Today’s Review

OVERVIEW

Battle Plans

This is becoming a banner week for Battle Plans trade ideas… and holding your runners!

The bad thing about the Battle Plans this week is… most of them activated while people in the United States were staring at the back of their eyelids, sleeping.

‘Tis the season, I guess.

Battle Plan 3️⃣

Battle Plan 3️⃣ was the first Battle Plan to activate.

It had a seven-point move.

No follow-through because of an Iranian news event creating a rare 20-point candle in the maintenance period.

A small green or break-even trade.

The key was to be a professional trader and not let the trade go against you.

We take break-even trades and we take small losses.

ES E-mini Daily Trade PlanThe goal is small losses, small wins, and big wins, but never ever large losses.

Large losses are created, not designed.

Battle Plan 2️⃣

Battle Plan 2️⃣ was the next trade to activate overnight.

I told the team this morning that if they took Battle Plan 2️⃣, to continue to hold the runner because you’re on the right side of price action.

At 1 PM or so, Battle Plan 2️⃣ was up 80 points.

Going into Power Hour, price was up 90 points.

In the final ten minutes, we got within five points of a 100-pointer.

I was cheering for a 100-pointer. Those are fun to report… even if I was asleep and missed the entry. We can always cheer for the other traders who are long!

Making a 100-pointer in a single day is not impossible, but it doesn’t happen every day.

It seems like at least once a week, one of the Battle Plan trades goes a hundred points.

 100-Pointer Hit!!!

Battle Plan 1️⃣

The next trade to activate was Battle Plan 1️⃣.

Several traders took this trade and did very well.

Although price did not hit the target, it was still a very nice 10- to 20-point trade.

Once again, the key is to never ever let price go against you and then… make things worse.

Taking a well-defined trade is never the mistake. The mistake is letting the trade go against you and compounding it by doing stupid things. We all know what those stupid things are… Moving your stop loss. Adding to a losing trade. Those are things we never ever do at MicrosTrader.

ES Emini Scalping and Swing Trade Setups

It’s very cool to see Battle Plan 1️⃣ and Battle Plan 2️⃣ back-to-back.

On Zoom, I told both the shorts and the longs to keep their runner, just in case.

There are occasions when members are long and other members are short, and everybody makes money.

This is the definition of looking for the right trades in the right trade locations.

Battle Plan Activated ES Emini Futures Recap

🌙 OVERNIGHT

Unfortunately, all the fun price action seemed to have occurred in the overnight session with a beautiful Battle Plan 2️⃣. 


☀️ RTH

I remarked to the group that when ES does a 40- to 60-point pullback… when the bulls control… that is often THE pullback.

Hold that runner. 

Battle Plan 1️⃣ Long from Monday is now up 150+ points… If you’re in the type of account that can do an overnight hold. 

Imagine if you will, you took the Battle Plan long on Monday, held, and added at last night’s Battle Plan 2️⃣.

You’re up 150 points from Monday’s Battle Plan and up another 95 points in last night’s Battle Plan. 

Talk about adding to a winning trade beautifully.

There’s nothing quite like adding to a winning trade with zero additional risk.  

See the scenario below.

BATTLE PLAN

sa

🔥 Battle Plan 1️⃣, Battle Plan 2️⃣, Battle Plan 3️⃣ 

All three activated with a combined total over 100 points! 

ES Emini Daily Trade Plan Battle Plan 2️⃣ was the big winner, up 85 points at the high end. 

ES Emini Daily Trade Plan If you took Battle Plan long on Monday night, that trade would be up 150 points. 

What a week!

 

ZOOM

 

My only advice was… if you are short from Battle Plan 1️⃣ or long from Battle Plan 2️⃣, to hold a runner.  

One of those traders was going ot be the big winner! 

We called one “high risk” short that paid small. I called the entry and exit. Small quick easy scalp.

Although I’m awarding zero points for ZOOM.. once again today…  the value was not in the points called live, but in helping traders stay on the right side of their trade plans. 

CORE STRATEGY: RTH ONLY (For Full Members)

 

At the time of this writing, I don’t see a single clean level that one could mark or trade. 

Zero points awarded.
