Live intelligence across 24 futures and every session — the biggest moves, the headline or print behind them, the next release on the calendar, and whether dealer hedging is damping moves or adding to them. The context, before you take the trade.
Creating an account is free. A paid membership, starting with a 3-session free trial, unlocks FP Terminal. No payment is taken at signup.
Crude oil (CL) is the biggest mover on the board, -3.9% over 24 hours. JOLTs Job Openings (Aug) printed 7.079 vs 7.23 expected. VIX 16.04 (-0.03).
What is moving, why, what is next, and where positioning sits. The live brief above is the first panel members see; the rest of the terminal goes deeper on each line of it.
24 futures across index, rates, energy, metals, FX and ags — the biggest 24-hour moves, the day's range against normal, VIX, VXN and the curve. NQ and ES stream live; the rest print on one-minute bars.
The desk wire puts breaking headlines, single-stock catalysts, central-bank speakers and geopolitics next to the futures they touch — in seconds, not after the fact.
The economic calendar with the consensus before the print and the actual the minute it lands, the 2026–27 central-bank calendar, and the earnings that move the indexes.
Call wall, put wall and flip for NQ, ES, YM and RTY with a 3D strike × expiry landscape, $1M+ options prints, the QQQ/SPY/IWM vol surface and prediction-market odds on the macro.
Three editions a day — 02:45, 09:22 and 18:40 ET — covering each window's movers, catalysts and scheduled events plus the desk's research candidates, in the terminal and the members' Discord, with live rooms and alerts.
The desk pre-registers its studies and publishes the ones that fail. Level breakouts, opening ranges, gamma-wall entries: tested and refuted. So the terminal leads with context, and the candidates it still publishes are research, graded in the open — not instructions.
FX majors, Brent-led crude, metals and index futures into the European open.
Releases land on the calendar with consensus and the surprise within minutes of the print.
The board after the 08:30 prints and before the cash open: movers, catalysts, the calendar ahead and the session's research candidate.
What the tape has done so far and what is still due before the close.
Yen, Aussie, crude and gold, written on the first prints after the reopen.
Tokyo, Shanghai and Hong Kong flow, and the handoff to London.
See it before you pay for it: today's full brief — every mover, the whole calendar and the catalysts on the wire — is free on the public page.
Open today's market →The desk pre-registers its studies before it looks at the results, and publishes the ones that do not survive. Level breakouts, opening-range breaks, gamma-wall entries, gap continuation, turn-of-the-month strength: tested, refuted, listed. That is why FP Terminal leads with context and treats its own candidates as research.
Dealer gamma is described by what it does to moves — dampening or amplifying them — never as a buy or sell. Walls are context; every wall-based entry rule we tested failed.
The discipline desk checks an idea against your account's rules — approved contract, the 17:00–18:00 flat window, news blackouts, size that survives ten straight losses. The free prop-trader guide is the short version.

A market-intelligence terminal for futures traders: live quotes and the 24-hour board, the news and catalysts behind each move, the economic and central-bank calendars with consensus, dealer gamma and options flow, and three session editions a day. It runs in your browser at app.futuresplaybook.com; Futures Playbook is where you create your account and manage your membership.
No. It leads with context — what is moving, why, and what is scheduled. The session editions still name a research candidate with its levels, graded afterwards whether it wins or loses, but our own pre-registered studies found no mechanical entry rule that held up after costs, so treat candidates as research, not instructions. The platform does not place trades or give personal advice.
The board scans 24 futures: index futures (NQ, ES, YM, RTY), energy and metals (CL, NG, GC, SI, HG), treasuries (ZT, ZF, ZN, UB), the FX majors (6E, 6B, 6J, 6A, 6C, 6S, 6N) and the ags (ZS, ZW, ZL, LE), with the matching micros sized from their parent. Crypto appears as market context. Dealer gamma covers the four index books.
Today's market brief is free on the public page: the biggest moves, VIX and the 10-year, dealer-gamma regime, the day's calendar with consensus and actual, and the catalysts on the wire, refreshed every five minutes.

Yes. Beyond the market intelligence, the discipline desk checks each idea against your account's rules — approved contract, the 17:00–18:00 flat window, news blackouts, and size that survives ten straight losses. Start with the free prop-trader guide.
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. 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.
