Today's Review OVERVIEW Your browser does not support the audio element. Battle Plans This is becoming a banner week for Battle Plans trade ideas... and holding your runners! The bad thing about the Battle Plans this week is... most activated when people in the United States were staring at the back of their eyelids, sleeping.  Tis the season, I guess.  Battle Plan 3️⃣  Battle Plan 3️⃣ was the first Battle Plan to activate.  It had a seven-point move.  No follow through because of an Iranian news event creating a rare 20-point candle in the maintenance period.  A small green or break-even trade.  The key was to be a professional trader and not let the trade go against you.  We take break-even trades and we take small losses.  The goal is small losses, small wins, and big wins, but never ever large losses.  Large losses are created , not designed.  Battle Plan 2️⃣  Battle Plan 2️⃣ was the next...

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Patience Near All-Time Highs: When Bulls Control, the Best Trade Is Often No Trade Posted: Monday May 5, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Monday's ES futures morning briefing arrived on a milestone day — tonight, Battle Plan 300 drops. NQ grabbed a new all-time high overnight, Russell pushed to its own, and ES laddered steadily upward... all four indices above upward-slanting VWAPs.

ES Trade Plan

Today's Review OVERVIEW Your browser does not support the audio element. Morning "Bulls control... shorts are counter... small, if at all." I kept saying that over and over. There was only one possible trade we talked about, and that was on the first back test of the VWAP and the opening price to go long.  You had to survive a triple tap to make anything worthwhile.  This trade would not have hurt you, but follow-through was weak. When you consider the mixed indices, it makes sense. Hard to make anything more than a scalp when NQ is going north and YM going south... ES is usually stuck.  Not to mention... wacky price action from war news... with 15-20 point "insta-candles". This dramatically increased the risk of entry today. Just another boring Monday.  Luckily, for me, I was short from Friday with nothing to do - just watch and hold. Shout Out 🔥 Monster shout out to one of our traders Justin... who netted 60 "ES" points o...
