By: Max Koren

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Unlock the professional edge in futures trading—without the hype.

If you’re tired of guesswork, emotional trades, and inconsistent results, this book delivers the clarity and structure most traders never develop. "How to Trade Stock Index Futures" is a no-fluff, execution-focused guide designed to transform beginners into disciplined operators in the futures market.

Written by Max Koren with the voice of a veteran Wall Street trader and the clarity of a performance coach, this book reveals how real professionals approach U.S. index futures—including ES (S&P 500), NQ (Nasdaq 100), RTY (Russell 2000), and YM (Dow Jones).

You’ll learn:

• The difference between trading and gambling—and how to build the trader’s mindset

• Why most retail traders fail (and how structure prevents it)

• How to understand index futures contracts, tick size, margin, and leverage without confusion

• Why market environments matter more than indicators—and how to adapt to balance vs. directional regimes

• The crucial skill of translating price into risk—so every trade is clear, pre-defined, and controlled

• How professionals use overnight sessions, gaps, and liquidity shifts as context—not chaos

• What makes futures ideal for serious skill-building, even on small accounts using micro contracts

This book is not about prediction. It’s about execution. You won’t find trading signals or magic setups here—only the frameworks and risk-thinking that separate consistent traders from frustrated ones.

Whether you’re new to futures or looking to reboot your process from the ground up, this book will help you stop reacting and start executing like a professional.
