Scalping, Day Trading & Futures

Trading CME futures is approached here without pretense or easy promises. Scalping, day trading, the order book, market structure, and Stoic psychology: the goal is to build a discipline that lasts, session after session.

This central section gathers all dimensions of my active trading journey since 1994. From daily market session analysis before the US open to commented replays in Inside the Trade, alongside technical analysis (classical and Smart Money Concepts) and intellectual self-defense against cognitive biases.

I share my trading method, refined over more than three decades on US indices (Nasdaq, S&P 500, Dow Jones, Russell 2000), crude oil, and gold: an exacting craft where risk management and mental mastery matter far more than finding a miracle indicator.
