George:
Hey — wrap up.

In this morning’s A.M. Briefing, I emphasized and reinforced an important point. Now, if you remember yesterday’s A.M. Briefing, I gave you the exact coordinates for the high and the low of this range — and look how beautifully the bottom of that range played out. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom — even into the last minute of the day. Retest, retest, retest.

I said it then and I’ll say it again: I wouldn’t be shorting this.
In fact, if you looked at the Battle Plan last night, you know there wasn’t a single mapped-out short. Not one. That play already played.

Now we’re back to looking for longs.

[Transition to Live Session]

Back to real-time, George here — what you’re about to watch is the live morning session we did on YouTube and Zoom. You’ll actually get to follow along with one of my traders, Jackie, who came to me as a brand-new trader and is now an established, accomplished trader himself.

He responded in real time to the price action callouts, got into a trade, and added to his position. I want you to listen and follow along as I outline the price action and the potential trade ideas that exist on the chart.

Of course, you are responsible for taking your own trades in your own account, your own way. But if you find this type of commentary helpful, consider joining MicrosTrader and trading live with us every morning on Zoom — so you can stay on the right side of price action.

[Live Commentary Segment]

If we come up against this trend line — it’s right at the halfback.
If we get a good move off this level, I’ll be looking to get long because we are down in the green area.

Let’s drop time frames.
Still not my favorite spot, but if we get a legitimate level long here, I’ve got to take it.

Back to the one-minute chart… are we going to ladder? Let’s take a look around.
I wish the Dow had grabbed the low if we were going to ladder back up, but it’s just sitting down here at POC — hanging around yesterday’s POC. Not a great place to trade, but it did have a nice bounce.

Okay, let’s see if we can push above this area.
When bulls are in control — and they’re strong — they don’t have to grab that liquidity. They often don’t. So be careful about requiring that. We’ll look for strength and a real level we can go long on.

And look at that NQ — the Dow’s having a monster bounce, NQ keeps pushing north.
If I were to go long, I’d prefer a pullback right into here, maybe one more time. If it pulls back in and you want to take the long, just have your stop under Sunday’s open.

As we said earlier — bulls are in control. Do not short this.

[Trade Execution Segment]

There’s the yellow circle from earlier — that was the long.
If you took that, you’re about to get a huge white candle any second…

There we go.

Don’t short this. Don’t short this. Don’t short this. Don’t short this.

You like that, Mario?
Yeah — the long there was the long.

Boom — right to 82.

Let’s see if it pushes a bit higher now. Nothing wrong with taking partials there, Jackie — if you had three contracts, take one off if you want. But I think it’s heading to our next target. What do I know, right?

If your stop is behind that strong level, Jackie, let it go go go.
This could turn into a great move — especially if we can break above the range.

If we can get over the range, I want you to add at 95. If it breaks 95, add.

[Breakout Segment]

All right — get up there for Jackie.
Now you’ve got everything on your side. The biggest magnet to the north is only seven points away. We broke out of range.

Jackie added at 95, just as pre-planned earlier today. It finally got there — touch and go.

That P&L is looking juicy — make sure you take a screenshot!

[Closing Remarks]

We were on the right side of it. We weren’t trying to short it again and again.
We were on the right side of price action — and that’s the game.

If we can consistently identify the right trades, on the right side of price action — week after week, month after month, year after year — we’re going to do great.

Be on the lookout for the next set of entries tonight at MicrosTrader.com under Battle Plan.

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.
