It’s over, too hot $SPY

PPI dropped and it’s ugly. Headline +0.7% vs +0.3% est. Core PPI +0.5% vs +0.3% est. Y/Y Core sitting at 3.9%. Oil at $100. Powell has to walk up to a podium at 2:30 today and answer questions with these numbers on the board. Zero cover to sound dovish. Not the day to be long and wrong. 👀

@Team2Trading Lately, when we hit low of day or high of day , I usually like to just sell all and get out! And then re enter if it dips back down and is still a good setup!

I believe this right here is the exact moment that many traders struggle with… So I’m curious to get some thoughts on how you approach this situation! You followed your plan ✅ You nailed your entry ✅ You are nice & green ✅ Now what? Sell all , Trim , go B/E? Post your thoughts below and I’ll do that same… It might help a few traders out who just sit there like a deer in headlight in this situation👇

Heatseeker Showed KING NODE above and price was moving in the direction today, which is why I was confident taking the CALL.

How I Trade- I mark PMH/PML/ PDH/PDL I use 9/21 emas, looking for 9/21 crossover or that emas are stacked. I also use HEATSEEKER to see where price may want to go for the day. Personally I need to have a simple strategy, or my brain will start adding way too many things. My biggest issue right now is staying disciplined and not overtrading.

Day is done. Price broke PMH and PDH and held. Took a QQQ Call. Got in and out once it hit my daily $ target. Not even 30 minutes into day and i am done. DISCIPLINE. I will not trade anymore today.

$1M 0DTE size , there is level to this shit fam, and people call me crazy for my size sometimes 😂😂😂 looking forward in my journeys to get to this (I probably won’t trade that big cuz I’d throw up lmaooo) $SPY $QQQ $SPX

News for Tomorrow 3/16/26 :

Currently in this phase.

Day 1 of the second half of march- My only focus is staying disciplined. Trading with smaller size and focusing on the best entry as possible. My main issue with the beginning of this month was overtrading, taking random trades, and just using random size. This is my result from today. Emas crossed over to the downside, heatseeker showed the king node in the direction of the crossover. Also Casey was going to take puts on QQQ as well. So i used him as another confluence. Took my 34% and got out. Done for the day. Kept watching though, but had discipline and didn't enter another trade.

Shitty day 😪 $SPX

Here is your latest war status update. Current Status — March 16, 2026 1️⃣ Fighting is still escalating The war has entered about day 16 and airstrikes are continuing. U.S. and Israeli forces are hitting targets across Iran while Iran keeps launching missiles and drones back toward Israel and regional bases. Iran has fired 290+ missiles and 500+ drones since the war started. Israel says thousands of targets remain inside Iran. ➡️ Translation: Neither side is close to stopping yet. 2️⃣ No real ceasefire talks yet Right now negotiations are basically stalled. Iran’s foreign minister said Tehran sees “no reason” to negotiate and is ready for a long war. U.S. leadership says Iran may want talks but the terms are “not good enough.” ➡️ That means no active ceasefire negotiation phase yet. 3️⃣ Strait of Hormuz situation The U.S. is now trying to form a coalition of countries to protect shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. Why this matters: ~20% of global oil flows through this strait. Iran threatening shipping keeps pressure on global markets. ➡️ If Hormuz reopens normally, that would be a major signal the war is cooling down. 4️⃣ War expanding in the region The conflict is spreading into other countries: attacks reported near Dubai airport and Gulf shipping routes. strikes and clashes continuing in Lebanon and Iraq. ➡️ This is regionalization risk, which usually prolongs wars. 5️⃣ Major military event this weekend The U.S. bombed Kharg Island, a key Iranian oil export hub, destroying 90+ military sites. Iran warned it could retaliate against energy infrastructure if oil facilities are hit. ➡️ This strike was one of the largest escalation points so far. Probability of War Ending ( current probability) ScenarioProbabilityWar continues for weeks 50% Regional escalation30% Negotiations soon20% Right now we are still in the military pressure phase, not the peace phase. Signals That The War Is Actually Ending Watch for these headlines: 1️⃣ Hormuz shipping fully restored 2️⃣ Oman / Qatar mediating talks 3️⃣ Airstrike numbers dropping sharply None of those signals are happening yet. Just a little update on the war status.

If you feel like you started out strong but just keep getting further and further away from your goals… It’s likely because you started with a simple system that worked and slowly began to over complicate it along the way! Sometimes beginners luck isn’t actually luck at all! Go circle back to what actually worked 💚

This is the ultimate starter pack for learning how to day trade 📝 I do it everyday on $SPY $QQQ $IWM • Watch the reaction to the Previous Day High & Low. • Watch the reaction to the Pre Market High & Low • Pay attention to the EMA trends. • Pay attention to the Bull / Bear Flags Stay patient and trade when we have confluence between the levels and EMA trends. Often times you will find this is all you need to find 1 or 2 good trades and make a few bucks 👇
