TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

7-Day Trial Members

If you are on the 7-day trial or going to start your 7-day trial, you will notice there is a brand new dashboard for trial members.

Although you are not required to, I would encourage you to request access to the Strong Levels indicator and the Battle Plan indicator.

I couldn’t have made it any easier.

When you log in, you should now be taken directly to the new Trial Member Dashboard.

S&P Futures Traders Need Breaks, Too.

On Friday, the Tip of the Day encouraged you to take a true four-day weekend.

I, for one, did not even sit down at my computer Saturday nor Sunday.

I made a couple quick posts in Discord through my phone, which I only touched to post this weekend.

I tried to do a complete technology break because it’s refreshing. I even broke my 91-day WisprFlow streak!

My advice… When you need to take a break, take it!

Several times a year, the calendar offers us a beautiful three- or four-day weekend.

Every single time I encourage my traders to take the break, refresh, come back to the chart, renewed.

I hope you had a delightful break.

Sunday ES E-mini Opening: Strong Levels

The Sunday opening provided some excitement with a beautiful gap up and tapping into two of our Strong Levels.

The Strong Levels are the most important levels, I believe, for the week.

Not too shabby.

Friday’s MES Live Trading Session

Friday was indeed a scalper’s delight… I don’t think we had that much fun on Zoom in a long time.

It offered a dream for scalpers.

Be sure to watch the video above.

MES Micros Long

It shouldn’t come as a shock to those who have been members for a long time, but I am still long from Friday’s call-out.

It was a bit of a risky move considering the market was down on Friday afternoon with a long weekend ahead.

I had enough points from a beautiful week of trading that I decided to take the risk.

It’s my personal belief that the administration seeks a peace deal over an all-out war. Plus BULLS Control. And the all-time high was within easy grasp.

Tip of the Day

The Trading Day After a Holiday

For those interested in extending their four-day weekend to a five-day weekend… Very often, the day after a long holiday weekend proves to be a low-probability trading environment.

Regardless, we will be live tomorrow morning for the AM Briefing and live trading session.

THE BATTLE PLAN: BEST ES/MES SETUPS

Day After Holiday

Tuesday’s RTH session is the day after a long holiday weekend. Often low-probability trading conditions, as mentioned in the Tip of the Week.

We have a light news week with PCE on Thursday.

Very strong gap up and ladder up during the Asia and London session.

The half RTH session is to be determined.

We are nowhere near a high-probability trade location.

Trading at all-time highs rarely offers a beautiful opportunity.

Our best trading opportunities are presented when there’s blood on the chart.

Battle Plan Notes

  1. If the bulls are going to be incredibly strong, this should hold. This would be a small entry in my humble opinion.
  2. At the time of this writing, this would be a very nice 80-point pullback. This entry would not necessarily require taking the RTH low before a snappy ladder back price action over the Strong Level. Battle Plan 2️⃣ and Battle Plan 3️⃣ blend a little bit. Look for the reclaim and retest of the Strong Levels on a laddering back sequence.
  3. I like this trade idea a lot. This is a 95-point pullback up to a 100-point pullback with snappy FVG gapping ladder back price action reclaiming Strong Levels with a vengeance.
  4. Preferred Trade: This trade idea challenges the top of the established range we created last week and a reclaim of that range.

Educational Purposes Only: Not Financial Advice

I’m not a financial advisor (never played one on TV either). These trade ideas are educational training tools showing where price may react… nothing more. Always wait for your own confirmation before executing. These levels represent one trader’s analysis, not personalized trading advice.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

Why is the day after a holiday weekend considered a low-probability trading environment?

A: Volume is typically thin… participation is low… and the market can move in unpredictable ways without the usual institutional presence. George’s advice is to sit it out or trade very small… protect your capital and wait for a higher-probability setup later in the week.

What are Strong Levels, and why do they matter?

A: Strong Levels are the most important price levels George identifies for the week. They act as magnets for price… areas where the market is likely to react, reverse, or confirm direction. Watching how price behaves at a Strong Level tells you a lot about who is in control… bulls or bears.

What does “Bulls Control” mean in the Battle Plan?

A: Bulls Control is George’s directional bias… it means the trend favors the long side and pullbacks into key levels are opportunities to get long, not reasons to short. It does not mean you buy blindly. It means you wait for price to come to you at a strong location… and then look for confirmation before entering.

Why does George say trading at all-time highs “rarely offers a beautiful opportunity”?

A: At all-time highs there is no overhead supply… no prior resistance, no previous traders sitting underwater waiting to sell. That removes one of the clearest signals traders use to time entries. George prefers to trade when there is “blood on the chart”… a meaningful pullback into a Strong Level where the risk-to-reward is clean.

What is “laddering back” price action and why does George look for it?

A: Laddering back describes price that pulls back, reclaims a key level, and then steps higher in a steady, progressive sequence… each bar building on the last rather than gapping or spiking erratically. It signals strong, organized buying. When George sees a ladder back over a Strong Level after a pullback… it confirms the bulls are back in control and the trade idea is working.
