Using Gamma Levels & 1 Day Expected Move To Trade Magnificent
Build an Actionable Trading Roadmap
This webinar segment is about one of the most important parts of a pre-market trading process, identifying the level that matters most for the day.
The speaker shows how to scan across the Magnificent Seven, ES, SPY, QQQ, NQ, SPX, NDX, VIX, and inverse products to find whether the market is approaching a shared options level. Once that level appears across multiple assets, it becomes a major decision point.
The goal is not to predict the market. The goal is to identify the key level, build Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C around it, and then wait for price to confirm.
Step One: Identify The “Do Or Die” Level
(0:03 to 0:54)
The speaker begins by reviewing what traders learned during the week.
As the webinar points out, earlier in that week, the key level was the high wall plus high wall zero-DTE. It appeared clearly across indices, ES, NQ, and VIX. When multiple instruments line up around the same structural level, that level becomes important.
This is the first lesson:
When the same type of level appears across multiple markets, pay attention. It can become a “do or die” zone for the session.
Step Two: Scan The Magnificent Seven
(0:55 to 2:43)
The speaker then opens the Magnificent Seven on a 65-minute or hourly view and asks:
What is important today? The answer is visible across the charts:
Several major names are approaching or trading near one-day min.
The examples include:
Nvidia near one-day min
Broadcom near one-day min
Meta near one-day min
Google near put support zero-DTE plus one-day min
Microsoft already below one-day min
This matters because the Magnificent Seven heavily influence index direction. If many of these names are approaching one-day min together, the market is near an important downside support test.
Actionable Takeaway
Before trading ES, NQ, SPY, or QQQ, check the major components. If several mega-cap names are approaching one-day min at the same time, that level becomes a broader market signal.
Step Three: Understand Why One-Day Min Matters
(2:43 to 4:16)
The speaker asks Fabio to pull up the backtest data. The historical data shows that over four years:
SPX closed above one-day min about 87% of the time.
SPX closed below one-day max about 85% of the time.
The key idea is not that the level always holds. It does not. The key idea is that one-day min and one-day max are statistically important reference points. They help traders define where price is stretched and where reaction risk may appear.
Actionable Takeaway
Use one-day min as a decision level, not a blind buy signal. When price reaches it, ask:
Does price hold and reverse?
Does price break with confirmation?
Are other instruments confirming the break?
Step Four: Look For Market-Wide Alignment
(4:16 to 6:29)
The speaker then scans across the broader market.
The same theme appears:
ES near one-day min
SPY near one-day min
QQQ near one-day min
NDX near one-day min
NQ near one-day min
VIX near upside one-day max
SQQQ near inverted one-day max
This is the key point of the webinar. The one-day min is not isolated. It is showing up across the board. That makes it the central level for the trading plan.
Actionable Takeaway
Do not build a trade from one chart only. If ES is at one-day min, check:
SPX
NQ
NDX
SPY
QQQ
VIX
Major components
The more alignment you see, the more important the level becomes.
Step Five: Review Yesterday’s Call Resistance Lesson
(6:29 to 7:17)
The speaker connects this session to the previous day. Yesterday, call resistance was the key level. The instruction was simple:
If you wanted to be long, price needed to break call resistance.
If it could not break call resistance, downside momentum remained in play.
That same process applies today, but the focus has shifted from call resistance to one-day min.
Actionable Takeaway
Each day has a dominant level. Yesterday it may have been call resistance. Today it may be one-day min.
Your job is to identify what level is in play now, not force yesterday’s setup onto today’s market.
Step Six: Build The ES Trading Plan
(7:17 to 9:12)
The speaker then moves to ES and turns the observation into a trade plan.
The key level is one-day min. From there, two possible scenarios are built.
Long Scenario
If price flushes into put support and reacts, a trader can consider a long back toward one-day min and possibly high wall zero-DTE.
This is a reaction trade. The idea is that price may stretch below the level, find support, and rotate back.
Short Scenario
If the downtrend remains strong, one-day min can become the “big brother” level. Price may retest one-day min from below and fail.
In that case, the trader can use one-day min as a reference for risk and target put support below.
Actionable Takeaway
One-day min can be used two ways:
As a support reaction level for longs.
As a retest failure level for shorts.
The trade depends on how price behaves around it.
Step Seven: Avoid The Middle Of The Range
(9:12 to 10:12)
The speaker defines the upside area as high wall plus high wall zero-DTE.
This creates a range:
Lower boundary: one-day min / put support area
Upper boundary: high wall / high wall zero-DTE
The warning is clear:
Do not trade the middle.
