Pro traders aren't any better at "predicting" where the market will go than a hobby trader, and its not the job. The difference is all in execution: Finding lvls, protecting profits once available, stopping out & adjusting when wrong, and consistant loss size control. Focus there

It's been extremely organized technicals today in #ES_F. Today's short squeeze target was 5802 given at 8am. We hit 5802 almost exact, and sold. 5760-63 then became support. I wrote bulls had to push *fast* there, & they did, +15 now 5788, 5802 remain next. 5760 fails, sell 5741

Closing update #ES_F: After selling off 5802 short squeeze target, 5760-63 became as posted all day, and ES agrees, basing here for hours. Next week, 5828 will be the next big back-test hurdle above 5802. Newsletter out soon talking entries for Monday tradecompanion.substack.com

After "elevator down" days like yesterday, #ES_F *always* gets a short squeeze. Today's short squeeze level and final was 5802 to backtest. We hit it, and sold. I warned to lock in gains there 5760-63 support (weak), back again now. Bulls can't push *fast* now, 5741 next down

Today's final target was 5802, where I warned to *lock in gains and protect profits*. Now low quality chop. Most days are like this: A+ move to start, then tons of chop. If you over-trade, you lose. Bulls want to keep seeing basing <5802, which sets up 5819, 5828. Same supports

Highly organized action in #ES_F. I was looking for a short-squeeze today. 5802 was my final target given at 8am & we dipped there exact. I warned 1hr ago *anymore upside today* is bonus. Bulls want to see flagging now below 5802, which sets up 5819, 5828. 5779, 5763=supports

3 targets were given for today at 8am: 5770, 5788, 5802. We are coming into 5802 now in #ES_F. Its been a big run, and now its time for profit protection mode. Lock in any remaining gains, leave a tiny runner. This is a routine, post "elevator down" squeeze. 5819, 5828 next

Straighforward session. At 8am, I gave 3 targets for today's relief bounce: 5770 1st (hit), 5788 2nd (hit), 5802. As written in last nights newsletter short squeezes *always* follow "elevator down" sessions like yesterday. No exceptions. Lock in more gains here, let runner go

Relief bounce remains underway in #ES_F. Today's targets were 5770, 5788, 5802. When we hit 5770, I warned 50mins ago to lock in profits, and let a runner work. Don't over-trade in choppy noise and give it. *Bears retain control*. 5788, 5802 next up. 5760, 5741 (major)=supports

Quick start the day in #ES_F & todays ~5770 1st target hit. Remember that bears still retain control, so for those long *do not be greedy, lock in gains, let runners do the heavy lifting*. This is relief pop. 5788, 5802 are next up. 5760-63 now support, 5741 below (sell under)

On Wednesday eve, #ES_F got the 1st short trigger in over a week by losing 5843. We then got 30hrs of "elevator down" selling, getting to 5744 target. Relief pop now, but bears keep control until 5802, 5828 recover Plan: 5770, 5788, 5802 next up. 5741=support. Sell 5721-26 below

We continue to work down the levels in #ES_F following the 5843 short trigger to initiate "elevator down", which refers to one directional selling. Nothing to do but keep trailing those stops until short squeeze hits 5744, 5729 next. 5763 must reclaim to pop. Bears control <5828

Closing update #ES_F: All eyes on Apple/Amazon now and ES just chopping now until then. 5741, 5721-25 are supports below here if ES decides to flush another leg. 5763 must reclaim to pop to 5779, 5788+. Newsletter was sent out 1hr ago with entries tradecompanion.substack.com

1stt breather of the day for #ES_F. 5842 was the short trigger last night in #ES_F, triggering a routine "elevator down" (this refers to several hours of 1 way selling where every support fails). We hit 5758 target, basing since 5790 1st resistance up now. 5744, 5729 below 5758

5758 next target hit, now down nearly 100 points from ystds 5843 short trigger. Routine "elevator down" down day & as warned hourly *it continues until a major support recovers*. #ES_F resting here 5744, 5729-25 next. 5763 reclaim could see mini-pop to 5790. Bears control <5828

Big follow through continues as we get a routine "elevator down" day, down 80 points from 5840 short trigger. Remember sells in #ES_F aren't slow, they melt all supports for hours, then ES puts in a violent squeeze. Let runners work 5758, 5744 next. 5790 must reclaim to pop

As I frequently write in the newsletter, we don't need to guess when sells will come in #ES_F. We don't need to fight strength, or try to top pick. We wait for well tested, supports to fail (5843 in this case) then we *react* short Bears control until 5800 1st, 5828 recover.

5790 next target down hit in #ES_F and incredible follow through on this short, down 50 points from 5840 short trigger. As warned since 8am Bears have control, and does not change until a major resistance (5828) recovers. 5800 may mini squeeze before that though 5779, 5758 next

In #ES_F uptrends, selloffs are rare (we get about 1 per week). Last evening, we got the 1st short in a week on the failure of the 5843 range support, triggering a 40 point flush. Today, 5828 is the bull/bear line now. Squeeze above. 5800, 5792-90 next down if ES wants more red

Lvls continue to respect in #ES_F. Today's target was 5882 where I warned it was major resistance, and to lock in gains. It was high of day. 5855 then became support. Held once exactly, back again now. Noise until earnings. 5855 fails, 5838 next. 5864 must reclaim to rally
