Hey, it’s Clay from ClayTrader.com — in this live trade video, I’m taking you inside the world of futures trading, capturing my trades as they unfold in real time. These are unscripted, unedited, and packed with lessons about timing, risk management, and staying emotionally disciplined — especially when irritation creeps in! ⚙️ What You’ll Learn in This Video 1️⃣ Futures Trading in Real Time I walk through multiple live trades on gold and the MNQ (Nasdaq futures), explaining entries, exits, and the reasoning behind each move. The futures market is open almost 23 hours a day, 6 days a week — which means I had trades going even before the New York Stock Exchange opened. 2️⃣ Trading Through a Prop Firm If you’re curious about prop firms, how they work, and which one I trade through, I explain the basics. Trading firm capital means you can: Risk very little of your own money Still enjoy huge upside potential You can find full details at the link in the description or the pop-up at the top of the video. 3️⃣ Key Advantages of Futures ✅ No Pattern Day Trading rule ✅ Trade nearly 24 hours a day ✅ Accessible even with smaller accounts 💥 Inside This Trading Session I start the morning already green from overnight gold trades. As the NYSE opens, volatility picks up — and I start stalking new setups. You’ll see me switch between Gold and MNQ, analyze trend lines, and manage shorts and longs while explaining my logic. One early short nets about $175 — a great example of the benefits of starting small and scaling. Later, I test a few quick scalps and trend setups, showing both the pros and cons of staying flexible. The video ends with a real trader moment — feeling irritated after missing an entry, recognizing that frustration, and calling it quits before emotions take over. 💡 Educational Takeaways Start small — flexibility beats ego every time. Never chase revenge trades. Emotional trading = bad decisions. Flexibility is power — small sizing gives room to adapt. Prop firms can unlock more opportunities with less personal risk. Recognize irritation early. Sometimes the best trade is walking away.
