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.

🔑 Key Levels for Tomorrow
Above 6410 = Remain Bullish
Below 6390 = Bearish
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.
S&P500 Channel Up going straight to 6670.The S&P500 index (SPX) has been trading within a 3-month Channel Up since the May 12 candle. All of this time, it has been supported by the 1D MA50 (blue trend-line) and as long as it holds, the new Bullish Leg is expected.
The last two rose by +7.06%, and ahead of a new 1D MACD Bullish Cross, that gives us a medium-term Target of 6670.

Day 5 — Trading Only S&P Futures — +$169, Managing the GrindWelcome to Day 5 of Trading Only S&P Futures!
Today I made +$169 trading ES futures. I was busy so mostly set bracket orders at major levels and let them do their work. The market was a nonstop grind upward, making trading a bit slow.
In hindsight, there was an A+ setup with a triple buy signal and market structure alignment that I wish I had sized heavier on to finish earlier.

Review S&P 500 futures weekly chart - 8/8/2025Price is Knocking on the Door of All-Time Highs
The bulls are back in control. Price is pushing above the 6,400 magenta resistance, a level that has capped rallies before — and we’re now testing it head-on. The uptrend from the late-2022 low remains strong, with price riding comfortably above the green moving average ribbon like a surfer on a perfect wave.
The last big pullback in early 2024? It was a clean bounce off the 4,000–4,100 blue support zone, marked by a textbook "Bull Wick" reversal candle. That move lit the fuse for a powerful rally, and the setup now has a similar feel.
Key Levels I’m Watching
Resistance: 6,400 (magenta) – in play right now.
Support: 5,600 (red), 4,300 (blue), and a deeper 3,800 zone (blue).
History shows that breakouts above major resistance here have triggered multi-week runs.
The Indicator Story
MACD: Bullish crossover forming, histogram shifting into positive territory → momentum is building.
Stochastic RSI: Tapped overbought and curling slightly down → short-term cooling possible.
RSI: Near 70, still in bullish territory and not yet screaming overbought.
The Bigger Picture
On the weekly chart, the trend is undeniably strong. Price is above all major moving averages, and momentum is on the bulls' side.
However, with multiple oscillators sitting high, the market might need to catch its breath — either through a small pullback or sideways consolidation — before launching into the next leg higher.
Bottom Line
The breakout is here, but confirmation is key. A strong push and close above 6,400 could open the door to another sustained rally. If the breakout fails, I’ll be watching the 5,600–5,400 range for signs of buyer defense.
Day 4 — Trading Only S&P Futures — +$207, Patience Pays OffWelcome to Day 4 of Trading Only S&P Futures!
After two tough losing days, I took a morning yoga session to clear my mind and approach the market calmly. I started trading late but found a strong A+ setup near 6355, aligned with a major gamma zone and RSI signals, which led to a $200+ profit.

I made a typo when i was putting some orders in from last night that triggered and started the day -300 so I spent most of today just grinding it back again.
I think going forward, I am going to make a rule to limit myself of only doing 2 MES MAX during night time if i plan to put orders in because it really sadden the mood when you start the day negative.
Overall, today's trading day wasn't that bad, we had bullish structure and AAPL event that carried the market up. I took some shorts at 6355 that didn't work out but eventually made money at the end of the day as i shorted 6375 zones. I have noticed that** max Gamma levels don't truly settle until 11am. **

Overall market seem to have rejected the higher timeframe resistance and deciding which direction to go.

I was leaning bearish in the market because we had such strong selling pressure on Friday butonce we broke over the level i posted last week at 6330, I gave up on my bias and I just followed the signals and traded the the X1dd buy signal with @gohawks14 and shorted the Max gamma resistance around 6352 and called a day when i made $200.
I think for this week as we start the trading challenge, I want to have one account where i just make $200 and call it a day so this way i can build consistency and get my trading % up.

What’s are some news or takeaway from today? and What major news or event impacted the market today?
Market range expanded a lot today, we dropped over 100 points today and sometimes i forget to adjust my bracket orders to go for 10 -15 points take profits when the volatility is so high. But overall, it was a good day, I knew to be patient as market was wild and sometimes you want to just snipe a few trades and call it a day before you get caught on the wrong side.
The great thing about big moves is that it will eventually hit a major level and it will react really well, you just have to wait for it.
a great question is will the market recover? Or is going back down to April prices?

Today marked the 4th day of the structure signals being iffy as they try to tip the volumes bullish just to cancel it right afterwards.
I was starting to get a bit tilted today as I had a bunch of orders at area that didn't get filled and eventually just gave up trying to have a green day and walked away.
looking at some of the other charts, i also we are getting a doji on the longer time frames and it is starting to look like bear's wet dream.
However, Mag 7 stock earnings were really great, the only downside was rate cut isn't happening.

S&P 500 Intraday & Swing Entries H1 entry is close to getting activated for intraday.
If you want a swing trade then wait for H4 entry (you might be waiting a while obviously)
Reason for entries - We have broken out of Balance since July 25th and currently in a trend phase until we establish a new value area, or return to the one we broke out from.
So since Trend and Momentum is UP, then we should find Low Volume Areas to enter in the direction of the trend for a classic pullback entry trade.

I have started to noticed that the last 3 days, we have been getting false triggers on market structure signals and it almost feels MM are trying to do it to break people's algo that trade on that.
This is a good reminder that no matter how successful the signal has been for the last 30 days, you still need to have risk management. additionally, it's also a good way to test people's faith and trick new traders in going back to doing random things because it makes them think market can behave randomly and nothing works.
this is why i always tell people to religiously test out a system for 30 days before giving up.