Even if the range is wide, the best trades come from the edges.
Actionable Takeaway
Build three plans:
Plan A: Short setup if one-day min fails and retests.
Plan B: Long setup if price holds support and rotates higher.
Plan C: No trade if price stays in the middle.
On a Friday, capital preservation matters even more.
Step Eight: Start Small And Add Only If Right
(10:12 to 11:23)
The speaker uses a strong analogy:
Before swimming in the ocean, you check the water. You do not jump in blindly. Trading works the same way.
Start with a small position. See if the market confirms your idea. If the trade starts working and continuation appears, then you can add to the winner.
Remember all the best traders are first of all great Risk Managers. If you risk manage well, money will follow.
Actionable Takeaway
Do not enter full size immediately. Use a starter position.
Add only if:
The level holds
Price confirms direction
Momentum continues
Risk remains controlled
This is especially important near major gamma levels where reactions can be sharp.
Step Nine: Validate One-Day Min Across Markets
(11:56 to 15:07)
The speaker introduces an important rule. A one-day min break is stronger when it breaks across related markets, not just one contract.
For NQ, check:
ES
SPX
QQQ
For ES, check:
NQ
SPX
QQQ
The reason is simple. Sometimes one product briefly breaks one-day min while others hold. That can create a false break or a move into the next nearby support level.
Actionable Takeaway
Do not call one-day min broken just because one chart breaks it. A stronger break requires confirmation across the related index complex.
If only one market breaks, watch for the next major level such as put support or put support zero-DTE.
Step Ten: Develop The NQ Game Plan
(15:07 to 17:31)
On NQ, the speaker notes open space near one-day min and references a prior setup around Nvidia earnings.
The important comparison is between:
One-day max plus GEX 5 in the prior example
One-day min plus GEX 5 in the current example
The idea is that GEX levels can act as re-entry or decision areas around one-day min or one-day max.
Actionable Takeaway
When one-day min aligns with GEX levels: Watch for reaction.
Use GEX 5 or nearby gamma levels as potential re-entry zones. Look left to see whether price rejected or held that area before.
Step Eleven: Apply The Same Process To Stocks
(17:31 to 20:50)
The speaker then applies the same framework to Apple. The process is the same:
Identify the big range.
Upper area: one-day max, call resistance, gamma wall.
Lower area: one-day min, high wall zero-DTE.
Then identify which gamma levels are active inside the range.
In the Apple example, GEX 2 and GEX 1 become the levels in play.
Actionable Takeaway
This framework is not only for ES or NQ.
You can use it on:
Stocks
Indices
Futures
Metals
Crude
Bonds
The process is always:
Find the major range.
Identify the active gamma levels.
Build Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C.
Let your own strategy confirm execution.
Step Twelve: Combine MenthorQ Levels With Your Edge
(20:50 to 21:53)
The final point is important. MenthorQ levels do not replace your trading strategy. They provide structure and confirmation.
Your personal edge may come from:
Order flow
Moving averages
RSI
Price action
Options data
Volume
Breakout patterns
The gamma levels help you understand where your edge is most likely to matter.
Actionable Takeaway
Use MenthorQ as the market map. Use your strategy as the trigger.
Do not trade levels blindly. Trade your setup when it appears at the right level.
One-Day Min Playbook
Scenario One: One-Day Min Holds
Price reaches one-day min.
Other markets also hold their one-day min.
Put support is nearby.
Price shows a reaction.
Plan
Look for a long setup back toward high wall or the next upside gamma level.
Invalidation
Price breaks one-day min across ES, NQ, SPX, and QQQ.
Scenario Two: One-Day Min Breaks
Price breaks one-day min.
Related markets confirm the break.
Retest fails.
Plan
Look for short continuation toward put support or put support zero-DTE.
Invalidation
Price reclaims one-day min and holds above it.
Scenario Three: Price Trades In The Middle
Price stays between one-day min and high wall.
No clear reaction.
No clean confirmation.
Plan
Do nothing.
Wait for price to reach an edge.
Invalidation
There is no invalidation because there is no trade.
Conclusion
This webinar segment shows how professional traders turn gamma levels into a daily trading plan. The process starts with one question: What level matters today?
In this session, the answer was one-day min. Once that level was identified across major stocks, indices, ETFs, futures, and volatility products, the plan became clear. If one-day min holds, look for reaction. If it breaks across markets, look for continuation.If price stays in the middle, preserve capital.
That is the value of a structured gamma workflow. It does not tell you to guess direction. It tells you where the important decision is likely to happen.
