Trades of the Week: ES & MES Futures Battle Plan | Best Emini Trading Room

Let’s talk about the trades of the week. Before we dive into this week’s setups, we need to carry forward last Sunday’s battle plan long that played out beautifully. That trade concluded this week, and we’ll walk through it step by step.

Carrying Forward the Sunday Long

Coming into this week from Friday, your stop was five points under the RTH low. That’s what this box represents. At this point, you’d already be up 130 points from the long—plenty of room to carry a “lotto runner” into the weekend. If you’re up 100+ points, you can typically carry it through the weekend, especially in cash or prop accounts that allow it.

Sunday Night Battle Plan

As the market opened Sunday, I published the battle plan with 1–5 mapped trade entries, each numbered on the chart. Sometimes there are extra notes on the chart and at MicroTrader.com Battle Plan.

The setup was simple: if we opened with an immediate push into the marked zone, I was interested—but only if the bulls showed clean energy. Messy action? I was out. Strong bullish intent? That zone should hold. Price pushed back up and made a new high, so for me—no trade. Remember: unless I specifically note an invalidation rule, the trade idea remains active until executed.

Execution Attempts & Market Reaction

Eventually, price did come into the range I wanted. I favored the lower edge, but the first touch sparked a short-covering rally into the close. At the next open, I hoped for one more test lower to get long. Instead, it was sloppy—so I passed. Still, the broader battle plan worked, because price responded exactly where I expected bulls to defend.

That’s the essence of the battle plan: great bulls know where the bears are, and great bears know where the bulls are. Even without my preferred entry, the zone held true.

Day-by-Day Battle Plan Review

Monday’s Battle Plan

The Monday night plan didn’t trigger—none of the entries played out. Nothing to review there.

Tuesday: Live Long Trade

On Tuesday, I was live on Zoom (and also on YouTube). During the session, I mapped out a long with three profit targets. Using our three-contract system, you would still have been holding a runner by the time we reached target #3. That’s also where I had a mapped-out short. Once again, bulls and bears were exactly where the plan said they’d be.

Wednesday: Careful With Fresh Longs

Wednesday’s battle plan (posted before ETH open) featured trade idea #2. Notes warned: “Be careful with fresh longs this high. I prefer deeper pathing and need to see a move back with vengeance.” Sure enough, the bulls stepped in exactly where expected. Members on Zoom saw it live—we went long and did very well.

I never trade news candles with a cash account, but after the spike, I did re-enter on a ladder sequence at the mapped zone. Another textbook reaction.

Thursday: Short Above RTH High

Thursday night’s battle plan labeled this as trade idea #1 (remember, numbering is for visual order, not importance). The note was clear: “Possible short if we run above the RTH high.” That’s exactly what happened. The Dow tagged an all-time high, snapped back inside the range, and the short trade worked beautifully.

Conclusion: Wrapping Up the Sunday Long

Let’s circle back to last Sunday’s long. Using strict rules, stops were moved five points under successive RTH lows:

• At +150 points, stop trailed under the next RTH low.
• At +200 points, it ratcheted higher again.
• Ultimately, the trade concluded at +215 points, stopped out by rule.

If you’re up over 200 points, there’s flexibility—you could hold with a wider stop, or lock in the strict 200. Either way, the trade was a massive win and aligned perfectly with the battle plan levels.
