Monday August 4, 2025

As written in last night’s Battle Plan:
After a tremendous sell off, back down into the well defined range… We are at the bottom of that range. As long as we are in the GREEN AREA of that range, I lean long here.
Long was right.
100 POINT RUNNER:
Our first mapped-out Battle Plan long of the week delivered a 100+ point runner … if you held onto a risk-free βpaid for / financedβ runner. What a way to kick off the week. Congrats!
From the go… we knew our target early with eyes on longs to reach it. As posted at the opening in Discord.
π― TARGET HIT!
Our group also got long off recapturing Friday’s “IB High” targeting the Thursday gap fill. Several of you did very well on that entry too – congrats.
Then we tap danced with the strong range (see image below) and finally ‘filled the gap’ and creating a delightfully profitable Battle Plan long.
All you had to do today was be patient and be long – it paid handsomely. Congrats to all long traders today, you were on the right side of price action today. Let’s do it again tomorrow.
PERFECT CHESS:
KEY IDEA:
If you are in a cash account, play perfect chess with your runner! There is nothing else do but to follow up your stop and SEEK to ADD to your WINNING TRADE. This could be a multi-day swing trade – who knows. Just play perfect chess with no bias.
RISK FREE RUNNER “ADD ON”:
On this AM Zoom, we called out a beautiful Core Strategy entry to add to your Battle Plan Trade (or to initiate a trade if you missed the IB High reclaim long). It was a perfect touch-n-go entry – our favorite. This add-on was RISK-FREE. Why? Because you are ALREADY in a winning trade with a “financed” runner. You can’t get hurt when adding to your winning trade while up 70 points.
KEY IDEA:
Adding “Risk Free” contracts to a winning trade is very powerful and a core trading principle in our group. Congrats to the traders who added to their winning trade!
THE EASY TRADE TODAY:
This morning was strictly βLongs Only.β No short setups even came close to triggering. Staying long was the clear and easy trade.
Plenty of traders should be recording a nice green day with 1 or 2 entries max today. Not a lot of trading, just a lot of sitting – the way trading was meant to be.
KEY IDEA:
βIt was never my thinking that made the big money for me. It was always my sitting.ββ Jesse Livermore, as quoted in Reminiscences of a Stock Operator
LONGING IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES:
We were longing in the right trade locations on the chart again today! Thatβs half the battle β knowing exactly where you want to engage with price. In fact, thatβs the entire purpose of the Battle Plan. My hope is that it brings calm & clarity to the chart, because we know precisely where to expect reactions and can pair that with our Core Strategy for entry. A perfect marriage.

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 β 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 way. Entries may occur at anytime.
- 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.
