Best ES Setup for MES Micros Traders

Today's Review OVERVIEW Small Opening Range We had one of the smallest opening ranges in recent memory. Usually only one thing saves it from being a disgusting slop and chop day... a news event! Small range alert turned into a large range day... and that is very, very rare. It took a news catalyst to do it. MES got the catalyst it needed. And up we go.  Offering a beautiful entry for Battle Plan 1️⃣.  Last night I wrote for Battle Plan 1️⃣, "If the break above this level. This could represent a continuation long… With an outside target of 6902." The take profit upside target was definitely aggressive, sixty points away from the ideal trade location.  See the video above on the discussion about take profits.  My first recommended take profit was at 30 points.  ☀️ RTH Zoom Nothing!

Today's MES micro futures trade plan leaned hard on one principle: if it gives you the setup, take it small. If it doesn't, walk. Session Context: Pre-CPI Thursday, Small Range Alert The news drivers for Thursday had already printed before the open — PCE and GDP were in the books.

Today's Review OVERVIEW HOLD THAT RUNNEr In last night's Battle Plan I wrote, "The proper play here is... if you are already long stay long… or stay flat." (Re-worded for clarity.) That was true.  Behold the power of a single runner.  1 Micro.  1 Trade.  21 hours later. 🔥 247 points captured.  If you did not catch the trade review during the AM Briefing ... I highly recommend it.  Battle Plan We were no where near a Battle Plan trade idea. Without outlined Battle Plan trades. It was time for our advanced scalping system... and live price action calling.  Strong Levels Beautiful Strong Levels today.  ☀️ RTH Zoom On Zoom, we outlined this trade that had a beautiful forty-point move.  We mapped out this trade well before price arrived at the Asia overnight low.  I provided entry levels between 92 and 88 for those who wanted a first ladder long. It paid!  🔥 40+ points. Congratulations to the tra...
