The Mando Model is the trading model I created using ICT concepts to form a repeatable trading framework for myself.
It’s built around higher-timeframe context + liquidity + structure + imbalances.
Here’s the core logic broken down 🧵 $SPY
Most traders quit during the exact stretch that separates the average from the consistent.
They quit when the losses stack up.
When the strategy feels broken.
When their friends are flashing new cars and they’re still grinding charts at 2 AM.
The market doesn’t care how many courses you bought or how hard you studied.
It only cares whether you can execute with discipline when every instinct in your body is screaming to do the opposite.
Protect your capital.
Follow your rules.
Review your journal.
Then show up tomorrow and do it again.
The ones who make it aren’t the smartest in the room.
They’re the ones who refused to quit on the process.
Do you have what it takes?

The AI trade took another hit this week, but it was milder than last week’s thrashing.
$QQQ finished ~-0.7% (after last week’s -4.5%+).
The early week pump wasn’t enough to prevent the formation of new weekly resistance (bearish imbalance) and a new level to the downside has formed for the first time since February 2025.
Semiconductors $SOXX down ~3% (with a nasty ~7% hammering on Thursday).
$META and $TSLA earnings couldn’t save the market this time around either…
$CL Oil ripped higher again on the narrative of renewed Middle East tensions, while forming a weekly support level in the process.
Meanwhile $YM finished green (~+0.4%) as money rotated into energy, banks, and other non-AI areas.
Healthy breadth rotation everyone claimed they wanted… or the AI-driven 2026 bull market still showing cracks as the cost of capital and heavy spending bite?
Buying the dip in tech/ $NVDA or still raising cash?

@TrendSpider Next week is big. Needs a massive move to 703 to prevent weekly resistance from forming. Weekly support tagged but without energy next week I’d anticipate lower

@MandoTrading@_GalaxyTrading It’s amazing what you’ve built and accomplished. Waking up every day and being a part of this amazing community is one of the lights in my life. Words will never properly convey what it all means to me, but for now I’ll just say thank you, Mando, for everything.
