FP Terminal covers the whole board — index, energy, metals, treasury, FX and ag futures — in three sessions a day. Every opportunity comes with a level-triggered entry, a stop, a target and the sizing for a funded account. Every pick is graded afterward, losses included, and the scorecard is public.
Creating an account is free. A paid membership, starting with a 3-session free trial, unlocks FP Terminal. No payment is taken at signup.
These results are based on simulated or hypothetical performance results that have certain inherent limitations. Unlike the results shown in an actual performance record, these results do not represent actual trading. Also, because these trades have not actually been executed, these results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated or hypothetical trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to these being shown.

The terminal is the dashboard members trade from; Futures Playbook is where you create your account and manage your membership. Here is what the membership includes.
The New York edition crowns one pick across the whole board after the 08:30 prints, on its own instrument's levels: confirm level, stop, target, live window, the catalyst inside it, and what kills it. The Desk Read on the terminal is built from it.
Every approved future ranked on technical factors — range against ATR, trend, vol regime, session fit — and non-technical ones: dated catalysts, macro tilt, headlines, and the desk's audited record.
Call wall, put wall, flip and regime for NQ, ES, YM and RTY, from the ETF dealer books scaled to each future, with a Pine overlay for each.
Pre-open, midday and scorecard posts for each session in the members' Discord, plus live alert rooms for equity, treasury and commodity futures.
Ask where a symbol sits against its walls, or what a pick's trigger is — answered from the stored reads, picks and board, never invented.
Picks are walked against the tape under the desk's own entry rules, and the running scorecard is published on this page, wins and losses alike.
The board for the London window: FX majors, Brent-led crude, metals, index futures on European flow.
The overnight picks graded against the tape, wins and losses published.
What already printed, what is still to come, the best opportunity for the rest of the window.
The desk's one crowned New York pick, written after the 08:30 prints and before the cash open, with trigger, stop, target and account sizing. The Desk Read is built from it.
The London window's picks graded, wins and losses published.
Opportunities for the afternoon from the tape so far and the events ahead.
Every New York pick graded, wins and losses published.
Yen, Aussie, crude and gold after the 18:00 reopen, written on the first prints rather than ahead of them.
Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong flow, and the London handoff.
The desk pre-registers its studies, keeps the ones that survive and publishes the ones that do not. What you see in the terminal is what the evidence supports today — and you keep your own judgment.
Read the risk disclosure ↗The desk's rule of record is a confirmed 5-minute close through a level. No touches, no resting orders at a wall, no anticipatory entries.
Graded results are research outcomes walked on the tape, not member returns. Commissions, slippage and real execution change outcomes.
Data can be delayed and models can be wrong. The scorecard on this page shows the sample size and both graders so you can weigh the record yourself.

Futures Playbook is the website where you create your account and manage your membership. FP Terminal is the research dashboard at app.futuresplaybook.com, included with an active, paid membership.
Index futures (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), energy and metals (CL, NG, GC, SI, HG), treasuries (ZT, ZF, ZN), the FX majors (6E, 6B, 6J, 6A, 6C, 6S, 6N) and the ags (ZS, ZW, ZL, LE). Every opportunity is quoted on its own instrument's price scale.
No. FP Terminal runs in your browser. If you keep a trading platform running around the clock or automate orders from alerts, a trading VPS keeps it online close to the exchange. QuantVPS is one option: trading VPS for NinjaTrader, Tradovate, Rithmic, Sierra Chart and TradingView, with a Chicago data center near CME. Affiliate link: Futures Playbook may earn a commission if you sign up through it, at no extra cost to you.
No. Research is standardized. The platform does not assess your finances, determine suitable position sizes, manage your account or place trades for you.
No. Published grades and performance figures are hypothetical research outcomes walked on the tape, not subscriber returns. They have important limitations and do not predict future results.
No. Account creation does not start a subscription or authorize payment. A separate checkout presents the price, the 3-session free trial and the recurring billing terms for your explicit agreement; the first charge lands when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
A U.S. futures trading day, Monday to Friday, excluding the exchange holidays when U.S. futures and stock markets are fully closed. A session counts only if it opens (09:30 ET) after you start checkout, and the trial ends at 5:00 PM ET on the last one. Your account page shows the exact end date and time before you check out.
Open My account and choose Manage billing. Stripe's customer portal handles payment methods, invoices and cancellation at the end of the paid period. Deleting a login or unsubscribing from email is not a billing cancellation.
