MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Posted: Friday March 13, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING This Friday the 13th morning briefing covered an unusually volatile trading environment with challenging conditions expected to continue. The session highlighted multiple successful battle plan trades that executed overnight for international members, while warning about the particularly difficult price action expected during contract rollover week. With PCE data driving early morning volatility and quad witching OPEX approaching next week, traders were advised to exercise extra caution during what was described as "Friday on steroids."

READ THE FULL BATTLE PLAN HERE A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups: OVERNIGHT : 🔥 Battle Plan (1️⃣) for 10-30 points last night.  Battle Plan (1️⃣) played out three times before RTH Open.  I took the first setup last night and captured 14 points total.  The second time.. around midnight... ES ran 60 points. The overnight session had very clean entry opportunities, and I contrast that with how difficult it was to get entry in the RTH session.  RTH AM TRADING: If you were with us on the YouTube live stream or Zoom today, the first thing you saw when you popped on was the sign...  Range Rules Rule ! Range Rules Rule .. yet again today!  Battle Plan (1️⃣) for the win again... but entry was crazy difficult, and the target seemed fair away. The slow grind of death continued.  Then.... after nodding off twice at the keyboard... ES did it! Target hit!    70+ point move from mapped entry location. See the chart belo...
