SPY Bullish Reversal Trade Results (100%+ Winner)
We set up a game plan for trades in SPY, along with the futures and stock markets via our Volatility Box in yesterday’s video. Today, we’ll take a look at the results to see what happened.
We expected for the markets to open down lower, and then start to trend bullishly for the rest of the day. This was based off of our backtesting of the Cumulative TICK data, that we did in our pro version of the tutorial (free for Volatility Box members, available here: https://www.tosindicators.com/indicato

The Cumulative TICK Pro signaled to us to expect a likely bearish trend exhaustion with today’s activity. We’ll use this information to create a game plan for tomorrow’s trading.
Specifically, I’m looking for the bearish trend that we had into the final hours of the market to halt, and reverse into tomorrow. Below, you’ll find a brief game plan that is expanded upon more in tonight’s video.
➡️ WHAT WE’RE EXPECTING:
A bullish reversal, after a morning decline. The Cumulative TICKs suggested t
Cumulative TICK and Volatility Ranges – Day Trading /ES Futures
We had both trend and fade opportunities that set up in the S&P 500 futures (/ES), for high probability trades.
With the morning gap down lower, we had the TICKs consistently signaling selling action. This was easy to see via the Cumulative TICK indicator, with the pro version signaling that we should expect to see a likely trending down move.
Shortly after the notification at 7:00am PT, we had a pullback to our Market Pulse line, giving us a better place to start building a position with ETF

The final hour of the markets today gave us multiple opportunities to buy the dip, and catch some quick reversals in the indices.
We had a breach in the S&P 500 (/ES), Nasdaq (/NQ), DOW (/YM) and the Russell 2000 (/RTY). All 4 of these breaches respected our Volatility Box models, and gave some incredible reversal opportunities.
In addition to the indices, we also had breaches in Natural Gas (/NG), which was successful, along with Gold (/GC). The only market in which we went outside of our vo

With the recent burst of volatility, we’ve seen more stocks hit our Live Scanner compared to usual. The Live Scanner is a “machine” that we’ve built, whose job is to update every 15 seconds with new trades that breach our Volatility Box edges.
Today, we had more than 229 trades that hit our Live Scanner over the course of the

After 3 days of breaking outside of our most conservative models, we saw price action start to stabilize just a bit.
In today’s video, we’ll layer on both our hourly and daily volatility ranges to look and trade the indices. We sent out the daily volatility ranges, part of the Stock Volatility Box platform, to all of our Futures VB members as well, which ended up triggering for some nice trades across the board.
Via our Futures VB levels, we had a total of 7 trades, with a net P/L of +$1,410,

We had a relatively sharp sell off in the markets today, with many markets breaking outside of even our most conservative volatility models in the 7-8am PT and the subsequent hour.
We had all of our major indices markets break outside of our Doomsday Conservative Volatility Box clouds (ES, YM, NQ, and RTY), along with markets such as the 30-YR Bond, Gold, and Silver (ZB, GC, and SI). While that led to a challenging day in day trading the futures, it’s important to also take a step back and asse

We had the Nasdaq futures break outside of our Doomsday Conservative (our most conservative) volatility models within the first 30 minute after market open. With that same downfall, we had a group of tech stocks all hit our Stock Volatility Box Live Scanner, giving us plenty of opportunities to look for fade trade setups.
In today’s video, we’ll discuss both stock and futures trades, along with ways to overlap the Stock and Futures Volatility Boxes to work in congruence. With Nasdaq breaking ou

The release of the FOMC Minutes served as our catalyst for volatility in the futures market place today, leading to 7 futures day trades.
In today’s video, we’ll discuss all 7 of those trades, walking through all of the breaches and setups. Most of our trades today came in the 11-12p PT hour (when the FOMC minutes were released), which led to a burst of volatility in the marketplace.
Outside of the indices and 30-YR bond, we also had futures volatility trades that set up in markets like Crud
