A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Setups:
Two Battle Plans… Two Great Entries!
Asia Session: Battle Plan (2️⃣) worked well for those who took it. It outlined perfectly. Just a reminder… be sure to read the notes on all trade ideas. See the first chart below.
My Entry: Around 8:30PM CST…. I went long 3 contracts at 6731. Took 1 contract off at 10 points. Then we got another push-up on some news. I moved the stop on the second contract to capture 10 points on any pullback. I placed the stop loss on the lotto runner at -5 points. This ensures a 15-point trade. 10 points + 10 points – 5 points = 15 points.
Now… let it work! Maybe we can break back inside the range and run.
9:06 PM CST: Time for bed.
4:45 AM CST: 2nd contract taken out overnight for 10 points. So far, 20 points captured. Lotto runner remains 5 points behind the point of entry. Nothing to do but hold the runner. This lotto runner was taken out in the London Session. No big deal, we wait for a new entry!
AM TRADING: Nothing easy. Price was ‘just not ready’ to stay inside the range. It kept rejecting, but the bulls kept coming back! They eventually won. We called a speculative short near the Strong Level/Range for a quick profit. I took a long off the opening which was a beautiful touch and go. I took 10 points profit on this trade.
Battle Plan (1️⃣) was the focus of our AM Trading. This trade idea was based on price recapturing the range and laddering above – we love trading range rules – laddering back to the TOP of the RANGE and perhaps… maybe.. breaking out to ATH leading the way to 6830. We shall see.
The entry was not til around NY Lunch. Although I tried multiple times in the AM to be long, price was just not ready!.Eventually ES gapped over the 6760 Strong Level nicely with a crisp, clear, clean entry long! The best gap over was 11:50AM EST.
I took a long at 6761 and added one contract on that up move. I eventually trailed out of the add-on, locking in profits, while keeping a lotto runner to see how far the move could go.
Target is ATH and then 6830. We shall see. Can ES do it?
TARGET ALMOST HIT!

TRADE OF THE DAY
Battle Plan (1️⃣) and (2️⃣) were equally good trades. 10-20 points depending on management

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.
