One Plan. One Trade. Four Targets.
How one shelf flush turned into four targets. Every move planned and confirmed in real time.
Preparation Comes First
Trading isn’t about reacting to every tick.
It’s about showing up with a plan and displaying the patience to wait for it.
On this day, the level was already drawn before the bell.
In the morning Gameplan, published at 5AM, I wrote:
“Yesterday’s low at 6490.25 is the first fresh liquidity shelf beneath current price. If ES flushes that level and reclaims fast, it’s actionable as a failed breakdown… That’s where the deeper shelf at 6485–6480 comes in.”
Members woke up with that exact level on their charts, hours before the open.
This wasn’t hindsight.
Members saw this level before the bell in the ESDaily Gameplan (delivered 5AM)
Why Most Traders Lose Here → Overtrading Chop
At the bell, ES did nothing.
A grinding back-and-forth 8-point opening range.
There was little to do.
Participating inside such a narrow, choppy box is exactly where most traders overtrade and bleed out.
Inside the private ESDaily chatroom (where members get my live updates), I noted there was no reason to participate yet. The shelf at 6490 was already drawn in the Gameplan.
The job was to wait for it.
By late morning, ES gave the flush.
Price stalled just above 6490 for ~10 minutes and I did not do anything.
I waited.
Preparation Meets Opportunity
The Desired Price Behavior
When I entered, I noted it in the chatroom.
Only after ES flushed did I step in.
I updated members I had just initiated a long position at 6491.75.
I noted my entry precision once divergence developed on the flush of the area and shared this chart with subscribers as a tool.
You can see I was looking for a deeper flush in the Gameplan as there was no divergence, when it appear - That’s when I fired an order to my broker.
And for full transparency, I shared the broker text confirmation so members could see the trade was live.
From there the plan unfolded like clockwork.
🎯 Target 1 (+12 points) Quick Win, Risk Reduced
T1 at 6503 came within 11 minutes (+12 points).
I took 65% off and banked the quick win.
As the targets were hit, I updated everyone and shared the confirmations.
🎯 Target 2 (+21 points) Patience Unlocks More
Momentum extended into the afternoon, tagging 6512 for T2 (+21 points).
Another 20% was taken off to lock in profits.
The stop moved to breakeven.
And another runner added to the stack…
Again, confirmation was shared live so members knew exactly what I executed.
🎯 Target 3 (+34 points) Structure Confirmed
As the session closed, ES pushed through the 6524 CA, another key area we discussed inside the Gameplan and chat.
Another piece was scaled off, with broker confirmation shared in real time.
I took a 3rd target 5 minutes before the bell as ES popped above the 6524 CA
🎯 Target 4 (+71 points) Letting the Runner Work
The last 5% runner was left to work.
The next few days ES gained traction and I let the runner do what it was designed to do — lock in more gains.
On Sept 11, ES stretched all the way to 6562.25, where I issued a final closing order to my broker. Once again, the broker confirmation was posted to members
Winners Stay Patient
Preparation: The 6490 shelf was drawn before the open.
Patience: Nearly six hours of waiting before entry.
Risk Management: Reduced Risk ASAP - Scaled exits, stop to breakeven. Never exposed and never suffocated the trade.
Transparency: Every entry and exit backed up with broker text confirmations.
Structure: A clean failed breakdown at a liquidity shelf with momentum confirmation.
One Trade Can Be Enough
Most traders overtrade.
This day was a reminder: one disciplined trade can be all you need.
Four targets.
+71 points.
Full transparency.
This is how I trade: structure first, execution second, patience always. I deliver the setups each morning in the ESDaily Gameplan.
I hope you’ll join me
Cheers,
