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...

MES MICROS BEST TRADE SETUPS Battle Plan Where To Go Long... Where To Go Short. TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES 7-Day Trial Members If you are on the 7-day trial or going to start your 7-day trial, you will notice there is a brand new dashboard for trial members. Although you are not required to, I would encourage you to request access to the Strong Levels indicator and the Battle Plan indicator. I couldn't have made it any easier. When you log in, you should now be taken directly to the new Trial Member Dashboard. S&P Futures Traders Need Breaks, Too. On Friday, the Tip of the Day encouraged you to take a true four-day weekend. I, for one, did not even sit down at my computer Saturday nor Sunday. I made a couple quick posts in Discord through my phone, which I only touched to post this weekend. I tried to do a complete technology break because it's refreshing. I even broke my 91-day WisprFlow streak! My advice… When you need t...

MES MICROS BEST TRADE SETUPS Battle Plan Where To Go Long... Where To Go Short. TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES NVDA NVDA did not provide the 100+ point candle spark that it was expected to make. Therefore, no Battle Plan trades activated... as they were further away. Thus, we relied on Core Strategy and our 1,010+ (Yes, One Thousand and Ten) Zoom sessions looking for high-probability trades... live... as the candles develop in realtime. How We Traded MES Micros Today See the recap video above. As outlined in the video above, while editing the video,  I went long at 52 on the breakout/restest. You see, in the morning Zoom session, we outlined… several times… that IF price ripped above the range, that the back test of the range was a long, ultimately targeting 70 to 79. Of course, the breakout occurred during the New York lunch break… Sometimes trades happen when you aren't at the charts. Luckily, I was editing the review video whil...

30-Point ES Short Setup

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Patience Paid: How Waiting for Fresh Levels Delivered a 20-Point Short Posted: Monday May 19, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Monday's AM Briefing was a masterclass in patience, level reading, and knowing when to stand down. The ES MES micro futures market opened directly into the drop zone — but the Bull Bear Line had been beaten up for two sessions straight, and George refused to force a trade in stale territory. When the short finally set up from the strong range, it executed cleanly to target. The session produced three journalable setups, a live 20-point short called in real time, and some of the sharpest futures trading psychology coaching of the week — proof that keeping you on the right side of price action matters more than finding an entry every day. Community Spotlight — Together We Trade Better The session opened with two stories that sum up why this group works. Scott asked Laxmi in Discord: "Were you able to keep your p...
