RATE OF CHANGE

 I entered some key data into AI... We have gone up almost 14% in eight weeks and I submitted the question: If this INSANCE rate of change continued, when would ES double... hitting 14,000 

The calculated date was.... September 17, 2026.

Highly unlikely, but then again, this has been an unprecedented move in the history of ES. 

We don't call tops and we don't call bottoms. 

We trade what is in front of us. 

That said, it is highly unlikely this rate of change continues. Eventually, there will be a large consolidation range or a mother of all liquidation breaks. 

RANGES

 if you have been following Micros Trader for any amount of time, you know how well we trade ranges. Last week was a textbook range week, with monster, beautiful trades all week long. 

 I wish every week could be like last week!

 it honestly doesn't get any easier than that.. IMHO. YMMV. 


TIP OF THE DAY

Careful, careful, calling tops... That one thing has destroyed so many people's accounts the last couple weeks. 


QUOTE OF THE DAY

If a man knows not to which port he sails, no wind is favorable. — Seneca
