Trade Strategy 8.5.25

S&P 500 (ES)

Prior Session was Cycle Day 3: Positive 3-Day Cycle as price secured a rally above the CD1 Low (6357.50) which has an 91.24% historical performance track history.

Positive 3-Day Cycle Statistic is defined as Price Above the Cycle Day 1 Low on Cycle Day 3. P > CD1 on CD3.

Notable for this particular CD3 is that price had a very steep hill to reclaim/recover the CD1 Low (6357.50).

There are those traders that doubted that the recovery would unfold, but I have been trading the 3-Day Cycle for fifteen (15) years and during that period there have been numerous scenarios that seemed doubtful.

One thing I have learned about trading in general and specific to the 3-Day Cycle…NEVER DOUBT!…Just stay aligned with the dominant force. Markets will go further than expectations and will frustrate the masses. Be in the winning minority. Steadfast opinions will only serve up losing trades.

Range for this session was 118 handles on 1.226M contracts exchanged.

Transition from Cycle Day 3 to Cycle Day 1

Transition into Cycle Day 1: Today begins a new cycle with the average decline projection measuring 6332 (Recap) and 6320 (Recap-MA).

Price closed near highs of the day as momentum may spill-over into today’s session before the next decline unfolds.

 

Of course, nothing changes for PTG…Simply follow your plan. Take only Triple A setups and manage the $risk. ALWAYS HAVE HARD STOP-LOSSES in-place on the exchange.

As such, scenarios to consider for today’s trading.
