What you will learn, step by step

Eight blocks, in the order you’ll use them each day first the map, then the day’s reading, then the trade, then the review.

Pre-market

• Volumetric analysis. How exchanges are distributed by level: areas of value, acceptance and rejection, imbalances, supports and resistances that have an owner.
• Options market. Open interest for strikes, position concentration, gamma exposure and gamma regime, gamma flip, daily, weekly and monthly call and put levels, the 0DTE.
• The Play Area. How to integrate volumes and options before opening: buy and sell zones, breakout and breakdown levels, targets, invalidation, day regime, and update when it changes.

Observation

• Statistics and probability. The recurring behaviors of the S&P 500, the probabilities conditioned by the price position relative to the levels, what happens after breaks, recoveries and rejections. Statistics as a filter: which trades to discard.
• The four windows. European session, US cash opening, US closing, Asian night: what to expect from each and where the method looks for trade.
• The intraday patterns. Level reaction, rejection and recovery, breakout with confirmation, continuation, reversal, range, trend. For each: entry, invalidation, management, target.

Management

• The operating styles. Scalp, intraday swing, trend following: when to use which, with stops and targets adapted to volatility and regime, and trade selection on risk, probability, and expected movement.

Revision

• The post-market. What to record at the end of the session and how to reread it, to distinguish the wrong trade from the right trade gone wrong and improve the process, not the P&L.

Please note that the course is taught in Italian.
