📈 Day Trading S&P 500 ES Futures | Price Action Trading | Al Brooks Approach

Welcome to Blackbay Trading — I document my real futures-trading journey using pure price action and context-based analysis inspired by Al Brooks. After years of scalping with the PATS strategy, I’ve transitioned to a more Brooks-style approach, focusing on reading context, 5-minute setups, and holding for larger targets.

🎯 Learn about:
• Price action trading & market cycles
• Trading psychology & discipline
• Risk management & journaling

I trade S&P 500 ES Futures on Apex and Take Profit Trader PA-accounts, sharing daily highlight videos with real wins, losses, and lessons learned.
