Instant access to our member area where you can easily reach Ira’s Free Daily Videos, his Morning Subscriber Video, Ira’s Technical Numbers and his Written Trade Recommendations. Its all there in one central location available to you on your smartphone, tablet or desktop computer.
The odds are that your broker, advisory service, publication or whatever doesn't tie up Futures Market Recommendations with written and video commentary.
If you're like so many others, you probably have your own trade ideas, but may need confirmation from something to initiate it. Maybe the combination of the videos, research and trade ideas we present will get you over that hump.
Most of you don't start out your trading day reviewing a video that explains the day's trade recommendations, reasons for them, objectives and so on.
Our clients do.
At 7:00 AM CST our clients review a video that spits off specific trades covering the following futures markets:

Hello Ira,
Hope you are doing well. Not sure if you answer these sorts of emails, but I’ll write anyway.
Yet another lesson from you: Once in awhile you point out that if you’re managing a loosing trade it takes away from a fresh opportunity.
By the end of 2022 I had reduced my number of holding quite a bit. I closed out a number of loosing and flattish trades. Freed up some brain power. I was starting to look closer at charts of stocks other that the ones I owned.
Luckily I followed through on a few good looking charts. Point is that if I didn’t unload a bunch of stagnant trades (long and short, winners and losers) I would have been watching them and not seeing new ideas.
Hello Ira,
Wishing you and your family a very happy new year. Thanks for sharing your process. I watch a lot of financial media (ask my wife) and there are only a few people I watch consistently. Not because they are right or wrong, but because they are consistent in their approach. You are at the top of that very short list. I have learned a lot (B. Bands mostly) and it is helping in my trading.
Thanks Ira, have a great 2023.

Hi Ira
I am glad I purchased your outside day course! It worked well the last two days and even before!
Denis
Great! I should be able to finish the charting course this weekend, and start on the enhanced BB course. My approach to the markets has taken a 180 degree turn. Listening to you each day reading your comments has been worth more than the price I paid for the subscription! Too bad this was available years ago when I thought I knew how to trade! Ha! 😊
Lots still to learn and I’m exploring different things with the BB and SMA’s, it’s been fun! Thanks!
Hello Ira,
new subscriber (Spdr-Etf)+charting and I have completed both courses. I appreciate some of your axioms you hold to: a chart is a chart, don’t trade ahead of big announcements, come up with a game plan, the learning is not a race, and there is always another trade.
This morning you advised caution due to the market’s sharp rise and ahead of this week’s coming reports (jobs etc.) and you had us come out of some of the positions. What intrigues me is that in your review of the charts you didn’t find any new trade setups for the day; and I agreed- there really wasn’t anything there.
I take you back 3-4 weeks ago, ahead of Jackson Hole, FMOC, CPI reporting, etc., and, again, your review of the charts did not find any trade set-ups in that period as well. It’s an interesting corollary that in a period of caution and lacking any solid set-ups you wait; don’t force a position. Perhaps a reminder to those that want ‘action’ all the time; it just isn’t there. I would add that in the prior period you didn’t come back to us saying we missed any trades due to the cautionary view.
Thanks for your insights and teachings and I’d like to commend Ron Romm to you; he’s been very friendly and helpful to me.
Regards,
J.R.
I am a swing trade or longer term investor and first saw You on BNN and watched the video for many years to see how effective your system can be ( embedding and 18 day neutral point as examples ).

