AM Briefing – April 8, 2025

Good morning, everyone!
Welcome to the AM Briefing brought to you by MicrosTrader.com, where together, we trade better. Remember, there's always another high-probability trade around the corner. Iron sharpens iron, and we all trade the same chart, looking for the same trades. This makes trading easier and more effective as a community.

Weekly Scripture

“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 commands.”

— Deuteronomy 7:9

Tip of the Day

If the market gives you a fast profit—take it and walk away. If the market runs over you like a freight train—walk away. "Walk" is always your ultimate power. No position is a position.

Market Drivers & News

Not much news today. Tomorrow brings the FOMC minutes and CPI data. The big question: will the market stay on hold until then, or are we still in tariff bomb territory?

Earnings-wise, not much to report. Though, it was kind of cool to see WD-40 on the list—gotta love that!

In the POTUS schedule today, there's a conference at 1:00 PM and potentially a speech from Trump at 3:00 PM EST.

Community Wins

Shout out to Justin, James, and Papy for 100+ point runners yesterday! One of the best things about this group is the support—we encourage each other. As we say: together we trade better.

A quote from Caleb (shared with appreciation):
“On days like this, it's really nice to have a group where the talk isn't ‘the sky is falling, the world is ending,’ but rather an exchange of actual ideas and trading the same system.”

Trading Recap

Yesterday on the core strategy, I had zero wins, zero losses, and zero scratches. None of the RTH session setups met my leverage metrics. I didn’t trade because the conditions didn’t align with my stop-loss strategy.

I had considered staying in my runner from Sunday night’s entry, but I moved my stop to just behind the VWAP, and it got taken out. In hindsight, that trade had runner potential—100, 200, 300, even 400 points.

Lesson: when the market gives you a gift like that, take it. Keep trailing your stop. When it ends, get out of the way. Yesterday's market saw the largest day range in ES history—a truly phenomenal price action day.

Chart Overview

We're currently in the upper distribution—bullish structure forming. But I’m not going long into yesterday’s highs. Instead, I’m watching for:

  • Reactions at the two RTH highs
  • Rejections or breaks at three key lows
  • Price action near the 2025 overnight low

I’m hoping for a retracement that creates a solid long entry setup again.

We’re also observing trend lines across timeframes. A key intersection point is between the daily and monthly trend lines, which we backtested yesterday. Watching how price behaves around this area will be critical.

Trade Strategy

Watch for:

  • A potential bullish break above 5244-5315 zone
  • A retrace to retest three key lows
  • A rejection off the trend line leading to a renewed bearish push

We'll be analyzing this live in our trading group via Zoom. If you'd like to join us and be part of the discussion:

Closing Thoughts

I missed the big move yesterday, and that’s okay. There will always be another setup. We’ll regroup and trade today’s opportunities together. Join us 30 minutes before the market opens for our mental training session.

Stay green, my friends!

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...
