Welcome ES MES Futures Traders

Introduction

Welcome to the AM briefing video presented by MicrosTrader.com, where together we trade better. Good morning, everyone!

Weekly Scripture

"Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus." – 1 Thessalonians 5:18

This scripture reminds us to keep both pride and disappointment in check, maintaining a balanced perspective. God controls all circumstances—good and challenging alike. Often, the difficult times are designed to strengthen and refine us, making us better individuals. Give thanks in everything, as it is God's will for you in Christ.

Tip of the Day

Yesterday, following a bank holiday, we experienced messy price action. Did you enjoy the volatility? Reflect on whether it was worth the depletion of your mental reserves. Personally, I avoided trading yesterday while recovering from an illness, recognizing that post-bank-holiday markets rarely offer great opportunities. Staying out saved my energy and preserved my "powder." Remember, avoiding impulsive trades can often be the best decision.

News Drivers

Today's Wednesday, and the news calendar is relatively light:

  • Tomorrow: Regular unemployment claims.
  • Friday: Flash manufacturing and services PMI, existing home sales, and consumer sentiment reports.

This week offers decent trading conditions. It's also the first week of a new administration, so take note of any policy-driven momentum. We will be live on YouTube again next Tuesday. If you enroll in our free Foundations Course at MicrosTrader.com, you’ll receive a free Zoom pass to join us live.

Yesterday’s Review

Yesterday’s live YouTube session highlighted our key entries and targets. A notable move occurred when ES broke over a trend line, retested it, and continued upward. Watching this trend unfold was both satisfying and educational. While I didn’t trade, the strategy played out beautifully, with a 40-50 point upward move.

This trendline breakthrough signifies momentum, but as traders, we must avoid FOMO (Fear of Missing Out). Staying disciplined ensures long-term success.

ES Chart Analysis – Where Are We Now?

We’re in a clear uptrend, with six consecutive days of upward momentum. While this suggests strength, it also raises questions about when a pullback might occur. Solid rules are crucial:

  • Never be the first to short an uptrend.
  • Use key levels like high timeframe trend lines for stop placement to maximize moves.

Currently, ES continues to demonstrate strong price action, but shorts remain risky. My focus remains on longer trades or staying flat. We’ve left gaps in price levels that may later fill, but the market’s euphoria signals caution against premature counter-trend trades.

Final Thoughts

This market is displaying optimism and strength, but rules and discipline are critical for navigating it successfully. Avoid guessing when to short an uptrend. Stay smart, wait for high-probability setups, and stick to your trading plan.

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...
