Futures Trade Plan for ES Trading

A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Battle Plan Setups:
Today's Review
Summary: The ES had a small trading range today. There are easier days to trade.
100% Grade A Pasture-Fed “Chop Fest”.
The EARLY WARNING SYSTEM in our group is…. Anytime the first 30 minutes has a range of 15 points or less – it is rarely worth trading. If it’s 13 points or less – go do something else.
Pre-Market: (1️⃣) was a possible long entry. I did not even attempt it – too messy. See First Image. At least the zone we targeted held nicely.
Opening on Zoom: We looking for (1️⃣) trade idea to be presented with price moving deeper in the path with a powerful reaction back north to get back inside the multi-session balance (range) as discussed in AM Briefing this morning. That was not ES’s intention. We wait.
Small Range: We got “small range” disgusting chop instead. I reminded the group of “Range Rules” PLUS “Small Range” trading is hardly EVER worth trading.
Heck, we didn’t even move 15 points from the “RTH opening price” all day.
NY Lunch: A new “Teflon Don” Level… at the bottom of the range as outlined on AM Briefing. Bulls defended it hard today.
After NY Lunch: We made a new RTH low, got back within range and I went long. Range Rules Rule – counter them at your own risk and PNL. Ignore them at your own peril. PLUS price was still in the (1️⃣) Battle Plan Zone. I gave it a shot.
Silver Bullet: Continued chop and a mess. I remarked in the group, “It has been 12 hours since we were more than 15 points away from today’s opening price” This will break… which way will Humpty Dumpty go?

TRADE OF THE DAY
Truthfully… after the price established a small 30 Minute Opening Range (13 points), “WALK” was the “Trade of the Day”! Otherwise, it was a mentally draining day. There are easier days to trade than small-range days.

Not a lot changed since yesterday.

TRADE IDEAS
(1️⃣) If the bulls are real, this is very possible. Make the bulls prove it. There is plenty of meat on the bone on a 2nd ladder IMHO. Your mileage may vary. They defended the bottom of the range all day long and won. Target Friday’s RTH High. Don’t be afraid to take profit at 92 as well.
(2️⃣) If the bulls are real, this should not happen. Price was camped out NEAR here for 12 hours. CAUTION. But if it does, I will be watching. I prefer the deeper part of the path. This trade has the advantage of being nestled at the Daily Trend Line too.
(3️⃣) (4️⃣) We need a quick reaction here back above the BULL BEAR LINE at 6441… OR.. Watch out below?!?!?!? 31.50 is pivotal IMHO. 6441-6431 is the Bull Bear Zone.
(5️⃣) I would love this opportunity. The closer to the expected range, the better.
These trade ideas highlight high-probability reaction zones and are for educational purposes only. I am not a financial advisor, nor have I ever played one on TV. Nothing here should be taken as personalized trading advice. Always trade based on your own confirmation — these are simply one trader’s opinions.

Methodology
Methodology
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.
