Mid-October means playoff baseball, pumpkin candles, and a Sunday night futures market pretending it did not eat the entire candy bowl. I’m treating all four like decision trades because nobody gets credit for hovering near a line in the dark with nobody watching. ES gets the upside over 7866.75 and the downside under 7861.25. NQ has to reclaim 31080 or lose 31065.50. Crude chooses above 93.11 or below 92.40. Gold does its deciding between 4207.80 and 4201.90. Monday’s job is patience until one of those edges goes with real volume. Plenty of time to do something dumb. The first hour gets the vote. Until then, smoothbrain it. If you saw me on Friday on NT live sometimes the easiest way to trade is to have no plan and just press buttons on pure price action.
