The week ahead, in one card.
$NVDA earnings and PCE both land Wednesday. Jackson Hole runs all week. Payroll revisions Friday.
Two things move the whole tape on the same afternoon — that is a week to have your levels marked before the news, not after it.

This is The Ticker Room
One free level every market day. A free dashboard. A free Discord where the full map lives.
Education only — no signals, no hype. Link in bio.
$SPY tagged 772 twice. Rejected twice.
That is the one level I gave away free this morning — marked before the open, no indicators, no alerts, doing all the work.
FOMC minutes at 2:00. The level gets its real test then.
Small one in the account today. $GOOGL 345c — in 1.39, out 1.59, eight minutes. +14%.
Options were pricing a ±$2.85 SPY day — chop tape. No home runs out there, so you take the base hit the market gives you and you're done.
Every trade gets posted here — wins and losses, real fills.
Morning map for Tue Aug 18.
$SPY 768 is my line — bounce there and I'm looking at calls, break-retest-hold below and puts are in play. Options pricing a ±$2.85 day. VIX 15.8, calm.
Housing starts 8:30, industrial production 9:15. $HD reaction sets the retail tone at the open.

Day one of The Ticker Room.
I built a free trading dashboard — morning brief, levels, earnings implied moves, ticker research. No signup, no paywall, live every market day.
Now I'm building the room around it: real education, honest feedback, every stage of the journey welcome. No signals. No hype.
