Preparing ES Emini & MES Micros Traders
For Our Emini and Micros Futures Trading Room

Traders closed the week reflecting on spiritual grounding from Deuteronomy 7:9 while analyzing a volatile market following underwhelming CPI data. Eyes now shift to the PPI report, though it delivered little movement, leaving bulls with the upper hand. Technical analysis remains bullish above the key 5250 level, and market participants are advised to manage risk and journal their trades carefully. With new media initiatives like SPX Radio on the horizon, MicrosTrader continues to innovate in futures trading education and engagement. RESOURCES:

TRANSCRIPT:

Morning Briefing & Final Scripture

Good morning, everyone!
A special good morning to you, David, Mr. James Paul, Mr. Scott, Grandpa Roger, and the rest of the crew. Today marks the final day of this week’s scripture focus:

“Know that Yahweh your God is God, the faithful God who keeps His gracious covenant loyalty for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.” – Deuteronomy 7:9

While it might not be your life verse, it's definitely a solid one to carry forward.

CPI & PPI Commentary

Yesterday's CPI candle was, frankly, an embarrassment. It likely got mocked by previous CPI candles all day long. Perhaps today, PPI—its “stepbrother”—can redeem the family name. Don’t forget to journal your CPI days. If you’ve been using our journaling template, by year-end, you’ll have several well-documented days to reflect on.

Friday Rules and Trade Highlights

As always: Go into the weekend a winner. If you had a strong week like the Crossing Crew or traders like Grandpa Roger (with a 20-point capture) or James Paul (over 100 points), congratulations!

Pick a percentage of your weekly profit to risk.
One-loss-and-done is a strong Friday strategy.

Got another 50 points at 3:30? Wild!

Looking Ahead to Next Week

Next week looks lighter on economic data. However, Wednesday brings Retail Sales and a Powell speech, which should stir things up. President Biden is undergoing his annual physical today and will be heading to Mar-a-Lago afterwards, so not much expected from that end.

New Content and Updates

I published part of yesterday’s AM Briefing as a standalone video and may re-record it with better formatting. It covers entry criteria and had solid feedback. If you watch, please like, comment, and engage—it really helps.

Also, I’m experimenting with a Sunday Night Opening Candle Update and a new audio-only SPX Radio Show for afternoons. Think air traffic control: silence until something important happens. Light music in the background, commentary when needed. We’ll see how it evolves.

Trading System Performance & Market Analysis

Yesterday featured monster candles, and our system continues to get a stress test. Despite the volatility, the boot camp levels still hold beautifully, confirming the robustness of our approach.

While I took two losses in the morning, I came back in the afternoon and mopped up—ending with a solid green day. Still only paper trading, avoiding real cash exposure in this environment.

Chart Observations

Overnight Asia Session: A 175-point move—insane compared to the historical 20-point average.
High-Timeframe Trend Line (~5250): We’ve tested it multiple times and it's acting as a key zone.
Upper Distribution: Not bearish, possibly bullish. Bulls are defending aggressively.

We’re also well above our anchored VWAP from Sunday, which is critical support.

Technical Setups & Trade Scenarios

Key takeaways:

Watch for bounce opportunities at key levels.
If we get under the 5250 mark again, it could signal a major drop.
If we reclaim levels above the trend line, it’s potentially long all day.
Avoid shorting strength—a critical rule in ES trading.

Final Thoughts

PPI didn’t provide much today either, and the market is still highly reactive to economic fear and short-covering rallies. For now, bulls get the benefit of the doubt. Strong levels from last weekend are still in play, and the 5250 area remains a key zone to watch.

If you're not yet in the group, it's only $5 a day—and it’s worth every cent.

Wishing you a green day. I’ll see my team at the top of the hour for our mental training and trade mapping session.
