Preparing ES Emini and MES Micros Traders To Trade In Our S&P Trading Room

Opening Remarks

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the AM Briefing brought to you by MicroTrader.com, where together we trade better. Today is Wednesday, May 28th, and this is episode number 437.

“The one who walks with the wise will become wise, but a companion of fools will suffer harm.”

Tip of the Day: Trading Countertrend

Today’s tip: Did you take a counter trade? Was it in your trade plan? It should be small and pre-planned. Never add to a loser or move your stop—just get out. Capture part of the move, using the 50% rule or even a third if the location is strong. Anticipate bounce zones and exit before them. Remember: it’s a scalp, not a miracle trade.

News Drivers & Live Session

Eyes are on Nvidia earnings after the close, and FOMC minutes hit this afternoon. I’ll be live 10 minutes prior and will stay on to watch Nvidia’s impact on price. If you’d like to join, there’s a link in the description.

Chart Review & TradingView Feedback

We reviewed battle plans drawn the night before. A rant followed on TradingView’s new full-opacity replay text obstructing the screen. Visually distracting and unnecessary—hoping for a better implementation.

Trade Breakdown: Short at 44

Two trades today: a scratch long from 21 and a short from 44 that yielded 5 points. The latter trade followed a battle plan setup with a clear ladder and fair value gap. Stop was just one tick above the gap. Trade moved quickly in favor and was managed without moving stops.

Key level to watch: 2025 opening price — potential magnet for today’s session.

Session Game Plan

Mark key levels: prior IB low, London high (backside), and the bull/bear line. Watch for price to grab liquidity pools and respond near strong levels. Plan is to short any clean shift with initial target at Tuesday’s POC. Peel contracts progressively. Phrase of the day: structure over desire.

SUMMARY:

  • ✅ Counter trades must be pre-planned, taken small, and managed with firm stops
  • ✅ A short at 44 yielded 5 points thanks to clear battle plan alignment and fair value gap logic
  • ✅ Never add to losing trades or move stops—define where you’re wrong and exit accordingly
  • ✅ Key levels include prior IB low, London high (backside), and the 2025 opening price as a magnet
  • ✅ Trading plan hinges on structure over desire, with setups guided by pre-drawn battle plans
