TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

ES Shorts… Two Days in a Row

For two days in a row, the mapped-out Battle Plan shorts paid and reached target.

Battle Plan Activated ES Emini Futures Recap

Our Battle Plan Vision

Look at these Battle Plan mappings. They almost look like hindsight.

They’re not. We stamped them ten hours before price ever arrived.

There it is in black and white… shorts in the right place, longs in the right place.

If you were an international member, these trades were pretty obvious. If you were sleeping in America, staring at the back of your eyelids, they slipped right past us.

Oh well. 

The market deals a fresh hand every single session… and another high-probability trade waits around the corner.

This was our playground today.

Very nice.

Short Here. Long There. 

ES Futures Battle Plan Mapped Trade Ideas

Zoom

The overnight session had all the fun.

RTH offered very little.

Not much else to say.

I fired three quick trades and closed my platform. 

Three punches on my trade ticket is generally all I allow. 

Small green day ensured. Time to walk. 

I took my wife out for shopping and lunch. 

I only glanced at the chart a couple times while out and about. 

I didn’t “sit down” and touch the chart again until 60 minutes before the New York close.

And.. would you look at that… we filled the gap… eventually… but it was ugly… welcome to summer trading!

Then ES reclaimed the Bull Bear line, retesting it two or three times.

Tip of the Day

Today the market taught a simple lesson… know when to close your platform and walk away from the day.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What is the Bull Bear Strong Level?

A: It is the line that separates bullish control from bearish control on the chart. Above it, bulls hold the edge. Below it, bears take over. Today ES reclaimed the Bull Bear line and retested it two or three times. Watch it closely… it tells you which side of the market you should be leaning toward.

Why does the 7520 level matter so much?

A: The 7520 level has been the most critical level for a couple of weeks in a row. Today the point of control finished right at it, sitting just above the Bull Bear Strong Level line. Humpty Dumpty right here… price is balanced on the wall. When a level carries that much weight, wait for your own confirmation before you commit.

What is a Strong Range and how do I use it for entries?

A: A Strong Range is a mapped zone where price tends to react. Today’s Strong Range sat at 7496 to 7491. If ES loses that range and then reclaims it, you can use the label as an entry to go long. Or wait for ES to reclaim today’s halfback at 7503, VWAP, and today’s opening. I want to see beautiful fair value gapping candles come out of that range before I trust it.

What is the Core Strategy?

A: The Core Strategy is our setup for Full Members. It runs separate from the daily Battle Plan levels and racked up 110-plus points this week, including a 50-plus point 3M FS. It is a full method for members who want more than the mapped Battle Plan levels alone.

What does Zoom mean on the scoreboard?

A: Zoom is our fast, in-and-out scalping approach. Today was scalper’s delight… big candles, risky, quick punches. You could grab multiple 10-pointers if you took profit quickly. Zoom banked 40-plus points. It rewards speed and discipline… get in, take your points, get out.
