Find news that can move market structure, not filler headlines.
Market Desk / futures
Futures context before the first bad decision.
ES, NQ, CL, GC, rates, dollar, volatility, and the session map. The goal is not predicting every tick. The goal is knowing when the tape deserves size.
Today's daily briefingrisk off/Mon, Jun 1
The futures desk is watching whether ES and NQ can hold opening range acceptance with breadth confirmation. If RTY refuses to participate, the move deserves suspicion.
