Morning Briefing

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to the AM Briefing, brought to you by MicrosTrader.com, where together we trade better. We are an ES/MES futures trading room, so if you're searching for a strong, high-probability trading system and community, check us out at MicrosTrader.com.

Weekly Scripture

“I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.”

Galatians 2:20

Tip of the Day: The Power of Journaling

This week, we continue to focus on journaling. Writing is a grounding experience—it’s good for the soul. It builds a personal archive that outlines your journey and encourages higher-level thinking, far beyond mere contemplation.

A journaling practice is empowering. It can be your cheerleader and a guiding light. For traders who feel broken or hesitant, journaling offers healing and helps unlock the power of self-transformation.

Today's Market Overview

Today is Wednesday, and we have some employment data releasing about an hour before the market opens, followed by PCE and home sales at 9:00 AM ET. If you're planning to trade later in the session, consider coming back about 30 minutes after the open to assess the setup.

Make sure to complete your pre-flight routine and have your charts ready. Our live mental training begins 30 minutes before the market opens—members, don’t miss it!

Notable Earnings

  • Microsoft and Meta report after the bell—big ones to watch.

Political News

Former President Trump is attending a swearing-in ceremony today. Expect him to be speaking around the Silver Bullet Hour, which may bring some market noise.

Journaling Software Update

This morning, a new video was released highlighting the features of our journaling software version 2.0 at TraderMeditations.com (or Meditation.com). A key addition is the Trade Report, which allows CSV uploads (currently supports NinjaTrader) and delivers rich metrics.

You’ll be able to evaluate your trading with data such as P&L by hour, helping you understand whether you perform better in the morning, lunch hour, or afternoon. This tool is available to MicrosTrader.com members.

Trade Recap: Yesterday’s Action

Yesterday was relatively quiet. We called out a short trade that bounced off a strong range, leading to a 22-point rebound (our expected bounce was between 15–25 points). Personally, I did not take that trade and opted for a smaller short for a 3-point gain.

The day reminded me of a key trading lesson: “Green over more. Prioritize green, not more green.” I didn’t return to the markets in the afternoon and didn’t miss much, as the price action reversed its usual rhythm.

Technical Outlook

We are still seeing higher highs and higher lows, indicating a bullish trend. That said, we’re in a slow, grinding, multi-day chop to the upside.

Warning: the risk of a liquidation break is high today. If you’re in a long position and it starts turning against you, do not add to a losing trade—ever, but especially not today. If a strong southbound move comes, it may not respect typical levels.

Market Internals & Key Levels

  • Trend: Still bullish with higher highs and higher lows.
  • VWAP: Currently under for both us and NQ—advantage bears.
  • Overnight Halfback: Slightly under—leaning bearish.
  • Yesterday’s Range: Bullish.
  • Index Strength: Bullish.
  • Bull/Bear Line: Currently favors the bulls.
  • Liquidation Risk: High—favors the bears.

This creates a tight 4-3 split, leaning bullish overall but with caution due to the elevated risk of liquidation.

Join Us Live

If you’d like to join us, check out MicrosTrader.com. You can grab a Zoom pass, purchase a day or month pass, or become a full member and learn our complete system.

I’ll see my traders live 30 minutes before the market opens. Time to get my journal set up for the day. Stay green, my friends!

ES Futures Trading Strategy

Image
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...
