Day 61 — Trading Only S&P Futures | Focused on the Grand CupRecap & Trades
Day 61 — I shifted focus entirely to the Tradeify Grand Cup tourney account.
Instead of trading multiple accounts, I traded larger — up to 2 ES contracts — and kept everything clean and simple.
The morning structure was bearish, so I shorted early and caught 20–30 point moves before flipping at 10:40 for the reversal.
Throughout the day, I played structure and gamma zones just like we do inside the VX Algo system.
Lesson & Mindset
Sometimes, focus beats multitasking.
Trading one account with intention often leads to better results than juggling multiple screens.
And when you scale up, you realize that discipline matters more than direction.
News & Levels
Big takeaway from today — Fed’s Daly said the October rate cut was appropriate and they’ll keep an open mind for December.
That kind of language tells us the Fed is keeping optionality alive.
Tomorrow’s levels: Above 6910 bullish, below 6893 bearish.
Trade ideas
ES bounces off KEY support: levels to watchAfter the sizeable drop in index futures overnight, we have seen dip-buying right where we needed to: at 6789ish, a prior resistance and point of origin of the breakout. This level is key - let's see if index will hold its own above here. Break that and 6750 could be next. A more immediate support is now seen around 6820. In terms of resistance, the area between 6843 to 6851 is key. The index was testing this zone at the time of writing. If we have seen a genuine reversal, or at least a temp top, i would expect the sellers to defend their ground here. Failure to do so could see the index squeeze towards 6875 resistance.

Day 62 — Trading Only S&P Futures | Burry’s Big ShortRecap & Trades
Day 62 — started red from overnight orders but recovered fast by staying disciplined.
The market opened strong but started fading right at Bia’s resistance, so I shifted my bias and played structure reversals instead of fighting the trend.
By midday, I was back green, ending with a clean +$422 and 5-for-5 signal accuracy.
Lesson & Mindset
When big headlines like “Michael Burry shorting the market” hit, most traders panic.
But in reality, it’s about staying grounded in structure.
Noise doesn’t pay — consistency does.
News & Levels
Futures dropped as Burry’s short position went public and bubble talk resurfaced.
It’s the perfect reminder that sentiment flips fast — and you’ve got to react, not predict.
Tomorrow’s levels: Above 6890 bullish, below 6865 bearish.

Day 63 — Trading Only S&P Futures +$149.80Recap & Trades
Day 63 — a quiet, disciplined day.
I started late, didn’t see any A+ setups, so I mostly stayed out of the market.
The only positions came from overnight team orders that Bia and Ray placed — and they hit perfectly.
It’s a reminder that sometimes, letting the plan work without forcing it can be the best trade of all.
Lesson & Mindset
Not every day needs to be high action.
The best traders know when to trade — and when to protect their mental and financial capital.
If the market structure doesn’t align, patience is a position.
News & Levels
Futures pushed higher on headlines that Schumer and Jeffries are seeking a deal to end the government shutdown.
It’s keeping sentiment slightly bullish into the next session.
Tomorrow’s levels: Above 6870 bullish, below 6860 bearish.
Week 10.26 - 10.31 Updated after GAPSunday Globex gapped up and held over Value which when MAs caught up gave us pushes into upper Edge. Edge areas often act as reversal spots on first tests or after we spend time away from them which it tried to do today but we had good enough buying inside the Spike Base and smaller MA which took in the supply and gave a rotation out of Edge, as we saw price got into VAL and reversed without holding.
There really is no reason for this gap over the weekend and pretty much everyone knows it will be filled but what market showed us today is that we are not ready to come in to start the process for gap fill yet, we have no size operating up here with it being Month End and FOMC tomorrow, FOMC may shake things up BUT we may need to let market balance some up here around Edge and out of it before we can build up the supply and at the same time let MAs catch up to tighten up some to give us a better correction back in.
For now we can see price hold in and out of Edge with pushes towards above VAL and maybe even pushes into/over it BUT careful looking for too much continuation into new Value as we have sellers over the Edge and MAs are far which means any pushes towards/into/over could find their way back out of Value towards lower Edge and eventually once we have enough supply or Volume we can see a push back into/under lower Edge that wont come back out and instead either continue or start holding under to start the process to move for lower targets. For that we would need to be under 905 - 900 area or be able to catch good entry above the Edge and ride it in once market is ready for that.
