Welcome ES MES Futures Traders

Morning Briefing Overview

Welcome to the morning briefing video presented by MicrosTrader.com, where together, we trade better. Good morning, everyone! This week’s featured Bible verse is:

"Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God."

(Philippians 4:6)

If you'd like to keep this verse close, you can visit MicrosTrader.com under the "52 Verses" section, where you can find an iPhone cover featuring this scripture.

Tip of the Day

Understanding who controls the market and how trades work is critical. Yesterday showcased that beautifully. The trading environment was fun and straightforward, with the bears in control, leading to easy shorts. We’ll discuss today’s setup and expectations shortly.

News Drivers for Today

Today is Tuesday, and we’ll be live on YouTube 10–15 minutes before the market opens. Key events to note:

  • PPI (Producer Price Index) this morning.
  • CPI (Consumer Price Index) tomorrow.

Tomorrow’s morning briefing will be later, as I’ll live stream it closer to the CPI release. We’ll watch the CPI candle develop together, much like last Friday’s nonfarm payroll event. Be cautious over the next few days:

  • CPI today.
  • The day before Opex (Options Expiration).
  • Opex itself.

Does your trade plan include guidelines for these events? If not, I have a detailed video on my YouTube channel to help.

Yesterday’s Review

Yesterday’s trading session was straightforward:

  • Bears controlled the market, making shorts easy.
  • Key trades included shorting around 29–30, with a couple of 10-point captures.
  • While the risk of short covering was high, ideal long setups were scarce.

Despite the bears’ dominance, some longs could be taken, but I stuck to shorts as that aligned with my trade plan. The day was enjoyable and instructive.

ES Chart Analysis and Scenarios

Yesterday began with a gap down, and today may open with a gap up. Key observations:

  • Key Level: The RTH (Regular Trading Hours) high at 5922, which aligns with a significant trend line.
  • A potential area of resistance: London High to the 22 area.

With a strong 100-point short covering rally, new trade entries may be sparse until the market retraces and fills liquidity zones (overnight lows, Asia lows).

Trading tip: Focus on the quality of setups rather than chasing every price move. Remember, every move doesn’t require participation.

Closing Thoughts

Today’s PPI and tomorrow’s CPI create a tricky trading environment. Exercise caution, wait for clarity after the PPI, and join us live on YouTube for real-time insights. Stay green, my friends!

ES Futures Trading Strategy

Youtube Channel I: Youtube Channel II:  Welcome to Micros Trader.  As a trading group we analyze ES price action live via zoom each morning, from Market Open Til New York Lunch, looking for the same… predictable… 3-5 trade set ups. We typically get 30-45 set ups a week with a 90%+ win rate - your mileage may vary significantly and in no way is this a promise - it is past results we have experienced personally.  We draw horizontal bounce lines. We play the bounces off those lines, looking for multiple confluences that gives the levels extra bounce power. Before entering a trade we analyze the price action, and lett trend dictate our leverage. We tend to favor trades with the trend but we do extremely well in chop too - with much lower leverage of course.  Our core trading strategy for scalping S&P Futures…. is a blend of techniques taught by Cotton Candy TA, ICT, and Market Profile Auction Principles. These principles coupled with years of reading ES price acti...
