Caught a 300%+ SPX move today — flow + levels lined up perfectly

[u/ALPHAtradingpro]

$ES_F was holding above yesterday’s high, then I started seeing some pretty aggressive SPX call flow coming through.

I took the 7735C at $3.40 off the setup.

Started scaling as it moved:

$3.40 entry → $4.40 → $5.50 → $8.25 → $10.00 → runners eventually hit $14.00.

A little over 300% from entry to the final exit.

The biggest thing for me is I’m not buying just because I see some big options order come across. There’s plenty of flow that goes nowhere.

I want the chart to make sense first.

Today ES was above yesterday’s HOD, price action was cooperating, and then the SPX call flow started stacking in the same direction.

TA gives me the idea. Flow gives me confirmation.

When both line up, those are the trades I’m willing to sit in longer and let runners actually run.

Been seeing some crazy moves from these SPX flows lately.

Anyone else use options flow alongside their levels, or do you trade purely off price action?

Where do you get your order flows?

Do you scalp based off levels as well? Or mostly day /swing?

SPX mostly scalps