To see acceptance in this new Range and see more strength we would need to see Medium MA catch up and get over the Edge to provide better support when price pushes into new Value so that it can push in and hold around VAL, until then Small MA acts as Support but it is not something to build big positions on. For now I will be focusing on reversal shorts until market can hold under Hourly MAs and under Intraday VWAP to give better continuation trades lower, I will most likely avoid longs here as they are very choppy and by waiting for good short entries eventually one of them will be the one that will take us back under the Edge and maybe even continue into lower Value so want to be ready for it unless we see strength inside this new Range and good holds over around above VAL.
We have month end coming up and FOMC tomorrow, FOMC is always important but Month end might be more of a mover this time around, being at ATHs so far extended away from MAs on Daily and GAP below we could see profit taking last few days which could give us the pressure to head back under the Edge which would also take stops to add extra pressure for when everyone will be trying to get out so will be watching for that either after FOMC or Thursday/Friday.
US Equities have this week left... Part IISo, yesterday heads up was given that the US Equities (and pretty much global equities generally) have this week left of bullishness.
This was observed with a TD Bear Setup perfected completion, coming into a stall. What was not mentioned was that the leading indicators of JNK, TIP and TLT were already showing signs of imminent breakdown (to understand about these three leads, refer to the book: Anatomy of the Bear by Russell Napier)
So just wanted to show it more obviously here.
While the US Equities were in a bit of a stall to close slightly positive, the three leads were clearly Bearish in the candlestick patterns with a single wipeout bearish, near marubozu, down candlestick that wiped out at least three days to two weeks of gain.
This like a slap in the morning while we are at the sweetest part of the dream.
Heads up, wake up!
Btw, with this kind of risk-off, crypto would not be spared either.
Short, sharp, sweet...
S&P500: Rebound S&P 500 futures managed to stage a modest rebound in yesterday’s session and are now showing renewed upward momentum. In our primary scenario, we expect magenta wave (5) to continue climbing and to ultimately mark a final high that completes the larger blue wave (III). Afterward, we anticipate a corrective phase via magenta wave (A), which should pull the index toward support at 6,371 points. However, if prices drop directly below the 6,371 points support, our alternative scenario will come into play. In that case, the alternative wave alt.(4) would likely extend further downward, finding its low within the magenta alternative Target Zone between 6,055 and 5,822 points.
S&P500: Rising?S&P 500 futures edged slightly lower in yesterday’s session but are expected to remain within the upward trajectory of magenta wave (5), which, under our primary scenario, is likely to continue moving higher. This advance would also complete the larger blue wave (III). Afterward, we anticipate a corrective phase in magenta wave (A), which should put renewed pressure on the index. At the same time, we are monitoring our alternative scenario, which suggests that magenta wave alt.(3) has not yet concluded. If prices drop below the support level at 6,371 points, this scenario will come into play. In that case, wave alt.(4) would likely extend further downward, reaching its low within the magenta alternative Target Zone between 6,055 and 5,822 points (probability: 30%).
Day 60 — Trading Only S&P Futures | 10-for-10 Green TradesStick around — at the end, I’ll break down the key levels I’m watching for tomorrow. Let’s go.
Recap & Trades
Day 60 — another clean session.
We started the day with a bearish structure, so my plan was simple: wait for price to reach the 1-minute MOB and short it.
Every trade lined up with VX Algo confirmations — short, lock profit, repeat.
I was already up after the first few setups, and once I realized I was 10-for-10 on trades, I stopped.
Lesson & Mindset
This was a great reminder that it’s not about trading more — it’s about trading better.
Consistency doesn’t come from being in the market all day; it comes from having discipline to stop when the job’s done.
News & Levels
The quiet story today — liquidity is draining from the system.
US bank reserves just fell to $2.8 trillion, the lowest since 2020. That’s worth watching closely in the weeks ahead.
Tomorrow’s levels: Above 6915 bullish, below 6895 bearish.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday we found the daily low at 6850. This happened right before the end of the day and rallied into 6893 area and overnight we have our low at 6888 with our high at 6906. We have tested 6906 2x overnight and as I write this, we are giving it another attempt. I have stated all week that 6708 is our bull/bear line. You can see that Institutions have been buying overnight at the 6893 level. IF price loses this level, we will have a chance to ride higher, IF price can reclaim this level. Ideally, we can flush 6888 maybe down to 6882 and then reclaim 6888 to move higher. IF price clears 6908, we need to hold it or flush it down to 6901 and reclaim quickly.
