ES & MES Futures Trade Plan #371

Base Hits 

Singles and doubles, all week long.

We ran the same play over and over. 

To use a football analogy… we ran it straight up the middle… the entire game… three yards at a time. 

Grinding out first downs. No highlight reel. No long bomb. Just chains moving.

Zero 100 pointers this week. We usually get one Hail-Mary. Two weeks ago we had four or five, and one of them ran 400 points all by itself.

Sure, the scoreboard looks pitiful… Look closer.

We never abandon our trade plan, not even once.

Day in and day out, we read the daily price action clearly. 5-points here. 10-points there. A 30-pointer Thursday. They add up!

That is consistency. That is accuracy. 

Isn’t that the trader you want to be? 

Consistent. Accurate. Every Single Day.

Winning is a habit… practiced daily. 

We battled hard and won! 

We paid our dues on the gridiron this week. 

We logged the hours. We were on the right side of price action every day. We practiced holding runners and had amazing discussions – cheering for each other along the way. 

So… Ice your sore shoulders and bruised knees. 

We head back on the field Monday.

No mercy. 

See you there. 

Battle Plan 1️⃣ ES Long

Price almost made it to the Drop Zone. 

Nice ladder back. 

On Zoom, I warned that we had a Small Range Alert and to expect little follow-through. 

And… that the rest of the day would hardly be worth trading. 

Boy, did that turn out to be true.

Multiple traders took different entries around this Strong Range. Small green day all the way around.

This entry, if you got the entry – it missed me by 1 tick – ES climbed 8 points and came running back down in the power hour. 

Nothing to do on Friday in the Power Hour. 

ES Implied Move

A very modest range.

Will we take an implied move? We didn’t this week.

I must say… I do find the range low very interesting! That is the level I’ve been wanting ES to get to all week.

Tip of the Day

Trade The Edges:

The edges of the range hold the liquidity, the reactions, and the money.

Wait for price to reach an edge. The middle is where patience goes to die.

Points Accumulated This Week:

Battle Plan: 50+

🔥 NADA. We are NOWHERE near a high-probability trade location. Luckily, the Battle Plan is just one way we make points in our Micros Trader System. 

The Battle Plan is consistently the category that makes the most points. Not this week.

Zoom: 50+

🔥 8-Point Short.  

Core Strategy: 0

Horrible Level Development… that probably relates to the small range alert.
