Late Day ES Futures Trade Using Supply & Demand Low Risk, High Probability

How Professional Traders Structure Low-Risk MES Futures Trades

Want to know how professional traders approach low-risk E-mini S&P (MES) futures trades? In a recent breakdown from Mitch Firestone of Precision Trading Labs, we get an inside look at a real ES futures trade executed with precision and discipline.

Late in the trading session, Mitch identified a high-probability setup using supply and demand zones on a 3-minute chart. These zones are formed by the exhaustion of sellers and buyers, giving traders clear areas to enter, manage risk, and take profits.

Here’s what makes this trade a textbook example of structured, low-risk trading:

Understanding Demand & Supply Zones

* Demand Zones: Form when sellers exhaust themselves and buyers step in. This is where price is likely to reverse upward.

* Supply Zones: Form when buyers run out of steam and sellers take over, creating potential resistance areas.

Step-by-Step Trade Execution

1. Entry Point: Mitch showed exactly where to enter the trade based on the demand zone.

2. Stop Placement: Stops are carefully positioned to define risk clearly and protect capital.

3. Risk Management: This trade risked 32 ticks ($40 per micro contract), with a target of 64 ticks, creating a clean 2:1 risk-to-reward ratio.

4. Profit Taking: Profits were taken where opposing supply existed, ensuring rules-based exits and reducing emotional decision-making.

 This approach demonstrates how supply & demand trading can simplify decision-making, even late in the trading day. By following a structured, repeatable process, traders can maintain consistency, confidence, and controlled risk.
