All right, y'all. Back to war, boy. Definitely not the bull trap we talked on in last night's video. That's all right. You can't win them all, can you? Now, more importantly, did you see that recordbreaking durable goods orders 8:30 this morning? Boy, lots of manufacturing coming back to the US right now. I definitely underestimated the potency of that report. Lesson learned. I will not make that mistake next time. Now, looking forward to tomorrow. We have a monster move going higher right now and a couple range breakouts. Put those two clues together. Big move, range breakouts. That tells me breakout pullbacks are probably where the money is made tomorrow morning. So, a pretty easy game plan for Friday morning. I want to make sure we cover the entries, the exits. By the time we're done tonight, you'll have an easy road map, an easy game plan to make some money on Friday morning as well. So, charts are ready. Enough of the intro. It's been a fantastic week to be trading this week here. Let's finish strong for a Friday morning. Charts look pretty darn good tonight. S&P SPY is ready to go tonight. NASDAQ triple Q's are already I have five I know five clues on these charts in front of us that are telling me where I think the winning trades are waiting for tomorrow. One of those five clues is right here on the hourly time frame. Well, that range that has treated us so well over the past few weeks, it looks like that range is now starting to break down here. Nothing lasts forever. We've done very well off that range on the higher time frame. Now, one big clue for tomorrow is the buyers obviously have all of the momentum right now. I like to use this hourly chart as an overall directional filter, right? So, one big clue is the bulls have control on the higher time frame. Second clue is over on the schedule for tomorrow. We're all through the big earnings for the week, but we got some big news tomorrow. That consumer sentiment number at 10:00 Eastern time, that is our big news tomorrow morning. Specifically, the inflation expectations aspect of that survey tomorrow morning. Don't underestimate that green star news event. The last few months, that's been a big market mover. So, second clue tomorrow is expect some volatility around that 10:00 Eastern time number. And as always, of course, we know the markets are obsessed right now with tariff headlines. We'll keep an eye on that tomorrow morning as well. Let's now go deeper though. First clue was the bullish overall bias. Second clue was the news at 10:00. The third, fourth, and fifth clues right now are all over on the tick charts. Remember, we don't trade time charts in our trade room. We always trade tick charts. Tick charts are based on volume. They make the patterns easier to see all the time frames. By the way, if you're watching for the first time right now, upper leftand corner. And that, my friends, is the only indicator we need to find lots of winning trades each week. That is the 21 EMA. I have three more clues on these tick charts right now. One clue is this monster move going higher, can definitely not the bull trap we talked about last night, but a big move higher here today. Now, why is it important? Well, because big move higher, I don't want to buy high up here. I want to buy nice and low. And usually a big move like this tells me to look for a twolegged pullback and a retest of the high. Two-legged pullback and a retest of the high. The second clue here is that beautiful pop and grind channel. Pop up, grind. Now, we talk about this a lot on these videos, but in case you're watching for the first time right now, anytime we see a market grind in one direction, it's like a steamroller for momentum. Most importantly, I can draw a trend line off those highs, pin that trend line down around those lows, and boy, if we can get that tool pullback around that area, that would be a fantastic area to buy the dip for tomorrow. But the final clue tonight might be my favorite clue out of all of them. We got multiple ranges right now. There's a range right there. There's a range right here. Now, why would that be important? Well, because anytime we see a range breakout, we know that breakout pullbacks are definitely on our radar. In fact, I would speculate that breakout pullbacks might be the most consistent thing I know about trading overall. Now, you'll notice right that there's two of them here, one right here and one right there. This is important because one of them has me buying relatively high. The other is a nice deep pullback. So, tonight we'll talk about how I'm going to use different entry tactics depending on which one of these breakout pullback zones that we use. In fact, in all reality, when I see a really big move higher like this, when I see it grind up like that, there are really two basic types of strategies I always look for. the following day. The first one is kind of the easiest. We'll cover that here first on the S&P and SPY. But the second one, it's a little more complicated, but when you see me explain it later on in the video, I think you'll see why I like the second one even better. So, we'll cover that a bit later on on the NASDAQ. Now, hopefully by now you can see though on the first type of strategy for tomorrow, I would love