Traders Alert ! May 31,2024Traders Alert ! If the Front Month S+P 500 Futures Contract June 2024 (ESM24), closes below 5216.75, then a potential waterfall decline could occur. Traders are advised to closely monitor the market this afternoon near the close, as Month- End Position Squaring, especially those on the wrong side of this market, as well as the two day weekend,could heighten market volatility dramatically during the first week of June.

Dumpster FireWith the S&Ps inability to hold above the overnight low today, inflation data on tap for tomorrow, and an almost insane amont of crowding in every good trade available I think it is time to pay for our hubris. NVDA trade is showing cracks, MSFTs buyback program seemingly on hold and a vix close above the 50 day tells me we are in for some short term pain. Extended personal outlook: *this is not finical advice, I'm not a financial advisor! The fact that FED members are even mentioning rate hikes, even if to just dissuade us that the next move will not be one, should be alarming. Maybe they will give us a transitory rate hike. Probably not this year, but by year end, I expect the market to catch on to the fact that rates are going higher.

The Macro Narrative of the S&PThe S&P 500 is in a bit of a pickle in terms of orderflow. Looking at the Cumulative Delta Volume (CVD) and price, relative to April's highs, we see that the deltas have peeled off significantly. In this case, the CVD is showing exhaustion. Bulls are, perhaps, not as serious as before. This will give some solace to market short-sellers, though I would prefer to see absorption where CVD makes a higher high and the price does not. In any case, the swing in deltas from staggeringly positive to staggeringly negative gives us some insight into what the "big boys" are thinking. It is my opinion that we will see MES (and SPX) in the upper 4900-5000 range in the coming weeks. Summers are notoriously slow for trading, so it will be interesting to see how this develops.

Bounce by ES 5180 LONG from there.This is the additional Pivot level we added to the Indicator CD_Camarilla All_Levels, so it is the extreme of the extreme buy level. Buying at this level S6 is very safe, just like selling an ALL time High R6, which has never cost me. If you dob't know about The Pivots study my Ideas. We had. run for 3 months with over 99 trades before we had a loss ( We sold R5, and the FOMC made a surprise RATE change which aused the market to go up for 2 months. Lesson to be learned there is #1 always safe a stop outside the pivots range, a catastropic stop, not a "tight stop" whch the MM use to tforce overtrading. #2 Don't trade, as a rule, before an FOMC announcement. These are swing trades based on 60" to 6 hour charrts, The Pivots don't show up in daily and above charts. If you understand what The Pivots are and how they work you know why. a days pivot range is created based on the previous intraday Pivots range. My trades are also based on many other factors, elliot waves, TTM Squeeze Pro, Candlesticks, etc. In a 6 hour chart we have a shooting star to continue down. No doubt we will explore S5 and possibly S6. I have been posting Ideas for 8 years here. Look at my past posts.. 2019 i predicted we would go up for 5 more Ellitot waves before the first ATH Jan 22. My next major post/Idee was March 2022, I shared that we had a "Tripple Thrust parrern from 2010 we went up on 3 sets of 5 waves up, corrected down from a lwer high, down for 6000 points on the NQ. Then I posted we would continue up as part of Elliots, Grand Supercycle Bull Market to new ATH which we have all seen. If you like my Ideas please follow me. I called this a LONG, but don't buy before S5 or S6 next week.

