TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Last Week:

Last week was an absolutely incredible week for our system.

There were multiple 100-pointers… if you held a lotto runner. Three within 2 days.

Hold That Runner

We tend to get one or two trades that move 100+ points.

Rarely does it happen on back-to-back days… but it did this week.

How far will price go?

I never know.

You never know.

Hold anyway!

You are already in a winning trade… stay in it with all your might.

The easiest points you’ll ever make are… holding a runner!

Looking for Trades in All the Right Locations

That is the entire purpose of the Battle Plan… looking for the right trades in the right trade locations. If we can keep doing that, the odds of our success dramatically increase.

Thank you for being a member.

We did good last week – let’s do it again!

Expected Range

Nearly 100-points. Seems about right!

I hope we explore the full 100 points down and the 100 points back up… or vice versa.

Tip of the Day

Be A Sniper:

One or two trades a day is plenty… under most conditions. 

Be a sniper!

Precious bullets for precious targets.

Trader’s Homework

“The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.” – John Wooden

When Tim saw the homework simulator, he remarked, “This hits so many things simultaneously: review, accountability, feedback, consensus/agreement on levels and their tradability.”

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What is the Battle Plan for ES and MES futures?

A: The Battle Plan is a pre-market trade map for ES and MES futures. It marks the exact price levels where the best long and short setups live… before the session ever opens. The entire purpose is looking for the right trades in the right trade locations. Keep doing that and the odds of your success dramatically increase.

What is a Strong Level in ES futures trading?

A: A Strong Level is a price where ES has proven that buyers or sellers will step in. This week’s plan maps Strong Levels like 7,516 and 7,491, plus Strong Ranges like 7,615.00 to 7,611.75. Hand draw them on your charting platform and let price come to you. Require confirmation at the level… like snappy ladder back price action… before you enter.

What is the Bull Bear Line?

A: The Bull Bear Line is the line in the sand that shows who controls the session. Bulls control above it. Bears control below it. In this plan, the Bull Bear Line is the key level at the current trade location, with a mapped long from the Bull Bear Line down to the 7471 area… which served as the Bull Bear Line two weeks ago.

What is a lotto runner and why hold it?

A: A lotto runner is the last small piece of a winning trade that you hold for an outsized move. Peel most of your contracts at your targets… then let one runner ride. Last week delivered three 100 point moves within 2 days. How far will price go? You never know. Hold anyway. The easiest points you’ll ever make come from holding a runner.

What is the Core Strategy?

A: The Core Strategy is the repeatable trading system taught to Full Members. It gives you one consistent way to enter, manage, and exit ES and MES trades at mapped levels… the same chart, the same trades, the same reasons. Last week the Core Strategy accumulated 105+ points, while the Battle Plan added 425+ and Zoom added 145+.
