HOW TO TRADE MES MICROS Tuesday December 16, 2025 Markets face heightened volatility as year-end institutional withdrawal gives way to small trader-driven action, creating what Micros Trader describes as “level 10 trading conditions.” With delayed non-farm payrolls, upcoming CPI data, and an OPEC meeting all in focus, traders are advised to navigate a well-defined range while closely monitoring the RTH low as a pivotal level. A detailed protocol for adjusting technical levels amid contract rollover was presented, ensuring accurate chart alignment for the new "H" contract.

Be A Professional ES Trader Thursday December 11, 2025 In high-risk markets, professional traders operate with a level of discipline that defies conventional logic. Rather than reacting impulsively to volatility, they apply structured systems that include strict time filters, flowchart-based trading plans, and pre-scheduled time off during chaotic contract rollover periods. Their emphasis is not on prediction, but on preparation—using risk control and data analysis to mitigate emotional trading. This process-driven approach enables consistent decision-making even in "level 10" market conditions where most accounts unravel. 📖 AM Briefing Overview & Key Points - Thursday, December 11th Welcome to AM Briefing #672 for Thursday, December 11th.

Wednesday December 10, 2025 📈 Read The Full ES Trade Plan ☀️ TODAY'S SETUPS A Recap of Today's Price Action & Setups: Battle Plan (2️⃣) presented a couple of long opportunities this AM.   In fact, price "double dipped" and we called two different longs on Zoom. Nothing to write home to mama about because ES was NOT ready to "follow through". A "See Money - Take Money" day.  Well mapped. Just no follow-through.  Today, once again, we focused on trading at the right locations on the chart—that’s half the battle: knowing exactly where you want to engage with price. That’s the very purpose of the Battle Plan. My goal is that it brings calm and clarity to your trading, because when we know where to expect reactions, we can pair that with our Core Strategy for entry. It’s a perfect marriage.
