TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Summer Blues

Good ol’ summer price action here.

There’s not much to say because not much happened.

Battle Plan 4️⃣ ES Short Setup

Nice mapping. 

Easy setup. 

10-point follow in the Asia session.

And a near 30-point run in the late afternoon RTH session!   

Right Locations Right Trades ES Emini Futures

Battle Plan 3️⃣ ES Long Setup

If you happen to be up at 2:30 in the morning or so, this could have been an opportunity. 

The right trade in the right trade location. 

Price moved 40 points. 

🔥 A 20-pointer if you took profit as price went into the next Strong Range.

Tip of the Day

Some days you just feel like you’re fighting for scraps… Today’s price action felt like that!

No clean runs. No easy money. Every entry was a grind and re-touched before it paid a dime, and you had to claw for every single measly point.

Days like this test your patience more than your ability to read price action. Take the scraps, protect your green, and let the big move come to you. Another high-probability trade is around the corner.

🔥 10-Point Battle Plan 4️⃣ Short

Zoom: 0

🔥 We discussed a high-risk short at or above the gap fill.

🔥 We discussed another high-risk short … lose the opening, travel to VWAP. That played out beautifully for the aggressive traders.

🔥 We discussed shorting the back test of the opening against the Strong Range. That would have paid beautifully too.

Nothing EASY today for sure.

Small green day for me.

Core Strategy: 0 (Full Members)

ZERO level development … summer trading at its finest.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What is a Strong Level?

A: A Strong Level is a price zone where the market has shown it cares. Buyers or sellers stepped in hard there before. So price tends to react again when it returns. In the Battle Plan we map these ahead of time… then we wait for price to come to us and give a reaction. Reclaim a Strong Level and you often have a clean spot to get long or short.

What is the Bull Bear Strong Level?

A: The Bull Bear Strong Level is the line that separates bullish control from bearish control. Above it, bulls have the edge. Below it, bears do. Trades right around this line are tricky and low probability at best. Price whips both ways as the market decides which side wins. Let it pick a direction first… then trade with the winner.

What does the Preferred Trade mean in the Battle Plan?

A: The Preferred Trade is the one setup I like most out of everything mapped. It is where the location, the odds, and the reaction line up best. You do not have to take every level on the map. Focus your energy on the Preferred Trade and let the weaker ones go.

What is a lotto runner?

A: A lotto runner is a small piece of your position you hold for a much bigger move. You bank your safe profit first… then let that last runner ride for the home run. Most of the time it gives back a little. Once in a while it pays huge. Try with all your might to hold it when the location deserves it.

What is the Core Strategy?

A: The Core Strategy is Micros Trader’s advanced scalping system taught inside the Academy. It covers the three primary bounce levels, volume profile, range trading, reversal boxes, and position sizing. On quiet summer days it may score zero because there is no clean level development. That is fine. It waits for real structure before it fires.
