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.

What else? Mark ALL your levels BEFORE the market opens. Listening/Reading the Review section of the Battle Plan (Less than 8 minutes most days!) Each day… before you are allowed to consider entering a trade… Show up prepared — t...

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Range Rules, Trade Elimination, and the Art of Saying No to the Chart Posted: Thursday April 30, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Thursday's AM Briefing landed on one of the most loaded trading sessions of the quarter — the day after FOMC, the final trading day of April, monster overnight earnings from Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, and Alphabet, Apple reporting after the close, and NQ printing a new all-time high overnight. George opened his platform exactly zero times. His session was a live masterclass in the most underrated skill in futures trading: knowing when not to trade. The session delivered sharp lessons on range rules, trade elimination, the pre-trade checklist, and how to manage a lotto runner while you're busy doing something else. Day After FOMC — Why It Is Often More Dangerous Than FOMC Itself If FOMC day is the main event, the day after is the aftershock — and in George's experience, it can be harder to trade. The market...
