I made $200 on two micro contracts Wednesday. Here's the math.
Risk $80. Target $200. Same levels. Same setup. Smaller size.
Hey Trader,
Wednesday morning, the NQ was whipping back and forth with a 50 ATR. The kind of tape that eats traders alive.
I bought the 26 on a back test of the opening range, started dragging my stop up as it moved, locked in 20 handles, then 30, and closed it out at the 77.
"I'm out. Plus 50 times two. Done. I needed that."
Two micro contracts. Fifty handles of profit.
Two hundred dollars in real money, captured in minutes on a setup I have traded thousands of times.
When I walked the room through what just happened, I said the thing I had been building toward all week.
"I think this is the way we gotta trade this thing."
This week was a masterclass in what micros can do when the tape gets wild.
Not as a consolation prize or training wheels you graduate from as fast as possible…
The levels are the edge. The size is up to you.
Wednesday, I risked $80 on two micros and walked away with $200 in minutes. Same levels I trade every single morning. Same structure I've repeated thousands of times.
That's the whole point of the Golden Setup System. One setup, one market, and a framework that works whether you're trading micros or full contracts.
I want to show you exactly how it works, from the entry logic to the auto-plotted levels to the room where we trade it live.
