A: A Strong Level is a price zone on the ES chart that has proven itself over and over… a spot where price reacted hard before and will likely react hard again. In this Battle Plan, the Strong Level pulls double duty. It serves as the launching pad for a long at the bottom of the range and the trigger for a Battle Plan short. Watch it closely. Wait for your own confirmation before you act.
What is the Core Strategy?
A: The Core Strategy is the disciplined, rules-based approach at the heart of Micros Trader. It targets high probability setups at mapped levels and skips everything else. On CPI day the Core Strategy took zero trades… no trading into a major news event. Sometimes the best trade is no trade at all. Green Over Greed.
A: The Bull Bear Line marks the level that separates bullish control from bearish control on the ES chart. Above it, bulls hold the edge. Below it, bears take over. In this Battle Plan, a deep pullback all the way down to the Bull Bear Line stands as the favored destination for the wide sweeping long setup.
What is a lotto runner?
A: A lotto runner is a small piece of a winning trade you leave on after banking most of your profit. The trade already paid you… so the risk on the runner stays tiny. That little piece stays alive for the big move. In this Battle Plan, a lotto runner short could be added to at lower levels if the market keeps dropping.
What does it mean to ladder back long at the bottom of the range?
A: Laddering back long means scaling into a long position in pieces as price returns into the range… a starter entry first, then adds at better prices. Range Rules Rule. When ES holds the bottom of its range, buying back in steps builds the position while keeping risk controlled. One caution from this Battle Plan… if price vomits down like a rocket, be very careful with any long.

Trading involves the risk of loss as well as the potential of profit. It is generally advised by successful traders to never risk more money than you can afford and are willing to lose - both on a trade-by-trade basis, and a portfolio basis.
You should seek independent financial advice from a qualified professional in deciding if trading is appropriate for you. Please also consider the appropriateness of that professional advice in light of your own objectives, financial situation or needs.

You should carefully consider your objectives, financial situation, needs, psychological and emotional fortitude, and any other relevant personal circumstances when determining whether or not trading is suitable for you. Trading is not for everyone, and for some there are much easier ways to make money from a side-hustle or career more suited to their personality and situation.
Trading is exceptionally difficult to succeed at, with a remarkably high failure rate. So please do your own due diligence to protect yourself and your capital from unnecessary losses and damage. Seek advice from a qualified professional (such as a financial advisor) if you feel uncertain about your decision to begin trading.
THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING SECURITIES IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT INVESTED. HOWEVER, THE RISK OF LOSS IN TRADING DERIVATIVES (SUCH AS FUTURES, CFDS, FOREX ETC) MAY NOT BE LIMITED. THIS MEANS YOU MAY LOSE MORE THAN YOUR ACCOUNT BALANCE OR THE AMOUNT REQUIRED TO HOLD AND CONTROL THE PARTICULAR DERIVATIVE, ESPECIALLY WHEN EMPLOYING LEVERAGE.
THE HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE THAT IS OFTEN OBTAINED IN FUTURES, OPTIONS, FOREX AND CONTRACTS FOR DIFFERENCE CAN WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. IN OTHER WORDS, THE USE OF LEVERAGE IS A TOOL THAT CAN LEAD TO LARGE LOSSES AS WELL AS LARGE GAINS. WHEN USED PROPERLY THIS CAN BE AN ADVANTAGE, BUT WHEN USED IMPROPERLY AND CARELESSLY IT CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC LOSSES - OFTEN RAPIDLY.
This brief statement cannot disclose all the risks and other significant aspects of securities and derivatives markets. It also does not cover the many risks inherent in cryptocurrency trading - such as lack of regulation, potential liquidity issues, high volatility and various third-party risks. It is YOUR responsibility to research and decide whether or not to accept the risks involved in the particular market or asset you choose to trade or invest in.
IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO CONSULT YOUR FINANCIAL ADVISOR TO DETERMINE WHETHER TRADING IN SECURITIES, CRYPTOCURRENCIES OR DERIVITIVES PRODUCTS IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOU IN LIGHT OF YOUR OWN FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES.
Good luck with your wealth creation journey, and please take this information seriously. The graveyard of failed traders is large and ever-growing, and that is largely due to these warnings being ignored and the many dangers of trading not being respected.
