TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Absolutely Nothing 

The market is waiting on PCE and Nvidia.

Yes, it looks like a ship lost at sea without a rudder. A ghost ship, if you will.

Summer ES Trading

I always forget just how much I loathe summer trading until August.

Fall trading cannot get here soon enough.

Don’t lose heart… easier trading conditions are around the corner.

Tip of the Day

Take Heed After A Great Week:

The most dangerous moment in trading arrives right after an amazing week.

Overconfidence blows up more accounts than bad luck ever did. Take heed lest you fall.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS

What is the preferred trade in Battle Plan #379?

A: Battle Plan 5. It’s a long at the top of an old range we traded many times. The ideal entry is 7627. If price pushes deeper but reclaims 7627… that’s the long. Battle Plan 4 is also a welcome long, but 5 is the one I want. Battle Plan 1 is the add-on location with a 7780+ target.

What is a Bull Bear line and how is it used in this plan?

A: The Bull Bear line is the level that separates bull control from bear control. Above it, bulls are in charge. Below it, bears are. In this plan, Battle Plan 2 is a short idea on the rejection of the Bull Bear line and the established range. The odds say price won’t break into the range the very first time. This one is for aggressive traders who like shorts.

What does Range Rules mean?

A: Range Rules is simple. When the market is stuck in a range, you sell the top and buy the bottom. Shorts at the top, longs at the bottom. Battle Plan 5 is a Range Rules short for the aggressive. Battle Plan 6 is a bottom of the range long… included just in case. It could also be a fantastic option play to the north.

What is the Core Strategy?

A: The Core Strategy is the full member playbook… the repeatable setups I take day after day. It gets its own line on the Scoreboard. This week it’s sitting at 45+ points with three GREAT setups. Full members can go look at every one of them.

What is the Tip of the Day about taking heed after a great week?

A: The most dangerous moment in trading arrives right after an amazing week. You feel invincible. You size up. You skip the plan. Overconfidence blows up more accounts than bad luck ever did. Take heed lest you fall… stick to your Battle Plan levels and keep your size honest.
