Best ES Short Today

☀️ TODAY’S REVIEW:

A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Setups:

As stated in last night’s Battle Plan, “Battle Plan (1️⃣) was nearly activated at the end of the day. See the chart below. I will continue to monitor closely!“

I also noted, “If my “prediction” in this morning’s AM Briefing comes true, this should be a great entry if presented.”  and “We are nowhere near a high-probability, high-quality setup. Except maybe Battle Plan (1️⃣).”

And then, in this morning’s AM Briefing remarked once again, “I will keep a close eye on Battle Plan (1️⃣).” 

Yes, bulls were in control and shorts were indeed counter-trend. That doesn’t mean NOT to take the short… it just means be strategic and pre-plan it.

That’s the beauty of the Battle Plan being published the night before: we’re calm, cool, and calculated. We know exactly where we want to go long and where we want to go short. These trade ideas are pre-planned, not knee-jerk reactions.

The hard part? Waiting.

Did you see the “Waiting is Part of Execution” coffee cup?

As soon as we went live on Zoom and YouTube with the Opening Candles, we called out shorts against our Strong Range. This played very well for traders who got entry…. congrats to those who took it.

Now, here’s what I want you to hear: this trade idea was nestled right at the RTH open, which means the timing was HIGH RISK. I made absolutely sure to call that out before anyone committed capital. The open is not a place for the faint of heart or the undisciplined trader.

We provided three Take Profit Targets. 

We nailed the first Take Profit quickly. Wednesday POC. 

The second target was the end of the mapping at the next Strong Range. Bulls control, so reaching the Strong Range will be difficult. 

If you got short from the opening we outlined in the video above, and held a runner – you did good!

THE GOLDEN COIN:

Bulls Control

Time and time again, it pays to hold a runner. 

Eventually, a trade will roll your direction, and the runner PAYS handsomely. 

While holding a runner, you can’t be STUPID. Think about that. Your stupidity is locked out when you’re holding a runner. It’s in an armbar… a headlock from Hulk Hogan himself.

Holding a runner is The Golden Coin.

Side 1: A nice BIG run in your direction is possible. 

Side 2: Stupidity is in a headlock unable to hurt you.

BATTLE PLAN: 

Battle Plan (1️⃣). Traders collected 10 and 20 points depending on entry and management. Well done!

As discussed, shorts are COUNTER. Don’t be shy about taking your 10 pointers. Keep a runner if you can afford it as a “paid-for lotto runner.”

Wednesday’s POC was Take Profit target #1. See the chart below. 

Take Profit #2 was the completion of the price map at the next Strong Range.

Methodology

Methodology

Video: How To Trade The Battle Plan

Each evening, I scan the ES chart and ask one primary question:

Where are the bulls and bears positioned?

"Great bears know where the bulls are.
Great bulls know where the bears are."

The arrows you see highlight those pressure points...zones where reactions in price are most likely.

Careful consideration is given to trend, range structure, liquidity pools, and our Strong Levels — a custom TradingView indicator available to paid Battle Plan or full Micros Trader members.

Most arrows lean toward the buy side. That's no coincidence as the ES is a long-biased instrument over time.

How you choose to trade these zones is entirely up to you:

Entry:

  • Our Core Strategy: Low-time frame bounce levels.
  • Level Reclaim: Market order with proper stop loss under low.
  • Your own preferred method: Just use the arrows as a price map and trade on your own confirmation.
  • Paper Trade til confident.
  • Set Alerts on TradingView as ES/MES trades 23 hours a day. Entries may occur at any time.

Instrument:

  • Futures — My primary instrument as our group trades ES/MES futures as scalps and multi-day holds.
  • Option spreads

Nothing on this page is a trade recommendation.
I am not a financial advisor.
