Welcome ES MES Futures Traders

AM Briefing Video

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

Good morning, everybody, and happy Friday, March 14th—the end of the week!

This Week's Scripture

Micah 6:8

"Mankind, He has told you what is good and what it is the Lord requires of you: to act justly, to love faithfully, and to walk humbly with your God."

News Drivers

Today, 30 minutes after the market opens, we have sentiment and inflation expectations data being released. In my opinion, it's an "orange day" in terms of market impact.

Three Big Events Next Week:

  • Contract Rollover – We will start trading the new contract and marking new levels on Tuesday.
  • FOMC Meeting – Tuesday is the day before FOMC Wednesday, which is crucial for market movements.
  • Options Expiration Week – Thursday is the day before options expiration, and Friday is options expiration day itself.

If you’re looking for a good week to take off from trading, next week might be it! Volatility is high, and the price action has been wild.

Yesterday's Market Review

A couple of great things happened in yesterday’s trading session.

We pushed down to the bottom of the range we had drawn yesterday, and as I mentioned before, the bottom of the range is a better place to look for a long entry. We mapped it out, got the entry, and took the long.

  • Grandpa Roger made 50 points on this move with three contracts.
  • I took only one contract because I had an incredible trading day the day before.

Key Lesson from Yesterday

When you are countering who controls, be aggressive in your take profits (TP).

Overnight & Current Market Outlook

Looking at the 30-minute chart, here’s where we stand:

  • We are still inside yesterday’s range, meaning bears still control.
  • A change in trend would likely happen if we see one more ladder up above the current levels.

Trading Plan for Today

I’ll be looking for longs as long as we remain inside this range. Ideally, I’d like to see a move where we:

  1. Grab liquidity from these two pools.
  2. Make a strong move back in.
  3. Get above the parabolic trendline for a long entry.

Final Thoughts

If you’d like to trade with us, check us out at MicrosTrader.com or grab a Zoom pass.

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...
