TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES

Futures Trading the Day After a Long Holiday Weekend

As warned, the day after a long holiday weekend rarely offers many opportunities.

Note that today... or tag it as a "Special Day" in your journal.

To me, the following chart sums it up. All over the place and hardly going anywhere.

Extremely mixed indices create high-friction trading with little follow-through.

Right Trade in the Right Location ES Futures

Battle Plan 1️⃣

Battle Plan 1️⃣ delivered a few opportunities in the overnight session.

I took the first opportunity to add to my long from Friday, capturing 50 points in total.

On Zoom, we noted the possibility of a long for Battle Plan 1️⃣.

The Strong Level had held so well overnight. Will it be able to perform again during RTH?

If you want to trade a fresh level, you didn't take it.

The entire goal of the Battle Plan is to seek the right trades in the right trade locations. Mission accomplished.

MES Micros Battle Plan Live Trading Room

Live MES Trading on Zoom

In the Zoom trading room, we relied on our scalping skills for a small short ... entry and exit provided.

Then a nice 10-point long ... entry and exit provided.

And finally... a positional short we discussed in detail for a beautiful 30-plus-point short.
