Slow Tape — Take It One Setup at a Time
by Tony Rago

Expecting another slow tape today, and I’ll be pleasantly surprised if we finally break out of this range. I’m perfectly happy trading the range for the time being, but you cannot overstay your welcome in this environment. These are the days where you get your day made, recognize that the opportunity was there, and move on. Hanging around and trading out of boredom is where things can go sideways quickly.

So keep it simple and take it one setup at a time. If the market gives us expansion, we’ll be ready for it. If it stays rangebound, we’ll work the range and call it a day. No need to force the issue—let price prove it’s ready to move. 💪

👉 Full breakdown is inside today’s Pre-Market Playbook.

Check it out here and trade it smart.

Until next time,
Tony