#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 5.28 - 5.31Last Week : Last week Market opened over VAH and spent all week building Supply over it, as discussed in Sunday Prep since we were at ATH with no over hang we needed to wait for Supply to build up for any meaningful back fill of previous areas and that 5341 - 5290 might be our Range where price will want to stay around and keep returning into for some time while it builds that Supply. On Thursday we ended up pushing inside the Edge but failed to find acceptance in it and the push back out gave us the flush of the inventory filling the buyers into the Value, even with how strong the move looked with break/hold under Key Support on Friday Globex failed to hold under it and we found our way back inside 5341 - 5290 Range where we were able to push back into the Means for the Range where we closed the week in VAH. This Week : Few things this week, we have Month End, Settlement changes from T2 to T1 which we don't know just yet how that will impact the trading and we had Holiday yesterday which pushed us over VAH and we are again building up Supply over it. For now we are inside T2 Range which was Thursday I believe the change goes in effect Today or this week, we are right around Previous Days Range and 5341 - 36 already showed us this morning that it's acting properly as good Resistance. So far going into this week Thursdays flush showed us that don't have stronger buyers up here just yet who want to keep paying over Value and keep pushing us into new range above and that even with strong flush we didn't have enough Supply to accept under 5295 - 90 to continue filling more buyers into VAL. This tells me again that market may want to stay in this 5341 - 5290 Intraday Range and balance around it, we have to be ready to spend quite a bit of time in these areas and trade around them until market will show us clear acceptance and intensions of moving Ranges and that can take some time because we are in a Key Spot on higher time frames we are at tops of Daily/Weekly Balances without finding acceptance above and without having the Supply just yet to move under the Middle of those balances which is around the 5290-80s area. Plan is to continue trading 5341 - 5290 Range level to level just like last week with moves out of its 5324.75 - 20.75 // 5310.50 - 06.50 Means and then returns back towards/inside them. Failures to accept over 5341 - 36 will likely find their way back to/under 24.75 - 20.75, pushes under 5310.50 - 06.50 could also be absorbed under and find their way back to/over 10.50 - 06.50 and inside the Means we could balance. We are in lower volume times so also have to give time for the moves to properly set up and be ready to correct back. Levels to watch : Current Range 5341 - 5290.25 5341 - 36 Key Resistance 5324.75 - 20.75 // 5310.50 - 06.50 Means for the Range 5295.50 - 90.25 Key Support If Accept over 5341 - 36 next Range 5386.50 - 5336 5356 - 52 // 5370.50 - 66.50 Means and Edge Top 5386.50 - 81.50 Key Resistance If Accept under 5295.50 - 90.25 lower Range 5295.50 - 5244.75 5279.25 - 75.25 // 5264.75 - 60.75 Means and VAL 5249.75 - 44.75 Key Support

