Overview: Market Trade Plans
3 min read
What a daily plan looks like
This page walks through the structure of a Trade Plan so you know exactly what arrives before you subscribe. The numbers below are illustrative, chosen to show the format. Real plans carry the actual levels for the session ahead, and the published archive shows real ones.
1. The free section: how the last session played out
Every plan opens with the session that has already closed, one paragraph per instrument, quoting the levels that were published for it and what price actually did around them. This part is free, and it is the part that lets you judge the levels honestly, because the session is finished and you can check it against your own chart.
An illustrative paragraph:
QQQ opened at 588.40, above the 587.10 pivot. It held that pivot on the first pullback at 9:52am, ran to 591.85 against the 592.00 resistance, and stalled there for the rest of the morning. The afternoon fade took it back through the pivot at 2:15pm and it closed at 585.60, below the 586.20 support.
No verdict is attached. The paragraph says what happened around the published prices and stops there. Whether that constitutes a good level, or a tradeable one for you, is yours to decide.
2. The paid section: levels for the session ahead
Below the paywall are the levels for the upcoming session, one block per instrument. Each block carries the pivot and the levels either side of it:
- Resistance: 592.00, 594.75
- Pivot: 587.10
- Support: 586.20, 583.40
That is the whole plan for one instrument. There is no entry price, no target, no stop and no direction, because those depend on your strategy, your account size and your risk rules, none of which the plan knows.
3. Which instruments appear
US plans cover SPY, ES, QQQ and NQ. The Australian plan covers ASX 200 / SPI and publishes separately, after the Sydney close.
Not every instrument appears every day. When the levels for one do not resolve into anything worth trading, it is marked sidelined rather than padded out with a setup that is not there. The S&P pair tends to sideline together, so SPY and ES show up less often than QQQ and NQ.
4. Charts
Each instrument in the free section comes with a chart of the closed session, with the published levels drawn on it, so you can see where price met them without rebuilding the picture yourself.
5. MyLinedChart levels
The same levels are available as data for MyLinedChart, which draws them on your chart and exports the whole thing as XLSX, JSON or CSV. That matters if you keep records or want an AI agent to turn the levels into rules. It saves time rather than unlocking anything: every number is written out in the plan, so you can plot them by hand on any platform.
What a plan deliberately does not contain
- No entry or exit prices.
- No direction calls, and no view on whether the market goes up or down.
- No position sizing, which depends on an account the plan cannot see.
- No performance claims, win rates or track record framing.
The plan gives you the prices that mattered before and are likely to matter again. Everything after that is your strategy.
Getting the plans
The free tier gives you the prior session's levels and the breakdown above. The paid tier adds the upcoming session's levels the evening before. See subscribing and tiers or go straight to pricing.