to get a nice deep two-legged pullback. Think of it a measured move. measured move ABCD. Get down into that nice deep breakout pullback zone, the low of that channel. Now, you know, as we always say in these videos, I'm not in the business of just blindly buying down here or picking tops and bottoms. What I'll do on this is is look for two types of entry patterns. This is where the 21 EMA comes in handy. As we start pulling back right now, remember all that momentum, all that grinding momentum is going to want to retest the high here. I would love to get a bear trap down here. Bears try once, higher high. Bears try twice. Why? Because now now I know where their stops are. As my first mentor always said, now you know where their pain is. If you're caught short in a move like this, what happens when you get stopped out? You buy your way out. These often times will squeeze and rip right back up to retest high. So a simple two try bear trap is my first try to buy that deep pullback. Now we know where the market wants to go now. It wants to go back up and retest that high. So now we start looking for the second trade in this first sequence and that's an add-on trade. Add-on trades are very simple. First things first, separation off the moving average. Second, higher high in price. If you get some separation off the moving average and a higher high in price, the goal is to go back up to retest the high, that's a great way to add to your winning position. So, one way I'll trade this first strategy for tomorrow is to look at pullback bear trap, squeeze those stops, and if we lucky, we'll get an add-on there as we go back up to retest that high. Now, one question for you. What if we don't get that bear trap down there? I mean, it wouldn't surprise me at all if we saw a really sharp two-legged pullback and there are so many buyers down here. It just whoop and runs right back up again. We may not get a bear trap down there. These can be a bit challenging because you're going to feel like you're missing the entry. But what happens often times is is once it vottoms off that low, I can find a new one of those pop and grind channels off the highs, bring it down off that low. And remember, the first test of this channel is always the best test. Find those prior swings. And that first test is the best test is always my favorite off the low. I could use any of the entry patterns I teach in our free trading classes to buy off the low of that channel. And really, we have a bunch of tariff talk going on right now. Would anyone be surprised if we saw a really sharp two-legged pullback? You know, Trump says something, China says something, right? Something happens. A sharp to pullback. We get that beautiful bear trap down here. One, two. Nice easy short squeeze back higher. But now, if that pullback is really sharp, remember anytime we see a strong move down like that, what'll happen is is sometimes the bears will come in, they'll hold the underbelly of that first leg. I go for a one to one on the first target. Second target though is always nice around the underbelly of that move in case you're trading this on your own tomorrow morning. But every once in a while though, it'll come back and whack that sucker right back down again. Now remember, we're very bullish right now on the higher time frame. Right? So this will not be a reversal. If we retest this low, I would love to do this again. One try, two try. We call these retest trades in our trade room. It's always that bear trap and then getting in on that add-on as we go higher. So, don't be surprised if something happens tomorrow, we see a really sharp move down, we get the initial bear trap, but again, watch the underbelly of that first leg. If it rolls over us again, do it again because these retest trades are often times our biggest winners and get targeted as course back up to retest the high. So, some variations there of this nice deep pullback for us. Now, here's a question for you. How do we adjust our strategy for the shallow pullback right now? I want to talk about that in just a moment. Before we do that, though, let's slow down for a couple seconds, though, because I know most you guys and gals watching right now, you know these patterns already. You're making money with these already. But if you're watching for the first time right now, this might be a brand new strategy for you. Don't you worry, though. I teach this entire system in my free trading class. In fact, I have a ton of examples. bear traps, add-ons, breakout pullbacks. Guys, I want to help you make money timing the entries on this. What I'll do is I'll put a link up top here for you. Upper right-hand corner. Hit that link that just popped up there and take that free trading course because the strategy I teach in that short video series will teach you a surprisingly simple trick we use in our members trade room that literally tells us exactly where the winning trades are waiting for us each day. More importantly, I want to teach you my four favorite entry setups so you can time better entries, make a lot more money. Guys, the markets, they're so good right now not to be making consistent profits. So, if you're still missing the best entries right now, if you've lost your confidence in your current