Hello Mr. Epstein,
I hope this email finds you well and in good health as it’s coming from the heart 😊. I just want to let you know how you’ve turned my investing life around.
You don’t know me but I consider myself one of your students, from way back in 2018 I started watching your market updates during that year market crash, unfortunately I had already blown my account by then (twice 😁). It was my 2nd year in the market, so with no more savings I was just watching your analysis, taking notes and learning, then I took a break to pick up the pieces.
Fastforward to 2020 when most people were panicking, I was raising cash and getting ready. I picked up oil below 10$, Tesla below 100$ and many others just following your golden roles (I only added Fibo levels as a personal touch 😅). I doubled my account value, then quadrupled it. the dollar value is not crazy high (only 6 figures), just the percentage is crazy. I’m still 32 years old, still have long journey up ahead.
On Dec of 2021 I had a strange feeling as things didn’t make sense so I covered 90% of my shares and stayed in cash. I’m not sure if it was one of the indicators or the geopolitical tension, I just consider myself lucky I booked that profit at the top. I missed Mar beak but bought Jun lows, then shorted Aug highs while taking profit along the way. Believe it or not, my trading portfolio is up 50% year to date and I’m only down 2% in my investing portfolio, in 2022 when the S&P is down close to 15%, even I have hard time believing it when I say it load 😅.
long story short, I did all this by applying what you preach, I came across one of your videos couple of weeks ago, I’m very impressed you’re still doing those daily updates after all these years, amazing discipline and dedication. On your financial market update for Oct 13th you said “you want to write me in YouTube…, I do read them every morning” I said to myself I’ve to tell you my story, you should know the affects your methods had on me all the way here in Poland, I’m sure there are many more like me around the world.
I’m very gratefully to you and I can’t thank you enough, I appreciate all you do and I hope you keep it up. Sorry for the long message, I just wanted to show my gratitude and keep it as brief as possible.
Have a great weekend and wonderful life ahead for you and your family ❤️.
Best Regards,
Ashraf
Hello Ira;
Took your basic trading course. Followed your morning sessions for a year. Using what I have learned with modifications. Limited by income. Expect to some day be able to persue trading in a more professional way.
Thanks
To,
I’m continuously impressed with your ability to mitigate risk while at the same time maximizing profits. Yesterday’s sell recommendation was perfectly timed and at the best price point of the day while avoiding all the unpredictable volatility earlier in the morning. Today’s price action was an added bonus. Thanks for all the research you do as it certainly pays off. Am buying a subscription for my friend whom I keep recommending your research to. He’s very risk adverse and I think this is the perfect avenue for him. Also Ron is such a great broker. Really pleased with the personalized commitment he provides.
Your embedded slow stochastic and loosing its embedded readings are one of the top tools! I used it to sell put spreads on SPX yesterday and got out for profit today. I did not want to take the weekend risk 🙂
Thank you! I have enjoyed trading so much more since I have been listening and learning from you! I needed these skills 20 years ago, lol!
Have a great weekend!
I very like the format and pace ‘What’s Up?’
NOW THE BUGS HAVE BEING WORKED OUT .
I watch to see what other people are interested in and it may generate ideas for me.
Ask a few questions too .
I general watch your Youtube video daily
As the Morning flash as I do not have the time to go through the news myself.
I will read 15 to 20 E mail before open and living on the west coast it early 4 or 5 in morning .

The SPDR ETF Video a day or two ago had
This is interesting and new to me ( something that in the dragon portfolio )

