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.

In today’s video, we’ll go through each of those 10 trade setups in slightly greater detail. While the indices all presented us with losing trades, we had other markets like Gold and Silver help make up for some of those losses.

Expecting a Trending Down Day in Nasdaq 30 Mins After the Open
We had an early heads up to expect a trending day in the Nasdaq (/NQ), Copper (/HG) and Crude Oil (/CL) futures markets.
The Nasdaq was the clear winner for the day, but all 3 markets made moves in their respective trending directions. We had our notification at 7am PT that we should expect a likely trending day in the NQ futures.
At that point, the Nasdaq was trading closer to 10,100. By the end of the day, the Nasdaq had traded down to 9,927.25. That’s a move of ~1.7%+, which had significa
