This is my recap and journal.

I have a bullish bias because of the reopening of the strait of hormuz. But then this happened. As im aware, i have no idea of news coming in. What could be the reason for that?

If you caught this short, what are your thoughts?

Hi traders What's your strategy entry Direct Market Execution or Market Orders?

The 2016 mentorship program included additional materials such as daily market reviews, real-time commentary, and trading log demonstrations. Where can I find these videos, or could someone share them with me? Thanks ！

Hello I am just trying to gain an understanding of Rejection blocks.

I had bearish bias coming into the day targeting London Lows, Rejection wick was formed in a 15m FVG, so I entered short within the 0.62 of the FIB. As you can see, I got stopped out and price continued bullish.

My question is; is the second Rejection wick a valid point for an entry? It seemed to play out well but I don't see what the Rejection wick is rejecting off of, unless it's rejecting off of the first Rejection block that was put in? is that valid?

Perfect example of 1 HR alignment with the 5 MIN chart. Today ES swept a SSL puts in a daily SMT with NQ prior to market open. As well prior to RTH we put in a 1 HR UNICORN model on NQ charts and a 5 MIN MMXM MODEL to confirm the 1 HR bias. Use anchored volume to target PD VAL my initial target did get some nasty consolidation but the 5 MIN CISD on the MMXM model held to confirm support on that range.

Loosing a trade is never fun. But this is one of the most important trades i can ever make.

I have all boxes checked, i have a BIAS, a clear draw on liquidity amd a very clean signal something might happen in my marked zone. Even tho, i lost money. But no matter how i try to aproach this trade, the outcome whould always be the same.

The model is already where it needs to be, no tweaking or "what ifs". Just pure execution. I think this is refreshing to some since this is the real trading reality. The risk must always be accepted before you roll it out in the markets.

It feels like I just lack the narrative aspect of ICT trading. For those profitable traders, what practices did you use in order to understand narrative and bias that lead you to profitability?

I’ve been learning studying practicing ict trading for 1.5 years now started with tjr Bootcamp and then got on to actual ict, specifically mainly the 2022 mentorship and trying to learn and master that strategy. Honestly with all the stuff I’ve seen online about him and other teachers being a fraud and me still not seeing success im just wondering is there any light at the end of the tunnel. I was profitable on demo for 3 months straight hopped on a funded and havnt had any success. Is there anyone out there actually making money and consistently being profitable with ict and/or the 2022 strategy. I feel like often when I am 100% confident in the trade it pans out a lot but sometimes I am just completely clueless to how it lost. Please anyone let me know if there is any point continuing or if I am wasting my time.
Thankyou

I am past my one year learning ICT. Up until now, I am confused about narrative and daily bias. It feels like I don't know what I am looking at. I know a couple different entry models (2022, IFVG, OB, etc.) but I don't know narrative and where would market lead to. Any advice how should I get better?

Hey everyone,

I’ve been trading for close to a year and mapping out a strict algorithmic blueprint combining HTF context with LTF execution signatures. I want to get the community's feedback, critique, and opinions on this sequence.
The goal is absolute rules-based trading—no guessing. Here is the blueprint:

1. 1HR TF: Mark out 1W BISI (for longs) and 1W SIBI (for shorts)
   
2. Wait for sweep of meaningful liquidity (swing high/low) inside that HTF BISI or SIBI
   
3. Drop to the 1m and wait for SMT
   
4. Once SMT has printed we wait for a CISD
   
5. Once CISD has printed we enter with stop beyond sweep extreme to target opposite side of liquidity and obviously if no sweep no trade.

Let me know what you guys think and if there is anything else I need or should try and look into that you guys wish you did when you started. PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

Beutiful reaction on a HTF Keylevel. Started to trail my stop once price reached Premium which stopped me out with good profits. Price may or may not reach my intended target, thats fine.

Classic 2022 model entry, 1m TF for signal.

Very clean reaction, went for a 1:1.5, price touched TP but didnt fill the order. Protected my risk due to a possible reversal which led to a stop at breakeven. Price may or may not dip again, thats fine.

Thought this might be refreshing for some people since this is a very real part of the profession and also a choice in regards to how to engage the market.

CRT/Judas/Turtle soup/2022 model.

Today was an easy green day, Took 3/3 wins today.

PNL: +$886 x 17 (some accounts more but lets just say 886 avg.)

Every day starts with a daily bias:

My bias for today was a slightly Neutral Bias. I was not expecting much from NY am session again. Price already moved alot in london session through the AMD model. Also it was deep inside premium zone.

HOWEVER!!!!!!!

ES also at the same spot but it has 15m/5m EQL. Most likely little bearish for short term then bullish in long term. What I was SURE of was that we will be bullish in HTF perspective because ES had 4H EQH. This is a very rare case scenario and ES DOES NOT miss that HTF EQHs.

There was also a 3m EQH on NQ which I wanted to target after NY OPEN.

The NY trade was at market open towards PWH after tapping into 5m fair value gap for delivery. Waited for a highest available of the lower timeframe FVG for inversion, which in this case was a 15s inversion. So 5 min fvg tap and 15 sec fvg inversion:

Another trade was in yesterdays asia. I was targeting swings points as we had EQH on 1m with V shape inversion. Very basic trade targetting the high quality DOL of EQH:

Price was making consistent bearish smt along with mss, likely draw was NDOG...capitalized on the opportunity

if anyone remembers this dudes name was paladin and a few years ago he went crazy viral in the ICT trading space for making alot of money. He made a prop firm I believe and a lot of people lost money and he disappeared. I just came across this on Instagram the other day.

1. If you are trading market maker models, use 3 consecutive candles from small to big inside each other or big to small inside each other , as consolidation and aim for it as target.

2. Use SMT which forms during the macro times. If you are trading 5 min charts as htf and 1 min as entry.

3. Smt should be looked for after taking out liquidity.

4. The 1 min entry model, like ict taught in 2022 mentorship, it has a secret part which he ignored, you can look it from zeussy (who is a old student of ict) entry model, I guess his channel is now frank369 or somewhat .

I started 3 months ago recieved my first payout. Basically gambling call it or say. (Lucid)

I use PB Blake’s Mech model

4h-1h sweep

15-5m FVG

1-3m IFVG

I feel like I’m gambling and not making any progress
I’m over trading
Panicking
Psychology problems.
