In this video, I walk you through a live futures trading session, capturing trades exactly as they happen with no edits, no voiceovers, and no hindsight commentary. Everything you see and hear is recorded in real time, including decision-making, execution, and reactions to fast-moving market conditions. I begin by explaining that I’m trading futures through a prop firm, which allows traders to access the futures markets with relatively small amounts of personal capital while still maintaining significant upside potential. I also touch on why futures are appealing compared to stocks or options, including the ability to trade nearly 23 hours a day, the absence of the pattern day trading rule, and the flexibility to scale risk using different contract sizes like NQ and MNQ. As the U.S. stock market approaches its open, you’ll see how volatility increases and how that impacts trade selection, timing, and risk management. Throughout the session, I take multiple trades focused on scalping, trend continuation, pullbacks, and breakdowns, adjusting position size based on market conditions and recent performance. You’ll see examples of both clean executions and frustrating moments such as platform issues, missed fills, and trades that nearly hit targets before reversing. I openly discuss when I’m confident, when I’m cautious, and when it makes sense to slow down or stop trading altogether. This video is meant to show the reality of live futures trading, not just the wins. You’ll see discipline, patience, mistakes, emotional reactions, and risk management decisions as they actually happen. Whether you’re new to futures, considering a prop firm, or just want to see what real intraday trading looks like behind the scenes, this session offers an honest look at the process.
