Let’s follow up on the weekend market context for S&P 500 / US100.
Here’s what we were watching:
- The daily gave us a clear bearish impulse, showing initiative from sellers
- The most recent demand zone was already partially mitigated, which reduced its reliability
- We marked 6945–7006 as the key supply zone to watch on any retrace
- We identified 6524–6662 as the next valid demand zone where further downside would make structural sense
What actually happened:
- Price retraced into the 6945–7006 supply zone
- On lower time frames inside that zone, we saw:
- - Distribution
- - A liquidity sweep of recent highs
- - A break of structure to the downside, remitigating lower TF supply
That sequence is exactly what we look for with the No‑Chase Swing Method:
- Higher‑time‑frame zone: a clear area where it makes sense to look for sellers
- Lower‑time‑frame confirmation: distribution + liquidity sweep + break of structure
- Defined risk: clear invalidation and asymmetric R:R if you execute
Full transparency:
I did not take this trade live. I wasn’t at the screens when the confirmation completed.
But for us as a group, this is still a win, because:
- The zones were clean
- The story made sense ahead of time
- The market respected the structure we mapped out
How to turn this into a practical edge for you as a 9–5 trader:
- Study the before/after charts for this move
- Pay attention to how price behaved inside 6945–7006 supply
- Using our rules, ask:
- - “Where would my entry have been?”
- - “Where does my stop belong?”
- - “Where’s a logical first target?”
If you’re not sure, do this:
- Mark up your chart with your proposed entry, stop, and target.
- Post it in Trade Reviews & Help with a short written plan.
- Tag me, and I’ll review it with you so you can tighten your execution.
Even when we personally miss individual trades, reps like this are how we:
- Build conviction in the method
- Strip out emotional decision-making
- Get ready to execute cleanly the next time this pattern shows up
The goal is not “catch every move.”
The goal is to consistently read structure, define risk, and execute the clean, rules‑aligned setups your schedule allows.
