Quick Tip: Multi-Strat 

Yesterday’s price action did not trigger any trades in the S&P futures for two of our strategies, Volume Profile and Volatility Reversal. Plenty of patience is required when day trading and not getting a quality setup. 

Fortunately, we also trade an intraday Trend/Momentum strategy that ran for 38.25 points (see chart above). It’s not uncommon for the strategies to diverge. Market conditions change and so should your choice of strategy. 

We did utilize the Volume Profile levels to our advantage, however. They work well for placing the short strike on 0DTE SPX spreads. Yesterday’s Bull Put and Bear Call spreads were filled and profitable. 

Our trading teams focus on multiple strategies for day trading futures and high-probability candidates for swing trading options. Maybe you'll fit right in. You can try either or both risk-free. 

Trade Fearlessly,
