Morning Briefing: Level 10 Trading Week Ahead

Good morning, everybody!
I thought we’d just do this live today. I slept in a little bit, so let’s get right into it.

Welcome to the AM Briefing brought to you by MicrosTrader.com – where together, we trade better. We are an ES/MES Futures Trading Room with a high-probability trading system. If you’re looking for a community to trade with, check us out at MicrosTrader.com.

Weekly Scripture

Ephesians 2:8-9
“For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift—not from works, so that no one can boast.”

Market Outlook: A Volatile and Dangerous Week

I didn’t update the tip of the day, but this entire week is wild. It's crucial to pre-plan how you’re going to trade, especially with Non-Farm Payroll and Powell on Friday. Could today be a "Black Monday" scenario? Sentiment and rhetoric are at a fever pitch. We need a redline day for the VIX—something to flush this market.

News Drivers

  • Monday: Possible panic sell-off
  • Tuesday: Market digestion
  • April 2: Tariff Day

I’ve marked the first three days as green, but honestly, every day this week could go red. It feels dangerous. Now is not the time to trade 20 accounts at full leverage. Proceed with caution—this is a rare Level 10 week.

Trade Recap and Strategy

We called a nice long during the Sunday candle opening, even though it was counter-trend. We highlighted where we expected price to go—and it got there this morning.

If you're in my group, we've been upgraded to the Essentials Indicator. I covered this in a video over the weekend, including a breakdown on indicator stacking—loading the same indicator twice, with different timeframes for diverse insights.

Key Trading Notes

  • Strong levels are updated for Friday.
  • We will be live for the NFP candle and multiple times this week.
  • To be notified, like, subscribe, and hit the bell.
  • Grab the free Foundations Course, which includes a Zoom pass.
  • If you don’t receive it, submit a support ticket.

Badge System

  • First Bounce Level
  • Second Bounce Level
  • Third Bounce Level
  • End-of-Day Chart (revealing every trade)

Last week, we recorded 38 wins, one loss, and eight scratches.

Market Technicals

Bears are in full control.
We took a long at the group’s open and targeted a key failure point, which became the high of the evening. That’s where we would take partial profits, secure positions, and hold one contract at breakeven—just in case the market continued.

We hit the next strong level overnight, and the reaction was clean. I would’ve been long this morning if I hadn’t slept in. But no chasing—there will be more opportunities.

Bearish Conditions Persist

Bears still dominate.
Longs are counter-trend and should be small, if taken at all. If we recapture our range, it might get interesting. Until then, expect selloffs.

We talked about going long on the third ladder up, targeting the 50% of the New Week Opening Gap. It worked out beautifully.

Even in sharp moves, our mechanical take-profit system ensures consistent trade management.

Managing Entries and Exits

We advised exiting ES trades to deleverage into MES contracts, protecting profits and allowing flexibility for re-entry.

Remember:

  • Don't buy the dip blindly
  • Avoid full-leverage shorts
  • Walk away if it feels too volatile
  • There are easier days to trade

Key Levels to Watch

We’re watching:

  • London High
  • Asia High
  • Overnight High
  • New Week Opening Gap (top and 50%)
  • Weekly Low

Chart it out. Stay alert.

Indicator Setup: Essentials Stacking

I use two instances of the Essentials Indicator:

  • One for the 30-minute and higher timeframes
  • One for the 3-minute intraday

This setup is part of the indicator stacking strategy I explained in this weekend’s video.

Final Thoughts

I can’t wait to trade live with my group. Stay sharp, stay green. Be smart, trade the levels, and don’t chase.

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...
