Introduction: What If You Could Spot a Trade Before It Moves?

Imagine knowing exactly where the market is headed—and simply waiting for price to come to you. That’s not a fantasy. It’s the essence of high-level, low-stress trading.

In this breakdown, I’ll walk you through a real SPY trade I posted before it triggered, how it unfolded exactly as planned, and what you can learn from it to improve your own trading—whether you trade SPY shares, leverage ETFs, or options.

This trade was shared Friday and hit perfectly on Monday for a clean, profitable move.

And the best part? No guessing. No chasing. No sitting in front of a screen all day.

Let’s break it down.

Trade Overview: SPY Setup Called Out in Advance

On Friday, I posted a trade analysis in my private members’ area and walked through the big-picture view of $SPY in a YouTube video. In that video, I marked a specific supply zone and outlined exactly what I was waiting for.

Fast forward to Monday—price came directly into that zone, triggered the entry, and delivered the clean reaction we expected.

Chart timeframe used: 30-minute and 2-hour charts
Zone used: Supply zone at ~550
Move captured: $7+ point move on SPY

Watch the full video [linked here] and you'll see how it was planned in advance—not after the fact.

The Power of Price Action & Supply Zones

Let me break down exactly what I saw—and how you can replicate it.

Why I Focus on Zones (Not Indicators)

While most traders clutter their charts with indicators, I simplify things by focusing on:

• Clean price action
  
  
• Key supply and demand zones
  
  
• Behavioral patterns
  
  

In this case, the 550 level had all the ingredients of a strong supply zone:

• Previous rejection
  
  
• Accumulation near the zone
  
  
• Confluence on multiple timeframes
  
  

Rather than entering early, I let price come to me—that’s a core part of my Set and Forget trading approach.

Step-by-Step: How the SPY Trade Unfolded

1. Friday – Zone Identified

• I marked out a clean supply area around 550.
  
  
• Shared this analysis in the member chat and on video.
  
  
• No entry taken yet—just waiting.
  
  

2. Monday – Price Comes Into the Zone

• Price touched the black line drawn on my chart—our trigger zone.
  
  
• We got a clear reaction off the level, exactly as expected.
  
  

3. Entry and Profit

• Trade offered up to 3.5:1 Reward to Risk.
  
  
• We took profits conservatively around 2.5:1, as price started to stall.
  
  
• Could’ve gone higher—but our goal is consistency, not greed.
  
  

Whether you traded this using SPY shares, leveraged ETFs like SPXL/SPXS, or call options—it worked beautifully.

Why “Set and Forget” Trading Wins

I don’t day trade in the traditional sense. I teach and trade using a Set and Forget model:

1. Mark key levels
2. Wait for price to come to your zone
3. Trigger your trade
4. Walk away

This approach reduces stress, improves accuracy, and gives you back your time. It’s how everyday people transition into professional-level traders—without sacrificing their careers or families.

Key Lessons From This Trade

If you’re serious about trading smarter, here are the takeaways:

1. Plan Before Price Moves

This trade wasn’t hindsight—it was planned before the move happened. This is how pros operate.

2. Don’t Chase—Wait

The market will always test your patience. Most traders jump in too soon or too late. I teach you how to time it just right.

3. Know When to Exit

We didn’t hold for max profit—we exited when price started stalling. A 2.5:1 R/R is excellent. Smart exits compound over time.

4. Focus on High-Probability Zones

Forget predicting direction. Focus on location—where price is likely to respond. That’s where the real edge is.

What’s Next for SPY?

As of post-market Monday, SPY is hovering around 592. The next key zone I’m watching is 600–605, where we could see euphoria kick in—and likely another strong supply area.

Final Thoughts

Too many traders rely on hype, indicators, or pure luck. This SPY trade proves that clear structure, planning, and patience beat the noise every time.

If you’re tired of:

• Getting in too late

Be smarter. Plan better. Trade less. Win more.
