Full Emini and Forex daily reports will only be issued when Al is in the Trading Room. See sidebar calendar for “No Webinar” days when this “SP500 Emini trade setups” post will replace the daily report.
Here are several reasonable stop entry setups from yesterday. I show each buy entry with a green rectangle and each sell entry with a red rectangle. Buyers of both the Brooks Trading Course and Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns have access to a much more detailed explanation of the swing trades for each day (see Online Course/BTC Daily Setups).
My goal with these charts is to present an Always In perspective. If a trader was trying to be Always In or nearly Always In a position all day, and he was not currently in the market, these entries would be logical times for him to enter.
If the risk is too big for your account, you should wait for trades with less risk or trade an alternative market like the Micro Emini.

Charts use Pacific Time
When I mention time, it is USA Pacific Time (the Emini day session opens at 6:30 am PT, and closes at 1:15 pm PT). You can read background information on the intraday market reports on the Market Update page.
Question re MM approach, was is right to consider Bar1 open till Bar2 close as MM down and to expect similar size of move toward bottom?
I wrote about this on the more detailed version of the chart in my Encyclopedia.
Half of the strong moves on the open are simply tests of support or resistance and will reverse. This selloff on the open was a test of the 60-minute EMA and Friday’s close.
It was strong enough for at least a small 2nd leg down, but unless it broke far below support, traders knew there was a 50% chance it would lead to the low of the day. That means that by the close of the 2nd bar, there was significantly less than a 50% chance of a measured move down.
Noted, tnx!
