Phase 03 / 8 of 8 live
The mechanics of getting in, getting out, and sizing the consequence. This phase carries the framework the whole method runs on, and the risk arithmetic that makes a low win rate survivable.
The risk arithmetic in this phase is the most liberating material in the curriculum. It is also the part people skim because it looks like maths rather than trading.
- 3A
Futures mechanics: derivatives, contracts and instrumentsWhat a futures contract actually is, ES versus MES, ticks and point values, and the contract rollover that catches self-taught traders out. Module 3A of the FFT curriculum.One tick at a time What the market shows you - 3B
Position concepts: longs, shorts, sizing and correlationLong and short, why position size here is fixed at one contract, and translating points into dollars fast enough that it never becomes a decision. Module 3B of the FFT curriculum.The same trades, three times the size What your record shows you - 3C
Order types and execution, plus the Five-Layer Execution ReadThe Five-Layer Execution Read, which layer actually holds the trigger, and why a location is never an entry. The central framework of the FFT method. Module 3C.Where your orders sit What the market shows you - 3D
Risk and reward: RR ratios, profitability math and asymmetryWhy reward-to-risk matters more than win rate, the real breakeven once commissions are counted, asymmetric opportunity, and when a target may be extended. Module 3D of the FFT curriculum.Stop, target, extension What your record shows you - 3E
Probability thinking: conditional probability and the confluence stackWhat an edge actually is, why a setup is a hypothesis rather than a prediction, and the canonical confluence stack with its known denominator. Module 3E of the FFT curriculum.The losing run What your record shows you - 3F
Trade management: the four valid exits and the trailThe four valid exits, why the trade is already complete once it is live, what an early exit actually costs in arithmetic, and the discretionary trail. Module 3F of the FFT curriculum.Managing an open trade What the market shows you - 3G
The reversal setup: sweep-and-reversal playbookThe sweep-and-reversal playbook. Trading against the move that just ran a level, and how to tell a sweep that reverses from a sweep that keeps going. Module 3G of the FFT curriculum.The flow turn What the market shows you - 3H
The continuation setup: trap-and-acceleration playbookThe trap-and-acceleration playbook. Trading with an established move through a level, and telling a trap apart from a genuine reversal. Module 3H of the FFT curriculum.The bid that left What the market shows you
