How to use the Swing Trading Model to build a Roadmap
In this lesson, you’ll discover how to apply the Swing Trading Model to create a trading roadmap for any equity, including options and futures. We demonstrate how to leverage the five-day levels from the Swing Trading Model to identify key trading zones on your charts.
The Swing Trading Model provides upper and lower bands that define critical price areas for your roadmap. We show you how to plot these five-day levels on your chart to create clear zones between the bands. These levels are coded with dates (like August 02), but the specific code isn’t as important as understanding how to use the zones they create.
You can apply this roadmap technique to any ticker symbol, whether you’re trading options strategies like Iron Condor or futures contracts. We demonstrate the process using SPX, showing how to take the levels from the Swing Trading Model and plot them as reference areas on your chart. You can also combine these zones with Fibonacci tools to identify middle points and additional areas of interest within your defined range.
The practical benefit is having clearly defined areas where you should pay attention to potential trading opportunities. For options traders specifically, these zones help identify where to structure trades like Iron Condors. We emphasize that you should test this approach before implementing it in your live trading.
You can use this technique with any charting platform you prefer, including Trading View and Sierra Shot. Simply transfer the five-day levels from the Swing Trading Model into your platform, and then draw your zones or apply Fibonacci mapping to refine your roadmap areas.

[00:00:04.19] - Speaker 1 All right, I will look into the questions. If you have any other questions, champ, put this in the chat. Dean, Sean, feel free to ask me. Michael. Hi, Pat. Could such a roadmap technique be used on SPX with options trading or is this only for future? Okay, you can speak. Also.
[00:00:26.29] - Speaker 2 You can use this technique on any equity that's out there. Any ticker. Yeah.
[00:00:32.22] - Speaker 1 All right, let's go to the SPX what you was asking. Here we go. Take on indicator. Michael. Yeah. This was your name? Yeah. Michelle or Michael. Do you can come with open mic and can speak let me know right. Please, yes or no. If yes, then we can do this together and I think it's much more helpful for you and you can speak to me. What do you think? Is this a good idea? Michael?
[00:01:06.21] - Speaker 2 Hello everybody. Do you hear me?
[00:01:08.21] - Speaker 1 Yeah. Well, we have. Good. Welcome.
[00:01:12.04] - Speaker 2 Okay, thanks. Okay. I'm just a beginner. It's a very basic question, I think. But the only trading I did is relative to the option. I never touched the future trading. That's why I asked this question. What is the specific points with between option and future? What are the differences? And so, and well this is a point I, I try to understand.
[00:01:44.03] - Speaker 1 Okay. So futures and options are completely different. It's a different metal methodology. But how you can build your roadmap for options, there's a really nice tool and I was posting last week the levels from the five day swing trading model from Mentor Q. From our Mentor Q models. Do you know what are the five day levels? Are you.
[00:02:13.11] - Speaker 2 Yes, but I didn't yet see it. I have to.
[00:02:18.03] - Speaker 1 Okay, yeah, perfect. So what I was doing the levels what the swing trading model giving us. I was put this in as also like a blind spot. So you see here for example, five days. So this is the swing trading model. We have the upper band up and it's from eight is the August and 02 is day two. But this is not important like what, what the code is meaning. So for your roadmap, what you can technically do is you see now here we have areas between here based on the five day level and then you can say okay, this area also take out the indicator. And based on the roadmap, if you're trading based on your option strategy, what option strategy you're trading most of the time? Iron Condor, Something like this?
[00:03:21.06] - Speaker 2 Yes, indeed.
[00:03:22.29] - Speaker 1 Okay, perfect. So in this case you would have some area where you can say okay, this could be an area where I should be. Take a look into it. Also this is, this is the. I was not updating this. Sorry for my in not doing this because I was really busy. But I will update this. So there are three other days who are missing. And maybe we get here to the upside as a level. But I have to update this. And then based on this you can use this and only for example, so you can take out the indicator again if this is your range, you can also play around with the Fibonacci. What is the middle point from this? Here we go. You get the area like this. Boom. Only as inspiration. I'm not an options trader, I'm a futures trader. Sorry for this, but this is something where I can think this could be helpful. But you have to test this before, before you. Before you try this. So this, this could be some idea what you can, can take. Michael.
[00:04:40.03] - Speaker 1 I hope this makes sense.
[00:04:41.26] - Speaker 2 Yes.
[00:04:43.02] - Speaker 1 So for this reason we have the five day trading model. Yeah. So to. To show you what areas are really interesting. And if you bring this to our indicator like trading view, Sierra shot, whatever you trade, then you get some nice clear areas. And based on this you can draw also your Fibonacci or map of the areas. You can use the same principle but with different levels.
