tomorrow at 8:30am and my lean is that we hold today's low overnight and continue to move sideways between 6387-6414. Ideally, we can flush down below 6380 and reclaim today's lows of 6387. The levels in yellow and a reclaim of the white trendline are the levels I am watching to trap shorts and move us up higher and out of the range. We will most likely get some fake outs tomorrow and I will only trade the reclaim of today's low or a level lower. I will update the plan tomorrow am before 8am EST and can provide more thoughts based on the overnight session action. Still bullish above 6333, but a loss of 6360 could be a signal that we need to go further down before we can keep momentum higher. Ideally, we build a base overnight, flush today's low and rally up to the 6430 resistance in the range. Make sure to follow if you want to receive notifications of when I post my daily plan.

ES - August 11th - Daily Trade Plan7:30am EST - August 11th I have posted my weekly trade plan that is available to read in the related publication section of this week daily plan posts. I still believe that price can keep moving higher to my weekly targets of 6452, 6482. We have some economic numbers being released and its OPEX. In the overnight session price dropped down to 6413 and bounced to 6430. When we came back down price was bought back up around 6408 and we put in a nice reclaim of the overnight low session level and rallied to 6425 around 7am. I am looking for price to flush the 6402 level (possible 6397-99) and reclaim that level for a good 10pt+ move. I have marked the levels in yellow that I will be watching for a nice reaction to grab some points today. (6402, 6391, 6379) are the main levels I want to look for price to flush and reclaim. IF, price does break out before a pull back this am. You can look for a back test of the 6430 level as a potential entry on strength. I will post more of an update around 10am once the NYSE opens and we see what price is trying to do in the first 30 mins.

ES Weekly Trading Plan - August 11th-15th, 2025We have some upcoming key events this week. CPI - 8:30am EST - August 12th PPI - 8:30am EST - August 14th OPEX - EOD - August 15th As you can see on the 4hr chart, we have a very simple and strong up trend that institutions have been buying at the yellow lines since we bottomed around 6240 August 1st. IF, price is to continue to be bullish, we should see some fake outs this week and buyers should step in at the areas in yellow. IF, we lose the 6333 level, then the bullish structure will have changed to short term bearish, until we can retest the 6240 level and reclaim. I still believe that price can hit the green levels (6452,6482) this week. Big Picture, we are still in an uptrend, and we should be looking for opportunities on the daily chart to find where the institutions may be stepping in to drive price higher. Follow for my Daily Plan that I will post by 8am EST each day this week.
