TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Live Trading Room for ES Emini

See the video replay above for our trades.

A combination of Battle Plan and live price action set-ups.

🔥 1 Long for 10 points: Apex for Battle Plan 2️⃣. Last night I wrote, “or I would trade the apex of Battle Plan 2️⃣ with a small stop.” That paid! Ran 17 points, I recommended making sure you take 10 points on the ES/MES scalp.

🔥 1 Long for a scratch.

🔥 1 Short for 30 points. I netted 20 personally.

ES Futures Battle Plan Mapped Trade Ideas

BATTLE PLAN 3️⃣ (MES long)

Our outlined short made it to our target… at Battle Plan 3️⃣.

But… it offered no easy entry. Not one that followed through well.

I took a couple of entries down here, one for a scratch and one that was up ten points at one moment. Nothing to write home to mom about.

Not every Battle Plan is going to be the picture-perfect move with a gimme set-up that runs 20 points with no heat or double tap.

To be in the Battle Plan 3️⃣ long was not an easy layup. You had Shaq and Dennis Rodman guarding you as you were trying to slam dunk as a 5’10” man who hasn’t played basketball in 20 years. Good luck with that.

That was today.

So… sometimes… you just miss out.

Sometimes… it is not your move on your terms.

Sometimes you get an entry, price runs 5-10 points… and BAM… you take scratch on an ugly wick down move… and… what do you know… it runs 45+ points without you. (Ask me how I know… that’s what happened to me today.)

Then… quietly (or loudly) remind yourself.

There’s another high-probability trade around the corner.

At least the trade idea was mapped out in the trade location, and that’s really the key.

🔥 THE GOAL: To keep looking for the right trades in the right trade locations… and the odds shift dramatically in our favor. That’s the entire purpose of the Battle Plan. To keep us on the right side of price action.

Grandpa Roger says… “Sometimes it’s like trying to catch a greasy pig… it just slips out of your hands.” I remarked Battle Plan 3️⃣ reminded me of Rocky Chasing Chickens. Rocky would say, “Don’t be a Kentucky Fried Idiot.”

ES Futures Strong Levels and Battle Plan Zones

BATTLE PLAN 2️⃣ (MES Long)

After Battle Plan 3️⃣ broke loose, it ripped right through Battle Plan 2️⃣.

I had an order ready to go long on the first mapped-out entry for Battle Plan 2️⃣… but it never pulled back far enough to get me in.

So I took the long on the second mapped-out entry at the Bull Bear Strong Level at 7403. I actually entered at 7404.

The MES micro futures contract made a nice move, so I moved my stop to break even and closed the platform… letting the trade play out on its own.

I wrote in Discord, “L Strong Level… tight… Taking mapped out trades only here. Stop at BE now. DOM closed… Back to writing Battle Plan write up.”

ES Emini Price Action Analysis and Trade Ideas

Accumulation of Emotions 🌡️

Today is a good day to talk about the accumulation of emotions.

I’m very frank and share very openly with my group.

I had a very good day, netting 20 points in total in this morning’s live stream.

That said, I was frustrated today.

Too many entries that ran 10 points or more. Yet the nature of the price action today was constantly retesting levels and very difficult to stay in a trade.

One of the entries was a beautiful short at 99 in the power hour, with the target of coming back to POC.

That was a beautiful trade, but I was a bit too aggressive in my trade management and didn’t make anything.

You must constantly monitor the accumulation of negative emotions.

Be vigilant in the diagnosis of being a sick trader that’s running a high fever.

I didn’t have to yank myself off the trading floor but I could feel the accumulation of emotion.

We are all human… You will not become the Spock of trading with zero emotion.

And this is one of those weird times where together we trade better.

One of my traders remarked…
