How To Trade The Turnaround on ES

☀️ TODAY’S REVIEW:
Free Access

A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Setups:

What a beautiful day of gorgeous price action! 

We traded the turnaround, stayed focused on longs instead of fighting for shorts, and held runners just like we talked about. This is how it’s supposed to work!

Multiple entries for 40, 40, 50, 60, 80+ pointers! All you needed was ONE of the them!

LONDON SESSION: Battle Plan (3️⃣) presented a long opportunity this AM in the London Session with near-zero heat… as mapped out last night. 

RTH SESSION: On Zoom, we mapped out a potential short and “turn-around” long at the WATCH OUT BELOW Strong Range. See the video above!

I wanted the short (very badly). Instead, we got the long and it paid handsomely. Price ripped 50 points from entry to our designated Take Profit target at 6900 – culminating in a beautiful 50-point runner!

Battle Plan Playbook:

Bulls Control

And THIS is the TYPE OF MOVE the Battle Plan is DESIGNED to catch!!!

This move is exactly why I spend so much time teaching traders to HOLD A RUNNER and WAIT FOR YOUR TRADE!

Think of it like a football playbook – every play is designed to be a touchdown. Not every play ends that way, but that’s always the goal! 

Once we got long, I cautioned traders… multiple times… “Do Not Short This!“.  I advised to “Take Profit” at the WATCH OUT BELOW Strong Range. Two traders that I know of, took heed, captured a profit on their shorts from the opening and resisted shorting again. 

For many traders, shorting becomes an addiction that causes dangerous tunnel vision! I see this over and over. They want that HIT again! Tunnel vision locked – trading as a group certainly helps! 

Mario said, “You saved my PNL. After two solid shorts – one overnight and one just after the opening – I could only see the downside for the market. But having followed George on his Zoom calls for a while now, when he saw a potential turn to the upside, I stopped hoping and accepted reality. Thank you for saving my profits!”

Congrats, Mario. Tunnel vision snapped. Disaster avoided.

It is true… Together Trade Better! 

And… you’re welcome, Mario!

Today, once again, we focused on trading at the right locations, looking for the right trade for the right reasons! Although it missed my long by TWO TICKS (just call me Mr. Two Ticks!), I’m proud of the multitude of traders who nailed the entry – Congrats!

THE KEY: Knowing exactly where you want to engage with price is MOST of the battle. The rest? WAITING! That’s the entire purpose of the Battle Plan.

My goal is that it brings calm and clarity to your trading. When we know where to expect reactions, we can pair that knowledge with our Core Strategy for precise entries. It’s a perfect marriage.

Yesterday, ES moved 77 points to take last week’s high, dropped 90+ points overnight (nearly taking out last week’s low), then ripped back up to take yesterday’s high!

I promised Level 10 conditions, right?

Last Night Battle Plan

FUN FACT: Both Battle Plan(3️⃣) and our mapped out long on Zoom was the SAME EXACT entry against our Strong Range! 

LESSON OF THE DAY: Hold that runner!

ES Emini Trade Of The DayTRADE OF THE DAY

BATTLE PLAN:

Battle Plan (3️⃣) as discussed above. 30 Pointer.

ZOOM:

Two longs called. If you held a runner, you could have had a 70-pointer. 30 pointer, worst case. Not too shabby.

If you were in a cash account, you could STILL be long! 

CORE STRATEGY:For our Core Strategy Traders

▶️ Overnight, you could have had a 60+ point runner short with a 3M FS FVG short. 

▶️ A 3M Break Level long at Bull Bear line. 

▶️ A 3M FS FVG for a 40 pointer! 

NOTE: In the right account, you could STILL be long holding a runner!

Methodology

Methodology

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.
