You know when to enter. But do you know when to exit? Most traders give back half their gains because they can't read when the move is actually done. Tony Rago's Matrix Key solves this—showing you the exact framework he uses to hold winners longer and cut losers faster. 👉 JOIN TONY & GARRETT LIVE TOMORROW 1PM ET → Don here... Tony got stopped out this afternoon. Minus three handles on the ES futures. Then he went right back in at a different level using the exact same setup. The second trade worked. He booked his target at 33. The difference wasn't luck. It was understanding that a setup can be valid while entry timing proves wrong. In today's free session replay, you'll discover: - Why probability doesn't disappear just because one entry failed. Tony bought 23 targeting 33. The position went against him immediately. He cut it for minus three rather than holding through pain. Then he repositioned at 26 because the mathematical structure remained unchanged. The 33 level was still unfinished business regardless of his first entry.
- The advance decline threshold that reveals institutional selling pressure. Negative 300 on the advance decline line signals heavy bearish momentum into the close. But when price reclaims that level, the selling pressure is officially off the table. Tony used this to confirm his long thesis had support underneath even while everyone else was panicking.
- What contract roll periods do to futures market behavior. December contracts are rolling into March this week. Volume leaves one instrument and repositions into another. That creates wild price swings that look chaotic but actually follow predictable patterns. Tony's been trading through roll periods for over a decade. The volatility is mechanical, not emotional.
- Why professional traders never complain about algorithms. Someone asked Tony if algorithms were making the NASDAQ impossible to trade. His answer was perfect. You don't make money complaining about it. You make money rolling up your sleeves and figuring out how to exploit it. The old pit traders faced this exact decision when electronic trading replaced face-to-face execution. Some retired. Others evolved.
- The psychological requirement nobody mentions about futures trading. You have to be okay with trades going against you. Tony took heat on multiple positions this afternoon. The difference between him and struggling traders is he stayed calm and managed risk instead of panicking. If volatility stress breaks your discipline, you have no business trading futures.
Tony's risk management turned both trades risk-free within minutes of entry. He moved stops to breakeven after capturing five points. That shifted the worst possible outcome from losing money to simply missing additional profit. That's not theory. That's actual position management that removes downside while keeping upside intact. The ES and NQ were completely out of sync this afternoon. The NASDAQ launched while the ES lagged behind. That divergence created false signals. Tony recognized it and backed away from forcing trades that didn't exist. The session demonstrated true risk acceptance. The futures market is thin. It trades in small size. When you see big wicks probing both directions, that's the algorithm searching for where actual buyers and sellers sit. Understanding this changes how you think about stop placement completely. → Watch Tony explain how professional traders think about failed setups and why going again with better timing beats walking away frustrated To your success, Don Kaufman Chief Market Strategist, TheoTRADE Helping You Become a Better Trader...it’s What We Do.
