The Complete Beginner's Guide to Futures Trading

THE COMPLETE BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO FUTURES TRADING (53-Page PDF)

Start from zero and build a real, repeatable way to read the market — before you ever risk a trade.

This is a ground-up, step-by-step guide to futures trading for complete beginners, covering everything from what a futures contract actually is through to a simple 5-step framework you can use on a live chart: reading price action, forming a bias, understanding liquidity, working across timeframes, and finding the market's most likely next target (the "draw on liquidity").

• Reading candles, swings and market structure with confidence
• Timeframes and top-down analysis, done properly
• Building a one-sentence bias using trend, range, premium and discount
• Liquidity: what price is really hunting, and why
• The draw on liquidity — choosing your target before your entry
• Trading sessions and killzones (with a New York/UK time conversion)

• Order types, and a repeatable process for placing a trade
