In this live futures trading session, Clay takes you inside a real-time look at his screen as he navigates a fast-moving market using both standard and micro contracts. He begins by explaining two key points: he trades futures, and he does so through a prop firm — a setup that allows traders to limit personal capital risk while still capturing meaningful upside. With the futures market running 23 hours a day, Clay starts the morning already green from overnight activity, setting the stage for his first trade opportunity. The video kicks off with a breakout setup that quickly moves in his favor, giving him the chance to trail his stop and lock in a clean $190 gain using the slower-moving micro contracts. Clay reflects on the give-and-take of contract selection, noting how the larger NQ contracts could have delivered a much bigger win — but also ten times the potential downside. As the session continues, Clay switches between long and short setups, always starting small to maintain flexibility in case the market turns. You’ll see both smooth scalps and imperfect executions, including a funny “missed-click moment” that every trader can relate to. He also breaks down how volatility shifts, where momentum appears, and why starting small can be a powerful advantage when conditions are uncertain. By the end of the morning, Clay stacks multiple small wins to finish over $700 in just 15 minutes of trading. He closes out with an honest message about avoiding comparison traps, keeping perspective on daily gains, and maintaining gratitude — especially in a world where social media often distorts what “good trading” looks like. If you enjoy watching genuine live trading with full transparency, this session captures the real rhythm of a futures trader managing risk, adapting to price action, and maximizing opportunity without unnecessary force.
