TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Battle Plan 7️⃣ | ES Long Setup

Honestly, with the news out of Iran, I expected a dump — but ES dropped right into Battle Plan 7️⃣ and rebounded with strength above the outlined long level.

Yes… I expected a dump on the Iranian news. But that’s why you trade what is happening, not what you want to happen.

Holding a runner can pay.

ES Emini Price Action Analysis and Trade Ideas

BATTLE PLAN 2️⃣ ES Long Setup

In the Battle Plan last night, I wrote “70-point away. The loss and reclaim of this Strong Range, aka the top of the range, aka the Bull Bear Strong Level Strong Level, is a good long.”

That is exactly what happened. We lost the Strong Range and reclaimed it with a vengeance. 

A beautiful, beautiful reaction. 

Today is a great illustration of why “trade location” dominates our system of trading. Just note the… Battle Plan 1️⃣ short yesterday, the Battle Plan 7️⃣ long last night, the short on Zoom today, and then the long from Battle Plan 2️⃣ today. There were all entries based on “trade location” and understanding ES price action! 

The past two days has been a beautiful display of everything we do here at Micros Trader.  

Right Locations Right Trades ES Emini Futures

Two possible long entries per the price map for Battle Plan 2️⃣… plus a possible location to add to your winning trade. This add location sits only 17 points from your initial entry. I typically want at least 20 points before adding to a winner. 

Adding to a Winning Trade: As noted in the video above, I would have added to my winning short at Battle Plan 3️⃣ and still preserved a 50-pointer.  it’s not often you can double your leverage without increasing your risk. If you haven’t watched the video, watch it.

ES Futures Battle Plan Mapped Trade Ideas

Learn to Walk

I can teach traders to draw lines that will bounce price within a matter of a few weeks, but teaching traders how to walk is not as easy. 

When your first trade gives you ten plus points, walk. 

When you feel the accumulation of emotions rising, walk.

Most traders can’t say “No” to the chart… That’s why most traders won’t be traders long. 

Learning to be content… Learning to protect yourself from yourself… These are key skills!

And trading together certainly helps!   

Tip of the Day

The Easiest Way to Trade?

1. Trade what is happening… not what you want to happen.

2. Wait for the right setup. When it comes, take it… then hold a Lotto Runner. Let the runner fo the heavy lifting. 

Scoreboard

Points Accumulated This Week:

Battle Plan: 100+

Battle Plan 7️⃣ long for 10+ points. 

Battle Plan 2️⃣ for 20+ points. 

Zoom: 45+

Perfect 3-Contract System holding a runner with exit at Battle Plan 2️⃣ long location. 25-40 points. 

We didn’t trade it live on Zoom… but we said: if ES drops to Battle Plan 2️⃣ and you’re not short, take the long. I can’t give myself points for this. But the value of Zoom isn’t always measured in points earned during Zoom. Sometimes it’s points saved during Zoom. Sometimes it’s what is mapped out and happens after Zoom.

Core Strategy: 80+

There were multiple Core Strategy trades. I see a 3M BS Short (I would not have traded it – Full Members, can you find it and why would I have NOT taken that trade even though it bounced perfectly?)… and a FS Long for 20+ run.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What is the Bull Bear Strong Level and why does it matter?

A: The Bull Bear Strong Level is the key price zone that separates bullish control from bearish control on the ES chart. When bulls defend it, price bounces. When bears crack it, the move lower accelerates. It is the most important level in the Battle Plan… every trade idea is built around it.

What does it mean to “trade what is happening… not what you want to happen”?

A: It means you set aside your bias and let price tell you what to do. In today’s session, a news event out of Iran made a dump feel certain. But ES dropped into the Battle Plan long level and bounced hard. Traders who stayed disciplined and followed the plan caught the move. Traders who traded their opinion missed it.

What is the 3-Contract System and how do you use it to lock in profits?

A: The 3-Contract System means you enter with three contracts and peel them off at each target. First contract out at target one. Second at target two. Third you hold as a runner. This lets you lock real profit early… and still have a position if price runs to target three or four. Today’s Zoom short is a textbook example — traders who followed it walked away with 25 to 40 points.

What does “Stand Down” mean in the Battle Plan?

A: Stand Down means do not trade. When ES starts printing a string of fifteen-plus point candles in one direction… that is not a setup. That is a liquidation move. The temptation to call a bottom and knife catch can be overwhelming. Stand Down is a reminder that protecting your account is a trade. No hero trades needed.

What is the Speculator’s Special and who should take it?

A: The Speculator’s Special is a high-risk, counter-trend trade idea included in the Battle Plan for experienced traders who understand the risk. It is not a Core Strategy trade. The name says it all… it is speculative. If you take it, use a defined stop and manage it like a professional. It is never financial advice — it is a trade location worth watching.
