☀️ AM BRIEFING This session provided a comprehensive demonstration of the new Battle Plan Buddy app features while monitoring the CPI release, which proved to be a non-event that barely moved the ES futures market. The focus was heavily on app testing and recent battle plan trade performance, with the economic data producing no meaningful price action despite expectations.

Key features tested included: News Event Notifications: The app flashes red when news events approach, with customizable countdown timers at 15, 10, and 5-minute intervals.

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...

☀️ AM BRIEFING The day before CPI brought high volatility and challenging trading conditions following a massive gap down and subsequent squeeze. After multiple battle plan trades hit yesterday with potential for 100-200 point runners, the market has settled back into a high timeframe range with diminished setup quality. The session emphasizes disciplined trade selection and runner management while warning that only low-probability setups remain after the major moves have already played out. Market Environment Assessment The trading environment presents significant challenges as the pre-CPI session unfolds. Key market characteristics include: High Volatility Warning: Described as a "level 10 week of level 10 weeks" where most traders should consider not trading unless they can be perfect. Post-Move Environment: Following yesterday's monster gap down and Trump tweet-driven squeeze, the major directional moves have already occurred. Range-Bound Action: Marke...
