Where To Go Long... Where To Go Short.
ES & MES FUTURES TRADE PLAN #349
TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES
How Is The Battle Plan Mapped?
Two questions. Every single afternoon.
1. Where are the bulls?
2. Where are the bears?
Then I map out the trades to take advantage of where I believe they live... the location they'll come alive.
Sometimes those locations are a few points away... and sometimes they're a hundred points away.
The longer you trade, the more you learn... the fewer trades you take, the better your results.
We wait for those amazing trade locations where the bulls come alive... and occasionally where the bears do.
Put all of that together... and you've got the Battle Plan.
Thank you for being a member and letting me do what I do.
Battle Plan 1️⃣ ES Long Setup
🔥 20-Pointer ES Long.
Very nice entry and follow through.
If you took profit right before the Strong Level, you had a pretty easy 15-pointer on your hands!
Battle Plan 2️⃣ ES Long Setup
Later in the session ES moved right back to the bottom of the range.
We know what that means!
Range Rules Rule.
Battle Plan 2️⃣ activated.
Then... ES offered great follow through.
The Trump news tweet gave you an instant 20-pointer.
And if you held a lotto runner... price quickly ran to a 40-pointer before pulling back as we round into the power hour.
🔥 30-Pointer... and possibly more!
Bull Bear Line
Last night I wrote, "Bull Bear Strong Level Reclaim Long. Can the bulls do it yet again???? Range Rules Rule."
Boy did they!
Defended EXACTLY where they needed to.
The entire purpose of the Battle Plan is to keep you on the right side of the price action.
Where should we be looking for longs and where should we be looking for shorts — THAT is the question.
Battle Plan 1️⃣ & Battle Plan 2️⃣ Longs
If you got long at Battle Plan 2️⃣, could you have added at Battle Plan 1️⃣?
Yes.
That's the whole idea.
The Right Trade... in the Right Trade Location
Patience PAYS.
There's always a heavy penalty tax for rushing into trades.
Wait for the right trade in the right location... and the market pays you for it.
Tip of the Day
Battle Plan Indicator Updates
Heads up on Battle Plan indicator updates… TradingView has no standard way of pushing them to you.
Every trader seems to have a different experience.
Scott said, "I have to right click the indicator and update, or sometimes delete and re-add. It's not always consistent. It definitely doesn't do it itself though."
Jacky said, "I have to refresh the charts, then click the purple circle next to the indicator."
And some traders report having to pull the Battle Plan indicator off the chart completely and re-add it.
Three traders, three different methods. So if your indicator looks stale, try one of the above. I sure wish TradingView would just push every update automatically instead of making us chase it.

Scoreboard
Points Accumulated This Week:
Battle Plan: 230+
🔥 20-Pointer for Battle Plan 1️⃣. Fairly simple and straightforward.
🔥 30-points for Battle Plan 2️⃣. The bulls defended exactly where we mapped out.
Another banner day for the Battle Plan.
From Darkness To The Light: A new Battle Plan member told me today, "I love the levels. It was like trading in the dark before."
Zoom: 90+
Beautiful, take profit from the 50-point long from yesterday... If you were able to hold.
And then we called a couple quick ten-pointers but you had to be Johnny on the spot to capture those.
Core Strategy: 100+ (Full Members)
I spy several front sides and break levels and one back side long that really paid.
Do your end-of-day charts!

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS
What is a Strong Level in the Battle Plan?
A: A Strong Level is a price where the market has shown it reacts hard. Bulls come alive there... or bears do. It is a spot worth respecting. In today's plan, taking profit right before the Strong Level handed you an easy 15-pointer. Watch how price behaves into these levels. That is where the action lives.
What is the Bull Bear Strong Level?
A: The Bull Bear Strong Level, also called the Bull Bear Line, is the key battleground that separates who is in control. Hold above it and the bulls run the show. Lose it and the bears take over. Last night the call was a Bull Bear Strong Level Reclaim Long... and the bulls defended exactly where they needed to. It is the single most important line on the map.
What is a Lotto Runner?
A: A Lotto Runner is a final contract you hold after you have already booked your base profits and moved your stop to break-even. It carries zero risk. The only question left is how far it runs. Today a Lotto Runner rode from a 20-pointer all the way to a 40-pointer before pulling back. That is the whole point... let one contract chase the big move while the rest of your trade is already paid.
What does Range Rules Rule mean?
A: Range Rules Rule means when price sits inside a defined range, you trade the edges. Buy the bottom... look to book near the top. Today ES moved right back to the bottom of the range and Battle Plan 2 activated. Then it delivered a 30-pointer. When the range is holding, respect it. The edges pay.
What is the Core Strategy?
A: The Core Strategy is the end-of-day charting approach for Full Members. You mark your front sides, your break levels, and your back side setups after the close. It builds the map for the next session. Do your end-of-day charts... that work is what puts you on the right side of price before the market even opens.
MICROS TRADER BASICS
The Lotto Runner
The Lotto Runner is Micros Trader's term for the third contract in the Three Contract System... the one held at break-even after initial profits are secured. With the stop moved to entry, the position carries zero risk. The only question is how far it runs.
Lotto Runners are how Micros Trader traders participate in 100-point-plus moves without giving back what they already made. Members trail the stop behind structure and Strong Levels, letting the market decide how far the runner goes. The system is built to produce consistent base profits on the first two contracts while keeping one contract alive for the occasional large winner.
