01 / THE OPEN READ
Ranked opportunities at 09:20 ET.
Three to five ideas for the New York session, ranked by risk/reward, each on its own instrument: confirm level, stop, target, live window, the catalyst inside it, and what kills it.
THE FUTURES PLAYBOOK / FP TERMINAL
A futures desk that
publishes its picks —
and grades them.
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-day 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.
Walked on the tape — 13 picks. Replayed on 1-minute bars under the desk's fixed rules, no model involved: 0 wins, 1 loss, 7 closed at the window end, 5 never triggered, net +2.22R.
Graded by the scorecard model — 14 picks. Picks published without captured levels, judged by the scorecard model reading that session's tape: 5 wins, 1 loss, 2 closed at the window end, 6 never triggered, net +6.50R.

WHAT IS INSIDE
One desk. Every session.
The whole board.
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.
02 / SYMBOL SELECT
The board, scored every session.
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.
03 / DEALER GAMMA
Walls for four index futures.
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.
04 / SESSION CHANNELS
New York, London, Asia.
Pre-open, midday and scorecard posts for each session in the members' Discord, plus live alert rooms for equity, treasury and commodity futures.
05 / ASK THE DESK
Answers from the desk's own data.
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.
06 / THE RECORD
Graded, published, kept.
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.

RESEARCH WITH ITS ASSUMPTIONS ATTACHED
Every rule is tested.
Every pick is graded.
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 ↗Entries are earned, never predicted.
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.
Hypothetical means hypothetical.
Graded results are research outcomes walked on the tape, not member returns. Commissions, slippage and real execution change outcomes.
Models are tools, not guarantees.
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.

BEFORE YOU JOIN
A few things to know.
What is the difference between Futures Playbook and FP Terminal?
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.
Which markets does the desk cover?
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.
Is this personalized trading advice?
No. Research is standardized. The platform does not assess your finances, determine suitable position sizes, manage your account or place trades for you.
Are the research results actual trading returns?
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.
Does creating an account charge me?
No. Account creation does not start a subscription or authorize payment. A separate checkout presents the price, the 3-day free trial and the recurring billing terms for your explicit agreement; the first charge lands when the trial ends unless you cancel before then.
How do I manage or cancel a subscription?
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.
Who operates Futures Playbook?
The Futures Playbook LLC, a Florida limited liability company. The research platform was built by Dr. Alex Djahankhah.