Options Blueprint Series: Backspreads as a Portfolio Hedge1. Introduction Backspreads are a versatile options strategy as they allow traders to benefit from significant moves in the underlying asset, particularly when there is an expectation of increased volatility. 2. Understanding Backspreads A backspread is an advanced options strategy involving the sale of a small number of options and the purchase of a larger number of out-of-the-money options. This setup creates a position that benefits from large price movements in the underlying asset. 3. Generic Uses of Backspreads Backspreads offer traders a flexible tool to capitalize on significant price movements and shifts in market volatility. Here are some common uses: Market Sentiment Alignment: Bullish Sentiment (Call Backspreads): Traders use call backspreads when they expect a significant upward move. This strategy involves selling a smaller number of lower-strike call options and buying a larger number of higher-strike call options. Bearish Sentiment (Put Backspreads): Conversely, put backspreads are used when traders anticipate a significant downward move. This involves selling a smaller number of higher-strike put options and buying a larger number of lower-strike put options. Volatility Trading: Backspreads are particularly useful in trading volatility. They create positions with positive Vega, meaning they benefit from increases in implied volatility. This makes backspreads an excellent choice during times of market uncertainty or expected volatility spikes. 4. Hedging an Equity Portfolio using with S&P 500 Futures Put Backspreads Put backspreads offer an effective way to hedge a long equity portfolio against sharp downward moves. By setting up a put backspread, traders can create a position that not only provides downside protection but also benefits from increased market volatility. Setting Up a Put Backspread for Hedging: Sell 1 OTM Put: The initial step involves selling one out-of-the-money (OTM) put option. This option will generate a premium, which can be used to offset the cost of the puts that will be purchased. Buy 2 Lower OTM Puts: Next, purchase two lower OTM put options. These options will provide the necessary downside protection. Depending on the strike selected, the cost of these puts will be fully or partially covered by the premium received from selling the higher-strike put. Constructing a Positive Vega Position: The structure of the put backspread results in a position with positive Vega. This characteristic is particularly valuable as volatility typically rises during periods of sharp declines. Risk Profile: Below is the risk profile of a put backspread used for hedging purposes as described in section #6 below. 5. Market Scenarios Understanding how a put backspread behaves under different market scenarios is crucial for effective trade management and risk mitigation. Here, we explore the potential outcomes: Market Moving Up or Staying the Same: Flat P&L If the market moves up or remains around the current level, the put backspread will likely expire worthless. Market Moving Down Sharply: Increased Profitability If the market experiences a sharp decline, the put backspread would potentially become profitable. Impact of Increased Volatility: Enhanced Gains A rise in implied volatility benefits the put backspread as higher volatility increases the value of the bought puts more than the sold put, adding to the overall profitability of the strategy. Maximum Risk and Trade Management: Maximum Risk: Limited to the difference between the strike prices minus the net credit received (or plus the net debit paid). Trade Management: It is essential to actively manage the position. 6. Trade Example To illustrate the application of a put backspread as a hedge, let's consider a detailed trade example using S&P 500 Futures Options. Trade Rationale: Current Market Condition: The S&P 500 Futures have just created a new all-time high, indicating that the market is at a crucial juncture. From this point, the market could either continue its upward trajectory or experience a severe change of direction. Implied Volatility (VIX): The VIX, which measures the implied volatility of options, is currently very low at 11.99. This low volatility environment makes it an ideal time to enter a backspread, as any future increase in volatility will significantly benefit the position. Trade Setup: Underlying Asset: S&P 500 Futures Current Price: 5447 Strategy: Put Backspread Expiration Date: December 2024 Specifics: Sell 1 OTM Put: Sell 1 4600 put option Buy 2 Lower OTM Puts: Buy 2 4100 put options Entry Price: Sell 1 4600 Put: Receive $2,160 premium per contract (43.2 points) Buy 2 4100 Puts: Pay $1,068.5 premium each; total $2,137 for two contracts (21.37 points x 2) Net Cost: The net cost of the backspread is the premium paid for the bought puts minus the premium received from the sold put. Net Cost: $2,137 (paid) - $2,160 (received) = $23 net credit As seen below, we are using the CME Group Options Calculator in order to generate fair value prices and Greeks for any options on futures contracts. Maximum Risk: 500 – 0.46 = 499.54 points (distance between strike prices minus the net credit received). 7. Importance of Risk Management Risk management is a fundamental aspect of successful trading and investing. It involves identifying, analyzing, and mitigating potential risks to protect capital and maximize returns. When implementing a put backspread as a portfolio hedge, understanding and applying robust risk management practices is crucial. Using Stop Loss Orders and Hedging Techniques: Stop Loss Orders: Placing stop loss orders helps limit potential losses by automatically closing a position when the market reaches a certain price level. This ensures that losses do not exceed a predetermined amount, providing a safety net against adverse market movements. Hedging Techniques: Utilizing hedging strategies, such as combining put backspreads with other options or futures contracts, can provide additional layers of protection. This approach can help manage risk more effectively by diversifying exposure and reducing the impact of unfavorable market conditions. Importance of Avoiding Undefined Risk Exposure: Defined Risk Strategies: Employing strategies with clearly defined risk parameters, such as put backspreads, ensures that potential losses are limited and known in advance. This contrasts with strategies that expose traders to unlimited risk, which can lead to catastrophic losses. Position Sizing: Properly sizing positions based on risk tolerance and account size is essential. This involves calculating the maximum potential loss and ensuring it aligns with the trader's risk management plan. Precise Entries and Exits: Entry Points: Entering trades at optimal levels, based on technical analysis, support and resistance and UFO levels, and market conditions, enhances the probability of success. In the case of put backspreads, entering when volatility is low and market conditions are favorable increases the potential for profitability. Exit Points: Setting clear exit points, including profit targets and stop loss levels, helps manage risk and lock in gains. Regularly reviewing and adjusting these levels based on market developments ensures that positions remain aligned with the trader's overall strategy. Continuous Monitoring and Adjustment: Regular Review: Continuously monitoring market conditions, position performance, and risk parameters is essential for effective risk management. This involves staying informed about economic events, market trends, and changes in volatility. Adjustments: Making timely adjustments to positions, such as rolling options, adjusting stop loss levels, or hedging with additional instruments, helps manage risk dynamically and adapt to changing market conditions. By incorporating these risk management practices, traders can effectively use put backspreads to hedge their portfolios and protect against significant market downturns. 8. Conclusion In summary, put backspreads offer a powerful tool for hedging long equity portfolios, especially in low volatility environments and/or when markets are at all-time highs. By understanding the mechanics of put backspreads, their application in various market scenarios, and the importance of active risk management, traders can enhance their ability to protect their investments and capitalize on market opportunities.

