Traders Eat While Stocks Bleed – Today’s Futures Breakdown

While SPY and QQQ were in freefall today, our futures squad at GAR flipped the red sea (of our expiring options calls) into green gains — thanks to clean setups on Gold (MGC) and the S&P 500 (MES).

Let’s break it down 📉➡️💰

🟡 Gold Futures (MGC)

• We entered a long position at 3280, expecting a soar job.
• ✅Closed early for +2 points, locking in $100 profit across 5 micro contracts. Overnight the move ran up +70 points — Anthony and some traders held through Europe open for a massive gain.

🟢 S&P 500 Futures (MES) This is where the second feast happened.

🔻 First short @ 5360 → TP1 hit for +10 points

🔻 Second short @ 5355 → TP4 smashed for +55 points

💵 Profit math (on just 5 contracts): • 65 total points × $5 × 5 contracts = $1,625 locked in.

🔒 Total Locked Profit with just trading 5 micro contracts: ✅ Gold (MGC): +$100

✅ S&P 500 (MES): +$1,625

🟩 Grand Total: $1,725 with just our SL strategy , if you held for more TP's, you could have had one your best days of the year. The power of timing and execution.

This is what futures trading is all about — low capital, high potential, and round-the-clock opportunity. Whether markets go up or down, we're ready.
