ES & MES FUTURES TRADE PLAN #348
TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES
Battle Plan 3️⃣ - ES Long Setup
Battle Plan 3️⃣ activated last night during the Asia session — a straightforward entry, right off the NOTES.
🔥 Battle Plan 3️⃣ up 50-points using the 3-Contract System.
Reading the NOTES for Battle Plan 3️⃣ was critical. To be in this trade, you either had to be an international member or burning the midnight oil.
Miss it? No big deal... there's another high-probability trade waiting around the corner.
As I said in the AM Briefing, here's the best move from here: wait for a new entry, and keep mental trading Battle Plan 3️⃣ as if you were holding a Lotto Runner — until that Lotto Runner finally dies. The mental practice never hurts.
Battle Plan 2️⃣
CPI was not easy — it never is.
That said, our Battle Plan played VERY well. We called this entry TWICE today on stream, and multiple traders made nice deposits — daily profit target hit!
🔥 10-pointer for Battle Plan 2️⃣ long... the first time.
🔥 30-points for Battle Plan 2️⃣ long... the second time.
Personally, I took the second entry, not the first. I took this live with you on the live stream. I'm long 7474.25... the exact Bull Bear line... and I'll hold this through the close.
You could still be long from Battle Plan 2️⃣ or Battle Plan 3️⃣. We will discuss runner management in the AM Briefing.
Inside Days
The RTH sessions are stacking inside of each other... two inside days in a row!
Monster move inbound. Hold that runner in case it breaks YOUR direction.
Tip of the Day
As remarked in Battle Plan 3️⃣, with all of your might try and hold a long lotto runner from here!
At least once or twice a week, holding a lotto runner pays very, very handsomely.
We shall see if this is true from the Battle Plan 3️⃣ or Battle Plan 2️⃣ locations

Scoreboard
Points Accumulated This Week:
Battle Plan: 170+
🔥 10-Pointer for Battle Plan 2️⃣ long the first time.
🔥 30-points for Battle Plan 2️⃣ long the second time.
🔥 60-points or more for Battle Plan 3️⃣ long.
A banner day for the Battle Plan.
Zoom: 30+
The encouragement to take Battle Plan 2️⃣ twice this morning on Zoom earns today's Zoom points.
And the encouragement not to be shorting probably deserves way more than I could give it!
Core Strategy: 50+ (Full Members)
CPI Trading. The purpose of Core Strategy is to keep you safe and trading on CPI is hardly "safe".
However, once the 15-point candles calmed down, I spied a couple very simple Core Strategy entries.
Due to the fact we're above the Bull Bear Strong Level line, longs only in my humble opinion, but you do you

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS
What is the Bull Bear Strong Level?
A: The Bull Bear Strong Level is the line in the sand that tells you which side of the trade you belong on. Price above it... you favor longs. Price below it... you favor shorts. In this Battle Plan the line sits at 7574. When we reclaim it, that is a Bull Bear Strong Level Reclaim Long, and the question is always the same... can the bulls do it yet again. Respect this level. It is where control changes hands, and 7574 is a very tricky spot to trade around.
What is a Lotto Runner and why should I try to hold one?
A: A Lotto Runner is your final contract left on after you have already banked profit on the rest. It costs you nothing to hold because your winners already paid for the trade. Once or twice a week, holding that runner pays very, very handsomely. So with all of your might, try to hold a long Lotto Runner from a Battle Plan location. Most days it dies quietly. But when a monster move breaks in your direction, that free runner is the trade that changes your week.
What is Core Strategy?
A: Core Strategy is the Full Member approach built to keep you safe. On a wild day like CPI, safe is hard to find... those 15-point candles will chew you up. So Core Strategy waits. Once the candles calm down, you look for simple, clean entries. And you respect the Bull Bear Strong Level. Above the line, longs only, in my humble opinion. The whole point is protecting your account first and taking the easy trades second.
What is an inside day and why does it matter?
A: An inside day is when the whole regular trading session fits inside the range of the day before. Right now we have two inside days in a row. That is a pressure cooker building pressure. Very tough to map fresh Battle Plan trades inside a coiled range like this. But a large move is inbound. So you hold your runner in case it breaks YOUR direction, and you stay patient instead of forcing a trade that is not there.
MICROS TRADER BASICS
The Three Contract System
The Three Contract System is Micros Trader's position management framework. Enter with three contracts, take profits on two at a defined target, and hold the third as a runner at break-even. This locks in gains while keeping one contract working for the larger move.
The system is designed to produce both consistency and the occasional large winner... what members call the Lotto Runner. A risk-free contract held at break-even with the potential to capture 100 or more points. The Three Contract System is how Micros Trader traders participate in big moves while protecting what they already made.
