Overall we had a pretty light week in the group, with FOMC on Wednesday it was only good for scalping. Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday were overall pretty normal but choppy still. The big payoff in analysis and patience came Friday on a unique quad witching day, with some large gains. SPY overshot our target...

Trading Sideways to New Highs
Getting behind on last week so catching up. Last week was choppy at the beginning so we had to capitalize on small moves. A couple plays didn’t work out but we did really well overall considering the low volatility. We did get to play a M-W-F play all three expiration days last week, Friday’s...

We had a really good week this week. Traded a lot less, especially Monday with bank holiday. First of all, day trades were 100%. There were a lot less of them than last week, but the gains on each were good and SPY mostly went one way and there wasn’t a ton of setups....

Getting caught up on recaps again, this is week of October 7. The market was still settling down and we didn’t find a lot of good plays, but still had a few really good ones. 75% win rate on day trades puts us back into action with where we had been. Still lots of...

Getting caught up on weekly recaps, This is from week of Sept 30th. We had a very hard week day trading because the market was so choppy and contrarian. We saw lots of fake-outs and patterns that normally work did not. Lots of news as well and the market was on edge about anything...

Wow so last week was even more volatile than the week before, and we caught the right side of some trades that ended in huge day trade gains! Wednesday we shot a blank and had two trades we got stopped out on, but the days surrounding it more than made up for it. So...
