Risk decided before the open
Entry window, stop, target and position size are fixed before the US session starts. The stop never moves once the trade is live.
Market analyst · Funded futures trader · Arabic financial content
Trading markets every day, explaining them in Arabic.
I trade Nasdaq 100 futures under strict prop-firm risk rules: since August 2024, 100+ evaluations passed and 47 payouts from 8 prop firms. Before that, I wrote 1,000+ Arabic financial articles for international finance publishers. I am looking for a salaried role in market analysis, trading, risk or Arabic market content.

How I trade
One planned Nasdaq 100 trade a day
A systematic approach on NQ futures, prepared around the macro calendar: Fed, CPI, jobs data, yields, the dollar and big-tech earnings.
Built for prop-firm rules
Daily loss limits, trailing drawdown and consistency rules are treated as permanent risk rules. Every week ends with a written review of the plan versus execution.
