The Beginning Master

The Beginning Master

Description:

The Beginning Master is a structured micro-futures scalping strategy engineered for small accounts, particularly those trading micro futures such as M2K (Micro Russell 2000), MNQ (Micro Nasdaq), or MES (Micro E-mini S&P 500).
It combines multiple layers of trend, momentum, and volatility logic to identify short-term directional opportunities while maintaining strict capital protection.

The system evaluates:

Trend bias using a dual-moving-average framework that reacts to shifts in short-term momentum.

Momentum strength and confirmation through adaptive readings of directional movement and relative-strength behavior to avoid low-energy markets.

Volatility awareness, adjusting stops and targets based on real-time range analysis so each trade risks only a small, consistent fraction of equity.

Session filters, restricting activity to high-liquidity U.S. hours for more stable fills.

Capital management tools, including a daily loss limit and a unique “profit floor” safeguard that locks gains once a target profit is reached, preventing drawdown from giving back realized profit.

The strategy is optimized for:

Micro-futures traders starting with modest capital (~$100)

Any micro futures instrument (M2K, MNQ, MES, etc.)

Fast execution via automated trade platforms (e.g., TradersPost)

Consistent, repeatable setups rather than prediction

Default settings:

Initial capital: $100

Daily loss cap: $15

Profit-floor protection: $25
