2018
A futures trading course teaches you to read the market, place a trade, and manage risk in leveraged contracts like the S&P 500 E-mini (ES) and MES micro futures. The best trader courses pair structured lessons with live reps… so you learn the system, then watch it traded in real time.
"You're like the pilot. I'm like the navigator. I'm helping you navigate."
That's the whole shape of this course. George trades the ES E-mini and MES micro futures live on Zoom and YouTube every market day, and he teaches while he trades. This page maps the path from your first futures contract to trading a real system every morning… free to start, no credit card, no fluff.
What does a futures trading course teach?
▶ Listen to this section
The fundamentals that actually matter before you ever click buy. Risk first. Market structure. One repeatable setup you can run again and again. Most trader courses hand you a video library and vanish. A working course teaches you to prepare… to know where you want to get long and where you want to get short before the bell rings.
"Sometimes you just drop on a chart and you want to start trading. And I think the Battle Plan forces you to step back a little bit and go, where do I really want to get long? Where would I really want to get short?"
That preparation is the heart of it. You start on MES micro futures, where the risk per contract is small enough to learn on real money without the fear. The free Foundations Course walks the beginner path first… the Day Trader's Pledge, the Trader Test, and why the ES and MES belong at the center of a serious futures education.
Is there a free futures trading course?
▶ Listen to this section
Yes. The Foundations Course is 100% free… no credit card, no upsell traps. It covers the fundamentals a new futures trader needs before the first trade: risk, technical analysis, the futures contract itself, and why MES micros come first. And the daily Battle Plan, George's pre-mapped trade scenarios, is free too.
"The Battle Plan Review is free for everybody. Come join and trade with us today."

What do you actually learn to trade?
▶ Listen to this section
One system, run with discipline. The Core Strategy trades clean, developed Strong Levels off the daily Battle Plan. The first rule you learn is the one George repeats every session: No Level, No Trade. Green Over Greed. Wait for the trade the plan already mapped. The whole room runs one plan… the same Battle Plan, together.
"I like clean clear crisp developed levels. If I don't have clean clear crisp developed levels it's real difficult for me to trade. In our group they hear often: no level no trade, period."
That discipline is the real curriculum. A great course teaches you to sit on your hands when the setup isn't there… and George would rather you skip a trade than force one.
"I would rather you have no trade than to say you should have been short. I would rather you have no trade."
From there you learn the execution: the 3-Contract System, holding a runner for the big move, trailing a stop, and reading who controls the market. The Trading Library covers every piece, free.
How long does it take to learn futures trading?
▶ Listen to this section
Longer than a weekend, shorter than you fear… and it depends entirely on the reps you put in. No course clicks a switch. You own your education. The traders who dig into the material and screen-time the setups move faster than everyone else.
"You're in charge of your education. I am only your Sherpa. I'm only leading you up the mountain… and I know that people who dig into that stuff accelerate way faster."
Trading MES micro futures is what makes the timeline survivable. At roughly $50 of risk per contract, you practice the real system with real money while the tuition stays small. Start on the free Foundations Course, put in the reps, and let the live room shorten the curve.
