My Intraday Trading Rules
I do not trade within the first half hour UNLESS I am in a trade from the prior session and looking to close the trade or we have a major gap or a key level already broken I let the initial balance do its thing - I am just a small fish in a large ocean of traders so let's let them fight it out…

I outlined a few key trading strategies and weekly planning we use below.

Dark Matter Trade
2/13 SPX, SPY, ES, QQQ Trade Plan

I enjoy interacting and learning from other traders so continue to share your trades, ideas, and how you use this trade plan by messaging us on Twitter @DarkMatterTrade and @CaptainWick.

At a high level we leverage:

    1. We never predict, like a wave we simply just want to ride it along for however long we can

    2. For a better understanding of the various greeks I would suggest you visit the Volland YouTube Page. Volland provides unique data showing where dealers are positioned providing in my opinion a higher degree of conviction to where price may move to.

  2. We use key charting strategies such as

    1. Volume Profile

    2. Orderblocks and Fair Value Gaps

To cover our basis…

While we provide a daily trading plan it is meant to only help guide our intraday trading. The purpose of this letter is not to advice you on your trading or investment decisions. I am simply documenting my daily trading plan for myself to help with planning and execution. These are simply my opinions and the data sourced from the likes of vol.land, TradingView, Tradytics and others. The stock market is risky, gains are not guaranteed. This is not about getting rich quick, but learn to educate yourself and make the necessary financial decisions on your own. This is not financial advice.


Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the trade plan goes directly to your inbox.
