TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

ATH’s!

New All Time Highs… we made it.

Multiple Battle Plans got us long for 100+ point runners this week.

For those who held a “Lotto Runner“, congratulations… it paid!

400+ points from Wednesday’s Battle Plan 3️⃣.

300+ points from Wednesday’s Battle Plan 1️⃣ & Battle Plan 2️⃣.

200+ from Monday’s long we called out on Zoom & YouTube.

Those are insane numbers and they look fake… but you know better… we traded it live together!

What a monster wild week… and the last two weeks demonstrate just how well our system works.

We wait for our levels.

We take our trades.

We add to our winning trades.

We hold runners.

And we keep holding… playing perfect chess.

400+ Point ES Trade Long

This trade originated last Thursday evening with Battle Plan 3️⃣. And it had company… other 100+ point runners sat on the same map.

Yes… it CAN happen.

Yes… YOU can do it too.

We will keep working on holding runners… the easiest money a trader can make.

Once price runs your direction, play perfect chess. You don’t need another winning trade. You are already in one.

That is why I repeated one phrase over and over in the Battle Plan notes the last couple weeks… “Hold with all of your might.”

Shorts

Shorts got crushed… ran over by a freight truck, then a steam locomotive, and then Atlas landed on their dead bodies.

That is what countering a market ripping to new all-time highs will do to you.

Stand down and WAIT. 

We might wait for DAYS… maybe a week or two. 

There is a time to trade… and there is a time to STAND DOWN. 

Understand the difference and respect it. 

NOT EVERY DAY IS A TRADING DAY. 

Your mileage may vary. 

Tip of the Day

Never Short?

I dropped this tip yesterday…now it reads like futures trading prophecy.

“You never have to SHORT ES to make all the money you need!

I believe that with all my heart.

90% long is the way… IMHO.”

Bonus Tip:

Never ever counter a parabolic trend. I must have said it 22 times on Zoom this AM.

Does anyone need to write another set of 100 sentences?

If so, may I suggest…

Trader’s Homework

“The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching.” – John Wooden

When Tim saw the homework simulator, he remarked, “This hits so many things simultaneously: review, accountability, feedback, consensus/agreement on levels and their tradability.”

Scoreboard

Points Accumulated This Week:

Battle Plan: 0

Zero. Zilch. Nada. 

Price never pulled back. 

It was a … Hold that runner day OR stand down day. 

Holding the runner was easy again today… standing down was difficult.

Resisting the urge to call a top… that struggle was real for some.

Refusing that first ladder short… just as real for others.

🔥 300+ Pointer Long from Friday’s Battle Plan 1️⃣ we called on Zoom & YouTube.

🔥 400+ Pointer Long from Wednesday night’s Battle Plan 3️⃣.

Zoom: 50+

🔥 Nothing today!

🔥 200 points if you held onto the Lotto Runner we outlined on yesterday’s Zoom. I can’t count those points for today… in good conscience… because they did not occur during TODAY’S Zoom. But the points are just as valid and real if you held onto your run. See the chart below.

MES Micros Battle Plan Live Trading Room

When we started Zoom, we discussed that this would probably be a no-trade day.

The value of Zoom can’t be tallied on points alone.

Core Strategy: 104+ (Full Members)

For my full members, break levels tell the story. Counter that story at your own risk.

🔥 40+ point BS LONG WTT (shared on Discord)

Not only was this trade with the trend, it was with a parabolic trend! 

🔥 Two counter shorts for about 7.20.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What does Stand Down mean in the Battle Plan?

A: Stand Down means no trading… you wait. After a relentless 400+ point rally through the all time highs, price action gets squirrelly and offers nothing worth your money. On those days the Battle Plan says Stand Down. You might wait for days… maybe a week or two. There is a time to trade and there is a time to Stand Down. Understand the difference and respect it. An empty Battle Plan protects your account just as well as a winning one.

What is Green Over Greed?

A: Green Over Greed means you protect your profits instead of chasing more. After riding 300 and 400 point runners into new all time highs, the greedy move is forcing another trade into squirrelly conditions. The disciplined move is keeping what you earned. Keep your powder dry. Another high probability trade waits around the corner… and when it shows, we map it.

What is a Strong Level?

A: A Strong Level is a mapped price zone where ES has proven it will react… a spot buyers or sellers defended before. The Battle Plan uses Strong Levels for entries and add-ons. In this plan, the deep long ideas trigger on a reclaim of the Strong Levels… price dips below, snaps back above, and you get long with the level underneath your trade. Then you add to your winning trade on the next reclaim.

What is the Core Strategy?

A: The Core Strategy is the full member system built around break levels. Break levels tell the story… counter that story at your own risk. This week the Core Strategy banked 104+ points for full members, including a 40+ point long that traded with a parabolic trend. Right trade, right location, with the trend… that is the heart of it.

What is a Lotto Runner?

A: A Lotto Runner is the last piece of a winning trade you leave on and let run for an outsized move. This week the Lotto Runners paid… 200, 300, even 400+ points from mapped Battle Plan longs. Once price runs your direction, play perfect chess. You already hold a winning trade, so stop hunting for a new one. Hold with all of your might.
