A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Setups:

A MONSTER week for the Battle Plan. 

Battle Plan 1️⃣ had an aggressive target…82 points away. 

Price got within 4 points of the target. We’ll use a golf term here… I’ll take a Mulligan.

I took the Battle Plan 1️⃣ short around 2AM…price ran 15 points. Made small — the story of my day. At 50% size, that’s 7 points. A winner is a winner. Smalls add up.

Additional short entries were difficult – we gave a risky short trade idea around the 65 level. Price dropped 50 points. I recommended taking profit at Battle Plan (2️⃣) location capturing 40-points. A very nice Take Profit location! 

Had one kept a single runner back on the 6865 short trade idea called on Zoom, they could have had a near 85-pointer.

▶️ You never know which entry will run and run and run. That is why you should always strive to hold a runner… just in case. Close your platform and walk – your trade no longer needs you.

I am so pleased with these mappings. We were looking for the right trade in the right trade locations. The Day Before NFP just makes entry difficult!

A few hours later, price finally dropped in Battle Plan (3️⃣). 

I took a small positional long on the first ladder…captured a quick 10-pointer. First ladders can be dangerous, but we’re at the bottom of the range… worth the chance IMHO. Was quick to “Take Profit” and wait for a new entry.

💡 When you have built-in points from a profitable day/week, you can take a chance on entries like this…at GREAT trade locations.

I took another positional long at Battle Plan (3️⃣). I took a little heat.. then it popped!

▶️ ▶️ ▶️ If I hadn’t been sitting on 120 points from my long earlier this week, I wouldn’t have taken this trade…sometimes built-in points allow you to be a little more aggressive.

Once again, if we continue looking for the right trades in the right trade locations, the odds of our success dramatically increase.

Impact: ★★★  High Impact — Expect increased volatility Source: Investing.com
⚡ Special Edition: NFP Friday — Non-Farm Payrolls
The Non-Farm Payrolls report is the most closely watched U.S. labor market release, published on the first Friday of each month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. It tracks net job creation across the U.S. economy and is a primary input for Federal Reserve policy decisions. Five high-impact releases hit simultaneously at 8:30 AM ET, including Payrolls, Unemployment Rate, Average Hourly Earnings, and Retail Sales — making this one of the highest-volatility opens of the month.

📋 Detailed View
🇺🇸 ★★★ 8:30 AM ET
Nonfarm Payrolls (Feb)
Forecast58K
Previous130K
Trend↓ Slowing Jobs

Nonfarm Payrolls measures the net number of jobs added across the U.S. economy — excluding farm workers, private household employees, and nonprofit organization employees — during the prior month. It is one of the most market-moving releases on the calendar and a key input for Federal Reserve monetary policy decisions. February’s forecast of 58K is sharply below January’s 130K reading, signaling a notable deceleration in hiring activity.

🇺🇸 ★★★ 8:30 AM ET
Unemployment Rate (Feb)
Forecast4.3%
Previous4.3%
Trend→ Unchanged

The Unemployment Rate measures the percentage of the total labor force that is jobless and actively seeking employment. It is released alongside Nonfarm Payrolls as part of the Bureau of Labor Statistics monthly jobs report. February’s forecast holds steady at 4.3%, matching the prior month, suggesting no significant shift in the broader labor market participation picture.

🇺🇸 ★★★ 8:30 AM ET
Average Hourly Earnings MoM (Feb)
Forecast0.3%
Previous0.4%
Trend↓ Cooling Wages

Average Hourly Earnings (MoM) tracks the month-over-month change in wages paid to private-sector employees and serves as a key gauge of inflationary pressure from the labor market. Wage growth feeds directly into consumer spending and the Fed’s inflation outlook. February’s forecast of 0.3% is slightly below January’s 0.4%, pointing to a modest easing in wage inflation.

🇺🇸 ★★★ 8:30 AM ET
Retail Sales MoM (Jan)
Forecast-0.3%
Previous0.0%
Trend↓ Contracting

Retail Sales (MoM) measures the total value of goods sold at the retail level during the prior month and is one of the most direct reads on consumer spending, which drives roughly two-thirds of U.S. economic activity. January’s forecast of -0.3% marks a pullback from the flat 0.0% prior reading, suggesting consumers may have pulled back on spending to open the year.

🇺🇸 ★★★ 8:30 AM ET
Core Retail Sales MoM (Jan)
Forecast0.1%
Previous0.0%
Trend↑ Slight Pickup

Core Retail Sales (MoM) excludes automobile sales from the headline figure, providing a cleaner view of underlying consumer demand that is less distorted by large one-time purchases. January’s forecast of 0.1% edges above the prior flat reading of 0.0%, indicating a marginal improvement in core consumer activity even as the broader retail number contracts.

Level 10.

Protect yourself from yourself! 

Nothing else to say. 

There is absolutely nothing near here that I am interested in. If tomorrow was not non-farm payroll, I would hold my runner, but I am flat. 

My next trade considerations are much further away.

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.
