In this live futures trading video, I focus on taking a few quick scalps using key support and resistance levels, pullbacks, and changes in momentum. I identify an area where several technical factors line up for a potential bounce, including a previous breakout level and the 50-period SMA. From there, I work through several opportunities, banking three profitable trades before deciding to call it a day.

My first couple of trades are long scalps, taking advantage of price pulling back into the support area and bouncing. I grab a quick $440 on the opening trade, then get another opportunity that brings the running profit to around $780. Nothing too complicated—just looking for smaller moves, managing the entries, and allowing those base hits to add up.

As the market starts moving around more aggressively, I begin watching for additional opportunities in both directions. I consider taking a short before the price reaches my planned entry, but ultimately decide to stick with the original setup. That hesitation turns out to be important. The market bounces instead of continuing lower, and jumping into that early short would have put me in a very uncomfortable position. It's a good reminder that having a plan matters, especially when the temptation to anticipate the next move starts creeping in.

Eventually, the downward momentum becomes much more convincing, and I take a short trade as price moves lower. I do adjust my entry and chase the move a little, but I have a specific reason for doing so based on what I'm seeing in the market. The trade works out nicely, bringing the profit to around $1,340. With three profitable scalps completed, I decide that's enough and call it a session.

There is also a familiar trading lesson at the end: after I exit, the market gives back the entire move, making it tempting to think about how much more I could have made. But hindsight makes every trade look easier than it really was. My goal isn't to catch every last tick. It's to find reasonable opportunities, take the profits when they're there, and avoid turning a good session into an unnecessary risk. Small wins might not look exciting individually, but consistent base hits can add up.

This is genuine live trading, recorded in real time as the trades develop. You'll see the actual setups, missed opportunities, hesitation, and decision-making without a scripted voiceover or knowledge of what happens next.

In this live futures trading video, I take three trades that provide a great real-world example of the trade-offs involved in position sizing, patience, and risk management. I get off to a solid start with an opening scalp, find another short opportunity near the overnight low, and then finish with a long trade that pushes my profits to around $1,000. But the biggest takeaway isn't just the money made—it's how I manage each position and why flexibility can make a difference.

My first trade starts with a potential bounce from a key support area. I get the move I’m looking for, but the price action hesitates more than I’d like, so I take the profit rather than risk the market continuing lower. It’s a good opening trade, even if the entry and exit weren't perfect. For my second trade, I watch the market’s downward pressure and look for a short entry. It takes patience for the setup to develop and my order to fill, but the move eventually comes through, giving me another profitable scalp.

The third trade is where things get especially interesting. I'm watching for a potential bounce near the lows and begin with a smaller position instead of jumping in with full size. When the price doesn't immediately move in my favor, I have the flexibility to add to the position. The bounce eventually develops, and I get the trade up to around $1,000 in profit.

This is a great example of the trade-off between starting with a larger position and giving yourself room to adjust. On my first trade, I started with four contracts, leaving little flexibility to add if the entry wasn't quite right. On the third trade, I started with two contracts, which gave me the option to build the position as the setup developed. If a trade works immediately, starting smaller can mean making less than you otherwise could have. But if the entry needs room to develop, that flexibility can be valuable. Neither approach is perfect for every situation, and that's an important part of managing trades.

After three trades, I'm tempted to look for one more opportunity. But when I see a strong red candle appear just as I'm considering another long, I decide not to push my luck. I've already had a productive session, and there's no reason to give back profits by forcing another trade. I wave the white flag and call it a day.

As always, this is genuine live trading, recorded in real time without a scripted voiceover. You'll see the setups, the waiting, the actual entries, and the decisions as they happen. Trading doesn't always go according to plan, which is why position sizing, flexibility, and knowing when to stop matter so much.

In this live futures trading video, I start the session looking for a potential bounce off the low of the day before shifting my attention to a possible short setup. The market gives me a few different looks, but getting the timing right takes patience. I eventually catch a short trade that puts me up around $825, giving me a nice start to the session.

One of the key things I'm watching is how price reacts around important technical levels. On the two-minute chart, I notice the 21 EMA on the five-minute chart is being respected, which gives me another potential area to watch for a short if price moves back up. But as the market continues to push higher, it becomes increasingly difficult to find an entry that makes sense. Trying to short a market that keeps climbing can be dangerous, while buying after a big move can feel like chasing.

And that's exactly the dilemma I face throughout this session. I keep thinking the price has already moved too far to buy, only to watch it continue higher. At the same time, I recognize that jumping in late just because the market keeps going up isn't necessarily a good trading decision. The same hesitation that keeps me from chasing a move can also mean missing out on additional profits, so it's a balancing act between patience and opportunity.

Ultimately, I decide that protecting the money I've already made is more important than forcing another trade. My hesitation to short the strong upward movement likely saved me from some bad entries, even if it also meant missing potential opportunities on the long side. I finish the session by waving the white flag and calling it a day rather than continuing to trade in conditions that aren't giving me a clear edge.

This is a genuine live trade video, recorded as I'm trading in real time. There is no after-the-fact voiceover pretending I don't know what's coming next. You'll see the actual decision-making process, the waiting, the hesitation, and the moments when the best decision is simply to stay out of the market.

Hypothetical Performance Disclosure: Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. no representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown; in fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk of actual trading. for example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all which can adversely affect trading results.
