TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Battle Plan 3️⃣ | ES Short Setup

Talk about a super clean entry with no heat. 

🔥 Had you kept a runner to the next Strong Level that was a 27-point trade. 

What do you do if you make 27 points the night before… the day before NFP?

Green > Greed comes to mind!

Be sure to watch the video to see how we traded on the day before non-farm payroll. 

Above the Bull Bear Strong Level line, we were looking for longs to target two levels and to not short. 

If we dropped back inside of the Bull Bear Strong Level level with a vengeance, we were looking to get short, hopefully arriving at Battle Plan 4️⃣ below. 

Once again, you have to trade what is happening, not what you want to happen. 

Tip of the Day

Trade what is happening, not what you want to happen. 

Scoreboard

Points Accumulated This Week:

Battle Plan: 127+

🔥 Battle Plan 3️⃣ short for 27 points at minimum. 

Battle Plan 1️⃣ Bounced only 5.5 points. I’m going to consider this a break-even trade. However, the trade did arrive at its target.  

Zoom: 85+

If you took the final long as outlined with the three contract system, the perfect take profit was at the end of the mapping for Battle Plan 1️⃣.

🔥 This was a nice 40+ point long.  

Core Strategy: 80+

🔥 One must appreciate the type of day this was, but there was a beautiful backside long that ran 20 points.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What is Non-Farm Payroll and why is it a Stand Down day?

A: Non-Farm Payroll is a major economic report released the first Friday of every month. It shows how many jobs the U.S. economy added or lost. Markets can move violently and unpredictably around the release… that’s why it’s a Stand Down day. Stand Down means you do not trade. It’s not a suggestion. The conditions are too erratic to give a clean setup a fair chance.

What is the Bull Bear Strong Level and how does it guide trade direction?

A: The Bull Bear Strong Level is the key line that separates bullish and bearish control. Above it… we’re in bull territory. You look for longs and you do not short. If price drops back below it with force… the bears have taken control and short setups become valid. Bulls control above. Shorts are counter… small if at all. Never make things worse.

What does Green Over Greed mean?

A: Green Over Greed means protecting your profits. If you’ve already captured a big move… say 27 points the day before a major news event… you don’t push for more. You take the win. Greed is what turns a great trade into a breakeven or a loss. Green Over Greed is how you stay profitable long term.

What is the range trade and how do you use it?

A: The range trade is based on a defined price range the market has been building. The top of the range is resistance… the bottom is support. If price drops into the top of the range… there’s a good likelihood it rotates all the way to the bottom. You trade that move. You know your entry, your target, and your risk before you ever pull the trigger.

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

A: It means you follow price. Not your bias. Not your hope. Not what you think should happen. If the setup isn’t there… you wait. If price does something unexpected… you adapt. Traders who fight the tape are the ones who take the big losses. Read what the market is actually doing and respond to that. That’s the discipline.
