Preparing ES Emini & MES Micros Traders
For Our Emini and Micros Futures Trading Room



Yesterday’s market activity demonstrated the importance of patience and discipline, as traders navigated a 100-point range with precision. MicrosTrader.com’s AM Briefing focused on mapping high-probability trades and emphasized the value of following price action rather than predicting it. With key levels like 16 and 78 highlighted, the trading community achieved well-timed entries and exits. As non-farm payroll approaches, traders are encouraged to review their trade plans and adapt to changing market conditions. RESOURCES:

TRANSCRIPT:

Good Morning, Everyone!

Welcome to the AM Briefing, where we’ll review yesterday’s trades and explore today’s trading opportunities. Let’s start with an uplifting message from the scripture of the week:

Matthew 11:28

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."

My wife and I often quiz each other on this weekly verse to reinforce our learning, and this week’s verse comes straight from Matthew 11:28. Let’s keep it in our hearts as we go through the week.

AM Briefing Overview

Brought to you by MicrosTrader.com, where "together we trade better."

Episode #339 reminds us: "There is always another high-probability trade around the corner."

Yesterday’s trading session highlighted this principle beautifully during the live stream on YouTube and Zoom. With a 100-point range in the market, here’s a key takeaway: Never let one trade define your day. Be selective and patient with entries, as the next high-probability setup is often just around the corner.

Key Highlights from Yesterday's Trading

  • Big Swings in the Market: Yesterday’s market was volatile, with a 100-point range. It’s essential to stay disciplined and keep some "powder dry" for the best opportunities.
  • High-Probability Trades: Yesterday featured more than two excellent setups. During our session, we mapped out trades, waited patiently, and executed with precision when conditions aligned.
  • Recorded Sessions Available: If you missed the live stream, check out yesterday's 1 hour and 53-minute video on YouTube. It demonstrates our trading methodology, including trade mapping and execution.
  • Upcoming Market Schedule:
    • Thursday: Market closed for U.S. holidays.
    • Friday: Non-farm payroll day. While it’s traditionally a "non-trade" day, we’ll still be on Zoom to aim for surgical entries. Remember to consult your trade plan—if it doesn’t include non-farm payroll trading, consider sitting it out.

Key Trade Reviews

  • Levels Given: Yesterday, we provided two critical levels—16 and 78. Both were significant, and while some trades didn’t trigger, others were executed flawlessly.
  • Patience Paid Off: Our focus on precise setups allowed us to avoid impulsive decisions. For example, mapping trades at our “eyeball” levels led to successful long trades with clear entry and exit points.

Trade Plan Tips

  1. Review your trade journal.
  2. Ask yourself: "Did I follow my plan?"
  3. Be clear about the most important levels. For today, focus on the 74 level and observe how price interacts with it.
  4. Remember, trading is about following price, not predicting it.

Final Thoughts

To all my traders: Stay patient, follow your trade plan, and let price guide you. The market is full of opportunities, and with discipline, you’ll always find the next high-probability setup. Good luck, and 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...
