What is Two Hour Trading?

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

  • Stacking the deck in your favor


If you are busy and want to see my commentary and ideas in real time consider joining THT-PRO.


Plan for Wed Jan 07

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.

SPY: Hold the Line or Break Free Today

Target reversals at key supports amid ADP jobs volatility

Market Context

SPY has been grinding higher in a choppy range over the past week, closing the previous session on January 6 at around 691.93 after a late-day push to 692.32. The index shows a bullish bias with higher lows forming since the December 31 low near 681.71, but momentum is fading as it tests resistance near 693.82. Chart patterns reveal a potential ascending triangle on the 1-hour timeframe, with consolidation between 687.94 support and the 690.13 pivot—watch for a breakout above 693.82 to confirm upside or a failed breakdown below 687.94 signaling pullback risk. Overall bias leans neutral-to-bullish pre-open, but today’s economic data could spark volatility, especially if ADP surprises to the upside.
