In this live futures trading video, I capture my trades as they unfold in real time, sharing my thought process, execution, and risk management along the way. This is not a voiceover or hindsight analysis—everything you see and hear happens live as the market moves. I’m trading futures around the 9:30am ET open, when volatility increases as the U.S. stock market opens, and you’ll see how quickly futures can move during that transition. I also explain how I trade futures through a prop firm, specifically Take Profit Trader, and why I personally use and recommend them. Prop firms allow traders to access significant buying power while risking very little of their own capital, and Take Profit Trader stands out due to its clean rule set, daily payout structure, and beginner-friendly approach to funded trading. In this video, I demonstrate how futures contracts like NQ and MNQ work, why contract selection matters, and how switching to micros can help manage risk after a strong move. Throughout the session, I react to fast market conditions, manage platform delays, take profits, cut risk, and ultimately protect gains—giving you a realistic look at what live futures trading is actually like. If you’re new to futures, interested in prop firm trading, or want to see real-world execution without editing or hype, this video offers a transparent look into the process. If you’re a beginner or struggling trader, be sure to check out my free live online webinar linked below, where I break down the futures market and trading approach step by step.
