Image
Battle Plan · SITREP Report · Free Course · Trading Library Become A Member Contract rollover, OPEX Fridays, triple witching, thin holiday weeks, and weak Mondays… the days that trade nothing like the others. From the free MicrosTrader Trading Library … 140 lessons mined from 1,042 live ES and MES futures sessions taught since 2018. The calendar moves markets. Certain days trade nothing like a normal session. Contract rollover weeks turn squirrelly. OPEX and triple witching Fridays whipsaw. Holiday weeks go thin and untradeable. Mondays start slow. A futures day trader who reads the calendar knows when to press and when to Stand Down, long before the ES E-mini futures even open.

Battle Plan · SITREP Report · Free Course · Trading Library Become A Member Every support and resistance level holds a finite number of bounces… beat it up enough and the ground gives way. From the free MicrosTrader Trading Library … 140 lessons mined from 1,042 live ES and MES futures sessions taught since 2018. Bounce Power is the finite energy stored in a support or resistance level. Every time price tests a level and reacts, it spends a little of that stored power. Beat the level up enough times and it eventually breaks. That's why a fresh, untested level bounces hard and a level that has been hammered all day and all night finally gives out. This page collects everything George teaches about Bounce Power across hundreds of hours of live ES E-mini futures and MES micro futures trading… why the first reaction off a level is the strongest, how repeated tests soften the ground, why volume marks the traders defending price, and the honest limit of it all. No level is a ...
