☕ SPY ZERO DTE February 5, 2026 EDGE News – VIP LEVELS 🐻 THURSDAY – BEAR COUNTY 🐻
⚖️ DISCLAIMER – READ FIRST
This is not investment advisory. I’m not calling trades. I’m teaching you to think. These levels are NOT buy/sell signals. Trading involves substantial risk of loss. If you can’t afford to lose, don’t trade. No guarantees. Full disclaimer at bottom.
📋 To Be Fair to All:
- Do not post your trades publicly — only share with Gary or Q confidentially.
- The levels are key levels, but price can always change — no one controls the market. No crystal ball. No guarantees.
- We will post the tape after the fact — to avoid any misunderstanding during live calls.
- IF you create a student zoom room and you are bringing in PAID members you are get permission. IKIGAI, Q or G and our associates and undertakings are not liable in any manner whatsoever directly or indirectly. Please review your agreement.
- We will not cherry pick. You will see the good, the bad, and the ugly.
- We’ll continue doing weekly calls to help you maintain clarity with structure.
🚨 WHAT ARE Q LEVELS? (READ THIS OR LOSE MONEY)
Q Levels are NOT support and resistance.
Q Levels are strikes where Market Makers who are EXPOSED will HEDGE. When price reaches these levels, MM activity creates reactions — but that does NOT mean you enter a trade.
Q Levels are 1 of 6 structure points. You need ALL 6 to make a trade decision:
| # | Structure Point | What It Tells You |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Q Levels (Exposure) | Where MMs are exposed and will hedge |
| 2 | Liquidity Zones | Where stops are sitting (LQ Green / LQ Red) |
| 3 | Market Structure | Higher Highs, Lower Lows |
| 4 | Volume | Is money flowing in or out? |
| 5 | Time | Opening range, power hour, lunch chop |
| 6 | POI Confluence | Do multiple points align? |
❌ Q Levels alone = You will lose money ✅ Q Levels + 5 other structure points = You have an edge
Follow the education.
🚨 THE 5-MINUTE RULE
WRONG: “Price hits 692, I wait 5 minutes, then I enter.”
RIGHT: “Price hits 692, I watch if it HOLDS above/below for 5+ minutes while checking structure. If it holds AND structure confirms, THEN I look for an entry.”
The 5 minutes is not a timer to enter. It’s a FILTER to see if the level is real.
| What You See | What It Means | What You Do |
|---|---|---|
| Price hits 692, immediately reverses | Level rejected, no hold | NO TRADE – wait |
| Price hits 692, chops around for 3 min, falls back | Failed to hold | NO TRADE – wait |
| Price breaks 692, holds above for 5+ min, structure confirms | Level accepted as support | NOW check your 6 points for entry |
The 5-minute hold is CONFIRMATION, not a green light.
