That was a nice Market Maker Buy Model on $ES_F this afternoon session. #ICT
Still learning to spot it early and not when it “happened” to get a possible target to trade into.
Instead of trading and watching this price action… my view is way better on this evening here.
Recap of 6/17 $SPX500 (futures $ES_F) with a little long trade. 5min annotated ala #ICT.
Adjusted the STP to quick after taking profit and got stopped out of my runner before target hit.
Instead of trading on a FOMC day (I don’t like the PA and Vol), I did some #ICT charting of the AM session on $ES_F. Traded the long at open on paper. In hindsight I should’ve aimed for the Buyside at 3793, but was happy with the 1:2 R/R on that trade.
The afternoon session on $ES had such a clean price action today.
Here is my take with the #ICT Mentorship Model.
Including a small trade I took based on this setup. 1:7.5 R/R, happy with that!
A very clean and nice price action currently in $ES in the afternoon session. I will definitely post my annotated #ICT chart here. I like it very much :-)
Sometimes I share my study notes of #ICT Mentorship 2022 Episode 38.
I have written a lot of notes of that Classic Buy Day in my PKM, here is an excerpt:
- Correct Daily Bias if Power of 3 is identitfied and SMT happens around open
- Watch for OTE, FVG or SMT entries
Forward-testing $NQ_F overnight session, when everything works like anticipated, feels so great every time! #ICT
$ES_F 5min - My “no-trade” annotated #ICT chart of the 6/2 afternoon session. NFP-edition
In hindsight (obviously) it was a “missed” move, but during trading hours it felt best to not trade that setup today for me.
$ES_F 5min - my annotated chart from the morning session - entry long #ICT
Papertrading $ES_F 15min, lets see how this plays out later on. #ICT
$MES 2min trade of the day for me - #ICT Mentorship 2022
- 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” 😅
$NAS100 15min and 60min setup, not sure how this will work out, so no trade, just watch and learn #ICT

My #SundaySwing ideas for the week of 5/2 based on #TheStrat
Sunday, May 1, 2022
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 ;-)
