ES & MES FUTURES TRADE PLAN #385
TODAY'S REVIEW: ES FUTURES
Two 100-Pointers This Week!
Talk about being on the right side of price action this week.
That is the entire purpose of the Battle Plan… looking for the right trades in the right trade locations. If we can keep doing that, the odds of our success dramatically increase.
Thank you for being a member and letting me do what I do.
Now let's get into it.
Battle Plan 5️⃣ for 130-Points
🔥 130+ Pointer for Battle Plan 5️⃣ from Tuesday/Wednesday Battle Plan.
For those trading a cash account or retirement account who can hold a lotto runner overnight… you got paid big time. You had to be up early Wednesday morning to get into the Battle Plan 5️⃣ trade.
In last night's Battle Plan, I wrote about placing your stop behind the apex of Battle Plan 3️⃣… the perfect stop placement for this ES trade idea.
Hold Dat Runner: Learning to hold lotto runners can be the most profitable skill a trader can learn. They are the easiest points you will ever make.
We tend to have one or two Battle Plan trades a week that go 100 points. Here's to looking for the right trades in the right trade locations.
Battle Plan 3️⃣ | Best ES Long
🔥 30-100-Point Runner Battle Plan 3️⃣
For those up late last night… if you survived a double tap OR traded the APEX of this trade, an intra-day 100-pointer was possible. This is worth seeing on your own chart.
For those who took the trade and snagged your profit at the outlined target, a nice 30-pointer.
Battle Plan 2️⃣ ES Long Setup
🔥 50-60 Pointer Battle Plan 2️⃣ Long Trade Idea
Several traders long from Battle Plan 2️⃣… making fat deposits today.
Congratulations, traders.
Battle Plan 1️⃣ | ES Long Setup
Battle Plan 1️⃣ had the target, but entry was difficult.
In the notes for Battle Plan 1️⃣, I wrote, "Any reclaim of the Bull Bear Strong Level should be of interest to longs."
When we were live in the ES Trading Room, I said two things:
1. We would probably reject the Bull Bear line the first time we got close. We mapped out a possible short for the aggressive. Laxmi took that exact killer short and took profit as outlined on Zoom. As a reminder, if you are a member on Zoom and you're in a trade and you want help managing your trade, please don't be afraid to ask.
2. When we take the Bull Bear line, it might be a very explosive move. Boy, was it! Oh well… You can't be in every trade.
Day Before Non-Farm Payroll
Did I mention it was the day before non-farm payroll? Only a dozen times or so. These days get squirrelly… and this one made my case for me.
Your honor, I present Exhibit A.
Tip of the Day
OPEX Friday Is A Spectator Sport:
Options expiration Friday… the standing rule is real money stays home.
Watch it, study it, enjoy it. The weirdest tape of the month owes you nothing.

Scoreboard
Points Accumulated This Week:
Battle Plan: 250+
🔥 100-Point Battle Plan 3️⃣ ES long off the apex of the Battle Plan mapping.
🔥 30-Point Battle Plan 3️⃣ ES long off the suggested entry location.
🔥 50-60 Points Battle Plan 2️⃣ ES Long.
🔥 130+ Points From Wednesday's Battle Plan 5️⃣ Long.
Zoom: 80+
We mapped out a potential short… Laxmi's short we helped manage.
We mapped out a long that went 10 points. Nothing to get that excited about. I told traders they had two choices. Take their 10 pointer or keep their runner back for the bigger move. Unfortunately, you would have needed your stop below the low of the day to catch the monster up move. Oh well, you can't be in every trade.
It was the day before non-farm payroll.
Core Strategy: 85 (For Full Members)
🔥 No trades. It's the day before non-farm payroll.

COMMON QUESTIONS FOR ES FUTURES TRADERS
What is a Bull Bear Strong Level?
A: The Bull Bear Strong Level is the line in the sand on the Battle Plan price map. Trade above it and bulls control the tape. Trade below it and bears hold the edge. In this Battle Plan, the first touch was expected to reject… and the reclaim signaled an explosive long. Watch how price behaves at the line, then act.
What is a lotto runner and why hold one overnight?
A: A lotto runner is a small piece of a winning trade you leave on after taking most of your profit. The risk is tiny because the trade already paid you. Traders who held the Battle Plan runner overnight caught a 130 point move. Learning to hold runners can be the most profitable skill a trader can learn… they are the easiest points you will ever make.
What is the Core Strategy?
A: The Core Strategy is the systematic trading approach reserved for Full Members at Micros Trader. It follows strict rules about when to trade and when to sit out. This week it stood at 85 points… and it took zero trades the day before non-farm payroll. Discipline is the strategy.
Why avoid trading the day before non-farm payroll?
A: The day before the non-farm payroll report, big money steps aside and the tape gets squirrelly. Price whips around without follow-through and stops get hunted. The smart play is smaller size, tighter plans, or no trades at all. Capital preservation wins these days.
Why is OPEX Friday a spectator sport?
A: OPEX Friday is options expiration day, and the standing rule is real money stays home. Expiring contracts push price in strange ways that have nothing to do with clean setups. Watch it, study it, enjoy it… the weirdest tape of the month owes you nothing.
