MES MICROS BEST TRADE SETUPS Battle Plan Where To Go Long... Where To Go Short. TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES Battle Plan 1️⃣ MES Long If you were an international member or burning the midnight oil… this trade idea paid! On Zoom and YouTube this morning, we discussed that if you were long from Battle Plan 1️⃣, you want to hold a single runner no matter what. Then you got a tweet about a possible Iran and U.S. peace deal and the price skyrocketed above the Strong Level. On Zoom, we outlined take-profits and trailing stops... depending on which type of account you are trading. Core Principle: Once you're in a winning trade, you don't need to get into another one. I suggest you close your trading platform and hold your runner — especially when it's in the direction of "Who Controls". Core Principle: If a surprise move blasts ES in your direction, be sure to capture a part of the move! It is a gift. Battle Plan 1️⃣ MES S...

MES MICROS BEST TRADE SETUPS Battle Plan Where To Go Long... Where To Go Short. TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES Congrats Jacky... Passing 5 Evals in Two Trades Trading MES Micros On Zoom, Jacky posted..."Took that Strong Level bounce. Passed my 5 evals in 2 trades ty George!" Nice trading and congrats. Take a break/breather before trading the funded accounts. No rush. Slow and steady. Together We Trade Better. Go "Nowhere" ES Price Action Well, this AM, ES churned inside the week's Value Area High and Value Area Low — the Strong Level anchoring at the week's POC. What is that famous saying... Don't diddle in the middle! One of our traders articulated it perfectly.  Scott wrote, "It's amazing how often that's true. It takes so much less energy waiting for an edge than it does trying to trade the middle and hope it's finally the breakout. Spoiler alert, it never is.... 🙂" It reminds me...

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Don't Diddle in the Middle: Range Recognition and Counter-Trend Discipline in ES Futures Posted: Tuesday May 27, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Today's AM Briefing delivered a masterclass in one of the hardest disciplines in ES futures trading — knowing when you're not at an edge. The weekly POC at 5736.75 held court as the bull-bear line all session, and price never escaped the weekly value area… which meant one thing: not a great place to trade. George reviewed two ways to set Battle Plan alerts, walked through three surgical counter-trend short trades taken with small stops, and reinforced the core MES micro futures trade plan rule that keeps traders out of the deepest trouble when bulls control — "Bulls control. Shorts are counter. Small, if at all." With Core PCE hitting tomorrow morning, today's afternoon session called for patience, not aggression. Today's News Drivers & This Week's Calendar Two eve...

MES MICROS BEST TRADE SETUPS Battle Plan Where To Go Long... Where To Go Short. TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES Futures Trading the Day After a Long Holiday Weekend As warned, the day after a long holiday weekend rarely offers many opportunities. Note that today... or tag it as a "Special Day" in your journal. To me, the following chart sums it up. All over the place and hardly going anywhere. Extremely mixed indices create high-friction trading with little follow-through. Battle Plan 1️⃣ Battle Plan 1️⃣ delivered a few opportunities in the overnight session. I took the first opportunity to add to my long from Friday, capturing 50 points in total. On Zoom, we noted the possibility of a long for Battle Plan 1️⃣. The Strong Level had held so well overnight. Will it be able to perform again during RTH? If you want to trade a fresh level, you didn't take it. The entire goal of the Battle Plan is to seek the right trades in the r...
