Trading Recap Focus Video
Today’s session delivered a clean reminder of why discipline matters more than prediction. The ATI Around the Horn short was planned before the open with clearly defined levels and risk parameters. The first entry moved in our favor, and per the rules the stop was advanced to breakeven, resulting in a flat exit. Within minutes, price reset and triggered a valid second entry. By following the plan exactly as written—without hesitation after the breakeven stop—the trade captured the move from 119.50 down to 117.37 for a $2.13 per-share gain. The takeaway: plan the trade, trade the plan, and let disciplined execution—not emotion—do the work.

What Drove Price Action Today
Today’s price action was shaped by a familiar push-and-pull between strong macro headlines and cautious intraday positioning. Early momentum was driven by pre-market news and overnight futures, but follow-through quickly became selective as traders faded extended moves and focused on defined levels rather than broad trend continuation. Rotation under the surface kept the major indexes from moving in lockstep, with strength in some leadership names offset by consolidation or profit-taking in others.
As the session progressed, price action became more tactical than directional. Liquidity pockets around key technical levels created tradable back-and-forth moves, but conviction remained limited, reinforcing the importance of discipline, targets, and risk management. The result was a market that rewarded traders who executed their plan at pre-defined inflection points, while punishing impulse trades and late entries driven by “coulda-shoulda-woulda” thinking.
