Polaris Trading Group Summary – Thursday, September 25, 2025
Overview:
Thursday delivered a tactical, technically clean session built on process discipline, timing precision, and level confluence. Both Manny and David guided the room through multiple high-probability setups around key zones like 6655 and 6625, with Manny’s “Clock” study proving to be the highlight educational tool of the day.
Key Levels & Setups:
-
6655 Support Zone:
Marked as a major support early by Manny, confirmed by David via multiple signals (Zero Gamma, CD2 Violation, Fib Cluster, Money Box, T3).
Lesson: More confluence = stronger level. -
Squeeze Attempt (6710–6715):
Manny flagged potential for a push toward 6745, but failed reclaim of 6700–6705 invalidated it. -
Clock Timing Windows:
Manny’s Clock called the day beautifully:-
11:15–11:50 → LOW (on target)
-
12:30–1:00 → HIGH pivot
-
2:00–2:45 → LOW pivot (lined with A4 long off 6630)
-
3:30 → Final HIGH pivot into the close
Result: Textbook precision. Huge educational win.
-
Successful Trades & Highlights:
-
Morning Short: Breakdown through 6655 → continuation to 6646. OR Targets 1 & 2 hit.
Lesson: Short setups work when bulls can’t reclaim 6700. -
Late Morning Long: At the 11:30 pivot, Manny rode a reclaim from 6660 → 6700+ → 6760.

Entry: A10 trigger.
-
Outcome: +40 points.

No SPX gap fill after 12:30—read as bearish nuance.

Takeaways:
-
Trust preparation → confidence follows.
-
Clock timing added exceptional edge.
-
Manny’s 40-pointer underscored the value of structure + signal + timing.
