Getting started
View allHow to start trading futures
A step-by-step roadmap for starting futures trading from India: learn NQ, set up Tradovate, practise, understand prop firm rules, pick a firm, pass, get paid, and scale.
Getting startedRisk, R:R and position size on NQ: the 1:1 system
Why I trade NQ at 1:1 with a 20-point stop on one mini, how $400 a trade becomes a payout, the two-trade day, breakeven at 10 points, and a calculator for your own numbers.
Getting startedYour first 20 points
One real trade, slowed down: what I saw, what I risked, what it paid — and the three years behind it.

Prop firmsWhich prop firm and which account to start with
Apex, Lucid, Tradeify or MyFundedFutures; 25K or 50K; EOD or intraday; evaluation or straight-to-funded. What I tell people with $100 or $500, what each firm is honestly good and bad at, and how to buy without getting scammed.
