April 11 - Gameplan Update

ES at Major Critical Area. Consolidating in massive flag.

Friday, April 11 2025

Today’s letter is going to be brief, as I won’t be trading today. It’s my birthday, and I’m going to be spending the day with my family/ friends/ a day away from the screen after such an amazing week.

Note: It’s ok to take a break and get away from the computer. The market will always be there. When you implement discipline and game plan, you get rewarded with patience. Not action. After a week like we’ve had, that’s reason enough to take some time off and chill.

I will offer this up as perspective:

I posted this yesterday noting the precision in ES though so volatile. ES is seeking these levels and critical areas. Respecting them.

April 10th Trades - 1 Trade.

Trade #1 - The 5358 Reclaim - T1, T2 hit. Stopped at breakeven on runner.

I’ll be doing a full writeup on the reclaim of trade opportunity I wrote in April 10th’s letter here. In the AM letter I wrote this in the trade opportunity section:

I will still likely not be direct bidding, not short selling, but waiting for Grade A+ failed breakdowns. 5358 looks like the first available failed breakdown potential. But on a day like yesterday, it wouldn’t be “abnormal” to see a big sell day. We would want to wait for acceptance before we real breakdown turns into a failed one.

This one worked well.

Major levels to watch April 11:

Above: 5358, 5436
Below: 5229, 5088

We are forming a massive flag now between 5400 and 5150. Look for a break either way into high time frame levels.

More so than ever: follow our rules, protect our capital, size risk accordingly, take profits when they’re due, and only take Grade A+ setups

We’ll have to wait and see what price delivers today

As always, stick to the plan, use the core strategy and profit taking rules.

Trade like a Robot, let’s make it a great Friday

We will resume normal letter and updates Monday. Have a great weekend!
