S&P Micro Futures (MES) Trade Explained | 3:1 Supply & Demand Setup

Dec 19, 2025

Why Your Trades Are Failing (And How to Fix It with MES Supply & Demand)

Most traders struggle because they react to the market instead of planning for it. Precision Trading Labs shows a better way: patient, rule-based trading using Micro S&P 500 (MES) futures.

In a recent trade, Mitch Firestone used a Drop-Base-Rally setup to turn a $58 risk per contract into a $470 profit — all without chasing the market. As Mitch says: 

"We don't chase moves—we wait for the price to come to us."

 

Key Lessons for Traders

* Precision: Identify where price is likely to bounce weeks in advance.

* Discipline: Enter and exit trades based on logic, not emotion.

* Scaling: Micro Futures allow for repeatable, consistent gains with controlled risk.
