DEC 31 TRADE PLAN Wednesday December 31, 2025 On the final trading day of the year, Micros Trader emphasized the importance of pairing disciplined loss prevention with the strategic addition to winning positions.

BEST ES EMINI SETUPS Tuesday December 30, 2025 Micros Trader opened Tuesday’s AM Briefing with a firm reminder to traders to commit to avoiding big losses by refusing to move stops or add to losing trades. The ES futures market is currently in a consolidation phase following a clear laddering down structure, and traders were advised to wait for a decisive move before initiating new positions.

Tuesday December 23, 2025 📈 Read The Full ES Trade Plan ☀️ TODAY'S SETUPS A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups: Holiday price action. Slow grind to the north.  ES did a lot today, though. Took the IB Low, IB High, Overnight High, Last week's high. Price is trying to break free of the range we've discussed for days. It hovered at the top of the range for over 4 hours! See the green box in the chart below.  Top of Range TIP OF THE DAY Which days are the easiest to say, "No Thank You"?  As they say in real estate - "Location Location Location".

How To Trade MES Micros Monday December 22, 2025 In Monday’s AM Briefing, Micros Trader emphasized the critical importance of using a hard stop loss on every trade to protect against external disruptions such as internet failure or sudden market events. The discussion formed part of a larger trade plan framework and laid out specific protocols for defining, managing, and adjusting stop losses. A separate technical analysis of current market conditions revealed an overwhelmingly bullish posture, supported by seven confirming indicators. While long entries are currently high-risk due to location, short positions are considered even riskier unless a specific re-entry setup presents itself. 📖 AM Briefing: Holiday Week Trading & Stop Loss Mastery Welcome to the shortened Christmas week!
