Preparing ES Emini and MES Micros Traders To Trade In Our S&P Trading Room
AM Briefing Video – Presented by MicrosTrader.com
Good Morning and Market Overview
Good morning! Happy Thursday, February 6th.
“Take delight in the Lord, and He will give you your heart’s desire.”
Psalm 37:4
Trading Tip of the Day
Today’s trading tip comes from personal experience. If you’re in a trade and you exit, I recommend continuing to mentally track that trade until it’s fully completed. This practice helps with discipline and prevents impulsive counter-trades.
For example, if I’m long, I don’t start looking for shorts until that long play is fully resolved. Mentally staying in the trade using our system ensures better decision-making and avoids premature counter-trading.
Market Drivers and Key Events
Today is the day before the Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report, which makes it a high-risk trading day. Given the current market conditions, it’s highly advisable to avoid trading today and tomorrow altogether.
- Earnings Reports: Amazon reports earnings after the close today.
- Potential Market Moves: With NFP tomorrow, today could be a slow, choppy, or even a reversal day.
- Caution Levels: The market has experienced big swings recently, so risk management is critical.
Market Recap & Technical Analysis
Looking at yesterday’s session:
- After a red-folder event, the market reclaimed a key level (39), and I looked for long opportunities.
- I debated where to keep my final runner, and my gut instinct would have kept me in a major move. However, my stop got hit by just a tick or two.
- Key level 67.25 was a major support, and the market defended it beautifully, rallying from there.
Currently, we are still above the 2025 opening price, which serves as an anchor point. The overnight session showed a strong rally after an initial drop.
Key Trading Levels to Watch
- RTH High: A breakout above this level could signal further upside.
- 67.75 Level: If the market pulls back, this could act as a key support area.
- Trend Line Support: If price retraces to the trend line and finds support, a bounce is likely.
Trade Plan & Strategy
- Long or Flat Bias: As long as price remains above key levels, the bias is long or flat.
- Short Setups: No shorting unless the market breaks significant support levels.
- London Session Impact: The London session provided an ideal entry opportunity, breaking Asia’s high, then dropping, and rebounding sharply.
Final Thoughts & News Reaction
As we approached the unemployment claims report, the market reaction was muted. Unemployment claims came in slightly higher than expected, but there was no significant market impact.
