Best ES EMINI Setups

Image
☀️ AM BRIEFING Opening Remarks: Extreme Volatility and Risk Environment The current trading environment is defined by extreme volatility, best described as “Level 10” risk conditions. Market data confirms a high Average True Range (ATR) environment, with individual 3-minute candles frequently exceeding 15 points. These conditions resemble the intensity typically seen during major economic releases, such as Non-Farm Payrolls. A core market thesis is that both the ES Emini and the Nasdaq have spent extended time below the 2026 opening price, commonly referred to as the yearly bull-bear line. This behavior suggests that sellers are currently in control, even if intermittent rallies attempt to regain footing. The primary recommendation in this environment is professional discipline, specifically the discipline of withholding trade. When price action does not align with a written and predefined trade plan, the correct decision may be to stand aside. While ce...

MES MICROS TRADE PLAN 709

U.S. equity futures entered the February 4th session in a neutral posture, with the Nasdaq continuing to underperform relative to broader indices. Key economic data points, including ISM Services PMI and ADP employment figures, are expected to guide short-term price action, while after-hours earnings from Google could trigger volatility in tech names. Micros Trader emphasized cautious execution, urging traders to avoid initiating positions mid-range and instead wait for confirmation near predefined zones. The briefing reiterated that disciplined exits, particularly when trades become invalidated, are critical to preserving capital in a mixed and uncertain market environment. Opening Remarks In today’s February 4th AM Briefing, Micros Trader outlines a market that appears to be transitioning after a period of heightened volatility.

With a 98.5-point range, the recent Asia session stands as the largest since the previous spring. Market positioning is currently in the center of its two-week range, suggesting a high-risk profile for new entries. Strategic focus remains on "ladder down" sequences and the 2026 RTH opening price as a critical bull-bear line. Market Context and Volatility Analysis Analysis of nearly two years of data reveals the recent Asia session is a statistical outlier with a 98.5-point magnitude.

MES Futures Scalping System: Trade Location is Key!

☀️ AM BRIEFING Analysis of Trade Location and Market Dynamics: MicroS Trader Briefing Executive Summary The following briefing synthesizes key insights from the January 29th "Mastering Trade Location and the Nature of the Beast" session. The primary thesis of the discourse is that trade location—the specific positioning on a chart relative to market context—is the most critical factor in maintaining the "right side of price action." The analysis identifies the S&P 500 E-mini (ES) as a "trap the trader" instrument that frequently targets retail short-sellers to fuel upward momentum. Currently, following the FOMC meeting and the attainment of all-time highs (ATH), the market is entering a consolidation phase. The educator advises a disciplined approach: prioritizing long positions on pullbacks to strong levels while avoiding entries in the "upper distribution." The ove...

FOMC Trade Plan

☀️ AM BRIEFING Market Analysis: The Tale of Two Cities Executive Summary The current market landscape is defined by a significant divergence in trading performance and strategy, categorized as a "tale of two cities." While previous weeks favored core strategies and active Zoom sessions, the current week has been characterized by the dominance of "Battle Plan" trades executed during overnight sessions. The primary objective for the week—reaching all-time highs—has been achieved, largely propelled by a technical "slingshot" move from an origin level in the NQ. With the market currently sitting at all-time highs, the immediate trading opportunity has largely passed. Focus now shifts to high-impact macro drivers occurring this afternoon, specifically the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) announcement and major corporate earnings from Microsoft, Meta, and Tesla. Traders are advised to moderate expectations and ex...