trading strategy, what are you waiting for? Hit that link that popped up there. Take that free trading course. Everyone loves all the trade examples I include. I have a ton of examples of traps and add-ons in that short video series. The best part is it is 110% free for you. Also too, keep in mind too guys, I'm going to put all the important links you need to learn this strategy. Time better entries, start making money out there on your own. You know guys, most folks, they start making money on their own all from that free video class. So, I'll drop all the important links tonight below this video down in the description. Start first on that free video course. And also keep in mind too, if you're on Twitter or X as the kids call it these days, I post a ton of charts and videos and mindset stuff throughout the day on Twitter X. Give me a follow. Again, all the details you need to learn more, hopefully earn a lot more, too, are linked below with a video here in the description. Okay, so now you know, now you know where to go tonight to learn the entry tactics. I can't teach everything in these videos and I I teach a lot more of this in that free video course. Okay, so where we leave off here? We talked about that nice deep two-legged pullback, that breakout pullback zone. But hold on though. Hold on though. How do we trade a shallow pullback right now? Shallow pullbacks. The challenge is we are buying relatively high. And don't forget this is just the first of two strategies for tomorrow. I'm going to kick this up one more notch into a more advanced tactic for tomorrow on the NASDAQ. And again, when you see me talk you through it, I think you'll see why I almost hope we get the second strategy setting up for tomorrow. We're going to cover that on the NASDAQ. So, sit tight. We'll be there here in just a moment. What's the problem right now? What is the problem if we get a shallow pullback? It's again, we're buying relatively high right now. I don't think anybody will be surprised though. Some good headlines. We heard from South Korea a few hours ago. They're ready to sign a deal at the White House right now. We may the good times may keep going at the White House right now. So, I want to have a game plan ready for a shallow pullback. Now, if you're a student of mine, you know what I'm going to say right now. Or if you've gone through my free video classes, you probably know the right way to do this. Right now, whenever we see a shallow pullback, I need to focus on riskreward ratio. Okay, this will make sense. If I look for a typical bear trap pattern one and two and I'm buying right here, my risk is like this and my reward is like that. No bueno, right? We cannot build a career on that. If I buy a deep pullback and I hope this makes sense. This is very important. Understanding how to filter for riskreward ratio is the next evolution in most people's trading career. If we get a deeper pull, a deeper pullback now one, two, I can risk small to make a lot, right? That's a trade everybody wants. That's a trade I can build my career off. Okay, so we know the inherent problem. The workaround on this is we look for what's called a technical bear trap. Okay, there are bear traps and a term I use a technical bear trap. A technical bear trap. when I get that shallow pullback. Now, it's still one, two, it's one, and two, but now I want to get in underneath that prior low. The way this plays out now is I get that strong signal candle like I teach in the free video course. Now, think about this. Now, now my risk is here. My reward now is here. The riskreward ratio now by making that small adjustment, I'm not buying up here now. I'm buying down here again. A deep pullback, I can be a lot more aggressive because I can risk small to earn large. A shallow pullback, the most important thing about shallow pullbacks is I do not want to buy high up there because again, it's not attractive to the big professional traders out there. I want to get in underneath that low. And again, I teach the entries on this in the free video course. Strong green candle back above the moving average. I want to be in the green on this trade by the time we take out that high right there. One to one first target. Stop moves up to point of entry and of course we take our targets off at that high at that high like always. All right guys, that's one variation of that on that shallow pullback. Does that make sense? Let me know if that's something you've ever learned before. How to filter for riskreward ratio. Let me let me know down in the comments section. I would love to hear from you and get your feedback on that technique. Let's now talk about now that second scenario for tomorrow over on the NASDAQ. That's just one way to trade this for tomorrow. Over the NASDAQ right now. And again, boy, that that trading range that did us so well the last few weeks here. If you guys have been watching these videos, you know, we've been watching that range here. Now, it looks like this range, you know, nothing lasts forever, right? So, now these buyers are obviously kicking this thing into high gear right now.