THANK FOR ALL THE HARD WORK YOU PUT IN AND YEAR OF EXPERIENCE
I generally find people who talk about mistakes are far more trustworthy than those who only talk about the wins.
Because you learn more from mistakes than wins.
It is about not losing money as much as making money !
You will say I was not willing to take the risk on this trade . THIS IS REFRESHING !
I just finished watching your special video on the S&P. Nice job. First I am a Subsciber to the morning SPDR videos and I took the Enhanced BB course . I’ve been here for about year. I wrote you before that I made my money back in the first day after watching the EBB. Anyway I am writing to take you up on your offer for the Price Counts videos and to get them daily as you mentioned. Thanks for your work
Ira, thank you again for joining us on short notice. We always learn something from you. Thanks. BNN TV
Ira,
I want to first thank you for doing what you do. I am a twelve year now trader. I turned professional January of 2015, formed my LLC in 2016. I have my own methodology that I trade using software developed for a European Company running a CPO. It is on mt4 using a hybrid Renko / Heikin Ashi Bar. I can only trade FX from this software and cross reference to currencies since futures are not available in the states using mt4 and extremely limited on mt5.
I first ran across you and your work around four to five years ago, you made sense but I was still stuck in the loop of finding the “magic bullet, and shiny object syndrome”. I have since matured significantly as a trader and came across you again several months ago and everything clicked. I signed on and took the basic and advanced BB courses. It all made perfect sense. I have been testing the combination of my method which incorporates fib extensions and retracements for double confirmation with the Bollinger bands and trendlines. The BB’s give me a level of Certainty and Confirmation that I did not have previously. They coincide perfectly with my fibs and TL’s and I can now see when and why the trade is losing momentum and where to begin to pay close attention as it hits the zone where these three come together.. I count the bars when they hit the bands 😎.
I am now a client, Jenean is my broker.
Ira You are very dedicated to your subscribers. Above and beyond Thanks
Hi
Ira I took advantage of your special a few months ago and subscribed to the SPDRs ETF. I also took the Bolinger Band course as my special. The first day I watched I made my money back . Not by buying but by not selling a stock I owned because of what I learned about the 3 day average of lows as support.
The reason I’m writing is because my slow stochastic numbers do not match yours. And you mentioned on the webinar that you would tell how to change the numbers so they match.
I have to say by using the BB and slow Sto. My bottom line has improved . Thank You
Gary
Hello Ira
Just wanted to honestly say thanks
For keeping me out of harms way
Hi
I started watching you this summer and eventually purchased the charting course and the Enchanced Bollinger bands course, also I am your subscriber to your research. I just want to tell you that you are a real deal!
I wish I would have found you before, I would save and make so much money.
THANK YOU!
Denis.
Hi Ira,
Great insights today in your commentary. I think you keep getting better with age, your experience and amount of reading you do amazes me!
Thank you for such a great service.
Best,
Raj
Ira,
I have been loosing a lot of money trading before. After I have been learning and subscribing with you, I start to make money.
Just want to say Thank you to you personally. Just want you to know that you are doing good.
I am planning to subscribe with you for a long long time. R u planning to reitre any time soon? I hope not.
Hope to have u as a teacher for a long long time.
Nick
Many, many thanks for your help, Ira!
Thanks Ira, you always do a Great Job, I hope that you have a great weekend.
Thanks
Larry from Texas
Ira, Thanks for the trade. Made a couple bucks. I will take your Bol. band course. Jack
Dear Ira,
I really appreciate your kindness and support with this.
I am loving your daily videos and so pleased I subscribed for those morning videos.
Have a great day.
Kindest regards
David
Hi All, it works perfectly with beautiful resolution. Thank you! I’m so grateful for your problem solving and responsiveness.
Alan
Great trade on Corn! While others were getting whipsawed, you kept your cool and found the right setup.
You are the best!
Thank you,
R
Thank you for your continued stable advice during these crazy times.
Because of you and the things I have learned, I resisted buying about 200 shares of UGLD.
Yes, I am a gold bug, fully infected – but your charting wisdom has lessened its affect.
I saved more than the cost of the annual subscription. I just thought you might smile knowing that not losing money also makes financial sense for purchasing your reports or charting course.
Best Regards,
PS
Although we have never met, I just thought I would send you a quick email and thank you for your good commentary. You obviously love and do stay on top of the markets. I get a lot of business notifications, but I wanted to let you know I do really look forward to your email commentary. We are a past CTA from many years ago. I continue to follow you. Thanks for being so passionate about what you do and do “Keep up the good work.”
Even though I did not short the indices today, this downside price action was almost imminent due to the lost SSTO. Maybe I need to have more conviction on a lost SSTO trade. This is the best setup by far! Thank you, you are the best!
Ira. Love the daily commentary. I’m a Sugar producer/hedger in Australia and whilst I mainly deal swaps for physical, your tech analysis has been very helpful when identifying key exit and entry points for selling and buying back. Your commentary last night skipped over Sugar. I’m in the last throes of fixing my in season pricing and am looking for a selling point on this rally. Thanks.
Thanks, those trades were great!
Thank you Ira for everything you do and have done over the years, from Larry from Texas
I know I have given this feedback in the past; however, I just wanted to say again how much I appreciate what you do. You help me keep my cool and make rational choices when the market panics. I was thinking of selling my bitcoin at 14k last year and you said “bitcoin at 14k, get the hell out”. So I did and it saved me thousands. I covered my NQ shorts last week when you said dip buyers might show up. You helped me with my gold trading also. I find myself looking at the charts of many stocks I am considering buying and saying things like, “nope, 3 days over the bollinger band, I’ll wait” and “never buy such an overbought market”. My 401k and personal account have benefited from your teachings and you have helped me to dramatically improve my retirement savings. Don’t ever forget how much of a difference you are making.
How generous of you to still do our subscriber videos while you are on vacation; enjoy your time off very much! I really appreciate you and am learning a lot, for example today your rule says buy the 3 day moving average even though it looks like it may want to fill the gap. I will not sell until it loses the embedded reading.
You are so amazing that you have been recording the morning videos for subscribers even on your vacation. Your break is well deserved and I wish I could be consistent like you and I am not even half your age.
Please take rest, come refreshed on Tuesday and let us make some money!
I really appreciate all you do for us, you are the best!
