Serious Alpha is a premium trading education system built exclusively around ES futures reversal trading. It combines a comprehensive video course with a proprietary TradingView indicator that scores, grades, and alerts setups in real time. One instrument, one strategy, one system — no noise.

Serious Alpha is designed for funded and serious retail traders who want a systematic, quantified approach to ES futures. If you’re tired of subjective analysis, indicator clutter, and guessing whether a setup is good enough to take — this is built for you. You should be comfortable with TradingView and have a basic understanding of futures markets.

Specialization is the edge. ES (S&P 500 E-mini futures) is the most liquid futures contract in the world, with tight spreads, transparent order flow, and predictable session structure. By focusing on one instrument, we can build precision-tuned scoring models that account for ES-specific behaviors — session transitions, correlated markets (NQ, TICK, ADD, VIX, bonds, DXY), and institutional activity patterns. A system that tries to trade everything trades nothing well.

Three things. First, every setup is quantified with a 0–20+ scoring system — you never guess whether a trade is worth taking. Second, the indicator does the heavy lifting: scanning, scoring, grading, and alerting you in three stages (Scan → Setup → Signal) so you don’t need to stare at charts all day. Third, the entire system is built around one strategy on one instrument — reversal trading on ES. No filler modules on forex basics or crypto hype. Just depth.

The Serious Alpha System includes a 14-module video course that covers the complete reversal trading strategy from first principles. You get the full strategy in Module 1 — no drip-feeding, no artificial suspense. The remaining modules build depth: market structure, session awareness, trade management, journaling, and psychological frameworks drawn from the best trading books ever written. The system also includes the proprietary SA Reversal System indicator, 25-chapter User Guide, Alpha Read library, desktop and mobile setup guides, community access, and lifetime updates.

Alpha Reads are premium book summaries — 26 volumes covering the most important trading books ever written, from Trading in the Zone to Technical Analysis of the Financial Markets. Each summary distills the key concepts and includes practical “SA Application” sections showing exactly how each idea connects to the Serious Alpha system. They’re included with the system.

No. The system is self-contained. The Alpha Reads are a supplementary library — think of them as accelerated mentorship from the best trading minds in history. Most traders dip into them as they progress through the system, starting with Trading in the Zone and Come Into My Trading Room.

The SA Reversal System runs on TradingView. You’ll need a TradingView account with access to ES futures data. The indicator works on desktop and mobile — same scoring, same alerts, same precision.

Every potential reversal is scored on a 0–20+ point scale based on multiple confluence factors: price location, momentum extremes, volume, candlestick patterns, correlated market signals, and more. Higher score = more confluence = higher probability. Signals are graded from C (weakest) through A+ (strongest, requiring 14+ points). You always know exactly why a signal fired and how strong it is.

The indicator alerts you in three escalating stages. Stage 1: Scan — conditions are developing, stay aware. Stage 2: Setup — multiple factors are aligning, watch for entry. Stage 3: Signal — all conditions confirmed on a closed candle, the setup is live and graded. This means you don’t need to watch charts all day. The system watches for you and escalates when it matters.

This is the single most important execution rule. The indicator fluctuates in real time as it monitors the developing picture — that’s it doing its job. But confirmed signals are based on closed candles only. You never act on a developing signal. Every entry is confirmed, every decision is deliberate. This one rule eliminates the majority of false signals and impulsive trades.

The indicator is designed for the 15-minute chart. It also pulls data from the 1-hour timeframe automatically for structural context. The 15-minute view is the primary recommended setup and is what the system is built around.

The dashboard is a real-time information panel on your chart that shows everything at a glance: current session and time zone, primary setup status, market signal readings, setup radar with directional bias, and scoring breakdowns. It’s your mission control — no need to check multiple sources or flip between tabs.

Absolutely. The indicator ships with 40+ built-in color themes — from institutional-grade (Gunmetal, Vantablack) to high-energy (Rainbow Pulse, Plasma Core) to luxury (Whiskey Neat, Black Orchid). You can also color candles by theme and enable zone highlights. New themes are added regularly.

A TradingView account with access to ES futures data, plus data feeds for correlated markets (TICK, ADD, VIX, bonds, NQ, DXY). Most TradingView plans with CME data include these. A futures brokerage account is needed for live trading, but you can paper trade while learning.

Yes. The TradingView mobile app supports the indicator, including the dashboard and alerts. You get the same scoring, same signals, same precision on your phone as on desktop. The three-stage alert system is particularly powerful on mobile — you can go about your day and only look at charts when the system tells you to.

The indicator makes multiple security requests (15-minute, 1-hour, TICK, ADD, bonds, NQ, VIX, DXY) which can cause initial loading time. This is normal. Once loaded, it should run smoothly. If you experience persistent lag, try reducing the number of other indicators on your chart or upgrading your TradingView plan for faster data.

Don’t touch anything. Use all default settings. Watch how the indicator scores setups, where signals fire, and how the dashboard changes throughout the trading session. Your only job in weeks 1–2 is observation. In weeks 3–4, set up your alerts and fine-tune notification preferences. Month 2+ is when you explore advanced settings.

Typically 3–5 setups per day, depending on market conditions and volatility. Not all will be A+ grade — the system is designed to show you everything while making it clear which setups have the highest probability. Quality over quantity.

Yes. The core structural settings are industry-standard values validated across decades of market data. Changing them doesn’t improve results — it just makes the indicator behave differently from what the system teaches. The Indicator User Guide covers exactly which settings to experiment with and which to leave alone.

Serious Alpha was built by a U.S. military veteran who brought the same discipline, systems thinking, and precision from military service into trading. The system is the product of years of development, testing, and refinement — not a weekend project. Learn more on our About page.
