Hey gamers,
Still broadcasting from France where it’s wine o’clock and you’re having your morning coffee.
Day two of being “out of pockety” as I eloquently put it yesterday, and watching some of you panic about no official zones while others just go ahead and print money anyway.
Let me explain something important.
But here’s what marklboyd knows that new members don’t: “First trade I took with Game Plan was a big loss. Then it reeled off 10 wins in a row. At times it is uncanny how accurate the zones are.”
The magic isn’t in trading every day. The magic is in only trading when probability is stacked in our favor.
Yesterday, no official zone. But look what happened:
archie goes rogue: “No game plan today but I still made 48% on $616 calls”
Yan takes their first real money swing: “BUY +3 SPY 100 1 JUL 25 616 CALL @1.50… SELL @1.62” – First trade ever, 8% profit.
Vindicator showing off: “spx 6205 calls 2.05 to 4.10 100% 5 contracts”
You’re not just following alerts anymore. You’re developing an eye for setups.
Yan asking “When do trade alerts normally post?” and Trader Kathy explaining “There is no specific time. It can be any time before 3 ET.”
New members want certainty. Veterans understand uncertainty is part of the edge.
krann gets it: “Another no trade day most likely.”
They’re not panicking about missing action. They’re recognizing when there’s no clean action worth taking.
While I’m fighting jet lag and French mosquitoes, you’re learning the most important trading skill: patience.
hammy wondering “be nice if she could update us ??” – I hear you. But part of this game is learning to read the market without me holding your hand.
Hawks911 still finding opportunities: “Here comes a breakout!” and “Just made a sweet little profit on that run”
The system works because it doesn’t force trades. It waits for probability to align.
When there’s no zone, you can:
Mistermikeosu proving the point: “I doubled my account in three trades…”
He’s not worried about missing days. He’s focused on hitting the ones that matter.
I could send you a zone every day. Point to some random level and say “here, trade this.”
But I’d rather deal with Old Guy’s anxiety about “2 out of 3 days no calls” than watch you lose money on garbage setups.
Powell speaking from Portugal (while I handle French time zones) talking about being “prudent” and “waiting.” Even the Fed understands patience pays.
The market doesn’t care about your monthly fee or your FOMO. It moves when it wants to move.
Love watching Dawn Mey keeping everyone informed about economic data while I’m dealing with 6-hour time differences.
Daniel staying productive: “I am shopping for good stocks today”
You’re becoming traders, not just zone-followers.
Some days the best trade is no trade.
Some days the market is telling you to wait.
Some days your job is to not lose money on chop and save your capital for when probability matters.
The market hit all-time highs Monday. Now it’s digesting, consolidating, waiting for the next catalyst.
Daniel nailed it: “Market will likely chop around here a bit more”
Why would I send you into that meat grinder?
I’ll keep scanning from whatever French café has the best WiFi. If there’s a zone, you’ll get it. If not, you’ll survive another day with your account intact.
Patience pays more than FOMO.
The zones will come. They always do. And when they arrive, we’ll be ready with clear heads and full accounts.
Keep studying. Keep learning. Keep resisting the urge to force trades just because you’re bored.

P.S. – To everyone asking about weekly trades and daily zones – remember, we trade probability, not schedules. The market doesn’t care about your calendar.
