Futures Starter Kit

This is where every War Room member starts.

The Futures Starter Kit is the onboarding guide Nick Sayegh uses for brand new traders — no experience required. If you've never traded futures and want to understand the foundations before putting real money on the line, this is your first step.

This guide is for you if:

• You're brand new to futures trading

• You've traded stocks or crypto but never futures contracts

• You want to understand NQ, ES, and YM before you place a trade

• You need help setting up NinjaTrader 8 the right way

What's inside:

• NQ vs. ES vs. YM: contract specs, tick values, and margin requirements side by side

• How the NY Open works — and why 9:30–11:00 AM is the money window

• NinjaTrader 8 setup guide: charts, order entry, and ATM basics

• Account sizing: starting capital, position sizing, and risk rules for new traders

• Micro contracts (MNQ/MES/MYM): how to start small and build your edge

• The War Room vocabulary: every term Nick uses, explained from scratch
