Daily Outlook
We forecast a down day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m. We were focused on daily target level of 6260 in the SPX as our stop level. As it broke that level, we exited our positions just after 9:50 a.m. for -32% in SPX and -33% in SPY. The rally back through that level was concerning and why we exited. The market did turn and greater profit was possible later in the day for those that were willing to risk a bit more here. We were able to capture some of the run in our Aggressive Trader. Unfortunately, it just didnโt go our way fast enough today, so we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring!

Just before 3:10 p.m. we entered a put option trade. Today was another extremely fast trade, as often happens with the Late Day Trader. Our position very quickly hit nearly +40% (within 1 minute). Then it started to reverse course. We were watching the strike price of 6225 closely. As the market seemed to be rallying we exited our position just after 3:15 p.m. for -3%.

7/10/2025
Daily Outlook
We forecast an up day in the market and entered our positions at 9:35 a.m. We were focused on the 6257 level in SPX as our stop level. This was just below the low of the day, and a break through that level would be concerning. As it broke that level we exited our positions just before 9:50 a.m. for -27% in SPX and -27% in SPY. ย The market did eventually turn and rally as forecast, and much greater profit was possible later in the day. Always a bit frustrating exit at a loss, just before the market turns. But that happens from time to time. We attempt to limit our losses and let our winners run. At times that means we exit a bit too early, but over the long run this approach has been most profitable for us. So we shake it off and look forward to what tomorrow will bring!
