From first contract to a written, tested trading plan, with the full toolkit around it

The Micro E-mini Starter Playbook teaches the contract math, sessions, trend context, three written setups and sizing. The Complete Program goes much further: platform and order-entry drills, more setups, trade management, journal analytics, a 90-day paper plan, 30 annotated session case studies and a weekly context report.

Why this exists

Futures reward preparation and punish improvisation. Most new micro traders know a setup or two but have no plan for order entry, trade management, report days, daily limits or the weeks when nothing works.

This program is built around the full workflow: prepare the day, write the plan, place the order cleanly, manage the trade, log it, and review the numbers. It uses MES, MNQ, MYM and M2K for the examples. All dollar figures are contract-math illustrations.

What the $997 version adds to the $297 course

Everything in Micro E-mini Starter Playbook is included. Then:

Platform, order types and execution drills

Market, limit, stop, bracket and OCO orders, slippage, and simulator drills so entering and exiting is routine before real money is ever involved.

Six more written setups and a news-day plan

Prior-day level tests, gap-open days, range days, failed-breakout reads and a clear plan for report days, in addition to the three Starter setups.

Trade management and journal analytics

Stops, partial exits, time stops, R-multiples, expectancy and sample size, with a workbook that calculates them from your own journal.

Four index micros, not two

MES and MNQ plus MYM (Micro Dow) and M2K (Micro Russell 2000), with tick values side by side.

A 90-day paper plan and capstone

A structured paper-trading plan with weekly checkpoints, ending in a written trading plan you submit for feedback.

30 annotated session case studies

Real past sessions on MES and MNQ, including quiet days, failed setups and days to stand aside.

Weekly Micro Futures Context Report

26 weekly reports: last week's ranges and key levels, the coming week's event calendar and a rule-review prompt. It describes; it gives no trade calls.

Monthly live case-study session

Six live sessions where we walk through member-submitted paper trades and past sessions. Recordings are posted for replay.

Weekly Micro Futures Context Report

26 weeks. Prior-week ranges and key levels for the index micros, the upcoming event calendar and a weekly rule-review prompt. Descriptive only: no signals, no trade calls.

Who it is for

  • You know stock or options charts and want a complete, structured path into Micro E-mini futures
  • You want drills, templates and a review process, not just lessons
  • You want to practice on a simulator for 90 days before any real-money decision

Who it is not for

  • You want signals or someone to tell you what to trade
  • You want a promise of results; nobody can give you one
  • You have never looked at a candlestick chart

What it is not

The risks, stated plainly

Futures are leveraged and can lose more than the money in an account. A stop can be gapped through or filled at a worse price. Every dollar figure is a contract-math illustration, not a forecast. Hypothetical and simulated results have limits and do not predict real results.

Questions

Do I need a futures account?Not to take the course. The 90-day plan uses a simulator (paper-trading) account, which many brokers and platforms offer.How is this different from the $297 Starter Playbook?The Starter Playbook covers the contract math, sessions, trend context, three setups, sizing and a 30-day paper plan. The Complete Program adds execution drills, more setups, trade management, journal analytics, a 90-day plan, 30 case studies, a weekly report and live sessions.Does it tell me what to trade?No. It teaches mechanics, risk arithmetic and how to write and test your own rules on paper.
