One Ring To Rule Them All
Don’t let them district you.
No asset in the world has offered the total package that ES futures do.
They’re faster than ETFs.
More liquid than crypto.
More stable than tech stocks.
And more powerful than bonds or gold.
And here’s the kicker: this isn’t some speculative spike.
Any rally will be backed by strong corporate earnings, economic data, and a historic rotation into U.S. equity risk.
ES delivered the upside—without the drama.
While Bitcoin did rise from its April low, that headline number doesn’t reflect the ride it took to get there.
The path wasn’t smooth—it was extremely volatile.
Price would often surge or plunge 10–20% within a single trading session, making it difficult to hold positions without getting stopped out or panicked into a loss.
At some points during this rally, traders who were long Bitcoin had to endure drops as steep as 60% from local highs within hours or even minutes, especially in thin weekend trading or during liquidation cascades. That kind of drop wipes out leveraged positions, even if the overall trend is upward.
Smaller Stuff (e.g. other markets, Russell 2000):
Their liquidity is thin, spreads are wider (0.1%–0.3%), and they are significantly more volatile. These are hard to scale into or out of, especially during market stress. While they occasionally outperform, their behavior is erratic, and they often underperform in institutional flows.
You only need one ticker: ES.
It’s more than a futures contract—it’s a filter.
A tool to separate signal from noise, skill from speculation.
That’s why it’s the benchmark—the measuring stick for who’s actually good.
Because in a world addicted to complexity, the edge lies in choosing clarity, control, and consistency.
This isn’t just the smartest trade.
It’s the most complete asset in the world.
