Monday August 25, 2025 📈 Read The Full ES Trade Plan ☀️ TODAY'S SETUPS A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups: MORNING: ES tortured us to another "small range opening"... only 13 points the first 30 minutes. With near 95% laser-like accuracy, a small opening range is rarely worth trading.  My trading platform never opened this AM.  The Battle : YM pushed down, NQ pushed up. ES was stuck in-the-middle.  No trade. No Risk.  "There are easier days to trade." EOD FLUSH:  At 2:17 CST, I posted this message (see below). Once we broke the ONL, I "manned my battle station" and entered a limit order at 55... two points before the Strong Level. It popped nicely. See Video Above. Battle Plan (2️⃣) Battle Plan (2️⃣)         TRADE OF THE DAY  Trade of the Day... was no trade. The EOD Flush long was indeed risky but bounced perfectly.

Monday August 25, 2025 Live Futures Market Prep In Friday’s AM Briefing, Micros Trader urged participants to look beyond surface-level indicators, drawing on a scriptural lesson from 1 Samuel. He recommended traders use the upcoming holiday to extend their break, warning that the first trading day back is often unproductive. Technical analysis centered on the halfback level, which he identified as the critical bull-bear dividing line, alongside key levels such as Friday’s RTH high, overnight low, and recent single prints. Tomorrow marks the 500th episode of the AM Briefing, coinciding with new home sales data and live trade discussions. ☀️ AM BRIEFING Opening Remarks: Seeing Beyond the Visible Micros Trader opened today’s AM Briefing with a powerful scripture from 1 Samuel: “Do not look at his appearance or his stature because I have rejected him. Man does not see what the Lord sees, for man sees what is visible, but the Lord sees the heart.” This pass...

TickTickTrader Prop Firm Review Micros Trader began by reviewing TickTickTrader, a proprietary trading firm that recently caught his attention through an online advertisement. He clarified that this was not a "bash" session, but an honest breakdown of some of the firm’s practices that raised red flags for him. TickTickTrader advertises a 90% payout, but only 50% is cash; the remaining 40% goes into a non-withdrawable "live wallet." Payout Structure Concerns One of the main issues highlighted was the firm’s advertised 90% payout. According to Micros Trader, that figure is misleading. He explained, “You only get 50% in cash, and then wink wink, 40% goes into your live wallet for when you go live.” The "live wallet" funds cannot be withdrawn as cash—something he verified directly with the firm’s support. He emphasized that this critical detail is not clearly disclosed in the firm's documentation and feels it is "blatantly hi...

Thursday August 21, 2025 📈 Read The Full ES Trade Plan ☀️ TODAY'S SETUPS A Recap of Today's Price Action & Battle Plan Setups: Summary: As I wrote yesterday, "Super High energy day… Nice range day… What will tomorrow present??? Probably not a whole lot. Moderate your expectations tomorrow." It was indeed a slop-n-chop fest.  Battle Plan (4️⃣)  presented itself last night. I discussed at length in the AM Briefing . (Time Stamped) Battle Plan (5️⃣)  presented two NICE entries today for great trades.  Battle Plan Longs TRADE OF THE DAY Slop-N-Chop Day. If you took ZERO trades, you are the better for it. That said, the entry we did in the AM (5️⃣)  with the stop under the morning low, could have yielded you 10-25 points depending on your management. Not a bad trade!

ES Futures Trading Room | Thu Technical Analysis For ES Emini and MES Thursday August 21, 2025 Micros Trader's Thursday AM Briefing for August 21st focuses on caution amid a short-term bearish trend in the ES and MES futures markets. Economic data including unemployment claims, PMI, and existing home sales are flagged as key drivers, with market participants also eyeing Friday’s Jackson Hole Symposium. A detailed breakdown of a risky long setup at the 6403 level highlights precise entry and exit logic, though the broader message remains defensive. Until price climbs above 6441.50 with structural confirmation, bear control remains the dominant market tone. ☀️ AM BRIEFING Opening Remarks Micros Trader begins the Thursday, August 21st AM Briefing by grounding the discussion in Romans 12:2: "Do not be conformed to this age but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." This scriptural reference encourages traders to value enduring truth over fleeting per...

Wednesday August 20, 2025 In Episode 496 of the AM Briefing, Micros Trader emphasized the importance of discipline and risk control in futures trading, anchored by the guiding principle of “green over greed.” The session covered strategic trade planning through the “battle plan” framework, stressing key levels like the bull/bear line and RTH low. Technical tools such as fair value gapping candles and leverage-based stop-loss calibration were central to managing entries and exits. With macroeconomic events like FOMC minutes and the Jackson Hole Symposium on the horizon, the focus remained on preparation, mindset, and preserving profitability. ☀️ AM BRIEFING Opening Remarks "Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2) This sets the tone for the day’s trading mindset—focusing on discipline, transformation, and the importance of mental clarity in the market. Trading Philosophy and Discip...
