ES Mini | MES Micro Futures Trading Strategy & S&P Trading Room

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Posted: Tuesday February 24, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING The session opened with a measured, patient tone as the market continues to work within a multi-week range without generating a clear directional conviction. Yesterday printed a textbook B-shape liquidation day, and overnight price action settled quietly in the lower distribution of that range — producing zero activated Battle Plan trades. Today's primary focus is a developing trend line with a key level near 5868.17 ES, where a confluence of technical factors could set up a high-probability long entry if price digs deeper into the green zone. The broader multi-index picture confirms the bearish lean: all four major index futures — Russell, Dow, NQ, and ES — registered lower lows, though sellers have not pressed the move aggressively. Traders are advised to exercise patience, watch for a confirmed second touch of the developing trend line, and let the setup come to them. 📖 Opening De...

Read the FULL Battle Plan A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups: Overall: I am absolutely in love with the new Battle Plan indicator ... I love how it scales across timeframes, how it moves with price. I'm just so thankful that this was finally created.  One of our traders remarked today, " I don't know about anyone else, but the BP indicator really helped me keep things in perspective today. " As I wrote last night, " Well, we finished at the top of the weekly range, near the top of the 135-point move. Every entry idea near the high here is low probability. " Therefore, the first battle plan I outlined was Battle Plan (2️⃣), which was nearly 60 points away.   Battle Plan (3️⃣) was 110 points away.  Battle Plan (2️⃣):   🔥 Battle Plan (2️⃣) for a 40-60 point run.  A great entry for international members or night owls!   Best MES Setups for Price Action Traders Clear Range Rejection: ES gave a clear reje...

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Posted: Monday February 23, 2025 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Monday, February 23rd opens a week with limited news catalysts early before key economic data arrives at week's end, placing the emphasis squarely on price action and technical levels. ES and MES futures remain lodged in the middle of a high-timeframe range — a location that demands patience and precision over aggression. The week's primary theme is trade location awareness: with price centered between major extremes, the best setups may not arrive until mid-week or later. The new MicrosTrader Battle Plan Indicator launched this week as a significant tool upgrade, allowing traders to visualize battle plan scenarios directly on their TradingView charts in real time. 📅 Weekly Devotional & Opening Mindset The session opened with a scripture reading from Psalms 118 — a passage centered on gratitude and praise. The weekly devotional tradition serves as a grounding ritual before...

☀️ AM BRIEFING Traders faced heightened volatility on OPEX Friday as options expiration coincided with key macroeconomic and geopolitical catalysts. With the S&P 500 futures trading in the middle of a 100-day range, conditions favored choppy price action over sustained trends. The session carried additional risk from the PCE inflation release, potential Supreme Court tariff decisions, and geopolitical tensions involving Iran. Emphasizing disciplined risk management, the strategy prioritized capital preservation, reduced position sizing, and strict adherence to predefined loss limits. Opening Remarks Welcome to the AM Briefing: The OPEX Friday Market Outlook and Trading Strategy. Today’s environment is what I would call “Level 10” trading conditions. This is not a normal Friday. It’s OPEX Friday — Options Expiration — and that alone changes the behavior of the market. Add in major macroeconomic catalysts, and we are looking at a session where capital pre...
