Who the course is designed for

The course is intended for day traders seeking a more manageable routine, futures traders interested in index markets and aspiring prop firm traders preparing for evaluations. It also addresses part-time traders with full-time jobs, investors exploring active futures markets and entrepreneurs interested in trading alongside other commitments.

Day trading futures fundamentals

The foundation section introduces day trading, how futures markets work and the course’s two-hour trading approach. It explains contract specifications, margin requirements and tick values, with attention to ES, NQ and other popular futures markets.

Lessons also discuss trading benefits and risks, setting expectations and avoiding early mistakes. An introduction to proprietary trading firms explains how they provide capital to traders.

Market analysis and trading strategies

The strategy section begins with reading price action, identifying trend direction and interpreting market structure. It covers moving averages, volume profiles, RSI and VWAP as tools for analyzing potential setups.

• Momentum trading: identify strong market moves and consider risk and reward when trading them.
• Bull and bear flags: recognize continuation patterns on charts.
• Gap fills: examine overnight gaps and the market’s movement into price inefficiencies.
• 15-minute opening range: study the first 15 minutes after the market opens.
• Breakouts: use support and resistance levels to identify breakout patterns.
• Chart patterns: recognize head and shoulders, double tops and bottoms, triangles and other formations.

Trade entries, management and exits

Execution lessons address the conditions used to time entries and manage open positions. They cover adjusting stops, scaling into and out of trades, and protecting gains.

The course introduces the Little Yellow Line, a proprietary visual method for entry and exit decisions. It also examines profit targets, holding for larger moves, cutting losses and distinguishing consolidation from a trend.

Risk management and trading psychology

The risk framework covers position sizing and stop placement, including the course’s guideline of risking no more than 1–2% of capital on a trade. A contract sizing calculator uses account size and risk tolerance to determine contract quantity.

Psychology lessons address fear, greed, FOMO and revenge trading. They also focus on patience, waiting for high-quality setups, avoiding overtrading and maintaining an objective mindset after wins or losses.

Building and testing a trading plan

A trading-plan template helps organize a strategy, trading rules, risk parameters and goals. The course explains how to backtest a strategy against historical data before putting real money at risk.

A 10-step morning routine covers preparation, setup identification and execution. A bonus module addresses preparation for evaluations with firms including APEX, TopStep and Earn2Trade.

Live trade breakdowns

In-depth live trade breakdowns connect the lessons to market conditions and the constraints of live trading. They show entry calls and their reasoning, trade management, profit and loss outcomes, and lessons from each trading day.

The examples include both winning and losing trades so learners can examine how the approach performs across different outcomes.
