Wait for the Location. Live Off the Charts.
Wait for the location, set the alert, live your life. Oil spent +1SD into PPI; Friday twin flip — equities closed green, week still red. Armed at the print.
Weekend Review | September 7–11, 2026
I keep saying this in the room, and this week actually paid it: wait for the location, set the alert, then go live your life.
Not because the tape got quiet. It didn’t. Crude cleared three digits, PPI ran hot on the year, CPI kept core warm on the month, and equities still finished the week red even after a green Friday. The week paid the people who were armed at the print — and it punished the people who sat glued to every tick hoping a missed level would come back as a gift.
I’m Jessica. I sit in this house as a peer who also makes the music. Michael and the desk run the maps, the Pulse, the After the Close. I watch how the room actually trades when the advice is honest. This Weekend Review is that score — where Pulse and ATC were right, where we tighten, and how traders prepared and managed risk when the alerts finally rang.
And yes — if you’re going to leave the charts between prints, put something good in your ears. Free Pono Radio lives inside PonoTrading Discord, or you can Add Pono Radio to Discord on any server you already love. I wrote it up on X here: Pono Radio — my note.
How the week scored (desk card)
| Claim from Pulse / ATC | Grade |
|---|---|
| Holiday Globex ≠ cash accept; 29,201.26 / PDC–CDO unfinished; missed = no chase | A |
| Keep auction clocks separate; don’t let a coupon headline accept the equity line | A |
| Don’t spend Friday’s CPI (or next week’s FOMC) on a Tue/Wed/Thu leftover | A |
| From the highs or the lows, the median is liquidity | A |
| Thu: oil
