Futures Trading Recap: Discipline Pays in a Choppy Holiday Week

Summary

This week’s futures trading was all about patience and precision. With post-holiday chop dominating the tape, we took one clean ES long setup and locked in +5 points before volatility returned. While the action was muted, our disciplined approach helped us avoid unnecessary risk and stay green. Bigger opportunities are expected as we close out June and head into July.

📆 Weekly Futures Recap – Week Ending June 20, 2025

It was a post-holiday week marked by choppy price action, lighter volume, and an overall lack of conviction across major indices. But while the setups were scarce, discipline stayed front and center — and that’s where the real edge is.

📈 Trade Recap

✅ ES Long @ 6035 • Entry: Friday, June 21 at 9:12 AM • Exit: Closed for +5 points at 9:46 AM • Note: Trade ran as high as +10 points, but we took profits early ahead of the pullback. • 🔒 Result: +5 pts locked

🧠 Weekly Commentary

There wasn’t much to chase this week — and that’s exactly when traders get chopped up. The S&P grinded in frustrating ranges, and the post-holiday tape lacked the follow-through we prefer.

But we stuck to our process: one clean setup, one green result. No forcing, no overtrading, no ego.

It’s not always about big wins — it’s about staying alive, staying smart, and waiting for your moment.

🔮 Looking Ahead

The setups we want — the ones with structure, volume, and conviction — are on the horizon. As June winds down, we’re locking in our focus for what’s shaping up to be a strong July.

We’re not satisfied. And that’s the point. We know what we’re capable of. Be ready for me in July. We’re just warming up. 😈
