FRIDAY ES CHART REVIEW

🗓️ Posted: Friday May 15, 2026

TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Redeemed From MES Loser

After a full stop loser on MES yesterday, I was ready to get back in the saddle.

The Battle Plan last night was particularly unusual — I outlined two potential shorts.

After publishing the Battle Plan, I got started rather quickly. 

During the maintenance period last night, I took a Core Strategy short, set my stop, and went to bed.

🔥 I woke up to a beautiful 80-point short.

At the apex, I was up over 100 points.

Per the YouTube video above, you’ll see that I added and captured 13 points on the add-on. Kept my short at a 40-point winner. 50-point day assured.

Below is a current screenshot at the time of this writing.

BATTLE PLAN 2️⃣: MES Short

If you are burning the midnight oil or an international member, Battle Plan 2️⃣ could have offered a short coupled with our Core Strategy entries.

I outlined the potential entry during the AM Briefing.

🔥 Battle Plan 2️⃣ offered a 50-pointer down to the Strong Level.

Very nice trade!

See the chart posted above. 

BATTLE PLAN 3️⃣ MES Long

Once again, if you were up really early, you could have taken Battle Plan 3️⃣ a couple of different times. 

In fact, we took it again during the RTH session.

🔥 Battle Plan 3️⃣ paid multiple times. The best being a 27-pointer.

Price reached the mapped out target a couple times. Very nice. 

A few examples included in the chart below.

OPEX Friday: Caution ES Traders

As we were all aware, today was OPEX Friday — a day to strike quickly, “see money-take money”, and walk.

As you will note in the video above, every time there was a profitable trade, I told the traders who took that trade to close up shop and call it a day.

That is part of my job: helping you stay on the right side of price action and in the right mental framework.

STRONG LEVELS 

Certainly a week where the Strong Levels stood out as spectacular. 

The Strong Levels are updated every Sunday.  

They represent what I believe to be the most important levels for the week

Tip of the Day

OPEX Friday is not a day to get yourself in a bind and try to recover. 

OPEX Friday is a one-trade-and-done day at best. 

OPEX Friday is also a great day to scale down from ES Futures to the MES Micros contract.

We called out three trades that netted 15 to 20 points each. 

All you needed was one trade, one entry, one exit, and done. 

Congrats to the traders who took one green trade and walked.
