MES MICROS TRADE PLAN #280
TUE/WED RTH
🗓️ Posted: Tuesday April 7, 2026
OVERVIEW
2 Longs & 1 Short
Three Battle Plans paid again!
Two Longs.
One Short.
Trading can be so profitable when ES is range bound.
How?
Great question!
You simply trade the edges… In other words… the Battle Plan!
Then you hold a single runner in case price breaks out going your direction.
There is nothing else to do but that.
Today was… Déjà vu from yesterday – three great trades.
I took the first short for 20 points and one of the longs for 10 points. 30 points. Then a great long a little later in the session – discussed below.
One could have taken Battle Plan Battle Plan 1️⃣ and Battle Plan 3️⃣ twice as discussed on Zoom/YouTube.
Looking for the right trades and the right trade locations… If you can do that consistently enough, the odds of success greatly tilt in your favor.
Well done!
On Zoom/YouTube, I said if we make a new low (around the 1 Hour:25 Minute mark)… it could present another entry long for Battle Plan 3️⃣.
I took the move down, took out the low, and I took a long at the Bull Bear Strong Level.
6576 Long.
See the chart below.
🎩 Hat Trick
Back-to-back days for a Hat Trick for me personally!
That is tree separate entries that you CAPTURE ten points or more!
▶️ Be sure to celebrate your successes in the leaderboard also!

🌙 OVERNIGHT
🔥 Battle Plan 1️⃣ for a 20-30 point run.
🔥 Battle Plan 2️⃣ Long for near 50 points
🔥 Battle Plan 1️⃣ offered a second entry when it made a new high, digging deeper into the drop zone offering a 40-70 point runner.
☀️ RTH
🔥Live on Zoom and YouTube. We traded Battle Plan 3️⃣.
And then a couple of hours later, Price dug deeper into Battle Plan 3️⃣, giving yet another entry if you so desired. As outlined, I took this trade too.
As warned, it was a dangerous day to trade with the Iran deadline and 20-point candles coming out of nowhere. You do you!
Edit
✏️ 12:18 PM CDT… STILL WATCHING PRICE ACTION & EDITING

TRADE OF THE DAY
BATTLE PLAN
🔥 Battle Plan 1️⃣ reached target and beyond! 20-30 points.
🔥 Battle Plan 2️⃣ reached target and beyond! 30-40 points.
🔥 Then Battle Plan 1️⃣ activated again for a 50+ point run.
And then Battle Plan 3️⃣ activated twice for a ten-point and a thirty-plus-point run.
150 points total if you could have gotten entry on all three and took profit at the completed mapping.
I am going to award 50% of those points for the Scoreboard below. When in doubt, I like to use 50% of the move as a baseline.
ZOOM
🔥Battle Plan 1️⃣ for a 10-30 pointer depending on management.