#ES_F Day Trading Prep Week 5.19 - 5.24Last Week : Last week Market opened under the VAL of this 5368 - 5207 HTF Range with our Sellers being in Value/VAL and Cost Basis/Supports at the lower Edge. We spent few days consolidating between VAL and the Edge with a move on Tuesday that first failed to hold under 5230s pre market and then afternoon push over VAL trapping the shorts under Value. Wednesday data brought in Volume and market continued higher through next Key Area putting the squeeze on and pushing us in/through VAH, from there one more target was left to test the Edge and see if we push through it and accept or we get a response in opposite direction, discussed last week before the tag that first tests of these bigger HTF areas often provide good response in opposite direction which gave us a tag/ supply build under Edge and a move back to VAH with Friday closing the week with filling the buyers with that Supply around VAH. This Week : Few things we know so far going into this week, of course depending where we will open and what we do in Globex but for now we are inside 5341 - 5290 Intraday Range, we are inside T2 Range with buyers in/under VAH and Trapped Supply/Sellers still could be over 30s and closer to the Edge Bottom of 5348. So far it looks like market has chosen 5368 - 5207 to be our HTF Range going forward until we will be ready to move out of it again which tells me we may spend time balancing around it back and forth while we distribute and fill orders as we will have buying and selling in it from Trapped Shorts and Trapped Longs/New Longs who will be looking for continuation out of this Range. For us to see continuation higher out of this HTF Range we would need to either build a base under the Edge bottom or see a strong bid through it trapping more sellers under AND start balancing over 5256 - 52 area without coming back in, until then holding under the Edge will mean weakness BUT it doesn't mean we will just sell back down that easily as well, we have to consider that we are at ATH with no overhang above us and no real Volume built up here just yet that would give us stronger moves lower. With that in mind there is a chance that we might spend some time in and around this current Intraday Range of 5341 - 5290.25 building that Supply. As been mentioned over last few weeks, have to be careful of smaller ranges and quicker/smaller moves, especially now that we might have both sides starting to be trapped and looking to be trading in and out of their size around here. IF Volume does come in and we accept back inside the Value and start holding under VAH we could see a move all the way back towards VAL to fill in the buyers in those areas, our Size Shorts would be trapped in Value and under VAL where we could expect absorption if we get there but careful as it could take time there as well. IF we don't get the Volume to push us through the above Edge or the Volume to give us acceptance and continuation under 5295.50 - 90.25 Key Support then we could spend quite some time around this 5341 - 5290 Intraday Range with pushes out of it being bought or sold back inside it. Levels to Watch : Current Range 5341 - 5290.25 5341 - 36 Key Resistance 5324.75 - 20.75 // 5310.50 - 06.50 Means for the Range 5295.50 - 90.25 Key Support If we are to just balance around this intraday range then we could see pushes out of the Means towards Key Areas and then returns back towards/into the Means, this is what I will be watching for unless it shows acceptance under/over Key Areas. If Accept over 5341 - 36 next Range 5386.50 - 5336 5356 - 52 // 5370.50 - 66.50 Means and Edge Top 5386.50 - 81.50 Key Resistance If Accept under 5295.50 - 90.25 5279.25 - 75.25 // 5264.75 - 60.75 Means and VAL 5249.75 - 44.75 Key Support

Bullish outlook on S&P 500, ESM2024, first intraday target 5375We expect further bullish prices in the S&P 500, ESM 2024. After the FOMC Meeting Minutes, yesterday, the daily candle closed bearish, but above 5315, which indicates further bullish prices on the daily. We will be therefore looking for bullish tradesetups today and further until proven otherwise. However, we will have to see if good setups form, since price gaped at todays opening and has already moved a lot overnight, before market opening at 9:30 new york time. We will therfore see if we get some discount to enter first. We are not trying to chase price intraday, entering in a premium. For a first intraday target we are looking for 5375 and potentially higher. This is no financial advice, do not risk real money on the analysis shared by us!

