Hey Gamers,
What a morning, right? I’m sitting here looking at our put zone that just got absolutely destroyed in one candle – straight through the entire range like it wasn’t even there.
But you know what?
Some of you made bank anyway. Daniel front-ran it perfectly and walked away with 4.90 to 6.90. Sicario got .80 to 1.20. Quick scalps for those who jumped early.
Here’s the thing though – that wasn’t technically a Game Plan trade. No 5-minute close in the zone means no official trigger. Period.
The Beauty of Mechanical Trading
This is exactly why we stick to the rules, people. Did some of you make money today? Yeah.
Is that the system working? Not really – that was you gambling and getting lucky this time.
The system is what keeps you from blowing up when you’re wrong. Today it kept most of you out of what could’ve been a nasty flush if you weren’t quick enough.
But CRS did something really smart that caught my attention – treated the put zone like a call zone when it reverted back up. That’s next-level thinking right there. Reading actual price action instead of just following zones blindly. You guys are so clever, I’ll never stop learning from you.
SSO Reality Check
I’m seeing some panic about SSO being down 35%. Stop it. Just stop.
It expires August 1st. We’ve got over a week left. If you can’t handle a weekly trade being red for one day, options aren’t for you. Go buy index funds.
Some of you are smart and averaging down at 1.30. Others are talking about cutting losses at 40% down. Here’s my take – we entered this trade with full knowledge of the risk. Let it breathe.
What Actually Happened Today
The market’s doing this weird thing where value stocks are gaining while tech/growth is getting hammered. Earnings are creating some sell-the-news action even on decent results.
Plus there’s all this Stargate AI project drama that’s got everyone questioning if the AI hype is overcooked.
Our put zone acted like a trap today because price was trying to break the 40 EMA, but honestly?
Sometimes that’s just how it goes when there’s this much earnings noise.
Call zone’s still active at 6312 if we touch it clean.
The Bottom Line
Three losses in two months. That’s our track record. Everything else has been wins, including that ridiculous 147% SPY trade we had.
This is why Game Plan is my favorite passive income strategy. I was literally making money while dodging hairpin turns in the Italian Alps. The zones work whether I’m watching every tick or trying not to get carsick checking my phone between mountain passes.
We’re at all-time highs with a market that wants to go higher. The VIX is basically saying “yeah, we’re good here.” Sometimes zones flush. Sometimes they don’t. That’s the game.
Your job is still the same – decide how much money you think is fair for that 90% probability, then let the Game Plan do its thing.
There’s always another trade, gamers.
Rock on,
Voz
P.S. – Powell wants 1% rates. Cool story, Jerome. Maybe focus on not causing problems for home buyers first.
P.P.S. – Stop thinking about it, and join Game Plan if you haven’t done so already.
