Trading E-Mini S&P Futures Like The Session Never Closes Is How A Chop Stretch Costs You
When you see the nine setups built around how ES futures actually behave across a session that runs nearly 23 hours a day, you will stop guessing whether the overnight move means anything, and start trading the specific setup for a contract stuck between two levels instead.
You will know, before you are in the trade, exactly how many times a level has to hold before it is worth fading, and the exact close that ends the range and gets you out with the loss capped small.
Most range-stretch losses in ES come from treating an overnight wiggle like it means the same thing a regular-hours breakout does.
You will get Initial Balance fades built from the same market-profile framework the futures pits invented, an overnight Globex range retest, a London and New York session-handoff reset, VWAP chop, and pre-data compression built for a contract that genuinely trades around the clock.
You will see all nine setups in full, entry to exit, before you pay for a single one of them, one dollar unlocked at a time.
A chop stretch in ES is not a slow stretch.
It is a different setup with its own rules.

What's Inside
All 9 Setups
- 01Initial Balance High Fade. Short the high of ES's own Initial Balance, the first hour's range, once it has failed to expand for the rest of the morning.5-min chart, after the first RTH hour
- 02Initial Balance Low Bounce. Buy the low of ES's own Initial Balance, the mirror of the IB high fade, so you are never guessing which side of the morning's reference range to trust.5-min chart, after the first RTH hour
- 03Overnight Globex Range Retest Fade. Fade a breakout beyond ES's own overnight Globex range that fails to hold once the deeper regular-hours liquidity shows up.5-min chart, RTH open
- 04VWAP Mean-Reversion Chop. Buy dips back toward VWAP once ES has spent the session oscillating around it instead of trending away from it.5-min chart
- 05London/New York Session Handoff Reset. Fade a late push beyond the range set during ES's own London and New York session handoff once that push fails to hold.5-min chart, ~3am ET
- 06Failed Breakout Trap Reversal. Once a breakout attempt reverses back inside the range within a few candles, trade back toward the opposite side of the range.5-min chart
- 07Pre-Data Compression Range. Trade the shrinking oscillations inside ES's range in the hour or two before a scheduled high-impact release, before the data resets the range completely.5-min chart, hour or two before a scheduled release
- 08Globex Overnight Low-Volume Chop Fade. Fade wide overnight wicks during ES's thinnest liquidity window, the gap between Asia's close and London's open, back toward the middle of the range.5-min chart, ~2am-3am ET
- 09Cash-Close Imbalance Fade. In the closing minutes before the 4:00pm cash print, fade an extension beyond the day's range driven by index-fund and arbitrage desks squaring up rather than fresh direction.5-min chart, final 15 min before 4pm cash close

A Few Notes On Trading ES Futures' Ranges
ES trades nearly 23 hours a day, Sunday evening through Friday afternoon Eastern, with only a short daily maintenance break, and that changes what "the session" even means. Unless a setup above specifically names the overnight Globex hours, it is built around the regular trading hours day, 9:30am to 4:00pm Eastern, the same window a stock or ETF trader already knows.
The habit that separates a trader who makes money fading ES's ranges from one who gets run over by them: waiting for two tests of a level, not one. A single touch on thin overnight volume can look decisive when it was actually just a lightly traded hour resolving itself. A second touch that also rejects, especially once deeper regular-hours liquidity shows up, is what tells you genuine supply or demand sits there.
None of this is built for the release itself, whether that is a scheduled jobs report, CPI print, or FOMC decision. On those releases ES's range tends to break on the number and keep going. The pre-data compression setup above is built for the run-up, not the number.
Common Questions
Why is this priced at $1 per setup?
Every setup in The ES Futures Range Setups Pack is priced individually and added up. This pack has 9 setups, so it is $9 total, no more and no less. The interactive preview above shows every setup before you pay, so nothing is padded in to round out a bundle.
Do these setups work on other futures, or only ES?
They are built around ES's own behavior specifically, its nearly 23-hour Globex session, its Initial Balance structure carried over from floor-based futures trading, and its own London and New York session-handoff pattern. Some of the underlying ideas generalize to other index futures like NQ, but the specific triggers here are tuned for ES.
What timeframe is this pack for?
Every setup in this pack is built for the 5-minute chart, the timeframe most futures day traders use to plan and enter ES intraday trades.
What do I actually get after I pay?
Instant access to a printable PDF cheat sheet with the entry trigger, confirmation, and invalidation point for all 9 setups in this pack, the same detail shown in the preview deck above, formatted for a second screen or the desk next to your monitor.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. The same 60-day, no-questions-asked guarantee as everything else in the shop. Email any time within 60 days of purchase for a full refund.
