S&P 500 Futures Trade Plan – 5 ES Futures Set Ups | Key Levels & Scenarios | Monday
Monday September 8, 2025
A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups:
As we said in last night's Battle Plan before Sunday's opening....
"Bulls control 100% until proven otherwise. I repeat, they control until PROVEN otherwise. Be careful about being a soothsayer and making wild predictions."
SMALL RANGE OPENING: It surely was "Monday". A small 10-point, 30-minute opening range. Small-range openings rarely deliver tradable price action.
What does price do when there is a small range? We take a high, a low, and we come back into POC... in MOST cases. That is exactly what happened today.
One Long: We got one long opportunity in the AM (on Zoom) for a 10-pointer. This is the only trade we called. See the video above. I tried to get long when we bounced off Friday's VAH level we marked on our charts this AM at 6490.75. Nothing clean, so I did nothing. There are easier days to trade.
Battle Plan Trade Idea (1️⃣) was close! See Below.

The Battle Plan for Tonight & Tomorrow:
Consolidation above Friday's half-back lasted for over 20 hours. We are preparing for a large move.
With PPI, CPI this week and FOMC next week, we are in for a ride. Buckle up!
As said last night... Bulls control 100% until proven otherwise. Can the bulls stay above Bull-Bear Line? Or will they FAIL and ladder below 6400? I repeat, they control until PROVEN otherwise. Be careful about being a soothsayer and making wild predictions.
Since bulls control, my primary focus will be on "Trap The Trader" Longs.
Small "inside day". See image below.
TRADE IDEAS
(1️⃣) I am including this trade AGAIN (with slight modification) b/c... If price fails up here, it could be a spectacular sight. If Trade Idea (2️⃣) or (3️⃣) happens first, be careful with this as a potential entry.
(2️⃣) If the bulls are strong, this could be a great "Trap The Trader" trade.
(3️⃣) My favorite trade idea. This takes two daily lows.
(4️⃣) This is a Watch Out Below. It is a long way down to Battle Plan (5️⃣) idea. If you are short from above, this might be a great place to "think about" adding to your short. This is not trading advice.
(5️⃣) Just in case the price gets WAY down there.
SPECULATOR'S SPECIAL
Nothing... we are coiled up TOO tight.
