REMINDERS:

At the beginning of each month, I plan to provide some basic reminders for NEW TRADERS to our group.

What is the difference between the Battle Plan and Core Strategy? 

This was a question from a prospective member this weekend – Thanks Kevin!

Battle Plan: 

Outlines the zones where we’d ideally look for long and short opportunities. Think of the Battle Plan like painting with a broad brush on canvas… the way you’d start an oil painting. These zones represent the major structures of your composition: the buildings, the mountains, the foundational elements that give shape to the larger picture. Use the Strong Levels Tradinview Indicator and the NOTES to help with entry. 

The Strong Levels is a TradingView indicator updated each Sunday. These levels represent the most important levels for the week. We craft our Battle Plan trades around these levels, coupled with current price action. 

The Strong Levels and Battle Plan work hand-in-hand. One without the other is futile in-my-humble-opinion. 

Core Strategy: 

This is our scalping system, typically executed on a 3-minute chart. We identify three primary “bounce levels” based on the chart’s structure, then scalp the bounces off these levels. Core Strategy is essentially an entry system, while our 3-Contract System handles trade management. Both are taught at the Gold Level and reinforced daily in Discord and on Zoom.

You can wait for price to reach the Battle Plan zones, then use Core Strategy as your entry trigger… combined with the NOTES from the Battle Plan. However, you don’t need to know Core Strategy to profit from the Battle Plan. They work together beautifully, but they also stand alone.

Zoom: 

The purpose of zoom to is to discuss trade ideas for BOTH the Battle Plan and Core Strategy. We discuss the macro and the micro. We outline precisions entries and exit ideas live Monday-Friday. 

Battle Plan vs. Core Strategy: Understanding the Difference

Battle Plan is your big-picture roadmap. It identifies major support and resistance zones where high-probability trading opportunities are likely to develop. Think broad brushstrokes… the structural framework of your trading day. It tells you where to look for trades. You can trade the Battle Plan without any other system simply by watching how price behaves at these key zones and reading the NOTES for each trade idea. 

Core Strategy is your precision entry system. It works on a granular level (3-minute charts) and gives you specific bounce levels based on current market structure. It tells you exactly when to enter a trade by scalping bounces off these identified levels. Core Strategy includes our 3-Contract System for trade management, making it a complete scalping framework.

How They Work Together:

▶️ Battle Plan provides the zones (the “where”) 

▶️ Core Strategy provides the entry trigger (the “when”) 

▶️ You can use Battle Plan alone and still profit 

▶️ You can combine them: wait for price to reach a Battle Plan zone, then use Core Strategy for your precise entry 

▶️ Core Strategy can also be used independently for intraday scalping opportunities

The Key Distinction: Battle Plan = strategic positioning (macro view) Core Strategy = tactical execution (micro view)
