🏆 Battle Plan Hall of Fame
🔥 130+ Pointer for Battle Plan 5️⃣ from Tuesday/Wednesday Battle Plan.
For those trading a cash account or retirement account who can hold a lotto runner overnight… you got paid big time. You had to be up early Wednesday morning to get into the Battle Plan 5️⃣ trade.
In last night's Battle Plan, I wrote about placing your stop behind the apex of Battle Plan 3️⃣… the perfect stop placement for this ES trade idea.
Hold Dat Runner: Learning to hold lotto runners can be the most profitable skill a trader can learn. They are the easiest points you will ever make.
We tend to have one or two Battle Plan trades a week that go 100 points. Here's to looking for the right trades in the right trade locations.
🔥 30-100-Point Runner Battle Plan 3️⃣
For those up late last night… if you survived a double tap OR traded the APEX of this trade, an intra-day 100-pointer was possible. This is worth seeing on your own chart.
For those who took the trade and snagged your profit at the outlined target, a nice 30-pointer.
Very nice trade!
Yes. Dipped its toe into the drop zone and exploded out of there.
These are my favorite types of trades… holding a lotto runner is very easy.
We made it to the outlined target without much fanfare.
If you chose to exit all of your contracts and call the day done, congratulations.
If you held that lotto runner playing perfect chess… welcome to the club.
You were long all day.
Today's main guideline… "Do Not Short This"… repeated over and over. My goal is to keep you on the right side of price action.
This trade has been sitting as our preferred setup for days and days.
Talk about a perfect bounce off the apex and the beautiful ladder as outlined in the Battle Plan mapping.
I missed this morning's 20-point long… I was long for this one at 22… along with other futures traders in my ES Live Trading Room.
Last night, the apex of Battle Plan 3️⃣ paid very well.
20-Point Move from the apex trade location.
This trade was dissected during the AM Briefing.(Time-Stamped Link)
2nd Look: After a new overnight low... You were presented with a second opportunity for this trade. The MES trade idea took less than two points of heat and reached the 25-point target.
Congrats to the traders who took advantage of this trade. Close DOM. Call it good.
We traded this live. See the video above.
On Zoom we got an earlier entry than the Battle Plan mapping.
🔥 20+ Point Long for Battle Plan 1️⃣
Price almost made it to the mapped out target… a few points shy. We also outlined 7780 as the "get up there" second target. ES came up 25 points shy of it. August is not known as the "follow-through" month.
Yes, it's still triple-tapping every single entry. Not the easiest trading conditions, but we saw price well and traded in the correct direction.
If you can trade in the correct direction, staying on the right side of price action often enough, the odds of your success dramatically improve. That is the entire purpose of the Battle Plan in the live trading room on Zoom and YouTube.
In the final stretch of our trading, we tested the Bull Bear line once again.
First Ladders Are The Most Dangerous:
The first bounce off a level is the most dangerous entry on the chart.
Let the second ladder confirm the move… then commit.

🔥 30-point Battle Plan 3️⃣ ES Long Setup
If you're an international member or burnt the midnight oil, this was a beautiful trade.
Congratulations to Charles, who captured 25-points on this Battle Plan trade idea. He said he was packing for his week-long vacation. Now that's a great way to start out a vacation. Have fun, Charles… and thanks for sharing your great trade with the group.
If you were long from the Battle Plan 3️⃣ long... could you have added to your winning trade at Battle Plan 2️⃣... Why yes!
In fact, Battle Plan 2️⃣ notes suggested it... "Add-on long location."
See the chart below.
Your add-on contract could have made an additional 10 points. Not too shabby!
🔥 As a core philosophy, we're always looking to add to our winning trades.
🔥 20-point Battle Plan 3️⃣ Long
Instead of a traditional AM Briefing, we traded live during the AM Briefing.
We dropped into Battle Plan 3️⃣. We're watching for ES and YM confluence. We got the turnaround trade and went long.
That's about as pretty as an ES long setup can be.
This entry provided two different opportunities.
For full members.... the second opportunity corresponded with Core Strategy balance levels.
Heck, Battle Plan 3️⃣ even provided a third opportunity later, but man, the first time is the best time. The second is a little more questionable. The third time, well, good luck. By the time price presented the third look, this particular level was tested over and over and over. The higher odds are the level will fail versus bounce.
In this case, it happened to bounce after camping out for a long period of time. This level is losing its power.
And lost it we did...
My eyeballs are now on Battle Plan 4️⃣ and Battle Plan 5️⃣.
