50+ Point Short | ES Chart | Tuesday Live Trade Room

Image
Today's Review OVERVIEW 50+ Pointer  Yesterday's price action suggested ES could be establishing a new trading range, so I mapped out two possible short ideas using the "Proposed Range". In fact on Zoom I called it the "proposed range" because until we can test the bottom and come back inside. It's not an official range... according to little ole me.  Live on Zoom and YouTube this AM, we had our eyeballs on Battle Plan 4️⃣ as a possible short entry... With the ultimate goal of traveling to the opposite end of the "proposed range".  On Zoom, I laid out exactly what I was looking for...  "I want ES to fail to grab the overnight high and slam back under the open and VWAP. At that point I'd be up 20 points from Friday's short and will look to add to my trade" Although price did not slam under the opening and VWAP, it did get under the opening and VWAP.

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Gap Down, Ladder Back — Following Price When Bulls Control Posted: Monday April 20, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Trader Lesson 1 Gap down ladder backs are absolutely beautiful scenarios.

Today's Review OVERVIEW SPX & SPY ATH Still zero pullbacks… As we sprinted right into a new SPX/SPY all-time high! Always use the cash market in front of the futures market when determining all-time highs! Wow… What a move. My absolute least favorite place to trade is at all-time highs. How do you short at an all-time high??? How do you initiate a long at an all-time high??? Once again, I am in Stand Down mode. It's really the absolute best. Stand Down For two days, I have begged traders to stand down. Pretty good advice, it seems. Not every day is a trade day… no matter what some gurus on Twitter might tell you! Yes Yes, it can keep going up and up and up defying ALL 'logic'. Countering when bulls control is a losing system… not one we play! This week's market crushed the hearts of every short seller who kept shorting on the way up. 🔥 Believe it or not, retail short selling helps propel the market higher and higher, because they ha...
