Daily ES Trade Recap and PriceTrader
ESDaily is a focused daily newsletter for S&P/ES futures traders, centered on price action. I’ll dive into charts, key daily levels, and create an actionable trade plan for the day. The goal is to offer a clear and transparent look into the daily routine of a professional trader.
ESDaily was initially designed to be a personal journal of sorts. One where I could reduce trading time and write out thoughts clearly to ensure emotion was eliminated from the actions, as much as possible. I found sharing these with others was useful, educational, and informative. So I’ve decided to make this journal public and publish it each day.
Fact: Few traders show the level of precision and transparency you’ll find here.
But why?
I don’t know more than anyone else. I’ve never “beaten” the market. I never know where price is going.
The difference? I respect price—and I trade around what it tells me.
——————————————————————————————————————
📝 1) Every day, I write 3–4 Grade A+ Opportunities
These are setups with conditions. I spell them out. “Price does this, looks like that, and must hold here — not there.”
🔔 2) I preframe and alert live
When a trade triggers, I tell subs exactly what price behavior is required. I share my targets, live. I don’t try to create dependence. I spend a large percentage of my day actually responding to inbox messages. I care that people actually learn.
🎯 3) I show receipts
Every single trade includes screenshot confirmation of my entries and exits. I never suggest something I’m not willing to do myself.
✍️ 4) I review everything
This isn’t a signal room. It’s my trade journal. I write ~5,000 words per day. I review every trade—especially the losers. Just as athletes build muscle for the field — I build a muscle in trade requirements and structure understanding. I offer access for people to learn with me.

You can read the ESDaily newsletters and see all trade opportunities written out, in sequential order: “If price comes here, these are what I need to have happen.”
“If that doesn’t happen we need to look below. I’d need to see these things happen.”
Some we can trade, others we have to wait for.
You can read the ESDaily newsletter and see every opportunity written out in order. 3–4 per day. Some we take. Some we skip. There were 4 no-trade days in May.
Here are the May results:
✅ 28 trades taken
✅ 24 winners
❌ 3 losses
➖ 1 breakeven
📊 Win rate: 85.71%
It’s not luck.
It’s structure.
It’s taking T1 every time.
It’s risk management—always.
It’s discipline.
I don’t chase —> I don’t need home runs —> I participate in the big moves with runners.
If I mess up—I write about it.
That’s the edge.
I’m a trader who writes. Not a writer who trades.
🔍 Be careful who you follow.
🎧 Be careful who you listen to.
🤝 Find someone who’s transparent—someone who spends more time on their losers than their wins.
🎁 Find someone who gives more than they ask for.

I didn’t take a single trade today.
Just let my runners run.
✍️ The Gameplan was written, and I talked about the likelihood of this happening this morning.
I just followed a plan.
—————————————
People get weird about P&L. But here’s the truth:
P&L - It’s just a side effect. It’s a derivative of strategy, execution, and risk management -and I rarely focus on it.
—————————————
What I am showing you is how powerful it is to:
✅ Stick to structure
✅ Let winners work
✅ Stay out of the way
—————————————
This is what happens when self-control wins out over ego/greed.
I trade the exact same setups I write about.
I’m a trader who writes.
ESDaily is my diary

P.S.
We can’t control anything in the markets except for two things:
Our risk
Our dedication to taking profits and remaining on autopilot
Let’s do that.
