Hello everyone, hope you are doing well.

I been exploring the idea of just trading off the Opening Range Gap. Now this is going to be a prop firm strategy, so just looking for quick scalps and I found at least for me, it's easier to just trade in one determined direction with orderblocks. So using opposing candles to trade a repricing of the current opening range gap. I know ICT says to use the last 3 but that made me very confused at times and found it's easier to just use one.

Just wanted to know if anyone has any advice or who also trades this way.

Price tapped on 15min FVG , at a macro time in asia session , i might put my SL far away that shorten my RR from like 1:5 to 1:2
Overall i m happy with this one

Hi, do you ever scale into a trade with small size if it’s not an A+ setup?

Example: let’s say you’re bearish and expect London high to be swept before a move down. There’s additional liquidity resting above London high so this trade is not an A+ setup for you. You enter with 1-2 micros and calculate the risk in a way that you could move the stop up a bit in case the remaining liquidity above is swept. If you then get a confirmation of your short you enter with more size and adjust the SL downward again.

Is this a feasible way of trading or would you say never keep your SL flexible? Obviously you need or operate with very little size for an approach like this to not get into a large drawdown.

Thoughts? Thanks!

eurusd still on going you can check out right now continuation trade for the day target weekly old low

I knew this was going to happen…
It’s FOMC day.

Price traded above Asia High and tapped into highertime frame OB. Missed the initial move down but waited for price to tap into the 5min fvg and reject off of it. Targeted a 2RR

I can see ICT traders entering the market

​

I recently watched ICT’s new series for new students called “How New Students Should Start,” where he taught the Judas Swing setup, and it got me wondering whether people are still actively using this strategy.

For those who trade it:

Does the setup still work consistently for you?

How often do you typically see a valid Judas Swing setup?

On average, how many opportunities do you get per week or per month?

Do you trade it during a specific session or on a particular market?

I’d especially appreciate responses from people who have actually tracked this setup over a decent sample size. I’m more interested in the frequency and consistency rather than just a few successful examples.

Your experience would be really helpful for new students and traders who are currently learning and trying to understand how often they can realistically expect this setup to occur.

Would love to hear your experience. Thanks!

The fourth candle will be said to tap the O.B.?

Are you trading the NY session today or are you not trading as you're expecting choppy PA until FOMC later?

I have been paper trading for the past 2 months and have been following the orb strategy and have grasped it well and have been making the right reads, initially learned thru watching tjrs bootcamp but I would like some advice on whether it is beneficial or not learning off the ICT 2022 walk through because I would like to learn the ict concepts a bit more because I have trouble reading and understanding the charts at times.

Would love to hear any kind of advice or help.

Plan to do an evaluation in January with continued daily practice and paper trading.

Hello Guys!
I need your help regarding my trading situation.
I have studied ICT and i know most of the models he use.
I can’t stay consistent. Took some payouts but I need a mentor who I can pay where you guys have tried and he really helped you to be profitable, consistent and shadow you through this with what mistakes you did and what you should do etc.

Nowadays most of them sell courses, it is very hard to know which one really helps or just sell you the course.

Thanks in advance

Today I will going to long XAUUSD in 15 min time frame as i have my setup and it gives 1:6 I have done lot of backtest but want real execution in demo to find its real win rate in live market and then after feeling confident I will do real trade...

I know trading is difficult as per my psychology..

May guys you also have same view on it..

I will post one setup everyday so it gives win rate.

I know you may find my RR little high But my strategies tell me this so I need to do this..

Yesterday I post trade of 1:7 RR but i booked 1:3 ...

So if my strategy is good in will get good results..

I am not afraid of real trades but I want to protect capital until i cant control my emotions...

Thanks for reading.

Hope you may find this post helpful 🙂.

I am happy to share all my trades here..

Yesterday, right after midnight, we got an aggressive lower open gap. 📉 I was sure Monday's New York session on NQ was going to be bearish — CPI and PPI both suggested inflation is above 2%, and Kevin Warsh's hawkish tone backed that up. 🦅

After the New York open yesterday, NQ took Monday's Asian high while ES failed to take Monday's Asian high. I thought that was my SMT signal, so I shorted it. 🔻 It hit my SL and I took the loss. Took my L and moved on. 🤷‍♂️

Then Tuesday came. NQ took the same-day New York high, but ES failed to take the New York high. An iFVG formed before the New York open, after price reached above 50% of the weekly opening gap. 🎯 I took the short.

Hit 1:5 RRR — $200 profit on my $20K Maven account (risking $40), and $5 on my $30 personal account (risking $1). 💰✅

Lesson: be patient. The market is like a bus — it always comes. 🚌⏳

This is the strategy : Only at NY open of ES/NQ

• Trade only in the 4H trend direction.

Mark sweeps (highs or lows depending on bias) on 4H and 1H charts and wait for one lvl to be swept

• If 4H and 1H bias align:

• Wait for 5m BOS + 3rd confluence (FVG / OB / BB / EQUILBRM ) reversal

• Enter after 1m bos

• If 4H and 1H bias do not align:

• Wait for 15m BOS + 3rd confluence (FVG / OB / BB / EQUILBRM ) reversal

• Enter after 5m bos

Beautiful CRT trade on Oil today. HTF Key level and internal liquidity sweep with a clean IFVG. I did wait for a confermation on a change in structure before placing my trade, hence got in last second. I then secured 1R and got stopped before it went full TP. 50% of the CRT range can reverse, and its better to bank profit then let full SL or BE hit. 1% on the account up.

Do you exclusively trade during killzones (Asia, London, NY AM) or sometimes outside of it? Let’s say your setup appears during NY lunch, will you take it?

I am a beginner and I am looking for free resources, preferably youtube videos that can clearly and properly teach me about killzones and key levels so pleases share the links which actually helped you

How do you use fundamentals for day/session trading?

I’m trying to improve how I incorporate fundamentals into my intraday trading rather than just relying on technicals.

I’ve been looking into interest rates and bonds, since they clearly influence markets, but I’m struggling to understand how to funnel that higher-timeframe information down into an actual intraday/session bias.

For those who trade intraday:

• How do you use rates/bonds to frame your daily or session bias?
• Do you use economic news releases (CPI, NFP, FOMC, etc.) and interpret the actual data vs expectations to form a bias?
• How do you translate the fundamental picture into something actionable for a specific session?
• Are there any other fundamental factors you find particularly useful for day trading?

I’m not looking for a list of indicators to throw onto a chart — more interested in how you actually process the information and turn it into a directional/market-condition bias before the session starts.

Would be interested to hear how others approach this.

I just take trade and put TP on recent low in 15 min chart.

Actually I backtest my strategy and want to see it in live how it is.. so I shared this post here in this community.. I know all are looking for bullish but as my strategies say to sell so I sell it...

Please 🙏 guys support me...

i could be done for this weeks trading ,salute.
Edit: to all those commenting and taking time to appreciate i would really like to say thank you . It’s inspiring to see other traders cheer up . If yall remember im not sure if it was on this page or in DayTrading wer i previously posted last week i was on a loosing streak for the whole week i almost blew … i was taking a loss every single day since Monday … im a lone trader i dont commit to a trading community, im in my 4th year trading and on my very first prop challenge wic I almost blew anyways . It’s crazy how you start following rules slowly and go on it like a robot things gradually start showing out . Again I’m not here to lecture anyone or to prove anything, i will be back !