It is the last day of the month, and I think we continue higher today with 6914, 6923, 6930 being the first targets. IF price holds 6930 end of day, we could rip higher next week to kick off November.
Key Levels Today -
1. Loss of 6901 and reclaim (Micro Level Reclaim but might be all we get)
2. Loss of 6893 and reclaim
3. Loss of 6888 and reclaim
4. Loss of 6877 and reclaim
Below these levels and we will probably be selling off pretty hard, and I would probably let price find a support level below and build a base to move higher.
Key Support Levels - 6901, 6893, 6888, 6877, 6865, 6850
Key Resistance Levels - 6908, 6914, 6923, 6930, 6944, 6953
IF price loses a level and you are not able to enter, wait for price to find another key level above, build a base and allow that level to become support. Then find a spot to enter for a level-to-level move.
I will post an update around 10am EST.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday we had some afternoon volatility. Prior to 2pm EST we had a big battle at the 6930 level. This level was finally lost after FOMC and we sold off very quickly into the 6901, 6889 levels. This happened very fast and as I stated on my Daily Trade Plan that we were looking for the flush and reclaim of 6889, 6901 (6908 being the safer option). I did not take a trade in the afternoon but watching price action it would have been difficult without having a large stop loss in place.
At 5:30pm I wrote the following note:
"Price back tested the 6937 level we sold off from, and we need to hold 6908, 6894 in the overnight session. There is a bull/bear line at 6908 that was battled today. My general lean is that we need to continue lower to the 6864-67 level or close the gap at 6827 and then move higher. We are still in a bullish trend and nothing bearish changes the trend until we lose 6690. I think we can continue higher, IF price can flush lower, close the gap and then move higher and clear 6950."
What has transpired overnight? We made our overnight high of 6953 and have held the 6901 level. As of typing this post, we are currently at 6906 and about to test the 6901 level for the 3x overnight. We may get one more bounce here or we may lose the 6901 level and have to test the 6881 (yesterday's low). We still have a large gap below that needs to be filled.
My general lean for today is that we can lose 6881 and reclaim to move higher and back test 6901. This could continue us higher. Ideally, we would get a nice flush of 6865-67 levels and reclaim to move us higher. We could have both happen today.
Key Levels Today -
1. Loss of 6908 and reclaim (This is the bull/bear line in this range between 6881-6953)
2. Loss of 6901 and reclaim (Weaker level now)
3. Loss of 6881 and reclaim
4. Loss of 6867-65 and reclaim
Below these levels and we will probably be selling off pretty hard, and I would probably let price find a support level below and build a base to move higher.
Key Support Levels - 6908, 6901, 6889,6878, 6867, 6857, 6841, 6827, 6812
Key Resistance Levels - 6908. 6917, 6931, 6937, 6953, 6960, 6980
IF price loses a level and you are not able to enter, wait for price to find another key level above, build a base and allow that level to become support. Then find a spot to enter for a level-to-level move.
I will post an update around 10am EST.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday at 4:05pm I wrote the following note on the Daily Trade Plan "Price has come back down to the VWAP session price at 6922. 6917 is a good support level and any reclaim of 6923 should give us a chance to retest the 6930, 6946 levels. FOMC tomorrow and I do not anticipate price losing 6917, 6908 in the overnight session. Any flush of 6901 and reclaim should give us a nice opportunity for some points."
Overnight session low was 6922 and the overnight high is 6950. We bounced off 6930 around 5:30am and have been respecting this trendline all week. Today is FOMC & Big Tech Earnings after the bell. As I have mentioned many times in my trade plans that when ES sells off you need to just get out the way. October 10th, 13th, 16th, 22nd are the 4 big sell offs we have had this month. I expect another big sell off this week or early next week. The RSI is very extended and since we have end of month in 2 days. We could easily keep moving higher. I do expect some pullbacks for us to grab points over the coming days.
We could easily reach 6980 today or fill the gap of Sunday's open at 6827. That is how unpredictable FOMC can be. Usually, the first move after FOMC can be a trap. Either way, today I would not trade unless your edge presents itself. I will be trying to grab points before noon today if at all possible!
