$MES 2min trade of the day for me - #ICT Mentorship 2022

  1. Entry today, finally the one 🙂 3836.50->3900.00 (1:12.7 R/R) 63handles.

ICTs teaching of “support OBs” gave me confidence to stay in the trade. Have marked with a 50% fib.

“Hold into close” 😅

My #SundaySwing ideas for the week of 5/2 based on #TheStrat

Found some time this weekend, so I started my scanners and here is my #SundaySwing 5/1 issue.

Instead of backtesting, I papertraded $BTCUSD with #ICT concepts (FVG/OB).
Got stopped out on both trades. Stops way above the FVG entry candles.
Target was #TheStrat 12hr 2d-1-2d (38205.01), which worked a few mins later 🤷‍♂️

Is Crypto that different?

End of March they said:

“Seasonality in the market for April is always bullish”

“April is a trend month & most bullish of the year, green 80% of the last 20 years”

Market doesn’t care which season we have ;-)

Played around with some video editing today.
Result is this #ICT $NQ_F Long

Seems like I accidentally took the only long possibility today :-)

Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Hindsight $ES_F 1min chart annotating #ICT.
Was not on the trading desk the whole day, except last hour. Backtesting some #ICT concepts and see if I had spotted the move up before it happened.

$ES_F 1min 4/29 annotated Bullish Breaker Example

Stops are pretty wide in current conditions, so 8 handles $ES_F is a huge stop.

It’s currently really quiet on my public timeline, since I take the market hours to watch and learn #ICT strategies.
I annotated the $ES_F 5min chart, in hindsight and this is what I came up with.

Thoughts?

$ES 15min, when you have the correct setup marked on the chart since 08:30AM and still don’t trust that we go that low. Tried to long $ES on small pumps and lost. Instead of trusting my setup #ICT

That way, I missed ~100 $ES handles… #Mental issue

My #SundaySwing ideas for the week of 4/11 based on #TheStrat

Surprise, surprise!
Temperatures around freezing and snow on Friday ruined my plans to work on the outside of the house. Typical April weather.

So I had some time to scan through my watchlist of tickers to find some possible #TheStrat trade ideas for a mid-term swing.

$QQQ Long-term chart
Below #SSS50PercentRule on the Yearly again 👀 #TheStrat

PSA: Due to lack of time this weekend, I probably won’t be able to create a #SundaySwing issue.

This is the first time since Oct 21, but due to the better weather other projects around our house outside have priority. Maybe a short edition, but I can’t promise anything.

$NQ_F paper trade 2022/4/5 - 1:17 R/R short #ICT

Trying to stick to the habit of journaling my papertrades and since today I found a good setup which I planned before ot happened, here is the journal and my thought process. No hindsight this time, as you’ll see on the pictures, they were taken during that trade. But of course, still paper. …

My #SundaySwing ideas for the week of 4/4 based on #TheStrat

New Month and a new quarter, so go lite and let the month open up and see how some of the tickers “open” their quarter, but there were a lot of inside Qtr, so this will get interesting for sure.

I wanted to skip this weeks #SundaySwing issue for #TheStrat setups, but after scanning a bit through my @TrendSpider scanners on new monthly charts, I decided to post one :-)

Newsletter scheduled

Post and @buttondown newsletter finished. (9AM NY time it is)

Enjoy your rest of the weekend!

First, this is drawn all in hindsight after todays close on $ES_F. Those posts help me to learn all that #ICT stuff and getting better at spotting entries right when they happen during trading hours. I get back to theses posts even during the day and find similar setups. I’m nowhere near to …

$NQ_F 4min chart, squeezed inside of two orderblocks. I maybe overlooked the lower one today for an entry long. It looks not much, but would have been 50 handles! #ICT
