MES Micros Trading System

Today's Review

OVERVIEW

Right Side of Price Action

In last night's Battle Plan ... I remarked that we were probably going to gap down over the first two Battle Plan trade ideas. 

We did. 

We also only mapped out longs... Providing entries, plus add-ons and targets 

The ultimate "Take Profit" target: I wrote, "Look to add to your winning trade... targeting the "2026 RTH Open 6902" price."

After the sizable gap down, this upside target seemed to be a low-probability target.

We laddered up and up and up.

Being on the right side of price action surely makes trading more pleasant.

ES Emini Daily Trade Plan Congrats to Daron who wrote this afternoon, "Just set my stop at 6897.75 to lock in a total of 100pts between 2 contracts. This will be my first 100 pointer!"

πŸŒ™ OVERNIGHT

Battle Plan 3️⃣: 120-pointer

Nice entry last night!

Congrats to all the traders who took the entry as outlined. Some traders added to their trade - Shout out to Daron & Scott for adding to their winning trade!!

Then... ES gave us a beautiful move to the north.

All you had to do is hold a runner and walk from the chart.

Once again, we were looking for the right trades and the right trade locations. If you can do that often enough, the odds of success dramatically tilt in your favor.

Congratulations to the traders who traded long per our Battle Plan and resisted any urge to short or call a top.

Today's trading was a shining example of why we trade the way we trade.


☀️ RTH

I offered two friendly pieces of advice.

Hold that runner.

and....

Do not short this.

Not horrible trader-to-trader advice.

You are the pilot of your trading aircraft, and I am just the navigator helping you stay safe and be profitable. 


TIP OF THE DAY

Never counter a short-covering move barreling towards the prominent POC/Gap Fill. 


QUOTE OF THE DAY

Let the setup come to you — not the other way around.


TRADE OF THE DAY

BATTLE PLAN

 

πŸ”₯ Battle Plan 3️⃣ for 120+ points!

πŸ”₯ Battle Plan 2️⃣ did not offer as smooth an entry, but certainly performed in the direction as intended. 

πŸ”₯ Battle Plan 1️⃣ performed very well for a 60+ point move.

ZOOM

 

On Zoom, traders were encouraged to... hold that runner!

And... Do not short this!

Although ZOOM shows zero points... the value of being on ZOOM today is nearly impossible to calculate.

Not all profit is calculated in points!

Educational Purposes Only: Not Financial Advice

I'm not a financial advisor (never played one on TV either). These trade ideas are educational training tools showing where price may react... nothing more. Always wait for your own confirmation before executing. These levels represent one trader's analysis, not personalized trading advice.


The Battle Plan:

OVERVIEW

After a 120+point monster rally arriving back at the "2026 RTH Open 6902" and the daily trend line, there's just not a lot here at this trade location.

Seems like every day last week I was talking about ES tagging back up at 6,902. Now we have done it. 

With the massive end-of-day spike... I'm not touching this with a 10-foot pole. 

No Battle Plan trades will be outlined. 

KNOW WHEN TO STAND DOWN!

Battle Plan Notes:

Step 1 NADA
Step 2

Step 3 NADA

Nothing here should be taken as personalized trading advice. Always trade based on your own confirmation — these trade ideas simply one trader's opinion - they are just "trade ideas".