Key Levels Today -
1. Loss of 6930 and reclaim
2. Loss of 6922 and reclaim
3. Loss of 6901 and reclaim with (6908 being a level to be reclaimed for a safer entry)
4. Loss of 6889 and reclaim
Below these levels and we will probably be selling off pretty hard, and I would probably let price find a support level below and build a base to move higher.
Key Support Levels - 6930, 6922, 6917, 6908, 6901, 6889,6878, 6867, 6857, 6841, 6827, 6812

Our overnight session high is 6917 (which we are coming into this area as I type this). We still have a massive gap that should be filled at some point this week. We have a lot of earnings, FOMC, Economic Data and Trump in Asia tour. It is also the end of the month with Institutions looking to keep price moving higher and trapping retail investors to fill their liquidity needs.
We are very extended on RSI with all time frames needing a pullback to reset and continue higher. We can sell off all the way down to 6810 and still be in a bullish trend. My lean is that we fill the gap and work our way down to the 6812-17 level and then continue higher. Ideally, we would sell off hard, scare retail investors, lose yesterday's low at 6867, reclaim and squeeze us higher. That could take a couple of days to do that, or we could get a rug pull any time.
Key Levels Today -
1. Loss of 6908 and reclaim
2. Loss of 6901 and reclaim
3. Loss of 6889 and reclaim
4. Loss of 6878 and reclaim
5. Loss of 6867 and reclaim
6. Loss of 6841 and reclaim
Key Support Levels - 6908, 6901, 6889,6878, 6867, 6857, 6841, 6827, 6812
Key Resistance Levels - 6917, 6923, 6930, 6946
We have to view price action as bullish until the trend changes. That would need a loss of 6720, 6690 to become bearish. Until then I anticipate the overnight gap closing, losing the 6812 level and reclaim would be a great spot, but we can easily move up with the loss of the key levels above and reclaims to grab points at.
In summary, IF price clears 6917 and then price can't hold 6906, we could flush lower. You can see the white trendline that has been respected overnight and below 6901, we are looking at 6889 to flush and reclaim. Below there and the loss of 6867 (yesterday's low) would be a great spot for some points.
I will post an update around 10am EST.

ES UpdateNo rate cut in December? WHo cares? META missed earnings? Who cares? MSFT down after earnings? WHo cares?
The melt up must continue until the daily gets overbought, lol. Gotta set up for the China trade deal news.
You can see that the algos did sell some today, but futures are flat right now despite META miss.
Note: 30 year bond yields went back up to Sept levels because the December cut was priced in. Mortgage rates will actually go up, not down from this cut.
ES (SPX, SPY) Analysis, Key Levels, Setups for Wed (Oct 29)As we look at the current market conditions, the price is hovering just below the 6939-6946 resistance level. We should anticipate a test of this ceiling soon. A solid acceptance above 6946 on the 15-minute chart would likely trigger a movement towards the 6965-6975 range, which we can expect to see during the afternoon session in NY.
In terms of our range path, if we see rejection in the 6939-6946 zone, we will need to monitor for rotations between 6939, 6928, and 6916. A clean break beyond any of these levels will help establish our direction moving forward.
On the downside, a decisive 15-minute close below the 6916-6912 area could lead us back to the 6900-6896 levels. If that support fails, we could see a drop to 6892-6888, and then down to 6883-6880. Persistent acceptance below our S5 level would promote a further decline towards 6868-6864 and potentially trigger the gap references.
Lastly, I want to highlight that we should expect a compression-to-expansion behavior in the market. Thus, the first acceptance beyond R1 or below S0 will likely dictate the market's direction for the day.

Day 58 — Trading Only S&P Futures | +$304 & Easy FOMC GainsRecap & Trades
Day 58 — clean and easy.
We had some conflicting signals early, but once the structure aligned, it became a straightforward session.
The key takeaway today was how FOMC movement tends to cap between 30–60 points, which makes it easy to plan trades if you size stops properly.
Overall, simple setups, small size, steady gain — +$304 for the day.
Lesson & Mindset
You don’t have to trade aggressively to make progress.
Low-effort, high-consistency days are often where real edge compounds.
I’m learning that keeping your head calm on choppy news-driven days is what separates pros from gamblers.

Powell’s comments cooled expectations for further rate cuts, causing the Dow to fade late in the session.
