NQ Futures · Live on YouTube

Trading is a
discipline, not a
lottery ticket.

I'm Žiga "Benchina" Benčina — a funded futures trader from Slovenia. I trade Nasdaq live on YouTube with one framework, a written rulebook, and receipts for everything. No hype, no signals, no lambo thumbnails.

The Method

One framework. Every trade.

Everything I trade and teach runs through SNZCE — a four-step sequence read in order, every single time. If a step is missing, there is no trade.

Structure Narrative Zone Confirmation Entry
STEP 1

Structure

Where price actually is. Protected highs and lows, valid swings, real breaks of structure — filtered from wick games and noise.

  • Protected highs / lows
  • BOS vs reversal
  • Multi-timeframe mapping
STEP 2

Narrative

Why price is moving. Range intentions, liquidity, imbalances — the story that tells you which side to even consider.

  • HTF → LTF pathing
  • Liquidation zones
  • First imbalance
STEP 3

Zone

Where the trade lives. The SNDr — the refined supply & demand zone responsible for breaking a protected swing. No zone, no trade.

  • SNDr identification
  • Origin vs decoy zones
  • Imbalance ranking
STEP 4

Confirmation Entry

When to click. A defined entry trigger matched to your personality and your backtest data — not to your emotions.

  • Sweep & flip entries
  • Zone-percentage entries
  • Two-candle trigger

The Rules

The rulebook I trade by — taped next to my monitor.

I spent my first years breaking every one of these and blowing accounts. Consistency didn't come from a new indicator. It came from writing rules and refusing to negotiate with them.

Every trader I teach builds their own version of this card — then learns to actually follow it.

"Follow your rules."
BENCHINA_RULES.TXT · V4 · NON-NEGOTIABLE
01Risk — never overleverage. 2–3% max per trade.
02Stop loss — never widened. Always behind the zone.
03Analysis — multi-timeframe read before every entry.
04No zone, no trade — price doesn't reach the zone? You don't enter.
05No chasing — a missed move stays missed.
06Cool down — minimum 30 minutes between trades.
07Timing — no entries before 10:00 (10:30 on news days).
08Psychology — when in doubt, stay out.

Live Sessions

Watch the process, not a highlight reel.

Wins, losses, and the boring waiting in between — streamed as it happens. If I break a rule, you'll see that too.

Proof

Receipts, not promises.

Every claim on this site is backed by something you can verify — funded account certificates, processed payouts, and trades called with Discord timestamps before they played out.

Past performance is not a guarantee of future results — that's exactly why I show the process live instead of cherry-picked screenshots. Verify anything on stream.

This isn't just me anymore.

Unfiltered screenshots from the free community — SNDr setups called with timestamps, R banked, evals passed. Names and dates exactly as posted.

Questions

Straight answers.

Do you sell signals?
No, and I never will. Signals teach you to depend on someone else's clicks. Everything here — the streams, the Kit, the Discord — exists to make you an independent trader with your own rules.
Will I make money if I follow you?
I can't promise that, and anyone who does is lying to you. Trading futures involves substantial risk of loss. What I show is a real, rules-based process with verified results — and how to build the same discipline for yourself.
What do you actually trade?
Primarily NQ (Nasdaq futures) on funded prop accounts, using the SNZCE framework — Structure, Narrative, Zone, Confirmation Entry — with the SNDr zone model at its core.
How do I start if I'm brand new?
Download the free Foundation Kit, join the Discord, and watch a few live sessions. That's the whole on-ramp — free, no catch.
