OVERVIEW

What You’ll Learn in Gala Trades’s Options and Futures Day Trading System Masterclass

‍

This free masterclass is Gala Trades’s complete day trading system, broken down piece by piece from a verified profitable trader with over $5 million in trading profits since 2020, a 53% win rate, and a 2.78 profit factor. Gala walks through why he reads trend using higher highs, higher lows, lower highs, and lower lows instead of trend lines, how he does all his analysis on the hourly timeframe, and why he only trades the regular New York session where the real volume is. You’ll learn his pivot-based level analysis with a confidence rating system (solid levels, opening price levels, invalidated levels) that directly determines position sizing, and his two-candle framework (engulfing and hammer/inverse hammer) that reveals where buyers and sellers are protecting levels.

‍

Gala then teaches his three core setups (break and retest, rejection, and bounce) with clear rules on two-minute and five-minute timeframes, how to size up on solid levels and down on invalidated ones, how he uses Bookmap as a confirmation tool, and the full journaling workflow in TradeZella. He covers when to trade options versus futures, closes with three real trade examples including a $25K Tesla puts trade and an $18K Nvidia calls trade with full mistake analysis, and runs a live pre-market preparation session building the full plan from scratch on Apple, AMD, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Palantir, QQQ, SPY, and Tesla.

Who is Gala Trades?

Gala Trades is a full-time options and futures day trader who has made over $5 million in trading profits since 2020. He is known for a simple, repeatable style and for sharing his yearly numbers publicly through live broker logins.

‍

What are options and futures?

Options are contracts that give the buyer the right (but not the obligation) to buy or sell an underlying asset at a set price before expiration. Futures are binding contracts that require both buyer and seller to transact at a set price on a future date. Both are leveraged derivatives: options give you asymmetric upside with a defined risk (the premium), while futures give you direct exposure with symmetrical risk and reward. Gala trades options on trending days for exponential profit growth and futures on choppy days to avoid IV crush.

‍

What are Gala’s three core setups?

Break and retest (price breaks a level then returns to confirm), rejection (price fails at a level and reverses), and bounce (price reacts off a level in the direction of the trend). All three are traded on two-minute and five-minute timeframes with minimum 2R targets.

‍

What markets does Gala trade?

Primarily options and futures on names like Apple, AMD, Amazon, Google, Nvidia, Palantir, QQQ, SPY, and Tesla. About 80% options, 20% futures, all during the New York regular session.

‍

When should I trade options versus futures?

According to Gala, options for trending days (exponential profit growth), futures for choppy days (to avoid IV crush). Lesson 8 breaks down the exact decision framework.
