The System
BUILT FOR A SPECIFIC JOB.
Different market conditions require different tools.
MIRAGE is a selective intraday futures trading system designed to identify structured opportunities during defined market windows. While MIRAGE can be applied to both ES/MES and NQ/MNQ, its primary focus is the Nasdaq futures market, where its approach is particularly well suited to the movement and intraday behavior of NQ and MNQ. Rather than continuously generating signals throughout the session, MIRAGE waits for its specific market structure and reaction conditions to develop before considering an opportunity.
SELECTIVE BY DESIGN.
MIRAGE isn't built to trade every move. It's built to wait for the market behavior it was designed to trade.
WHAT MIRAGE LOOKS FOR
MIRAGE evaluates developing intraday price structure during specific trading windows and looks for defined market reactions before a setup can develop. The system combines location, price behavior, and timing to determine when conditions match the MIRAGE framework. Instead of chasing momentum or attempting to trade every fluctuation, MIRAGE is designed around patience and selectivity.
WHY MIRAGE EXISTS
Markets don't behave the same way throughout the entire trading session. MIRAGE was developed to focus on specific intraday conditions where its underlying market behavior is most relevant. Its structured approach works across NQ/MNQ and ES/MES, while Nasdaq futures have become a particularly strong fit for the system's style.
RIGHT MARKET.
RIGHT WINDOW.
RIGHT CONDITIONS.
Primary Focus
NQ / MNQ
Nasdaq futures provide the movement and intraday characteristics that align especially well with the MIRAGE framework.
Also Supported
ES / MES
MIRAGE can also identify structured opportunities in S&P 500 futures while maintaining the same core systematic approach.
PURPOSE-BUILT. NOT ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL.
FAT WICK does not attempt to build one algorithm that trades every market condition. Each system is designed around a specific combination of market, session, market behavior, structure, and execution style.
The result is a collection of specialized systems designed to perform different jobs inside the FAT WICK trading ecosystem.
BUILT FOR THE WAY FUTURES TRADERS ACTUALLY TRADE.
FAT WICK trading systems can be used as part of a trader's workflow for prop firm accounts or personal live futures accounts, subject to the rules, restrictions, and automation policies of the trader's broker or prop firm.
Prop Firm Traders
Use FAT WICK systems within supported prop-firm environments where the strategy, platform, account type, and method of execution comply with that firm's current rules.
Live Futures Traders
Use the systems as part of a personal futures trading workflow through compatible platforms and execution tools.
Always verify your firm's current trading, automation, copy-trading, and account rules before using any third-party trading system.

NQ / MNQ • ES / MES
Futures trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not appropriate for every trader. Trading systems, algorithms, indicators, and historical results cannot guarantee future profitability. Backtested, hypothetical, and simulated performance have inherent limitations. FAT WICK does not guarantee funded accounts, prop-firm payouts, profits, or trading results. Traders are responsible for understanding and complying with the rules of their broker and/or proprietary trading firm.
