Then you get one of those moves skyrocketing off the 7728 Strong Level.
And in last night’s Battle Plan I wrote, “ES tried very hard but simply could not reclaim the 7728 Strong Level. And when it does, it should be a sight to behold.”
It surely was a sight to behold.
A 40-point instant move.
Not too shabby.
The pent-up energy below this critical Strong Level had to be released and it was.

As discussed in the review video above, we traded this level several times. Very successful.
Today’s price action was much more enjoyable to trade.
🔥 30-point Battle Plan 1️⃣ Long
ES rewarded our traders today with multiple traders capturing more than 40 points.
Price made it to the outlined target per the mapping, but not the ultimate target from the notes. See the chart below.
I took a few of them myself today and called two of them out on Discord.

A: A Strong Level is a price where ES has proven it will react… a level with real history behind it. This Battle Plan centers on the 7728 Strong Level. ES fought below it, could not reclaim it, and pent-up energy built underneath. When the reclaim finally came, price ripped 40 points almost instantly. That is why the reclaim of a Strong Level is always actionable.
Why is 7780 the target for the long trade ideas?
A: Reclaiming the 7728 Strong Level puts ES back inside the range it lost on Tuesday’s 80-point short. Once price gets back inside a range, it tends to travel that range… and 7780 sits at the destination. The plan calls for entering on the reclaim, adding to a winning trade if the second reclaim confirms, and holding for 7780. If both ideas work, you have a monster trade on your hands.
What is the Core Strategy?
A: The Core Strategy is the precision level system reserved for Full Members. It maps exact prices where high-quality trades set up, beyond the Battle Plan’s numbered ideas. This week those levels produced 25 plus points, and two of them were called out live on Discord. When a Core Strategy level lines up with the Battle Plan map, you have the right trade in the right location.
What does the Tip of the Day mean by Take Your Green And Be Done?
A: The Tip of the Day is the daily coaching lesson inside every Battle Plan. Today’s lesson is simple. Good session? Close the platform. The market hands out no loyalty rewards for overstaying. Take your green and be done.
How should traders approach the day before option expirationExpirationThe last day a contract trades before it settles. For ES/MES, this is the third Friday of March, June, September, and December. Full entry →?
A: Thursday is the day before OPEX Friday… option expiration… and it lands in August, a month that demands extra caution. The Battle Plan asks the question every trader should answer before the bell. What does your trade plan say about trading the day before option expiration? If your plan has no answer, that is homework to finish before the open.
MICROS TRADER BASICS
Preparation is Power
The Battle Plan is built the night before… mapping strategies before the market opens, reducing emotional reactions. Trading with a plan helps you act with intention rather than react emotionally to price movements.
Every session begins with a plan already in place. That preparation is what keeps you on the right side of price action… and off the wrong side of it.

THE HIGH DEGREE OF LEVERAGE THAT IS OFTEN OBTAINED IN FUTURES, OPTIONS, FOREX AND CONTRACTS FOR DIFFERENCE CAN WORK AGAINST YOU AS WELL AS FOR YOU. IN OTHER WORDS, THE USE OF LEVERAGE IS A TOOL THAT CAN LEAD TO LARGE LOSSES AS WELL AS LARGE GAINS. WHEN USED PROPERLY THIS CAN BE AN ADVANTAGE, BUT WHEN USED IMPROPERLY AND CARELESSLY IT CAN RESULT IN CATASTROPHIC LOSSES - OFTEN RAPIDLY.
