TODAY’S REVIEW: ES FUTURES
Battle Plan 6️⃣ | Best ES Setup This Week
During the afternoon live stream on Fed Day, I said, “This is where the bulls MUST defend.” This was a do-or-die location for the bulls.
And boy-oh-boy did they defend!
And would you look at that… Target Hit. Bull Bear line tagged!
🔥 130+ Point ES Long for Battle Plan 6️⃣
Of course, to make the full 100 points, a person has to be able to hold a lotto runner overnight or re-enter when the market reopens.
If Battle Plan 6️⃣ wasn’t mapped out the night before or traded live… no one would believe us.
Of course, this was Fed Day and no one… and I mean no one… needs or should trade Fed Day. Although no one should be trading on Fed Day, it doesn’t negate the accuracy of the mapping.
The entire premise of the Battle Plan is knowing where to go long and where to go short. Whether it’s ideal trading conditions or not. The Battle Plan delivered.
NOTE: In order for price to hit our deeper… and dare I say higher probability… Battle Plan trades, ES will be forced to become violent with massive 20+ point candles to get there. That’s the only way price gets that low. It’s part of the game.
What a beautiful 24 hours for our system… Each outlined Battle Plan trade idea delivered.
If we can keep identifying the right trades in the right trade locations, the probability of our success continues to increase. You don’t need to trade big. You need to trade accurately.
Battle Plan 1️⃣ | ES Long
Although you might have skipped Battle Plan 6️⃣, Battle Plan 1️⃣ was super easy to take. Perfect mapping and perfect delivery.
🔥 50-70 Pointer ES Long for Battle Plan 1️⃣
As discussed in the AM Briefing and inside of our Live Trading Room… this could have also been an excellent add-on to the Battle Plan 6️⃣ long above… adding 50+ points to the trade.
This trade is about as pretty as it gets.
Tip of the Day
Ten points of locked green beats twenty points of maybe.
When the market hands you a gift, take it and smile. Green Over Greed… every single time.

Scoreboard

Points Accumulated This Week:
Battle Plan: 220+
🔥 100 Additional Points for Battle Plan 6️⃣ from Fed Day.
🔥 50+ Point Battle Plan 1️⃣ ES Long
Zoom: 50+
ES did as we mapped, but it was U-G-L-Y. After a 130+ point move… what do you expect other than slop-n-chop! Sloppy price action is what we got – exactly as expected.
I remarked in Discord, “Quintessential Day for holding a lotto runner and doing nothing.”
I appreciate Scott’s comment about today. “Thanks for helping me not have my hopes up for today and saving my powder. Some nice core strategy levels still but it was hard to commit to a trade after such a big move. No confidence the rest of this week probably. Might take your advice and just wait for Monday 🙂”
Core Strategy: 30+ (For Full Members)
🔥 25+ Point 3M FS/BL Long as highlighted in Discord

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS
What is a Bull Bear line in the Battle Plan?
A: The Bull Bear line is the level that separates bull control from bear control on the ES chart. Price above it… bulls are in charge. Price below it… bears have the ball. In this Battle Plan, ES tagged the Bull Bear line after a 130+ point long, which is why the plan says bulls ripped control from the bears. It also serves as a target. Being long going into the Bull Bear line is the play. Buying above it feels like chasing.
What is a Strong Level and how does a Range Rules short use it?
A: A Strong Level is a key price level where ES has repeatedly reacted… a place where the market has shown it cares. A Range Rules short is a counter trade at the top of an old range. You short at the range edge and target the next Strong Level below. This week’s Battle Plan lists one for aggressive traders only. Bulls defended that old range this afternoon. If they defend it again, the short fails. Small, if at all.
What is Core Strategy?
A: Core Strategy is the Micros Trader intraday trading method available to Full Members. It uses specific chart levels and setups, like the 3M FS/BL Long highlighted in Discord, to find entries during the session. This week’s Core Strategy trades produced 30+ points. The Battle Plan maps the big picture locations. Core Strategy handles the execution once price gets there.
What does Green Over Greed mean?
A: Green Over Greed means you lock in profit when the market hands it to you… instead of holding out for more and watching it disappear. Ten points of locked green beats twenty points of maybe. It is the Tip of the Day in this Battle Plan for a reason. When the market gives you a gift, take it and smile. Green Over Greed… every single time.
What is a lotto runner and why hold one on OPEX?
A: A lotto runner is a small piece of a winning trade you leave on after taking most of your profit. Stop at break even or better… so it costs you nothing if it fails. It lets you stay in a big move without adding risk. This Battle Plan says Friday is Triple Witching option expiration with no high probability trades. The right move is to hold your runner, play perfect chess, and keep your powder dry. Sometimes the best trade is to go fishing.