So, thank you so much for the likes, the shares, all the subscribes, and all the ongoing support down in the comments section. Now, let's talk about tick charts here and talk about that second key component here over on the NASDAQ. Boy, what a move on that NASDAQ. And by the way, you can probably notice here too, right? That range, remember, we talk about this a lot on these videos, the breakout leg, the measuring leg, right? Anytime we see a range breakout, the breakout leg is the measuring leg. Okay, so on the S&P, we talked about how we have that big move higher, it's that two-legged pullback. We have pop and grind channel to find that channel. Boy, wouldn't I love to get a breakout a breakout pullback off that nice deep breakout pullback zone. I mean, come on. That would just be that would be my favorite trade for tomorrow. One thing you will notice though on the NASDAQ is is that this range up here is a little bit higher up relative to where we are right now. Right? Everything's relative compared to that high right now. So, you'll notice on the S&P the breakout pullback zone I had was right there. on the NASDAQ. I would really like to get this down around that area right there. Now, if you're a student of mine, this is a big move environment. Um, go into your trade room materials, the mental warm-ups, and you'll see why I've got that zone, my favorite on the NASDAQ, a student of mine in our trade room. So, I like that one now as that shallow pullback shallow pullback zone right bear trap and back up from there here. So, a small adjustment there on the NASDAQ, but everything else really is almost identical to the S&P here. Let's now talk about that second scenario for tomorrow, which like I said earlier, it's a bit more complicated, but I think once you see me draw it up here, you're going to see why I really hope for that scenario here tomorrow as well. It's a range, right? It's a range. One very very common scenario after a big move in one direction, especially with some big tariff talk, everyone waiting on tariff talk for next week here is a range. Now the reason why ranges are really are almost my favorite for tomorrow is because ranges love to rotate. They love to rotate down up down up. And remember the amount below the range can be projected now above the range, right? Back above, back below. We use things called pendulum swings. We use things called triangles or megaphones. We trade that rotation back and forth. So if you understand that basic principle of a trading range right now, you can probably kind of estimate now what the game plan will be. Now I have no idea where this range will be. It could be way up here. I don't know. What I do know though is is that a range acts like a magnet. And so what happens is is once we start seeing that range and things start to flatten out on the moving averages, I'm looking for a breakout going lower. That breakout going lower, I'm I'm warning you right now, that breakout will feel very convincing. Okay? That voice in your head will say, "Wow, right, that must be a legit breakout." Most of the time it's not. Sometimes it is. Most of the time though it's not. The odds are not very good because ranges act like magnets. Now, if you understand the bear trap and the add-on that we talked about earlier on the S&P, same idea. Get down into resist, sorry, get down to support below that trading range. Trap those bears in once, twice. I always like two tries here because again, I want their stops, right? I want their stops. I'm not going to blindly buy down here, right? As as we saw today, right? We don't blindly trade levels. We wait for setups. Sometimes we get them, sometimes we don't. at that point. Now, now we know where we can squeeze those stops. Now we know where sellers are in pain and we can buy into those stops. Now remember, failure patterns or bear trap patterns like this turn into now add-ons. What's the key to an add-on? The key to an add-on is that shallow pullback, that higher high in price. I cannot emphasize enough how important it is to get that shallow pullback that barely misses the moving average. This one right there, look closely. Right, we go up, shallow pullback, higher high, add-ons, right? Add-ons are very, very common in strong trends or common in pretty much all environments. Higher high, add-on, right below that low. I teach that setup in our free trading classes. Now, remember, in a normal pullback, we take our profit targets off at the high, right? In a normal pullback, in a two-legged pullback, it's back to retest the high. This is why I love ranges so much, cuz now the amount below the range, the amount of ah, see, now, now you start to see why I love these things so much. Right? Now, we know where that market is trying to go. So, same basic idea here, but now we use rotation to our advantage. bear trap add-on as we go higher. Let's kick this up one more notch though. All right, because sometimes what happens is a lot of times what happens is after a big move like this, we'll go sideways and often times what happens is is we see a breakout going higher first. Now after a big move like this, it's quite difficult to unless something changes, unless we see some great headlines regarding tariffs tomorrow, you know what I mean? So unless something really changes, there's not the odds of that being a successful breakout are pretty low. I'll talk about how to know if it's