S&P500 - Clues to BUYThe S&P 500 is my favorite market to trade however my strategy struggles when price enters All Time Highs by design. I tend to try and hold positions into ATH's and beyond but this recent uptrend has proven too aggressive for my entries (See attached ideas). Last weeks close is a very subtle clue about institutional intention to buy this market. My intuition says S&P500 is likely to move higher and start the price exploratory process between 5600 - 5350. This is a common process pattern through the summer months observed historically (institutional investors allocate before leaving for summer vacation maybe?) Unfortunately, it also means any trades for me have reduced odds until price clearly defines levels that provide my strategy an edge. As price explores above, I'll be mindful of quick tests of support. I personally would not be comfortable with any swing long entries above 5290, which seems unlikely. From a day trade perspective, 5325 should provided good support and I doubt price trades below it for very long. Time/Price analysis indicates 5600 is a good level to watch for exhaustion of this push. 5185 and 5510 could offer some setups. Daily closes below 5300 invalidates this idea. Any trades related to this idea in the weeks to come will be posted below. Likes and Follows are appreciated

The market could continue to build out a bull flag pattern or break out directly to new highs. Key Supports Immediate Supports: 5329 (major), 5318 (major), 5302-04 (major) Major Supports: 5272-74 (major), 5236 (major), 5208 (major) Key Resistances Near-term Resistance: 5347 (major), 5365-67 (major), 5386-89 (major) Major Resistances: 5404-07 (major), 5450 (major) Trading Strategy Chop Zone Management: The market is consolidating within the 5302-5347 range, with an even tighter range of 5329-5347. Avoid overtrading and focus on level-to-level scalping for small gains. Long Opportunities: Look for a bounce and reclaim above 5317 if the 5309-11 area is tested. If the market dips lower, consider longs at 5302-04, 5272, or 5287 (major). Short Opportunities: As always, avoid shorting green candles and breaking trends. If considering shorts, 5342-47 may offer a potential dip, but proceed with extreme caution. Bull Case Bull Flag Continuation: The market may continue to build out the 5309-5342 bull flag pattern, potentially breaking out for a new push into all-time highs (ATHs). Target 5359, then 5375-77 in this scenario. Consolidation and Breakout: If the market consolidates within the 5329-5347 range and breaks out above 5347, it could target the resistances mentioned above. Adding on Strength: Monitor overnight action for potential flagging below 5219 as a possible entry point for adding to long positions. Bear Case Breakdown Signals: A convincing break below 5302 could trigger a deeper retracement, potentially targeting 5272 and lower.

Bears need to bring their A game and trap bulls below 5300. If they manage to do so, we will close the week at the lows and get a huge sell signal going into next week. current market cycle: trading range key levels: 5270 - 5368. Below 5270 is 5220 and then 5200. bull case: Globex printed 2 bear bars in 23 15m bars. Market then got a second leg up to a new ath 5368.25. The sell-off caught many bulls off guard and never let them out if they bought the highs. Bulls need to quickly trade back above 5300 and then 5320 or they risk that more bulls will exit their long positions going into the weekend. Invalid below 5260. bear case: 5260 was around my measured move target, which we will very likely hit tomorrow. The real question is then if bulls can make 5250-5260 resistance or will we crash to 5200 and into the weekend? My preferred path is drawn on the chart. Invalid above 5320 short term: Bearish. This weekly close will be important. The closer bears could get it to last weeks close 5216, the better for them, going into next week. medium-long term: Bearish. We will see 5000 over the next weeks again and 4600 over the next 12 months. —unchanged trade of the day: Long since Globex on very strong buying to 5368 but market then went on and endless pullback and never let bulls out who bought high and that fueled the violent move down today.
