TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Good ES trade plan.

Entry was difficult… but the mapping on the money.

We were looking for shorts in the right place and longs in the right place.

Battle Plan 2️⃣ | ES Long Setup

Although entry was difficult with the large candles last night, we looked for the right trade and the right trade location.

That’s half the battle when trading. Where should I go long and where should I go short!

That’s the entire purpose of the Battle Plan: to keep us on the right side of price action.

🔥 A sixty to eighty pointer — had you gotten an entry and held a lotto runner.

Because of the monster candles and the news coming out of Iran at a feverish pace, I stood down.

Price hit the target overnight.

Oh well… There’s another high probability trade around the corner.

Battle Plan 1️⃣ | ES Short Setup

As I said on Zoom this morning, I didn’t think this was a fresh trade because we should have been long from last night’s ladder up. 

That siad… this is the area we looked for a ladder back short for those interested in shorts – I was not.

🔥 Had a quick fifteen pointer if you took it… As discussed on Zoom.

Live ES Trading via Zoom

While live on Zoom, we mapped out this long trade setup for ES traders.

In fact, it was the only trade we officially mapped out. 

I outlined two targets. A fifteen-pointer and a fifty-pointer.

Only Target One hit.

🔥 Our system produced another fifteen-point trade.

You should always hold a runner “just in case”… but today there was no “just in case”.

When Are the Strong Levels Updated?

I update the Strong Levels Indicator every Sunday.

On Sunday, my goal is to publish the Battle Plan, the Strong Levels Indicator, and the Battle Plan Indicator at the same time.

The version number of the Strong Levels Indicator is always the date of the most recent Sunday.

For example: Today is Monday, June the eighth, so the Strong Levels Indicator will say “MicrosTrader Strong Levels 6.7.” Yesterday was June the seventh — that date appears in the title of the indicator.

Great Quote for Futures Traders

 Never bet against a man who refuses to give up.

Tip of the Day

Our Core Strategy warns… When there are three or more fifteen-point candles early into the RTH session, the day is rarely worth trading. Price action is extremely dangerous.

I present Exhibit A… Monday, June the eighth, 2026.

Scoreboard

Points Accumulated This Week:

Battle Plan: 10+

🔥 Battle Plan 2️⃣ went ten points on the first reclaim. 

If you were aggressive on the second reclaim, you could have had a 50 to 80 pointer. By this time I decided to stand down. 


Zoom: 30

See the video above for the ES trade setups discussed. 

And then in the power hour, I called this trade inside Discord.

“Watch for the loss and reclaim of this Strong Range”

We got exactly that for a pretty quick 10+ point run. 

Of course, it’s power hour with heightened trading risk. No one needs to trade power hour.

Core Strategy: 0

There were some absolutely beautiful front sides today, but with the 15-point candles, I have to say this was a no-trade day. So zero points are awarded.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What does the Core Strategy say about trading when there are multiple large candles early in the session?

A: The Core Strategy warns that when there are three or more fifteen-point candles early in the RTH session, the day is rarely worth trading. Price action becomes extremely dangerous. The right call is to Stand Down and protect your capital. No trade is always a trade.

What is the Battle Plan, and why does it matter before you trade?

A: The Battle Plan maps out the right trade locations before the session starts. It tells you where to look for longs and where to look for shorts. That is half the battle… knowing your location before price gets there. Without a Battle Plan, you are guessing. With one, you are prepared.

What is a Bull Bear Strong Level, and how is it used in the trade plan?

A: A Bull Bear Strong Level is a key price area on the chart where bulls and bears are actively competing for control. In today’s Battle Plan, the Bull Bear Strong Level at 7,300 was the preferred trade location for a long entry… and a potential spot for an option play. These levels are mapped every Sunday in the Strong Levels Indicator.

When is the Strong Levels Indicator updated, and how do you know which version you have?

A: The Strong Levels Indicator updates every Sunday. The version number is always the date of that Sunday. For example, if today is Monday, June the eighth, the indicator will show “MicrosTrader Strong Levels 6.7” because the most recent Sunday was June the seventh. If your version number does not match, you are trading with outdated levels.

What does it mean to hold a lotto runner?

A: A lotto runner is a small portion of your position that you hold beyond your first target… just in case price keeps moving in your favor. It costs you nothing extra once your first target is hit. Today’s Battle Plan long setup offered a sixty to eighty pointer for traders who got an entry and held a runner. You never know how far a trade will go… but you have to be in it to win it.

MICROS TRADER BASICS

The Battle Plan

The Battle Plan is Micros Trader’s daily strategic roadmap for ES and MES futures trading. George builds it 15 to 20 hours before the market opens… mapping specific long and short entry zones, directional bias, and key price levels with entry ladders at three risk levels: Apex, First Ladder, and Second Ladder.

Members receive it each evening by 5:00 PM EST. Monday’s Battle Plan is publicly available at no cost. By the time the market opens, every decision is already made.
