MES Micros Best Trade Setups
Tuesday January 6, 2026
A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups:
OVERVIEW:
4 Great Longs!
2 were Battle Plan trade ideas.
2 were from Zoom & Core Strategy.
OVERNIGHT:
Battle Plan (1️⃣) activated for a 10-15 pointer. See the chart below.
Battle Plan (2️⃣) activated for a 40 pointer IF you took your "Take Profit" at 6967 as outlined on Zoom this AM... OR... if you keep a paid-for lotto runner, you are still long! See the chart below.
RTH:
As we said, "Bulls Control"... and they do!
Opening long for a CLEAN 30-pointer IF you took your "Take Profit" at 6967 as outlined on Zoom/YouTube this AM... OR... if you keep a "paid-for lotto-runner" playing perfect chess per our 3-Contract System, 40+ points.
WANT TO MAKE TRADING EASIER?
Swim with the current.
Trade in the direction of... "who controls"!
That's why last night's trade plan didn't include a single short. Bulls control!
Think of it this way: trying to short when the Bulls control the market is like trying to paddle upstream in a river. Sure, you might make some progress... but you're exhausting yourself fighting against the natural flow. Meanwhile, the trader in the kayak going with the current? He's moving effortlessly, covering twice the distance with half the effort.
The same principle applies to ES and MES trading. When institutional money is pushing long, when the trend structure shows bullish control, when the Battle Plan identifies upside as the path of least resistance... that's your current. Your job isn't to be a hero fighting against it.
Your job is to recognize it, respect it, and ride it.
This is why disciplined traders outperform aggressive ones. They're not trying to pick tops or catch falling knives. They're simply asking: "Who controls this market right now?" Then they align their trades accordingly.
Save your energy. Trade with the current.
LOTTO RUNNERS:
If you are in an account such as a...
Cash Account,
Retirement Account,
EOD,
or Static Account,
You CAN hold a "paid-for lotto-runner" back at/near/slightly behind your entry... for the 'just in case" price runs your direction. Works well when you are swimming with the current. Use our 3-Contract System.
Today, it paid handsomely.
Patience PAYS!
I will hammer this into my traders' skulls for as long as the Good Lord lets me!
Today, once again, we focused on trading at the right locations on the chart... and that's half the battle right there. Knowing exactly where you want to engage with price, that changes everything. It's the very purpose of the Battle Plan.
My goal? To bring calm and clarity to your trading. Because when you know where to expect reactions... when you've got those key Battle Plan trade ideas identified ahead of time... you can pair that precision with your Core Strategy for entry.
It's a perfect marriage: Battle Plan locations + Core Strategy execution = high-probability trades with a clear plan.
No guessing. No chasing. No emotional decisions in the heat of the moment.
Just patient, disciplined trading at the levels that matter most.
TIP OF THE DAY
When bulls control, seek longs primarily. This can often make trading 'easier'.
TRADE OF THE DAY
BATTLE PLAN:
Battle Plan (1️⃣) activated for a 10-15 pointer.
Battle Plan (2️⃣) activated for a 40 pointer... IF you took your "Take Profit" at 6967 as outlined on Zoom this AM... OR, if you keep a paid-for lotto runner, you are still long!
120+ points long from Friday's "Speculator Special" and Battle Plan (3️⃣). Still long! 1 Micro can pay! Locking my 100 pointer as ES edges towards the "non-back-adjusted" ATH at 6994. See the image below.
ZOOM:
A clean 30-pointer as called live.
CORE STRATEGY & DISCORD:
3M FS FVG (against Bull Bear Strong Level) for the win.
Congrats to Justin and Jacky for taking that trade and HOLDING!
They were discussing STOP PLACEMENT and I told the traders, "Bulls control is all I know. Set your stop. Close your platform and walk. Don't look at the chart in agony."
Justin's take profit hit while he was off doing something else - easy peasy.
At 12:54 PM CST, I wrote, "Runner Management: If you exited, keep playing PERFECT CHESS MENTALLY....The mental reps are good. If you went long at the OPEN or the 3M FS FVG at the Bull Bear Strong Level, keep mentally trading this long.