successful breakout in a moment. But most of the time though, this winds up coming crashing right back down. Now, you know this already now. Now you know how ranges work. The amount above the range, the amount below the range. Now again, this move lower is going to feel legit, right? This will feel very bearish. But what do we say on these videos? The best entries, they're always scary. So, if this pullback makes you uncomfortable, good. You're doing it the right way. Don't lose sight of that hourly time frame, right? This will likely be just a big, big pullback off the high. It's not a reversal. It's a rotation off the high. Once you learn how rotation works, now you're not going to get fooled. Now, you're not going to be the victim of a bear trap right here. Now, same thing, right? one, two, trap the hot the bears and squeeze back up to retest. Now, keep in mind the same stuff I mentioned earlier, right? For example, right, let's say we get a really strong run down and it just boing right back up again. The same Vbottom technique, if it pops up and grinds going higher, that same Vbottom technique can be used, find that low, buy that first test. In fact, these are the easiest ones. These are really easy because now that momentum now is turned in your favor. Okay, these are, you know, there's no there's no guarantees in trading, but that setup right there when it pops up starts grind. Remember, grinding moves are an easy giveaway for a lot of strength, right? So, in these, again, no guarantees, but that's about as close to a guaranteed winner you're going to get if it grinds up like this. That's an easy one. And as always, if we saw a a bounce up and another leg going lower, remember retest trade. Retest trades. If you're with if you're with us in a trade warning, you know, retest, we love retest trades cuz now anybody who's sold on that pullback, right, they're taking their profit where? Right about there. This is a horrible spot to be selling. Great spot for a bear trap. So, retest trades, right? It it slams down. We may or may not get that bear trap back up again. Sometimes what happens is they'll hold the underbelly of that range, right? Remember breakout leg, measuring leg, find that measured move down there. Breakout leg, measuring leg. I I I wish I could teach all this stuff in these videos, but come out and join us the trade room and we'll do it together, right? It gets pretty easy when you do with me each day consistently over a couple weeks here. So once we take out that low, retest trade, double bottom, retest trade, one try, two try, trap those bears in, squeeze those stops, add to your winner with the add-on trade I described earlier on in the video. All right, so be aware of that fake out break off the high. Do not do not do not uh fall for that uh that bear trap that uh that that that fake out breakout off the high like that. Now, one final question. One final question is what if we did see a range here tomorrow and then some news comes out? How would I know when a breakout should be taken seriously? Well, remember that 21 EMA? What do we always say? Separation equals strength. You see what I'm saying now? Okay. So, now now we break out and now we start separating off the moving average. Ah, yes. That's the clue, right? That is the easiest clue I know. The most consistent clue I know that tells me cuz again a lot of times what happens is it'll go up, it'll try and bam, right back down again. But if this thing pulls back, starts grinding grind. Okay, now you know that's a breakout. Once we know breakouts happen now, okay, now look left, find those prior highs up there. And as always, I'm going to grab that pullback ideally somewhere right around that that prior high. I will definitely be finding that channel, right? pop and grind channel, prior high. And these are great trades, right? Get below the moving average, trap those bears in and squeeze those stops. And then remind me, remind me one more time, where is a target on this? The breakout leg is the measuring leg, right? Remind me breakout leg. Breakout leg, measuring leg. Do you see how repetition, repetition, same stuff happens over and over again? Breakout leg, measuring leg. If you want to make more money, hold those winners longer. Add to your winners and hold on to them longer. Measured moves are an easy way to know where that target wants to go and leave that runner make some bank on a Friday morning, early Friday afternoon. Right guys, that's the road map for tomorrow. Two game plans, deep two-legged pullbacks, sideways choppy ranges. I'm excited for tomorrow. Now, speaking of tomorrow, the place to be is in our trade room, 8:00 Eastern time. Guys, I can't think of any better way to learn this stuff than to do it with me every morning at the opening bell. As always, I'm going to put all the important links you'll need to learn this whole strategy. I'll put that down in the description of the YouTube video. Start first with the free video classes. Enjoy all those trade examples in there. Then come join me in the trade room and we'll do it together. In the meantime, guys, fantastic week. Make some money for me tomorrow morning. Be well. Be nice to each other. And you better be here next time. I'm adios, amigos. Bye for now.
