🎙️ Welcome to S&P Futures Radio – Live Trading Edition

Good morning, traders, and welcome to S&P Futures Radio: The Live Trading Edition, where the markets are hot, the fills are fast, and the weather is always 75 and sunny. On the mic is your TikTok rockstar, the one and only Mighty Macro.

With all the tick-by-tick action, you might want to grab an extra espresso shot—because this market is ready to rock and roll. One second you’re riding high, the next you're wondering why your stop just got vaporized.

So play it smart, traders. Know your levels, respect the volatility, and for the love of price action—watch those wicks.

The charts are up, the coffee’s hot, and we’re about to open the floodgates to another wild ride in the futures market. So strap in, set those stops, and let’s ride the waves.

☕ AM Briefing – Friday, March 28

Welcome to the AM Briefing for Friday, March 28, brought to you by MicrosTrader.com, where together, we trade better.

There’s always another high-probability trade around the corner. We always encourage mapping out your trades before they happen. Remember:

  • Only add to winners.
  • Never add to losers.
  • Follow price action—don't predict it.

📖 Scripture of the Week

“Do not boast so proudly or let arrogant words come out of your mouth, for the Lord is a God of knowledge, and actions are weighed by Him.” – 1 Samuel 2:3

Ain’t that beautiful? So powerful. I absolutely love it.

✅ Friday Trading Rules – What’s Your Plan?

It’s Friday—Friday rules are in play.

What are your specific trading rules for PCE Fridays or OPEX Fridays? These are decisions that should be made before the market opens, ideally on weekends when you’re not emotionally caught up in the moment.

Examples:

  • One trade and done? Stick to it.
  • Willing to risk 10% of weekly earnings? Make sure you actually have that 10%.
  • Are you trading all your prop accounts today—or just paper trading?

Friday rules must be pre-decided. Trading discipline separates the pros from the amateurs.

📊 Weekly Trade Performance Recap

  • 31 Wins
  • 1 Full Loss
  • 8 Scratches (4 potential losers, 4 potential winners)

Trade location and context are crucial. If you're counter-trend, be quicker to take the gift of break-even. Trade smaller when counter-trend.

📉 Chart Analysis & Trendlines

The primary 30-minute trendline is no longer valuable due to recent swings. However, we've identified strong support levels and outlined a battle plan for overnight and RTH sessions.

Preferred trade: Long from reclaiming the strong level and pushing back into yesterday’s range. Stops should be placed just under key levels.

🎥 Recorded Trade & Strategy Discussion

Woke up at 3:30 AM, recorded a trade live. It was a solid 10-pointer during a volatile PCE Friday. Execution and patience were key.

Most trading is waiting—and impatient traders are often punished.

🧠 Final Thoughts & Mental Training

At the top of the hour, we transition to mental training. Always respect the market, follow logical systems, and don’t overtrade on volatile days like today.

Remember: “Live to trade another day.”

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...
