Futures trading is speculative, involves a high degree of risk and is not suitable for every investor. You should carefully consider whether trading is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources and other relevant circumstances. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

📊 Our Strategy: Forecast Behavioral Patterns First. Trade with Precision.
At the core of our trading success is a proprietary, battle-tested forecasting method we call “The Market Map.” It blends Elliott Wave Theory, behavioral market psychology, fibonacci sequencing, and years of refined analysis to project short- and intermediate-term movements in the S&P 500 Futures (ES).
🔍 The Process
Forecast First:
Each morning, we publish an updated SPX market outlook with clear directional bias, target levels, and timeframe expectations. These updates are the result of a behavioral pattern model we’ve evolved since 2009, delivering consistently accurate market reads.Behavioral Precision:
Rather than relying on lagging indicators, we focus on contrarian sentiment shifts, pattern recognition, and psychological pivot zones—often identifying turning points before the crowd sees them.From Map to Trade:
Once the “map” is set, we scan for high-probability inflection zones. When price hits a forecasted pivot with confluence, we issue a real-time alert—complete with guidance, directional context, and trade management insights.
🧠 Why It Works
This strategy doesn’t follow the herd. It anticipates where the market is likely to go next, based on crowd behavior, wave structure, and momentum flow. The result?
More conviction. Fewer distractions. Better trades.

April 8th 2022 sample ES Long trade: Advised at 4495 pre market to wait to enter long at 4473-4478 ranges. We hit 4475 and went long, 40 point move up shortly thereafter. All of my market maps and trade alerts are based on my recipe for human behavioral patterns after 20 years of working in this area.
Micro Mini Trading of ES Futures-
Suggested minimum account size is $5,000 for Micro Mini’s, preferably $10,000 plus.
If just starting , I suggest trading 1 Micro contract per $5,000 of equity in an account. This allows scaling in and scaling out of positions using swing trading tactics deployed in our others services (3x ETF and Stock Trading).
Sample 11/5/2021, SP 5oo at 4700 $5x 4,700 is $2,350 contract size per Micro Mini
1 Micro Mini is $5 per SP 500 point movement. Each 1 point move in SP 500 is $5. If we have a 30 point move in our favor its $150 of gain or near 7% profit as of Nov 2021 numbers.
Micro E-Mini based accounts ($5 per 1 point move in SP 500) best for smaller sized accounts.
Sample if SP 500 is at 5000 each contract is $2,500 in value
At 1/10th the size of a classic E-mini contract, Micro E-mini futures give all traders a simple, cost-efficient way to access the liquid equity index futures markets. Each 1 point move in the SP 500 is a $5 move in the Micro E-Mini.
Tax Favorable treatment on trades combines Short Term and Long Term Capital gains rates for a blended rate of around 19%. (60% taxed at Capital Gains rate and 40% at Ordinary Income rates)
Sample Trade 2/18/20-2/19/20
