Daily Trade Plans: What You Get and When
5 min read
Subscribing to the daily Trade Plans
Trade Plans publishes day-trade levels for 20 stock markets: SPY, ES, QQQ and NQ in the US, plus 19 more across Asia, Europe and the Americas, each posted after that market closes, for its next session. There are two tiers, and the difference between them is which session's levels you get.
The free tier
The previous session's levels for every instrument covered, together with a breakdown of how price actually behaved around them, and a chart per instrument with the levels drawn on it. The MyLinedChart levels are included.
The free tier is the honest way to judge the levels, because the session has closed and you can check every number against your own chart before paying for anything.
Pro
The upcoming session's levels, published within about two hours after each market closes, so they are on your chart before the next open. Each instrument carries its resistance, pivot and support points, plus the MyLinedChart levels you can turn into rules to reuse and journal. Everything in the free tier is included.
Current pricing is on the pricing page, and the sample plan shows the exact format both tiers arrive in.
When plans are sent
Every market day, after the close, for the following session. SPY and ES for the S&P 500, and QQQ and NQ for the Nasdaq 100, go out after the US close for the next US session. Each of the other 19 markets goes out within about two hours after its own close, for its next session, so each one arrives on its own schedule.
Market holidays have no session, so there is no plan. The schedule follows each exchange's calendar.
What one plan contains, top to bottom
Every plan follows the same order, so you always know where to look.
- The recap of the last session. One paragraph per instrument, told from the pivot: where price opened, which levels it reached, and where it closed. The recap also gives the intraday and overall change.
- The last session's levels. The full list, the nearest pivot, resistance above and support below, and the next level on each side of the pivot.
- A chart. The closed session with the published levels drawn on it.
- A free download. A file of the last session's levels for your own review and backtesting.
- The next session's levels. The Pro section, in the same layout as the last session's levels.
- Busiest levels. Also in the Pro section: how many times price touched each level and the volume traded there, busiest first.
Items 1 to 4 are free. Items 5 and 6 are Pro. The sample plan walks through a real NIFTY 50 plan in this order, and the glossary defines every word the recap uses.
The 20 markets and their sessions
Each market has its own hub page with every plan published for that market. Levels come from the regular session listed here, and each plan publishes within about two hours after that close.

Futures on most of these markets trade outside the regular session too. The levels describe the regular session because that window carries the most volume. The SPI 200 trading hours page shows how one market's day and night sessions fit together.
How the recap reads a session
The recap starts from the pivot, the level nearest the last price before the plan published. From there it reports what price did in plain words: held above the pivot, broke below the pivot, ran through every support level, or tagged one level and turned. When price never reached a level all session, the recap says so and gives the high and low instead.
Here is a real recap from the NIFTY 50 plan for September 15 2026:
NIFTY opened at 23562.60, dropped down and tagged the 23439.70 to 23486.10 zone and low at 23180, then ended up closing at 23220.
Every recap uses the levels exactly as they were published before the session, so you can check the story against your own chart.
Sundays: the weekly recap
Each Sunday a weekly recap covers the five sessions just finished for every market: the week's open and close, the high and low, the nearest support and resistance that held through the week, and the busiest levels across all five days. The weekly recap is free.

Upgrading, downgrading and cancelling
You can move from free to Pro at any time from the pricing page. Existing subscribers manage billing, including cancelling, from the account page. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the period you have paid for; access then reverts to the free tier.
Unsubscribing
Use the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any Trade Plans email. Removal is immediate. Unsubscribing from emails is separate from cancelling Pro, so cancel billing from the account page as well if that is what you intend.
Do I have to use email?
No. Every plan is published on the site as well, and the archive is at Trade Plans. Pro subscribers signed in on the site see the full plan there. Email is a delivery convenience.
Is this financial advice?
No. Trade Plans publishes objective market structure and levels. There are no signals, no calls on direction and no recommendations. You make and own your trades.
