$10K in a Week Trading the S&P 500

Hello traders,

From June 15th to June 22nd, I locked in over $10,000 in trading profit. 

In this breakdown, I’m going to show you exactly how I did it.

No guessing. No gambling. Just a repeatable process and a proven playbook I apply every single day, regardless of what’s happening in the world.

Markets were wild last week. Geopolitical headlines, macro uncertainty, all of it. But my strategy didn’t change. 

Why? Because it’s not built on reacting emotionally. It’s built on structure, order flow, and volume analysis—the stuff that actually moves markets.

In the video, I take you inside my best trade of the week – a short on the S&P 500 that played out perfectly on Friday.

If this changes how you see trading, don’t miss the setup that ties it all together – built on imbalance, liquidity, and timing ahead of the Fed. It’s pure auction logic in action.

It all started with a rally into prior resistance – an area that had already sparked multiple sell-offs in the past. I didn’t try to guess which exact level would trigger the move. Instead, I used volume profile analysis to pinpoint where buyers had previously been overwhelmed.

I found my level: the highest volume node from the session open. 

As price rallied into it again, I waited for confirmation. That came from the volume footprint chart – a tool that reveals exactly where within a candlestick buyers and sellers were most active.

What I saw was a textbook. No panic. No emotion. Just data, structure, and execution.Check the video to see how I did it.

If you’re tired of forcing trades and ready to wait for the ones that call you in with real alignment, structure and intent, this is the perspective shift you need.

Whether you’re new to futures or already experienced, this breakdown will show you how to approach trades with clarity, consistency, and a professional mindset.

See you in the next one.
