⚠️ Friday's Recap pointed out that $NQ_F had not broken its Initial Resistance Zone at 29961-30094, and a failure/rejection there could wipe out the $ES_F gains from Friday. It's a good example highlighting the benefit of $NQ_F Zones even if you only trade ES.

$ES_F and $NQ_F Short-term Bias was NEUTRAL today ⚠️ @eminiplayer members were warned in Wednesday's Recap 🔮 25419.25-25514.25 was highlighted as Strong Resistance and a key inflection point in NQ. Failure at that Zone could jeopardize the break-out. RT if U find this helpful

That describes most traders. They invest a lot of time into studying and learning, but struggle to put all their know-how into action, i.e. Execution. That's where Vulcan Trader comes in. It bridges the gap between Knowledge and Execution. ALL P&L is in Execution!

The result of Zero risk management and picking up pennies in front of a steamroller. Risk management and position sizing is KEY 🔑 That’s why risk management and position sizing is fully automated and systematic in Vulcan Trader 🖖

Note that the $NQ_F Short-term Bias was Neutral-Bearish which made for a higher odds Short setup at the 24934-25000 Pre-Market Resistance. Adding NQ to the website will give @eminiplayer members a better understanding of the overall context + opportunities to take setups in NQ.

Today's $ES_F Trade Plan: ☑️ Short-term Bias = Neutral ☑️ ES will need to break below Initial Support as well as 6841-6851 in order for Sellers to be in Control. ☑️ And if ES is going to break lower, ideally Sellers hold ES below the 6886-6898 Pre-Market Resistance 🔮
