Most trading courses teach you patterns and hope you figure out the rest. This one doesn't.

Futures Trading Foundations is an 18-module course that builds your knowledge in the right order — markets, math, risk, chart reading, and system building — and ends with a complete personal trading playbook you have written, tested, and own. The course covers NQ, ES, GC, and related micro contracts. It teaches one setup in full — a rules-based VWAP reversion approach used in professional futures trading — and gives you the framework to build additional setups yourself once the first one is solid. There are no signals to follow, no indicators to memorize, and no shortcuts. What there is: a honest look at the base rates, a complete risk and math foundation, a backtested setup with defined entry rules and a grade scorecard, and a journal system that tells you whether your edge is real. If you want to trade properly, this is how you build the foundation to do it.

WHO THIS COURSE IS REALLY FOR

This course is for you if: ✓ You are a serious beginner who wants to do this properly ✓ You work a job or run a business and need something self-paced ✓ You are willing to learn process before touching real money ✓ You have capital you can genuinely afford to lose ✓ You can be at a screen 9:30–11:30 AM ET at least 3 days a week ✓ You want to build an edge you understand and own This course is not for you if: ✗ You are looking for signals to follow ✗ You want to get rich quickly ✗ You are not willing to do the written work ✗ You need trading income immediately to pay bills ✗ Your schedule does not allow the core trading window ✗ You want someone else to do the trading for you

No Signals. No Guesswork.

You build a rules-based system from scratch — entry criteria, stop placement, position sizing, and a personal playbook you own and trust.

Built for Real Life

Self-paced, designed to fit around a job or a business. The course takes 6–8 weeks at 8–12 hours per week. No live sessions, no deadlines.

One Setup, Fully Owned

You graduate with one completely built and backtested trade setup — not a collection of half-understood ideas, but one edge you have tested yourself.

The Course I Wish Existed When I Started

I spent many years learning futures trading the hard way — courses that oversold the upside, communities full of people selling signals, and enough losing months to understand exactly where retail traders go wrong before they go right. This course is what I wished existed when I started. Not a highlight reel. Not a shortcut. A complete, honest foundation — the math, the risk management, the chart reading, and a real rules-based setup — built in the right order, with gates at every phase to make sure you actually know it before you move on. I built this for people who are serious about doing it properly. If that's you, the course will meet you there. — Your FTF Instructor
