5/14 Trade Plan

Bias · Bullish above 7,450 / Bearish below 7,450 Waiting for the pullback → 7,450 is the key decision level

Key levels

PDL — deeper supportSupport

Context

ES extended overnight, printing a new overnight high at 7,499, with buyers defending the overnight low at 7,470. That changes the structure slightly: 7,470 = first support / ONL 7,450 = major retest support 7,499 = breakout decision level The market is strong, but we are now extended again. Key idea: Don’t chase highs Wait for pullback support to prove itself

Confirmation

  • 1️⃣ 15m acceptance at 7,470 or 7,499
  • 2️⃣ Reaction at extremes only
  • 3️⃣ VWAP aligned
  • 4️⃣ No chasing highs
  • No emotional breakout longs
  • No random shorts above support
  • No trading middle

Mindset

  • The move already happened → now wait for location
  • Best trade = patience into support
  • No need to be first
  • One clean trade → done
  • SPY (15 MIN)
  • I would want a pullback long at the 740 spot on SPY. Without that, you are slightly extended past the best retest level. If we hold over PDH, we could just continue higher but to setup a proper new entry, wait for that Monday retest.

Best window

10–11:30AM

How it played out

The primary setup never confirmed, so there was no trade.

price never reached 7470. Measured from m15 bars, ESM6, confirm entry, touch-based invalidation. Not a fill, and not a return: see how this is measured.
