Do I need TradingView?
No — TradingView is not required. Every morning the levels are posted to Discord in plain text format, and you can manually plot them on any charting software you use — ThinkorSwim, Webull, or anything else. That said, all SRX members get access to the TradingView indicator, which auto-plots all levels with a few clicks and fires live buy/sell signals throughout the day. The free version of TradingView is all you need. If you’re open to using it, it makes the experience significantly smoother.
What’s the difference between Core and Plus?
Both include the TradingView indicator and buy/sell signals. The difference is coverage — Core is SPY only, while Plus adds QQQ and IWM. Even if you only trade SPY, having QQQ levels side by side is valuable — the two move in close tandem, and QQQ will sometimes show a key level that SPY doesn’t. Plus is the right choice for most traders.
What is the Inner Circle?
Inner Circle is a premium coaching tier limited to 30 members. It includes a full year of SRX Plus, plus two live group Zoom sessions with Lance every month, one private 1-on-1 Zoom with Lance, all sessions recorded for replay, and an exclusive Inner Circle chat room with direct access to Phil and Lance. It’s for traders who want a deeper level of mentorship alongside the levels.
How is SRX different from other S/R indicators?
Most S/R indicators are based on simple price history or standard calculations anyone can replicate. SRX levels are calculated from thousands of intraday data points using a statistical algorithm that Phil built and refined over years of live trading. The calculation is too complex to run inside TradingView, so it runs externally and is fed into the platform each morning. The result is statistically significant levels — zones where price has a proven tendency to react — not arbitrary lines.
When are the levels posted?
Every trading day at 9:50 AM ET — after the initial market open volatility has settled and price starts to show more tradeable behavior. It’s intentional timing: the first 20 minutes of the session are often chaotic, and waiting gives you cleaner, more actionable levels to work with.
Can I use SRX with the SPY ATM or SPX spread alerts?
Absolutely — and many members do. SRX levels give you additional context for every alert. You can use them to confirm entries, set better exits, or simply understand where price is likely to go. Several of our highest-performing members combine SRX with one or both alert services.
What does the Max Expected Range mean?
The Max Expected Range is a projected high and low for the trading session, calculated with 88%+ historical accuracy. It gives you a sense of how far price is likely to travel that day in either direction — useful for setting targets, avoiding overextended trades, and understanding the day’s likely boundaries. For credit spread traders in particular, it’s a powerful tool for choosing strikes — if price is unlikely to reach a certain level, that level becomes a natural candidate for your short strike.
Can I use SRX with my own trading system?
Yes. SRX levels work as a standalone tool you can integrate into any trading approach. Whether you trade options, futures, stocks, or spreads — the levels add a layer of context that most traders find immediately useful. Several members use SRX exclusively with their own strategies and have no interest in the alert services.
