| The session opened with a neutral overnight tone and early focus on the bull scenario from the DTS briefing — sustained bids above 6375 targeting the 6390–6395 zone. That target was met right out of the gate, with longs authorized until a bearish structure emerged. |
| Key trades included: |
- NQ Open Range Long – Target 1 hit early, then all targets fully met by mid-morning.
- CL Open Range Short – Target 1 reached, but stop trail brought it back to near break-even.
- A10 scale-and-trail provided further upside participation.
- Retest of the 6400 level was pivotal — a potential break lower was flagged, but buyers defended 6398 for a time.

| PeterN shared success using 13/34/89 EMA stacker strategy from prior PTG content to stay out of losing shorts — a solid example of applying lessons learned. Manny also highlighted SPX/ES GEX levels (6370 & 6395) that lined up well with market reactions. |
| By late morning, David called it a “Capital Preservation Day” as the best trades were in the books, shifting focus to defending gains. The 6390–6395 zone was backtested, with a “line in the sand” at 6375. Large GEX levels reinforced expectations for strong buy responses, and David noted a PKB long trigger if 6395 was reclaimed. |
| Highlights & Lessons: |
- Early targets were precise and actionable, rewarding those who followed the DTS plan.
- EMA stacking method proved valuable in keeping traders aligned with the trend.
- Recognizing when the “best trades are behind us” is as important as taking the early entries.
- GEX awareness added another layer of confluence to intraday decision-making.

| It was a morning of measured, strategic execution with an emphasis on locking in wins and preserving capital into the afternoon. |
