Preparing ES Emini and MES Micros Traders To Trade In Our S&P Trading Room

Welcome ES MES Futures Traders

Good Morning, Traders!

Happy Monday, November 18th! Today, we kick off the week with a “no-news Monday,” marking the start of what should be a normal trading week. However, keep an eye on NVIDIA’s earnings announcement on Wednesday—it could be the biggest market-moving event for the rest of the year.

Today’s Verse:

“I will praise God’s name in song and glorify Him with thanksgiving.”
Continuing with our theme of thankfulness this month, this verse reminds us to focus on gratitude as we approach the end of the year.

Trading Strategy

Santa Claus Rally?

Market trends point to a strong year-end, often referred to as the “Santa Claus Rally.” Regardless of predictions, stick to trading levels and core strategies, which have consistently proven effective.

ES Chart Overview:

Recent updates show:

  • Bears are in control after two days of strong selling. A short-covering rally could emerge, but timing remains uncertain.
  • Lower distribution levels and VWAP positioning suggest a cautious approach. Align trade sizes with prevailing trends for optimal results.

Group Focus:

Our group emphasizes watching all four indices move in unison to confirm strength in bulls or bears. This alignment enhances the confidence of trade setups and position sizing.
