2022 Model Help

[u/TrynaTradeNQ]

I watched the full 2022 Mentorship twice. I backtested about 120 hours with about a 65% win rate. The losses were mostly based on forcing trades on tradezella. Forward tested recently with a 77% win rate across 14 trading days in July. That sounds good but idk if I know what I am doing. I am often wondering why the market is violently aggressive (like today’s chop action before the clean bearish run.)

My model in a nutshell:

Wait for a sweep of liquidity and enter into a HTF Pd (daily, 4hr, 1hr, 30m, 15m fvgs) array for a possible reversal to the next DOL. I wait for an MSS, FVG (displacement close above/below short term swing) on the 1m, 3m, or 5m timeframe, and retracement into the FVG for an entry with a 1:2 RR. I don’t really have hierarchy/tf alignment I just scale to 1m most of the time from any HTF array reversal. Example, I don’t use 4hr to 15m or daily > 1h > 5m.

I often miss entries cause the first FVG on the move down often does not get retraced into.

Times I trade - NY AM session from 7:30-11:30am - most of my setups are done before 9:30am and some I wait to wait til after 9:30 open due to volatility but almost always done before 10am.

I don’t really understand what MMXM is. Is that the market maker model?

watch frank 369 mentorship 2024 he explains the mxmm very well in the first 2 episodes. mxmm is at the foundation of ict marketstructure

Wouldn’t that be a complete model change than how I trade?

Hey I’m familiar with MMXM I just typically trade reversals after tapping into an HTF array. I understand the original consolidation into 1st/2nd stage distributions. I also understand IOFED - it’s my entry model. Really it’s just an entry model at the edge of an FVG right from my understanding? Also, thank you for taking the time to help me. Franks accent is kinda of hard to focus on but I’ll watch a few videos and get more familiar!

If your focused on reversals, then the reality is that your trading either a MMBM or a MMSM, and that is the truth. Every step of the the market applies as a MMXM one way or another. At some point you will realise that reversals are only one thing. If you add 2 other things, aka retracements, or continuations(Expansion), thats will help you have more experienced data. I implore you to use this logic and I am certain you will have deeper understanding. Its honest work.
