MES MICROS TRADE PLAN Small Range Alert, the Knife Catching Warning, and Why Trade Location Always Wins Posted: Tuesday June 02, 2026 ☀️ AM BRIEFING Tuesday's ES futures morning briefing opened with a full review of Monday's high-energy session — a London short, a Battle Plan long that paid 40-plus points on Trump/Iran news, and an overnight positional short George was still holding heading into the RTH open.

That said… at least we were looking for the right trade in the right trade location - the entire purpose of the Battle Plan. If you wer...

With new all-time highs stacking up and a chaotic overnight session full of wicks and near-15-point candles, George flagged the risk of a liquidation break as very high heading into a news-heavy week. Non-Farm Payroll hits Friday and JOLTS is tomorrow — your ES futures daily trade setups this week need to account for that. The best MES micro futures trade plan entries are sitting below current price, and getting greedy for lower is the right call. Trading Psychology: Suffer Until You Change George opened with a tip from Jesuit priest Anthony De Mello — and it hit hard. "If you're suffering and not willing to do anything about it, you need to suffer more. Suffer until you get sick of it." That's not cruelty. That's how m...
