MES MICROS TRADE PLAN NFP Eve, Six-Point Stops, and Finding Your Piece of the System Posted: Wednesday June 04, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Today is the day before Non-Farm Payroll — a session that demands awareness, not aggression. This morning's AM Briefing delivered some of the most foundational ES futures trading education in recent memory: a deep dive into the six-point stop-loss standard, a visual stop-loss box tool you can put on your chart today, and a sharp recap of last night's Battle Plan 3 short that moved beautifully off a pre-mapped level. The big theme: your MES micro futures trade plan is a subset of the full system — find your piece of the pie, define it clearly, and trade that with discipline. If you took the overnight short and already closed it... you do not need to trade today. Today Is NFP Eve — Tag It and Track It Tomorrow is Non-Farm Payroll. That makes today a special session — not because of what will happen, but because of wha...

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Trade Short in a Bull Market — The 50% Rule That Keeps Your Profits Posted: Wednesday June 3, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING ES micro futures are in a pressure cooker... sitting in upper distribution all night, Dow and NQ hit all-time highs while ES technically had an inside day. The explosion is coming — we just don't know which way. Wednesday's session built on three consecutive short entries from the same level and delivered one of the clearest lessons in the S&P 500 futures playbook: when bulls control and you're trading counter-trend, the 50% capture rule is not a weakness — it's survival. This MES micro futures trade plan covers how to read whether a news-driven drop has real conviction, what the 15-Point Candle Rule tells you before you ever place a trade, and why staying committed to your decision is the hardest and most important discipline a futures trader can develop. Market Setup: Pressure Cooker at Upper Distribu...

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Small Range Alert, the Knife Catching Warning, and Why Trade Location Always Wins Posted: Tuesday June 02, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Tuesday's ES futures morning briefing opened with a full review of Monday's high-energy session — a London short, a Battle Plan long that paid 40-plus points on Trump/Iran news, and an overnight positional short George was still holding heading into the RTH open. The morning's biggest lesson wasn't which trade to take — it was knowing when to stand back. A Small Range Alert fired early in the RTH session, a signal that historically means 95-plus percent of the time the rest of the day isn't worth trading. George also issued his most urgent warning of the week: if ES starts printing 15-plus-point candles to the south, step back, hold your hands, and let price settle. No hero trades. No knife catching. Every MES micro futures trader needs to be mentally prepared before that day arrives — because...
