Train and Trade 9-4-2025

Building a Trading Plan That Guides Your Decisions

Today’s Train and Trade focused on Building a Trading Plan That Guides Your Decisions — how to structure a plan with levels, timing, and risk rules so you’re not left guessing.  Tom also covered his Moonlight Trading Club.  You can try it for 30 days by clicking here

🔑 Highlights from Today

🎯 Realistic Goals

  • Break your goals into time horizons: 3 months, 6 months, 3–5 years

  • Deploy your assets strategically (don’t jump from 0% invested to 100% invested overnight)

  • Create silos in your approach: dividend providers, growth stocks, speculative names, precious metals, and everyday trading

📍 Market Entry

  • Apply the First Three Days Process: mark the monthly high and low early

  • When the market breaks one side, the opposite becomes a strong “All Bets Off” level

🔮 Forecasting Tools

  • Use the RoadMap Software and the RoadMap Predictor

  • Be ready for what could go wrong — not just what should go right

  • Always use S&P 500 Futures for timing clues

📊 Trade + Market Notes

  • For those who joined on Thursday, check in on the TQQQ Debit Call Spread. More setups like that may appear during Train and Trade Live as the market allows.

  • In today’s market, our trigger numbers came from two opens:

    • Open of the month (ES): 6478.75

    • Open of the day: 6460.00

  • On the TQQQ chart:

    • 89.97 aligned with the ES futures open of the month

    • 90.23 matched the high of the Genesis Bar forming during today’s event

    • This showed TQQQ already positioned to push higher, with clear topside resistance in place

✅ And, as always, Tom reviewed the Top 20 FTD Algo stocks, updated live in each session.
