Best ES Emini Setups & Trade Plan
Monday January 5, 2026
A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups:
SUNDAY OPENING:
With the Venezuela news, the ETH opening was NOT an ideal time to trade.
ASIA OPENING:
Battle Plan (1️⃣) for the win! 50+ pointer.
Yesterday I wrote, "Continuation long from the beautiful Battle Plan (3️⃣) from Friday. Small Long trade idea or add-on." It was indeed a continuation of Friday's Battle Plan long.
Once Asia opened, Battle Plan (1️⃣) was activated with multiple taps on the Strong Level. To "stay in this trade" required perfect execution of our 3-Contract System.
If you took the trade during Asia and held, congrats! Price made it to the mapped-out target. The London session continued the follow-through.
See the chart below.
RTH SESSION:
We got a "Small Range Alert". This generally means there will be little level development and little opportunity for new entries. Moderate expectations when that happens.
Beautiful follow-through to the north.
If you were short from LAST Sunday, your stop got hit today - congrats!
If you were long from Friday's Battle Plan long, keep trailing that stop - congrats!
I am still holding my long from Friday's Battle Plan (3️⃣) (video). Today, the price got within 3.5 points of a 100-pointer - not a bad way to start off the year!
TIP OF THE DAY
Never counter short covering.
TRADE OF THE DAY
BATTLE PLAN:
100-Point short from last Sunday's Battle Plan (2️⃣) was stopped out today! Congrats to the traders who took that and held!
100 POINTERS:
We seem to get one Battle Plan trade idea each week that goes 100 points.
Last week, TWO mapped-out trades went 100 points... short trade discussed above and the long trade mentioned below and explained here!
How many of those do you need each week?
The discipline of HOLDING A RUNNER 100+ points can often be a tipping point for many traders.
It's certainly not something that happens every single day.
Even one little measly MES contract can pay handsomely if you get the right move and let price do its thing!
96-Point long from Fridays "Speculator Special" and Battle Plan (3️⃣).
ZOOM:
I told the group, "Don't short this".
Then... we also discussed... "When can you short an up move?"... a VERY important question to know the answer to!
I painted three detailed scenarios/answers.
To illustrate the first scenario with a specific price... I told the group, "IF you MADE ME SHORT, I would short 62." (Remember, I am already long!). And I outlined the reasons for my rationale.
A clean 10-pointer, had one taken it.
See the chart... the white line highlights the 62/Strong Range. If you had multiple contracts, TP at the Bull Bear Strong Level (the most likely price will bounce back up) and keep a lotto runner back "just in case".
CORE STRATEGY & DISCORD:
Small Range Alert.... No level development. No Level, No trade.
6943 Long at 2:53 EST. Played Well.
