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. Set an alert at your Battle Plan level, move about your day, and if we get there... come back and look with a fresh set of eyes. Trader Lesson 2 Leaving a series of VPOCs is another way to look at the strength of a move. Put them on your chart. Pretend you're going on a trip and they're signs on the highway telling you how many miles it is to Buc-ee's. Trader Lesson 3 If we don't touch this POC, what does this POC become tomorrow? A VPOC. Failure to hit POC and getting back under the VWAP... we're going to switch targets to below. Trader Lesson 4 I don't want to go long against a high timeframe backside. Real difficult place to do that. And because of the overnight action, I can't just go short here eith...

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...

Today's Review OVERVIEW Right Side of Price Action In last night's Battle Plan ... I remarked that we were probably going to gap down over the first two Battle Plan trade ideas.  We did.  We also only mapped out longs... Providing entries, plus add-ons and targets  The ultimate "Take Profit" target: I wrote, "Look to add to your winning trade... targeting the "2026 RTH Open 6902" price." After the sizable gap down, this upside target seemed to be a low-probability target. We laddered up and up and up. Being on the right side of price action surely makes trading more pleasant.   Congrats to Daron who wrote this afternoon, "Just set my stop at 6897.75 to lock in a total of 100pts between 2 contracts. This will be my first 100 pointer!" 🌙 OVERNIGHT Battle Plan 3️⃣: 120-pointer Nice entry last night! Congrats to all the traders who took the entry as outlined. Some traders added to their trade - Shout out to Daron ...
