NQ FUTURES · BEHAVIORAL RESEARCH · SESSION ANALYSIS
We document NQ futures session behavior across 515+ trading days, measure the probabilities, and publish a framework that tells you what to expect before each New York session begins. Not direction. Behavior.
515 trading days documented · 2+ years of data · 9 setup combinations mapped
_|THE PROBLEM
The standard trading education model teaches prediction — where will price go? Long or short. Up or down.
The problem is that direction is a consequence. It's what happens after the market's behavioral structure is established across three sessions. By the time direction is obvious, the edge is gone.
What the market reveals first — before any direction is confirmed — is auction behavior. Whether Asia compressed or expanded overnight. Whether London was orderly or chaotic. Whether price is making a balanced two-sided auction or committing to a directional move.
That behavior is measurable. And measurable behavior creates probability edges.
"BEHAVIOR COMES BEFORE DIRECTION. DOCUMENT THE BEHAVIOR AND THE DIRECTION BECOMES A CONSEQUENCE."
THE FRAMEWORK
Every NQ futures trading day runs through three sessions. Each session is classified by its relative range. The combination creates one of nine possible setups — each with a documented historical probability for New York's behavior. This is the complete operating framework.
Hover any setup to reveal its full probability profile. Based on 515 classified trading days.
Full statistical profiles for all nine setup combinations are available to members, including expansion setups and day-of-week breakdowns for each configuration.
THE RESEARCH
| SETUP | n | CT% | DT% | ROT% | TREND% | CHARACTER |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| N/C | 35 | 74.3% | 17.1% | 8.6% | 91.4% | Highest trend rate. Lowest ROT in dataset. |
| C/N | 323 | 72.8% | 13.6% | 13.6% | 86.4% | Dominant setup. 63% of all trading days. |
| N/N | 35 | 60.0% | 14.3% | 25.7% | 74.3% | Active sessions. Confirm at NY open before sizing. |
| C/C | 65 | 46.2% | 26.2% | 27.7% | 72.3% | Maximum compression. Highest DT rate of common setups. |
| E/N | 16 | 56.2% | 12.5% | 31.2% | 68.8% | Elevated ROT. Reduce size. Wait for confirmation. |

TYLER WALDORF
I trade NQ and MNQ futures. I built this framework for my own trading — a way to document what the market actually does across three sessions, instead of relying on intuition or indicators.
515 trading days later, the statistics told a clear story. Session behavior is measurable. And measurable behavior creates probability edges that can be documented, taught, and applied consistently before each trading day begins.
MRTGLE Trading exists to share that research with traders serious enough to use it.
I do not sell signals. I do not predict direction. I sell a framework for reading behavioral probability and two years of documented evidence that it works.
COMMON QUESTIONS
You should be familiar with futures markets and understand how trading sessions work. The framework assumes basic market knowledge. Complete beginners will find the onboarding challenging without some prior futures experience.
No. MRTGLE Trading is a statistical research and education membership. All content is historical data analysis and framework education. We document what the market has done and teach a system for interpreting behavioral probability. We do not tell you what trades to make.
The morning decision framework takes 5 to 10 minutes before each session. Tier 1 requires 30 to 60 minutes per week for the classification study. Tier 2 adds 15 to 20 minutes per day for the morning brief and session review videos.
The dataset. Most trading education teaches patterns based on a handful of examples. This framework is built on 515 classified trading days with documented probability tables for every setup combination. The statistics are derived from real historical data, not backtested indicators or theoretical setups.

Monthly. The first Monday of each month, the prior month's trading days are classified and added to the master dataset. Updated probability tables are published where sample sizes changed meaningfully.
