Do Less, Get More
I get a lot of feedback that sounds like:
“Just give me the opportunities.”
And I get it.
But — if you’ve been reading ESDaily long enough, you know I’m not just here to hand out entries.
I’m here to show you why they matter — and how they build on each other.
What happened Monday wasn’t random.
It was a continuation of Friday.
Which was a continuation of the Thursday before that.
These levels don’t reset.
They evolve. They get tested. Flushed. Reclaimed. Rejected.
They are building blocks, each one matters.
And the way they come together matters.
That’s why I walk through context before I list the trade opportunities.
Because if you don’t understand the cadence of how price moves, you’ll never trust the setups when they show up.
That said — I’ve included scroll links below if you’re short on time.
But if you’re serious about getting better, don’t cut yourself short by being lazy and just firing away.
I write not to hand out trades and create dependency. I write to educate how ES builds structure.
Today, a major lesson in building blocks.
What happens when each block remains present for too long?
What happens when ES sticks in range for too long?
What happens when we need a total structure rebuild?
What happens to our Grade A+ opportunities?
Yesterday in “Same Levels, New Intentions” I highlighted key areas — including 5878 and 5935.
These were yesterday’s building blocks and yesterday’s longs.
Each worked well.
Let’s recap what I said:
👉 5878 — The Trap Door
Held as resistance on May 12 → support on May 15 → resistance again on May 22.
Then flipped to support again on May 26, May 27, and early on May 30.
I’ve called it a “line in the sand” — and on Friday, it did its job… until it didn’t.
Buyers defended it twice. But after the failure to hold 5893 and rejection at 5911, all eyes shifted back here.
Once it cracked — no hesitation. The flush confirmed the shift.👉 5935 — The Trap Line
It’s been a bull bait level since May 21.
Reclaimed? Yes. Held? Rarely.
On May 22–24, it capped upside.
On May 28–30, it became the ultimate test: does demand mean anything?
That line played out over and over.
Price reclaimed 5935 just long enough to pull in buyers… only to reverse.
I’ve written about these levels over and over the past few weeks — not because they’re magic numbers, but because they reflect how the market organizes itself around liquidity.
They’ve shown up in nearly every Gameplan since mid-May.
And not just mentioned — mapped, traded, reviewed, respected.
That’s what made Monday’s price action so straightforward —
if you were patient.
The early long from 5870 worked because it followed a clear flush-reclaim sequence.
We failed below 5878 into 5872, found demand above 5866, and fired.
If you took it, great.
If you didn’t?
The job wasn’t to force something in chop.
It was to wait for your setup.
Price rotated back inside a congested range — and just sat there.
No breakdown. No reclaim. No edge.
But nearly 12 hours later, we got it — a breakout from structure and a clean reclaim setup at 5933.
Let’s break them down.
