Yestereday on the morning prep, ExpPro highlighted a major exposure cluster in SPX around 6540. This level represented the "max bullish strike" , meaning concentrated risk was present there. The profile showed:
Heavy call-side exposure stacked into 6540 → market participants needed to sell futures to stay hedged.(Mornings Opening profile shown on Tradingview)
As of now Vol (VIX) is not agreeing with the down path. will have to see how the morning develops and if we see a push north of 16.30 for the downside move in ES. Else Id be cautious of grind back on ES. and possible move over 7600 spx. Over 7600 spx tests 7615-20 , under 7585 then were looking for spx 7570-50
Game plan: cautious open, respect chop inside the Prior value range, but if ES loses the 7580/weekly PVAH area and vol firms, downside targets toward 7550 SPX / 7540–7520 ES come into play. otherwise chop range with long gamma/suppressive charm regime currently. #SPX#ES_F #Futures #Futurestrading #VS3D
@askcoachboye@josh_uglyasf yeah it was crazy , that was in the late 90s as well, you NEVER saw anyone that tattooed in public. The others I have no idea about, they look like they're off their rocker. but she had a legit reason back in the day lol.
Julia Gnuse was diagnosed with Cutaneous Skin porphyria, ANY Sun exposure caused intense blisters, burning, itching, and swelling. She became the most tattooed woman in order to re-pigment her skin so she could simply walk outside. It worked. She lived right by my high school, and we would see her all of the time walking everywhere. She was kind, and always willing to stop and show her work. She had a host of other health problems as well, and eventually passed away in 2016.
Thesis (pre-market):
Day, week, and month all rotational
Bimodal exposure profile = two-sided day
Suppressive charm ceiling: 7460–7475
Supportive charm floor: 7390–7400
Decision window 12–1 PM
Plan: short breakdown 7400/7405 → 7380, or long reclaim 7400 after 1 PM for a squeeze to 7430-65
What happened:
Pushed the 7460s, rejected
Flushed into the 7390s zone, held
Reclaimed 7400 after 1PM
Closed rotational, inside the implied range

@VolSignals Dealer profile plus the Gamma and Charm map gave us clear expectations for today. If the 25 strike breached higher, we had a large swath of short structure and a pocket of neutral-to-short gamma into the afternoon, along with a supportive charm narrative if we moved higher. This was all pre-RTH open. We had a full plan by the open, did not get the VIX move higher, and were able to capitalize on the rally.
The insight VS3D paired with our Blueprint approach gives us daily is absolutely insane. Auction market theory, paired with the "Must" of dealer hedging and the prescriptive path of Charm, all put together, literally feels like cheating some days. #SPX #Futures
https://t.co/KEffZPnz9A is live. The new home for Foundry education is finally open, Our Blueprint course is the first one available publicly.
The Blueprint is the complete trading framework the Foundry community runs on ES futures every morning. Three pillars: auction market theory, multi-timeframe VWAP, and dealer positioning. Sixteen modules. Roughly fifty hours of content video, written, and visual content. Custom Vwap, and Greek exposure indicators, among a list of others. Chart templates, and layouts for Tradingview, Sierra chart, and think or swim. Quick study guides for all modules. And a TON of additional tools and value.
If you've been trading ES without a consistent framework, the Blueprint gives you one to work from. Not a guaranteed-win system, just structure you can pressure-test against and build process with. We are SUPER excited to finally share it. #futures #ES_F #ESfutures
One-time purchase, lifetime access.

@VolSignals Yeah, I have seen the same in the our top 10 names. We watch the heavy hitters closely with what we have, AAPL, AMZN, TSLA, NVDA, META etc. Have seen a ton of interesting plays line up with our tools, and systems, can only imagine the edge if we had the explicit positions. 👊
