MES MICROS TRADE PLAN
☀️ TODAY’S REVIEW:
Free Access
A Recap of Today’s Price Action & Setups:
CPI WATCH PARTY:
We were live on YouTube.
Battle Plan (1️⃣) & (2️⃣) for the win!
CPI DAY – a “No Trade” is the preferred trade here – IMHO. Flat is a position! Always dial it down and trade smaller on days like CPI.
RTH:
We continued to hold the short while dropping to the “A” period single prints. We outlined the scenarios…. where to take profit and why.
CPI DAY… GREEN > GREED! Take your profit and walk.
If you can look for the right trades in the right trade locations, you will do well!
Price action died at our quitting time – how ironic. I stop trading when I do for a REASON.
After Lunch: My eyeballs turned to Battle Plan (3️⃣) below.
In general, CPI gave a short early on and a long mid-morning and then NOTHING.
The end of the day had a POWER MOVE off the Strong Range! If you are a on your 7-Day Trial, make sure you request access to the Strong Levels – you are missing out.
TIP OF THE DAY
This was Sunday’s “Tip of the Day”. Let’s keep it for this entire week!
It’s that important and worthy of your consideration.
What If…
You committed to ONE discipline
for the next 30 days?
Pick your challenge.
Master your mind.
After a loss, take a mandatory 15-30 minute break… go for a walk around the block, do pushups/situps.
Trade ONE setup ONLY for the next 30 days. That setup… period, end of story. Nothing else!
Trade longs (or shorts) ONLY for 30 days. Master one direction before trading both.
Take one trade per day MAX for the next 30 days. Make it count.
No moving your stop for 6 minutes after entry. Trust your plan.
Replay EVERY trade you took every weekend. Study what worked and what didn’t.
Take a 15-30 minute break if you missed an entry. Reset before the next opportunity.
Keep your DOM closed until a clear level develops, then journal the trade setup with screenshots BEFORE you launch your DOM.
Mandatory one week off if you over-leveraged or tilt traded even once. No exceptions.
Actually journal every day for 30 days (throughout the day as recommended). Build the habit.
Upload your CSV files to Trade Tracker (or ChatGPT) and analyze last month’s (last year’s) trading. Let the numbers tell the truth.
Close your platform when in a runner and WALK AWAY. Let the trade work.
Use the chat box below to share your own discipline challenge!
TRADE OF THE DAY
BATTLE PLAN:
Battle Plan (1️⃣) Short. 30-40 points. I captured 30-pointer live on YouTube. Note, with a lotto runner, you could STILL be short. We will monitor for continuation.
Battle Plan (2️⃣) Long went 10 points. For the scoreboard, I will declare it netted 5 points.
ZOOM:
We nailed price action today… when to be short and when to be long. Being on the right side of the price action pays! Well done traders.
We covered Battle Plan (1️⃣) and (2️⃣). Nice trades!
CORE STRATEGY: (For Full Members)
3M FS Long. 10+ Points.

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.
