Be sure to congratulate Travis H and his new role at FNL - Trading Room Manager!
Travis will be introducing a new schedule and a topic driven session from 1-2pm ET Monday - Thursday focusing on FIRE:
F- Foundation - Review foundational aspects of trading revolving around the basics and having a repeatable zone.
I- Integration - Take the foundation you have built on MES or other product and integrate that zone into other products, such as MNQ, M2K, Stocks, Crypto, etc.
R - Realization - Repeat and refine your entire trade zone
E - Expansion - Work on gradually expanding or changing your trade zone (if desired) or continue to expand your current trade zone.
Trading Room Schedule Update
New sessions include Early Bird with Kyle H on Tues and Thurs at 7am EST. Kyle will be trading the #ES, taking foundation type trades and getting the day started right!
​
In addition to her evening sessions on Tues and Wed at 7-9pm ET, Lydean will be moderating on Monday and Tues from 12-1 pm ET, focusing on expanding her trading zone.
​
Of course FNL will continue to set a plan for the trading day with Travis, Rob and other members Monday - Friday from 9am - 9:30am. This has a been an instrumental session for our members to set key levels to the top and downside and identifying chop - where it might be best to just stay out! Having these key levels gives us targets whether long or short for the day!
We will continue to trade Opening Bell and refine the FNL OB 30 Trade - trading 30 second or other time frame range at the Opening Bell to catch momentum out of OB - learn how its done and how to take off risk with scaling once the trade gets its momentum.

2023 member testimonials
Randy S, TX
When I joined FNL my idea of trading was very simplistic— look for a trade signal with a trend on a five minute ES chart, take it at the close of the signal candle and hope it fills before it stops out — easy. What I learned was trading really is easy but consistent trading is very, very hard.
Since joining FNL, I learned that trading is not about a signal but about defining a truly repeatable process that matches my personality and then trusting the man in the mirror to have both the patience and the courage to trust the process. What makes that possible is having a band of brothers (and sisters) to help me decipher the market, catch me when I fall to my inner demon, encourage me when I am discouraged and celebrate with me when I succeed. I need a group like FNL to help me define my process, figure out what I am doing to support my process and what I am doing to subvert my process.
For a couple of years before FNL I dreaded facing the charts and having to take trades because I did not trust the process. Now I wake up early every morning with anticipation knowing that at opening bell I am going to trade and it is up to me to use my process to take trades that will allow me to collect what the market is giving and to know when the market stops giving before I get hurt.
