Building a Real SPY Day-Trading Plan

Over the last few Zoom sessions, we've been working together to build a repeatable day-trading plan on SPY.

And the way we're tackling this problem is by starting with the basics that everyone skips:

📝 Step 1: Logging Trades + Paper Trading

Before jumping into real money, we're logging every trade and paper trading intentionally.

This is extremely important, because it gives us clear data points across different market environments – trending days, chop, volatility, slow sessions, everything.

You can't build a real mechanical edge unless you understand:

What your strategy looks like in various conditions
How your entries behave when volatility shifts
How your exits react on strong vs weak momentum
What your win loss profile acutally is
How your R changes through the week

Most traders never collect this data.

We are...

The goal is to see the truth, not guess.

By logging first, we're building a foundation that lets us refine entries, stops, and exits.

One brick at a time.
