The Power Emini Momentum System is the easiest to use Futures Day Trading system you’ll ever find.
While it’s an institutional-grade trading system and there’s a lot of complexity to the logic behind the scenes, the software itself is dead simple to trade with. There is no ambiguity because the software gives the EXACT Entry, Trailing Stop and Target levels.
And you can easily trade along with the Alerts on any platform using any charting software.
So let’s walk through a trade step-by-step using the Alert from March 20th, 2026 as an example.
We recommend new users start off with the most basic strategy – trading 2 MES Contracts and just shooting for the 2 Targets.
(note the system is using real-time ES data but we’re trading MES)
So prior to the cash session open (9:30 eastern) just open up the Alert Software and you’ll see one line in the System Notes that shows today’s date and which Contract the system is trading. The system comes online at the cash session open.
After the first 5 minutes of the session the software will display the Dynamic Trigger Range and you’ll see the Range High and Range Low pop in the software – both in the System Notes and the middle section.
The Dynamic Trigger Range is simply a visual reference point.
On your 1-minute chart place a Green horizontal line at the Range High and a Red horizontal line at the Range Low. When the price begins to escape the range in either direction, the system will start looking for a potential trade in the direction of the range break.
If there’s enough “forward momentum” in the direction of the range break it will give an Alert. When it gives an Alert the Alert Banner will pop into the upper section of the software and you will hear an audio alert “Power Emini Trade Alert…”. It was a Short in this case and you can see below the Alert Banner is red.
Notice there was a Short Alert at 9:38 that didn’t trigger-in (fill). That’s because the price never had a “1-minute close past” the Alert Price / Trade Price Barrier and the price subsequently reversed. A little while later at 9:50 the system gave another Short Alert which you can see displayed on the Alert Banner and again in the System Notes.
The Trade Price Barrier is simply a line in the sand that the price must cross before we pull the trigger and enter the trade.
When the software gives an Alert, the very next 1-minute candle that closes 1-tick or more PAST the Alert Price / Trade Price Barrier “triggers-in” the trade. The trade could fill on the very next 1-minute candle close or it could take 5-10-15+ minutes before there’s a 1-minute close past the Barrier. Not every Alert triggers-in because the price might change directions and the system “resets”.
Be sure you understand how the system takes the Entry based on a 1-minute close past the barrier which is covered in detail here on the Entry Trigger page.
On the 1-minute chart you’re watching the price action and as soon as there’s a 1-minute closing candle (or price bar) at 6622.50 or lower you’d simply “go short” 2 Contracts with a Market Order.
You can see in the System Notes that this Alert filled / triggered-in and at 9:51 the Entry Confirmation occurred at 6619.50.
(It doesn’t matter if your Entry is slightly different than the system because a little slippage works both ways and evens out over time. In other words sometimes you’ll get a better fill than the system).
On the same line in the System Notes as the Entry Confirmation level you’ll see the “Initial Stop”. Just set a hard stop on both Contracts at that level.
At the exact moment the Entry Confirmation (fill on the order) took place, the software prints another line that shows the 2 Targets.
So you’re in a short trade with 2 MES Contracts and you have a hard stop set at 6637.50 and you’re looking to sell 1 Contract at 6611.50 (Target 1) and 1 Contract at 6592.50 (Target 2).
You can choose to set GTC sell orders at the 2 Targets or you can choose to monitor the trade and sell manually. There are pros and cons to both methods which is discussed in the Notes and Commentary section of the website.
Six minutes after the Entry at 9:57 (above) the Trailing Stop tightened as price was beginning to approach Target 1. Note the green “proximity indicator” was getting close to Target 1 and notice the Traction Indicator was showing we took -3.50 points of “heat” before price moved as much as +6.75 points in our favor towards the Target.
At 9:58 (as you see in the system notes above) the price hit Target 1 and you’d sell 1 Contract for an 8.00 point gain. Notice the green check to the right of Target 1 lit up and showed the point gain at that Target.
At the same time Target 1 was hit the system tightened the Trailing Stop on the remaining Contract to 6627.00. You can see the Trailing Stop move in the System Notes and there’s a corresponding “audio alert”. So you simply drag your stop order on the chart to the new level.
At 10:02 the Trailing Stop tightened again so you’d just tighten your Stop to 6621.50.
Nine minutes later at 10:13 price hit Target 2 at 6592.50 for a 27.00 point gain from the Entry.
You’d sell the second Contract there and you’re “done for the day”.
Once both Targets get hit, the system isn’t going to issue any more Alerts that session. It will keep the trade open and continue to tighten the Trailing Stop for users that are trading more than 2 Contracts for the possibility of catching a “runner”.
March 20th, 2026 was a good day for the Momentum System.
Both Targets got hit for a total of 35.00 points (trading 2 Contracts) in the first 43-minutes of the session.
Keep in mind every session is different and the system adapts to any type of market conditions. The distance to the Trailing Stops and Targets are a function of the current real-time ATR’s in the market.
