I trade index futures.

NQ and ES, every session, from Vancouver. I read the premarket, write the plan, and trade it. No signals, no noise.

Method

The exact routine I run before every session: the read, the levels, the setups, and the risk rules.

The letter

This is The Open.

Each week I write up what I'm watching in the NQ and ES: the levels that matter, the setups I'm stalking, and the read going into the open. Plain language, no hype, and nothing to sell you. If you want the premarket thinking without the noise, this is it.

First principles.

01

Risk comes first.

I decide what I'm willing to lose before I think about what I could make. The downside is the only part I fully control, so it gets planned first.

02

Process over outcome.

A good decision can lose and a bad one can win. I judge myself on whether I followed the plan, not on the color of the day.

03

Fewer, better trades.

I'd rather take one setup I trust than ten I'm guessing at. Most of the job is waiting, and waiting well is a skill.
