The purpose of CME Group’s Master the Trade: Futures course is to provide new traders with additional educational resources to increase their understanding of futures contracts and trading.

This trade plan has been designed to be a companion piece and workbook throughout this course and beyond.  Once completed, you can use the information as a resource as you trade. One of the benefits of using a trade plan is to help the trader minimize or reduce emotional decision-making that could negatively impact their performance.
