What’s going on guys so if you’re watching this video you’re probably a beginner to Futures Trading and I’m going to let you in on some of the things I wish I knew in the beginning because I lost a lot of money in the beginning like most people do when they jump into Futures what was even worse for me was I was a profitable options Trader for I don’t know 15 years before I jumped into Futures and I was still not profitable

When I first got into it so don’t feel like you’re alone I’m going to go over a couple things that are going to help you out if you want I trade live every day on YouTube click below subscribe uh I don’t have anything to sell you there’s no course I sell you there’s no Discord I sell you everything I have is free uh if you comment or come in the live stream and ask questions I get back to everybody cuz I

Feel like that’s what this is about to help others out so couple of things if you’re jumping into Futures I suggest you jump into prop firms uh only because for about 30 bucks you can go get an apex account they give you $2500 and most likely you’re going to end up blowing the first accounts so if you blew say four of your first accounts that would have been $110,000 of your real money instead it only equates only $100 of real money

But it gave you 10,000 ,000 doll to kind of play around with and test strategies out so the first thing I would do I in the description of the video I have coupon codes discounts for all different firms I suggest going with one that was inexpensive uh probably like Apex um you know I’m just being honest with you you’re probably going to blow the first couple you know just even if you have all the right indicators the mental game of trading

And not going on tilt is where Traders develop from not profitable to profitable but I have a ton of videos I’m not going to go over everything on the stream on the the video right now but I have different win rate videos for trading view indicators um this 94% win rate is based on hourly sweeps you’ll definitely want to watch that one I would watch um all these win rate videos I have and then I have uh orb videos where I

Go over the 15minute orb strategy that I use um I also have uh the 60-minute orb or the imbalance that strategy I use but I have a lot I got the opening range strategy so all these things are things that you should definitely watch after listening to this video um this is basically an introduction to Futures what you should be doing um saving money accounts that you should get um you know it it’s the indicators that I throw on by the

Way I use the EMAs I have the 34 which is the green line I use this which is the nine which goes over Trends the red one is the 105 which is actually the uh 21 on the five and then I have vwap on there I would recommend you getting trading view so this is trading view that I have as you see I have multiple tabs that have multiple types of information on them and this is so you get an overall

View of the market this tab I have I have five minute this is the 15 the hourly I leave fair value gaps on there um I leave three bar reversals so these are three bar reversals catches the top right there catches the top right there catches the bottom on the way back up uh same here you can see you know I have them on here you got to remember also what is going on in the market as well there’s always a

Bias to the day depending on news and what’s going on um but yes highly recommend you getting trading view I use fair value gaps support and resistance and these are all the different tabs that I have you definitely want previous week low previous day high things like that I have it all mapped out in those videos that I showed you but I know everything seems overwhelming you’re probably like oh my God there’s so much information take it easy get one account

Trade micros most likely one to three micros that will allow you to test your strategy or strategies and it’ll test your mental game where if you get a losing strategy what are a losing trade what are you going to do if you get three losing trades what are you going to do how your mind reacts to losing is kind of where you know you going to have to build up because you are going to take losses in this game you know

Even if you follow a strategy no strategy is 100% honestly you get a strategy that’s like 80% win rate that’s amazing super amazing um the problem is it will lose 20% of the time so it might lose two two times in a row you know the strategies are built over time so if you continue doing the same thing day in and day out over time you’re going to be profitable so there are going to be Peaks where hey it hits might

Hit 10 times in a row and then it might not hit four times in a row how you react and how you trade uh to that is growing as a Trader and it’s basically taking the emotion out of it and just sticking to your rules don’t Revenge trade don’t do things like that but there’s so much information that you should learn before jumping in um you should definitely like I said paper trade maybe get an apex account get a a low

Value uh low value account test the waters out I would probably say learn one or two strategies and stick to that and then once you kind of I don’t want to say master that but get comfortable trading those strategies you then progress to the next so I always tell people that I would start off with the 15minute orb strategy um and the hourly strategy and that’s probably the easiest to trade um I have pivot Points on here as well you can

See all my indicators right here um just a 15minute orb for support you know you get a lot of uh liquidity sweep so like right here you swept the low so that’s quick liquidity sweep and then you come back through that’s the trade you want to be taking is on the way back through same thing happened here that would have been two winners you would have been done for the day um so yeah so there’s a lot of there’s a lot

Of different strategies a lot of different things out there I would take it slow I would learn the 15minute orb strategy then I would move to the 60 minute which is very similar and then once you have that you start throwing in some pivot Points you throw on vwap you know and then you start throwing in your moving averages and I feel like you got a good foundation to start growing and then you could start sprinkling in uh you know breaker

Blocks uh you know I have uh hourly sweeps session sweeps things like that that you can start adding to your toolbox cuz all these trades are not going to be in the beginning of the market some might be towards the end of the day some might be only when the new hour changes so there’s a lot of different trades that could happen through the day um like I said highly recommend you going through my videos look at it I have the

Discord Link in the description maybe go over there ask questions come on the live stream watch me trade ask questions why I’m trading why I’m doing certain things and then start from there and that’s would be how I would begin my Futures day trading journey and not just trying to trade by myself blowing accounts um so hopefully this little video helps you out and guides you in the right direction and uh if you have any questions comment below
