Welcome, traders.
I'm kris Zell — 10+ years grinding futures markets (ES, NQ, micros, you name it), and I've coached multiple 7-figure traders to consistent profitability. No fake screenshots, no Lambo stories, no BS promises of overnight riches. Just real discipline, iron risk management, and setups that survive live markets.
This community exists for one reason: to help serious futures traders spot high-probability setups, break them down honestly, and drill the mindset/risk rules that actually prevent account blow-ups. We're not here for blind signals or hype — we're here to build edges through discussion, accountability, and brutal feedback.
How this works (your daily flow):
- Post your setups in the dedicated spotting channels — use the template below so everyone can scan fast.
- Focus on your style: Day traders live in "Day Trade Setup Spotting", patient swing hunters stick to 1.3+ RR, etc. Mute channels you don't trade — no noise.
- I (and top contributors) will comment with real breakdowns: entry logic, RR calc, risk sizing, psychology traps, what I'd change.
- Weekly live sessions coming soon (risk reviews, Q&A, member setup dives).
- Share wins/losses in the journal channel — post the trade review, not excuses.
Posting Template for Setups (copy-paste this when you post):
- Ticker / Contract: (e.g., /ES, /NQ micro)
- Timeframe: (e.g., 15min, Daily)
- RR Target: (e.g., 1.3:1 minimum)
- Entry:
- Stop:
- Target:
- Reason / Edge: (why this setup? Confluence? Levels?)
- Chart: (attach image)
- Risk Notes: (position size as % account, max risk, etc.)
Hard Rules (break them and you're out):
- Education & discussion only — NO personalized advice, NO "buy/sell now" signals, NO guarantees of profits.
- No spam, no self-promo, no affiliate links without approval.
- Respect the focus: Discipline & risk first. Flame wars or gambling talk gets you muted/kicked.
- Trade at your own risk — past performance isn't future results. Markets can and will humble you.
If you're here to level up your discipline, size positions like a pro, and spot setups with real edge — you're in the right place. If you're chasing quick wins or revenge trading — this isn't it.
