Strategy overview

Price action trading reads the market from price itself — structure, levels and reaction — rather than from indicator signals. What distinguishes this entry is the reference frame it uses: the Globex session, the overnight electronic futures session that trades while the US cash market is closed. Instead of starting the day with a blank chart, the trader arrives at the open with a map already drawn by the night's range, and treats the areas above and below it as the zones where the session's first meaningful decisions get made.

This strategy was decoded from Ant Finances' video "SCALPING FACIL Y CLARO EN EL SYP500 — ESTRATEGIA PARA FUTUROS Y CFDs. PASA TUS PRUEBAS DE FONDEO", a Spanish-language walkthrough aimed squarely at scalpers on the S&P 500 and at traders working through prop-firm funding challenges. That audience shapes the emphasis: the video spends more time on the free "Futuros Globex Session" indicator and on time-zone alignment — making sure the session boxes land correctly relative to your local time and the US open — than on exotic conditions, because a mismarked session invalidates everything built on top of it.

The other thing the source video keeps returning to is patience. Its structure moves from marking the Globex zones, to waiting rather than anticipating, to looking for a reaction plus trend-line confirmation before acting — a sequence discussed across the 1-, 5- and 15-minute charts. This page collects the concept, the indicator context and the source material for a Globex-anchored scalping approach; the video itself remains the primary reference for how the author trades it.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Globex session in futures trading?

Globex is CME's electronic trading session, which runs overnight while the US cash market is closed. Its high, low and range are often used as reference levels for the following regular-session open, since they show where price traded when volume was thin.

Why do scalpers use Globex levels on the S&P 500?

Because the overnight range gives the day session a ready-made frame of reference. Zones just above and below the Globex range are watched as places where price may react, which is exactly what this source video focuses on for intraday S&P 500 scalping.

What is the 'Futuros Globex Session' indicator?

It is the TradingView indicator used in the source video to plot the Globex session on the chart. Its main configurable element is the time zone, which has to be set to match your local time and the US market open so the session is marked on the correct hours.

What timeframes does this approach use?

The video works across the 1-minute, 5-minute and 15-minute charts, which is typical for scalping: the higher intraday timeframes hold the session context while the lower ones are used to time the reaction.
