ES MES Micros Futures Weekend Chart Analysis




Futures traders are gearing up for a shortened trading week with key economic reports, including FOMC minutes and unemployment claims, potentially shaping price action. With ES futures only 50 points from an all-time high, bullish momentum remains strong despite some mixed signals in equity indexes. Traders are advised to approach Tuesday cautiously after the holiday, with Friday's OPEX posing additional volatility risks. A free lesson on the "First Bounce Level" is being offered, providing insights into precision entry strategies for E-mini futures traders.

Welcome ES & MES Futures Traders

Welcome to the AM Briefing Video, presented by MicrosTrader.com, where together we trade better!

Happy weekend, everyone! It's a nice three-day weekend, so let's start it off with a chart tune-up.

This Week’s Scripture: Isaiah 53:5

"But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; the punishment for our peace was on Him."

Some people ask, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" But this verse challenges us to think, "Why do bad people get good things?"

Christ died the death that sinners deserve, yet God offered a way for you to be saved. The most powerful part? Christ willingly and purposefully gave up His life for the very people He created.

Tip of the Day: Is Four Trades Enough?

  • You don’t have to trade every day.
  • If you don’t see a setup, it’s okay to sit out.
  • One quality trade per day is better than overtrading.

Remember, it’s about consistency, patience, and discipline.

News Drivers for Futures Traders

Monday – U.S. Holiday

  • Tuesday is the first trading day after a holiday, and I’m marking it as orange caution.
  • We will be live, but I expect low activity unless a major event happens over the weekend.

Wednesday – FOMC Minutes

  • Not the actual FOMC decision, just the minutes.
  • Typically, not much action, but be aware of potential volatility.

Thursday – Unemployment Claims

  • A trade-worthy day, much like Wednesday.

Friday – OPEX (Options Expiration)

  • New traders should avoid trading on OPEX Fridays!
  • That means no trades Monday or Friday, leaving Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday for quality setups.

Remember: "A trade a day keeps the 9-to-5 away."

  • He teaches it on Bitcoin, but I teach it on ES (E-mini S&P 500 Futures).

Chart Review: SPX, SPY, NDX, QQQ

  • SPX (S&P 500 Index): Did NOT make an all-time high.
  • SPY (S&P 500 ETF): Made an all-time high.
  • NDX (Nasdaq 100 Index): Made an all-time high.
  • QQQ (Nasdaq ETF): Did NOT make an all-time high.

Final Thoughts: Stay Green!

If you went into the weekend flat, great decision. If you held longs from earlier, you’re still in a solid position.

Final Tip: Consider the possibility of a gap up or down—always manage risk accordingly.

🔹 Stay disciplined. Stay patient. Stay green!

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...
