TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Monster Week

🔥 Two 100+ point runners this week.. That is why the Tip Of The Day every day this week was “hold that runner.”

I’m not sure there is a more profitable skill a trader can learn than to hold that runner. 

Each day, we were looking for the right shorts in the right trade locations and the right longs in the right trade locations. 

You can’t ask for a market to give you better price action than that. 

Monday

🔥 30-Point Short. Entry and Exit provided.

🔥 80-150 Point Long. 80 points if you held to close and 100+ points if you held overnight. 

Right Locations Right Trades ES Emini Futures

Tuesday

🔥 Small 20-point knife-catch short.

Wednesday

🔥Quick 30-point short

🔥Amazing long called on the turn-around. Many traders made deposits from this long.

🔥 Battle Plan 1️⃣ for a beautiful short to target

Thursday

🔥 100+ point short for those who held.

Expected Range

Another 100-point range, it looks like. 

I only pray we go a hundred points both directions. 

Get paid for holding runners again!

Isn’t it shocking how often we get to the Expected Range on a Monday or Tuesday?

Tip of the Day

Learning to hold your lotto runners per our system makes trading quite profitable IF you can HOLD. We have at least one trade a week that runs 100+ points. This week we had two. 

Sure, not everyone can hold overnight, but twice this week you could have had an 80-pointer and a 100-plus pointer during the RTH session.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What is the Bull Bear Strong Level?

A: The Bull Bear Strong Level is the single line that decides who owns the market this week. This week it sits at 7513. Above it, the bulls are in control and we favor longs. Below it, the sellers take over and we hunt shorts. Watch it close… if the bulls defend 7513 again, they keep the ball. Lose it, and the shorts get their turn.

What is a Strong Level?

A: A Strong Level is a price where the market has shown it cares… a spot where buyers or sellers have stepped in before. These are the lines we build trades around. When price loses a Strong Level and then reclaims it, that reclaim itself can be the trade. When two Strong Levels sit close together, expect the bulls to defend them heavily.

What is the Expected Range?

A: The Expected Range is the move the options market is pricing in for the week. This week it points to roughly 100 points, from a low near 7461 to a high near 7647. It gives you a map of where price may travel. And it is shocking how often we tag the edge of that range as early as Monday or Tuesday.

What does it mean to hold a runner?

A: A runner is the piece of your position you let ride after you have taken some profit. Holding it is the skill that turns a good week into a great one. We get at least one trade a week that runs 100+ points… this week we had two. You will not catch that move by scalping out early. You catch it by holding.

What is the Core Strategy?

A: The Core Strategy is one of our tracked trade approaches, built around bounce levels on the 3-minute chart. It has its own scoreboard right alongside the Battle Plan. Last week it delivered 100+ points, even on a slow no-trade day of tight 15-point candles. It is the foundation we teach for reading price and taking the right trades in the right locations.

MICROS TRADER BASICS

The Four Badge Challenge

The Four Badge Challenge is Micros Trader’s structured path through the Core Strategy Academy. Three badges cover the three primary bounce levels. The fourth badge requires the trader to identify all setups on a completed 3-minute RTH chart, putting everything together in one submission.

Every chart submission is reviewed personally by George. He looks at the chart, confirms what is correct, identifies what needs work, and tells the member when they have passed. Members advance when the level is genuinely mastered.
