Patterns Observation.

FVG forces me to revisit the S/D concept. Both fvg n s/d have overlaps with my current strategy but there are trades that I avoid that turned out to be good when taken off fvg n s/d.

Done watching the mentorship series, scalping series, and now on to market maker.

What ifs chart on M1. Testing the S/D plus anti hedging combo.

Now that you have seen FVG they are hard to unsee. I tried to forget them but they pop out like zlines.

FVG is valid but when S/D appear before it then I think it’s also a good choice. There are times when top/bottom S/D are not taken but FVG provided good entries. The key is to dance between them because S/D has a lot of following among the retails traders. Must understand how the mass think and exploit their loopholes coz that’s where the stacks of cash are found

Bias (narrative as ICT calls it) is CRITICAL: Seeking Liquidity or Zeroing.
Another thing is TIME OF DAY. (Killzones)
Momo (displacement) is the third and final nail that gets the ball rollin'. (Wonder what happened to Withnail?)

Only then are FVGs, ZLs, Breakers, blah blah even considered.

It's annoying... how come when I login I always have to re-login and with captcha too?
Can't it be fixed?

You've said it all, pro. 100,000% agree!

It's because you're new, or at least new to posting again (though it still happens on random days for us all).

It is indeed a pain but it's something to do with the added security that had to be put in after the site was continuously bombarded with spam.

I don't know where you are based but your location can have an effect as well.

If it continues, drop Michal a line and see if he can help.

I'm just happy to log in, the board was actually down one time for like a year. LOL

Yeah, it's aggravating and it also says "you've exceeded your # of logins"
What? I only tried ONCE. hehehehehe

I've been here since like 2008. Happens EVERY time it asks for login credentials.
Must be a browser thing. but also happens on all three of my phones, chromebook, macbook air, and mac mini.
Maybe I'm using to many devices. LOL

IKR
It's not like I entered the login incorrectly despite switching between the devices.

Alias man, you're just too humble.

Now, since you guys mentioned it so much I've decided to dedicate my time to gobble up ICT's YT vids.
Upon watching several eps on mentorship I heard his saying Larry... so I also scour his vids for downloads and learn.
Guess I have my hands full for weeks now.

Charts, charts, charts...

I hope you guys caught this bear falling... this is what can happen when the conditions are right....

The bias is still on H1 but, the D1 backing H1's move down. The target for this anchor trade was the low of yesterday.

H1 candles are just flirting with the lower barrier of the pattern on D1 without any meaningful show of strength and then boom!

70R day today. Very sleepy now, gotta watch the series tomorrow. I'm not the brightest kid in school so it might take some re-watches to drill the concept(s) into my brain.

How long have you been trading? How do you even set a 2 pip stop? So 30R yesterday and 70R today. So im guessing you doubled or tripled your account

I worked at a brokerage company back in 2003. My cousin who worked at the company's dealing desk introduced me to this whole thing. Quit in 2004 and have been trading on and off since then.

Doubled my account? No.

Google "PARLAY" or just Youtube it. With it, you can use a ridiculously small risk and gain gigantic amount in no time. Or if you're aggressive like me you can make something that will make people curse you for the rest of their life.

I use a version of it. Then again, I think MO's concept of space is a version of parlay.

But let's just focus on the process of getting the right trade because, without it, even the most sophisticated money management technique is practically useless.

Nice man. Love the ideas. The issue i have always had with using OPM (other peoples money)/parlay, whatever you want to call it, is i will win a trade then lose the next 3 or 4 trades, lose all the profit i made and then some. This type of MM seems to work best with high win rates or am i not seeing something.

I might need an EA to help me enter the market faster than my trade hitting a 1 pip SL on DOW 30

I can get away with 20 to 30 points/pips in the DOW

I've actual been following S&P500 more. I can use a 2pt SL and accidently make 2R to 5R.

Damn man, thats nice in these markets right now. Ive had to bump it up to 10 or 20 points. But i did catch the bottom at like 4160. So cant complain to much.

You probably need 50% to make it work.
