@smashelito My only other note is the ceasefire is set to expire this week. Note the strong upside move that began once it was announced, if an agreement doesn’t follow we could be back on the roller coaster 🎢 (Deal or no deal also on the other side of ATH now resolved)

$ES | $SPX Weekly Plan | April 20-24 🟩 Daily: OTFU 🟩 Weekly: OTFU 🟨 Monthly: BALANCE The key this week is to monitor whether buyers can maintain upside momentum following last week’s historically one-sided auction that resulted in a new ATH, or whether the market is due for technical fills of structure, a healthy correction. Friday’s afternoon pullback low at 7151 and the true gap at 7089 are two immediate reference points for gauging the auction. A new ATH printed at 7185.75 after smashing through the prior ATH at 7031, which now serves as a critical area for buyers to defend to keep the breakout intact. The most bullish response would involve building value above the prior multi-week balance area, signaling acceptance. This would favor upside continuation and continued price exploration in search of value, keeping the current imbalance phase intact. Failure to do so, implying acceptance back into the prior balance area and the developing YTD value, would put a failed breakout scenario in play, potentially opening the door to a return to value, in this case the 6880 HVN.

@jmavrickz @HarrietEve9 I’m talking about when they almost swept the playoffs (peak GS imo)

@DavidNwagbara @HarrietEve9 No kerr coached thst entire first season bencjed their all star power foward and previusly all star wing for two 3rd year players in green and barnes and won 67 games and a title

The Golden State Warriors dynasty has come to an end — and Steve Kerr never developed any superstar talent since he was gifted with the team, 14 years ago, that was developed by Mark Jackson…. Now during this time, Kerr has won coach of the year, 4 NBA championships, and was the highest paid NBA head coach in the league… But, who exactly are the players that he developed since Mark Jackson was fired and blackballed from the league???

@DavidNwagbara HAGW David! Wild week!

$ES Daily Plan | April 17 Nothing has changed contextually after today’s session, as buyers continue to remain in firm control of the auction and establishing value higher. The daily remains in one-time framing up mode, forming higher highs and higher lows, a structure sellers must break to bring the daily back into short-term balance. Intraday strength would be indicated by a reclaim of 7092 (UT1), while a break and hold below 7043–35 (DT1) would end daily OTFU, potentially introducing short-term weakness or at least a more two-sided auction. Smashlevel: 7062

@dontbsalti @tradebln And that’s a dangerous life, but at least it’s in the simulated environment

@dontbsalti @tradebln This is the golden nugget. You need the big accounts (100/150k) at prop firms to get reasonable drawdown (3-4k of room) and the ask you to nearly QUADRUPLE your drawdown to get paid 🫨 $10-$15k total trading profit required to request, so sizing up is almost the only way…

Trading live account means tilting is not an option. Because you can’t just replace it for $100. Once all these sim props go extinct if you can’t make the transition a live environment ur trading journey is over. It’s not an if — it’s a when.

@smashelito The current set up is “inside bar” on multiple timeframes & the bottom break technically triggered eod. So 152(155 SMASH) is the area to watch. Sellers will want to breach & fill in towards 121, buyers will want to hold support & keep the train running HAGW SMASH! 🚀

@smashelito The earnings calendar is filling up, next week we will here from the airlines & some tech towards the back half 📊

@Serg_Trades @WebullGlobal Trading cash account is great for many reasons, the biggest being the ability to move at your own pace. Like others have mentioned a Tradovate or AMP might be better than the retail apps (Webull/Robinhood) that recently added futures

I’ve decided it’s time to make the jump to a personal futures account. I just opened a Futures Account with @WebullGlobal and I’ll be depositing around $7,500. Should be ready to trade next week. This is capital I’m fully prepared to lose. Of course, the goal is to grow it, but if I blow it, I’m also mentally prepared for that. I’d rather put a portion of my last payout into my own account than keep running through evals trying to recreate my last payout. We all know how that goes. What really excites me is the freedom. No profit targets. No consistency rules. No minimum trading days. No pressure to “pass.” I can trade when I want or not trade at all. It’s completely on me. I’m genuinely looking forward to this shift. I’ve always believed trading a personal account brings a different kind of psychology compared to prop firms, and I think that difference could be a positive one. Props make it incredibly easy to get started and buy an account which is probably why I never took this step sooner but now feels like the right time. Going forward, I’ll likely be sharing more about my personal account journey as it becomes my main focus. Appreciate all the support and everyone I’ve connected with along the way. It’s been a wild ride, but it’s time to step out the comfort zone of props and build something of my own. Much love.❤️ LFG🤝

@smashelito Kinda looks like a rising wedge so 62 area still the strike to watch for action

@smashelito Buyers will want to take the high yet again & keep the train rolling. Even in the event of profit taking they aren’t in any trouble as long as price maintains the ceasefire gap where we started the week. The initial balance will likely hold clues

$ES Daily Plan | April 16 The relentless upside imbalance remains intact, with the market printing a new all-time high and cleaning up the prior overnight ATH at 7043 in the process. The auction is starting to get a bit ahead of itself, but unless sellers can gain traction below 7043, in line with today’s J-period single prints, there’s no reason to fight this freight train. Intraday strength would be indicated by a reclaim of 7092 (UT1), while a break and hold below 7043–35 (DT1) has the potential to introduce short-term weakness, with the objective of cleaning up structural deficiencies. Smashlevel: 7062

@smashelito Buyers will want to INITIATE with force up here to finally clear this multi month resistance area and push for current contract high price 7096.50

@smashelito They will want to show up early as “previous all time high” is a common target to book some profits as they still have zero established momentum so far

$ES Daily Plan | April 15 After reclaiming the prior multi-week balance low at 6790 last week and defending it early this week, we are now approaching the balance highs (ATH), which act as a target area according to balance guidelines. The RTH ATH is at 7031, while we also have an untested overnight ATH at 7043 as unfinished business. The session formed a P-shape (bullish imbalance) after a sustained true gap higher, with single prints in the B and D periods. Intraday strength would be indicated by a reclaim of 7043 (UT1), while weakness would be signaled by a break and hold below 6985 (DT1), today’s afternoon pullback low. Smashlevel: 7005

@smashelito Still higher, although trade location is becoming extreme. Often times price targets the opposite end of balance like you mentioned there’s unfinished business at the highs.

$ES Daily Plan | April 14 Upon price exploration into last week's gap area, 6790 was the key level to monitor, as sellers needed to hold below it to potentially shift the tone. The failure to build value and acceptance below it overnight led to a notable counter-move in the direction of the prevailing short-term trend. The market has returned to the yearly opening price following closing strength, forming a notable spike that is now of short-term interest. Intraday strength would be indicated by a reclaim of 6927 (UT1), while weakness would be signaled by a break and hold below 6880 (DT1), returning into last week’s range. PPI on deck tomorrow.
