One Line. One Short. Two Targets. Structure Wins.
The 6852 Line In The Sand
One setup. One short. Two targets. Runner live.
Just structure doing its job.
Yesterday was a perfect example of why I chart the way I do, why levels matter, and why I treat this as a business, not a guessing contest.
The Gameplan laid out the entire sequence before the bell. If you watched the levels, the short was obvious.
And it paid exactly the way it should.

Snag 50% Off Til Dec 6
When I sat down to write the December 1 Gameplan, one thing stood out more than anything else: the 6852 level.
I titled the December 1 Gameplan: “The Structural Hinge Point”
6852.
It wasn’t just another line.
It was the hinge.
The place where control would either shift to buyers or confirm that sellers still had the upper hand. Everything about the setup depended on how price behaved there.
As soon as ES pushed into that band, the hesitation was obvious. Buyers tried. They stalled. They backed off. And once the rejection showed its hand, the short at 6847.25 was simply the next step.
I got short - Filled 6847.25
I wrote in the ESDaily chatroom what I was thinking and ultimately what my position was:
From there, the move unfolded the way clean structure always does.
At 2:33PM, the first target at 6836 came, and that’s where I locked in 70% of the trade.
It wasn’t about being aggressive.
It was about removing emotion and guaranteeing the trade paid, the same way I do every day.
The session ended and I left everything as is.
Overnight, the second target at 6818 filled. - T2
There I took another 20% off.
Left the runner to do its job.
Moved the stop to breakeven
There was nothing dramatic about it.
This was the same playbook I talk about constantly inside the chat: define where you’re wrong, define where you’re right, and let the market prove it.
My stop stayed exactly where it began until T2 was hit.
The structure hadn’t changed.
Only once T2 hit did the stop move to break-even.
Now the runner remains, protected, and it will only trail lower if 6802 is accepted. Until then, the trade is over.
The plan was followed.
Happy to see others in the chat room join me:
The rotation finished.
Structure delivered.
The Hinge did it’s job.
This is why I emphasize preparation.
Why I publish these Gameplans hours before anything happens.
Why I don’t chase.
And why, day after day, the market continues to reward the discipline behind the process.
One line. One short. Two targets.
Let the runner run
Join me and take advantage of the 50% off, now through Dec 6.
Cheers,
