Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test before you trade.
Pick a tutorial
Opening-range breakout (MNQ)
Beginner. Buy Micro Nasdaq when price breaks the first 15-minute high,
then add a filter that only trades on a wide opening range.
Buy the dip (MNQ)
Beginner. One mean-reversion rule, no indicators — buy a 1% drop below
yesterday’s close, then keep it to the morning only.
EMA cross with stop and target (ES)
Intermediate. An EMA crossover entry with a dollar stop and profit
target, so you control risk on every trade.
Trend pullback with adaptive risk
Intermediate. A daily-trend regime, an RSI pullback entry, and
ATR-based stops that adapt to volatility.
Spread z-score, COT and correlation
Advanced. Trade ES, gated by an ES-NQ spread z-score reversion signal, a
Commitment-of-Traders positioning filter, and a rolling correlation gate.
