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

Traders were encouraged this week with a spiritual reminder from Romans 1:17, emphasizing the importance of faith. The market has shown strong bullish momentum, confirmed by a held gap and consistent trendline support. Members are advised to remain logged out of their DOMs when idle to avoid impulsive trades and maintain discipline. With retail sales and Powell's comments looming midweek, the group remains cautiously optimistic and focused on long setups unless key trend indicators shift. RESOURCES:

📖 Weekly Scripture

"For in it God's righteousness is revealed from faith to faith, just as it is written: The righteous will live by faith." — Romans 1:17

💡 Tip of the Day

This morning's tip comes from last night’s stream: No trade? Be logged out of your DOM.

If you're bored or have no setup, log out of your DOM. In our group, we see the setups coming well in advance. That gives you plenty of time to log back in and act with purpose rather than boredom. How many times have you placed a trade and immediately thought, "Why did I do that again?" Logging out helps create a healthy resistance between you and impulsive trades. It ensures that when you do enter a trade, it's intentional.

📚 Free Course & Membership

If you haven't grabbed the Free Foundations Course, now's the time! It’s a great introduction to what we do. As a full member, you’ll learn:

The first three bounce levels.
How to build your End-of-Day Chart to review all trades.

Last week was slow for entries—only 8 trades due to price action being outside our leverage metrics. The week before had 29. We typically get 2 to 12 setups a day.

Strong levels were updated last night with notes for all members.

🏆 Shoutouts

Massive congrats to Justin, Caleb, Papy, and James on their 100-point runners last week. That’s incredible work!

📈 Market Overview

We anticipated a gap up and nailed it. While I’m not a predictor, we opened exactly where discussed. No trade from me—didn’t see the setup I wanted. The market gapped and held, showing signs of “lading up.”

Right now:

The trend is long or flat until something changes.
Watch your trend line—we are currently holding above it.

This week starts fresh. I had no entry last night and didn’t even load my DOM. I wasn’t looking for shorts, only long setups.

📊 Group Sentiment

Let’s check in. Everyone seems to be lading up. We're above Friday’s high, above VWAPs, and everything screams bullish.

Be cautious shorting—when bad news doesn’t move the market lower, that’s a sign. Trump said we’ve seen the worst regarding China, and if true, the market will likely grind slowly north.

🔍 Key Levels & Trend

We’ve broken out of the daily/monthly trend line, back-tested, and are now pushing up. This isn’t something to ignore. Be cautious with shorts.

The first serious short zone might be much higher—possibly 150 points away, which is nothing in this market.

🎯 Final Thoughts

We’re in a bull mode for now. No overextension. Until the trend line breaks or we get a significant run and reversal, the play is long or flat.

I'll see my traders live at the top of the hour for our mental training.

If you're not a member yet—why not?
Good luck today, and as always—stay green, my friends.
