Another amazing day!!!! I had one job yesterday and do it in under 2 hours. Nail 1 trade in the afternoon. Took 2 or 3 trades. Each went risk-free (sell 50% at 100% + profits), with overall goal to plan and position for 500%+ And we got it. It actually went 1100% at peak.

Two Hour Trading is my system for finding and executing trades while spending less than two hours a day trading. My goal is to earn 100-300% on the capital I risk while waiting for 1000%+ gain trades to set up. Key benefits include:
High-quality trades with excellent reward vs. risk
Avoiding overtrading and losses from it
Trading to win vs. trading not to lose

Trade Recap for Tue Mar 04
GOLD BOLD ITALIC = price action signal
WHITE REGULAR = action to take/taken
GREEN REGULAR = trades I should have taken
SPY / SPX
If you are busy and want to see my commentary and ideas in real time consider joining THT-PRO.
Wow what a day!
My personal goal yesterday was to trade much less and catch up on sleep. I’ve been hard at work coding. This week email and UI based notifications will go live.
Highlights:
SPY flush right to the 570-573 target zone I told THT Pro members to watch for
I told members I refuse to chase short into new lows on a gap down. Process = Protection and there will be missed profits. I partially regret not jumping into 5700p that went from 4 to 12. But like I said and PLANNED for, I am not interested in 100-200% gain trades. The market has given me plenty of opportunity after 1pm to make 500-1000%.. Yesterday was no different.
After support established, and I saw 577.80 clear, I look for dips to go long target 5850 to come. I got 5x gains. Took my profits.
On the first push ito 578 I took a short position and when it doubled sold 50% to make it free. so if downside came I wa hedged, and I was free to be patient to scoop and hold long.
I soon as I sold I left to go enjoy the day missing the obvious short on 585.50 rejection and 584 break for a failed breakout reversal. Remember I wanted gap fill to get short. That was the only place I felt comfortable. Unfortunately I missed it but process wise that should have been a no brainer.
Yesterday was last day of carnival so I had to go enjoy. When you have faith in your process and know more profits are coming, you don’t have to overtrade. Wait for the high probability trade, consider going for bigger size and collect your gains. A $1000 position easily hit $6000-12000! Hone your skills, develop your confidence… Trade to win!
Education - How to Join a Strong Trend
The process I typically follow for joining a strong trend are as follows:
All day grinder: join on dips to 20ma
Multi-day grinder:
Join either on support test of morning lows/failed breakdown reversal
Join at vwap mid day or end of day
Keep it simple. Don’t chase, wait for support levels for great risk/reward entries!
Education - Systematic Profit Taking
How do I take profits? I keep it relatively simple. Depending on the entry and range to the next levels I typically with take profits 50-100% of my profits at 3-10R and then raise stops to above entry with a goal of letting runners take me to the next level or 2 and to then reload if I believe we are consolidating before the next leg.
I then repeat the same process on the reload.
Let me know in the comments if you have questions or would like to see examples, I’ll share them.
Trade Ideas - Plan for Wed Mar 05
Stick to process. The process and trade setups I teach works. Rinse and repeat over and over again. There will be losses. Any good system will have them. Being systematic also means the gains will repeat and come again too. If you keep changing your system/process trying in an effort to never lose a trade, you will never get to where you want to go.
Ideas
There is risk of Trump saying a deal is done and lifts tariffs on Mexico/Canada. But until them market sentiment is bearish.
I head a lot of people complain about the action yesterday. If you are using my process and levels it was clear as day. If not spend time with me in THT PRO and be patient. Many new members say they are trading better, and learning how to spot the trades like I do. Some pick it up right away and others take more time. But if you dedicated, focused, do daily trade reviews you will improve!
My plan for today is to look for 2-4 level moves for possible reversal. I expect today to be choppy and I’m making it ok to not open trades. Like yesterday unless a 4 level move comes, I plan to wait for 1-2pm before opening any new trades.
My focus today…
