I would rather you have no trade.” — George, live session, Aug 7, 2025 How long does it take to learn futures trading? Longer than a week...

New to futures? Start here… the honest, micro-first way George teaches every beginner. Futures trading for beginners starts with one honest choice… trade the MES micro E-mini first. It is the smallest S&P 500 futures contract there is. You learn a repeatable system on it, you risk a few dollars per trade while the read is still forming, and you step up to the full-size ES only after you prove you can trade small without blowing up. Master the small contract first. Everything else follows. One micro is not “small” Do not let the word micro fool you. A single MES contract controls about $33,000 of S&P 500 exposure, roughly 50 shares of SPY. What makes it perfect for a beginner is the risk per trade… a 10-point stop on one MES is about $50 , and a full stopped-out loss can be as small as $30. Real skin in the game, for the price of a lunch when it goes wrong. Your first trade, and the one rule that keeps you alive Start on the micro. George...

A tip of the hat to one of the most popular ES levels newsletters going… and a look at a kindred level-based style, traded live. Adam Mancini runs one of the most popular ES levels newsletters out there. Clean support and resistance, mapped the night before. A patient, level-driven setup you wait for instead of chasing. Disciplined risk, a big engaged community. If you read it, you already know… it is genuinely good work. So this is not a takedown. George trades a kindred level-based style for ES and MES futures, mapped every night. He calls it the Battle Plan. Plenty of the trades line up beautifully with Adam's… and there are real differences where it counts: Longs and shorts. Adam is long-side only, and he says so himself. We map and trade the short side too, when the tape earns it… just last week two mapped shorts ran about 50 points each. Far fewer levels. Adam publishes a full set of levels, about six points apart on average. We keep only the fe...

But one or two trades a week stretch into 100-point moves. Which trade will it be? Nobody knows. That's the whole point. The runner keeps you in the trade when it happens. This page gathers everything George teaches about the runner across hundreds of hours of live ES and MES micro futures trading… why it works, how to finance it so it costs you nothing, three ways to manage its stop, and the honest truth about why holding feels so hard. “"The big lesson of the week that will be reiterated over and over as we go throug...
