OVERVIEW

HOLD THAT RUNNEr

In last night's Battle Plan I wrote, "The proper play here is... if you are already long stay long… or stay flat." (Re-worded for clarity.)

That was true. 

Behold the power of a single runner. 

1 Micro. 

1 Trade. 

21 hours later.

🔥 247 points captured. 

If you did not catch the trade review during the AM Briefing... I highly recommend it. 

Battle Plan

We were no where near a Battle Plan trade idea.

Without outlined Battle Plan trades. It was time for our advanced scalping system... and live price action calling. 

Strong Levels

Beautiful Strong Levels today.

☀️ RTH

Zoom

On Zoom, we outlined this trade that had a beautiful forty-point move. 

We mapped out this trade well before price arrived at the Asia overnight low. 

I provided entry levels between 92 and 88 for those who wanted a first ladder long.

It paid! 

🔥 40+ points.

Congratulations to the traders who took it and held. Beautiful trade.

TIP OF THE DAY

Although sometimes I am a broken record... it is important to hear the basics over and over.

Once you are in a profitable trade, you don't need another trade.

Hold that runner... because no one knows how far price will go.

Yes, it can go 50 points.

Yes, it can go 100 points.

Yes, it can go 200 points.
