DEC 31 TRADE PLAN

A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Setups:

Let’s give some context… as traders tend to have short memories… We just rode a monster 200-point multi-day rally straight into SPY and SPX all-time highs.

December has been nothing short of incredible.

Now? We’re swimming in holiday crappola action.

To be blunt, today was a cluster bomb of NOTHING.

When we launched the live stream, I announced I am not interested in trading from “here to here” and ES stayed glued there all day! I tried to squeeze in one trade but only made commissions – I closed my platform and never opened it again!

An “inside day” GLUED to the Bull Bear Strong Level. See chart.

Nothing Day

A nothing day.

No Battle Plan.

We didn’t MAP one trade on Zoom. We placed TWO magnets, but price had other plans.

Not even a good Core Strategy Trade!

A break even or LOSER day.

TIP OF THE DAY

When price fails to bounce off your primary levels, CAUTION. We do WELL in normal price action. Today was NOT a normal price action day. We noticed this early!

TRADE OF THE DAY

BATTLE PLAN:

Sunday Battle Plan (2️⃣): You COULD still be holding into a LOTTO Financed Runner. The stop would be 5-10 points above today’s RTH High. We will continue to play this out per procedure.

ZOOM:

We did not map one trade. We talked trades but did not map a single trade. We waited for Battle Plan (2️⃣) (4️⃣) which never developed.

CORE STRATEGY:

All break evens IMHO.

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.
