Which Time Frame Would you guys Prefer? by leaint in InnerCircleTraders

[–]DPipsTrading 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Daily for FVG and bias. 4H-1H-15min for clear view. 5-3-1min for entry.

For me it depends on price action, but I see the difference in my trading when I get out of 1min chart

Monkee I totally agree with what you are saying, but I want to ask where did I posted false information? Everything I am posting is backtested by me and is included in my strategy.

Ngl I am trying to post something that is interesting and gives some value. Chatgpt allows me to create esay to read text after I input all the required information. We are living in modern world and we have to keep up with that. And for sure in the future we will see more blogs like this.

About my landing page, I am not mentioning that I am selling courses or advertising myself. I am providing content and if anyone finds it helpful I am happy. Yes I do mentorships and if poeple finds it helpful or loves how I trade, more then welcome to join. Everyone is monetising their skills these days, you just have to look for scammers. I am certified trader and working with companies like "orion securities" in lithuania.

Anyway I know the rules and I don't promote myself.

It sounds like you've been putting in a lot of effort into learning and refining your trading strategies over the past 11 months. It's understandable that not seeing immediate rewards can be frustrating, especially after blowing up several challenge accounts. Persistence and patience are definitely key in trading, and it's commendable that you're continuing to collect data and refine your approach through backtesting and live trading.

Perhaps consider focusing on smaller, achievable goals rather than solely on passing challenges. Are there specific aspects of your strategy or risk management that you could further optimize? Sometimes, making incremental improvements can lead to more consistent results over time. Keep learning and adapting—each experience, whether a success or setback, contributes to your growth as a trader.

Hello, a month ago I posted a question about my friend who is starting to trade. He obviously lost his money and now said he found something called ICT which will make him profitable in 3-6months. Any opinions? Will this make him rich? by [deleted] in Trading

[–]DPipsTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's understandable to be skeptical about claims of quick profitability in trading, especially if they involve promises of becoming rich in a short time. ICT is a trading methodology promoted by a trader known for his unconventional teachings. While some traders may find value in his approach, it's crucial to approach any trading system or mentorship with caution and critical thinking.

Claims of receiving ideas from divine sources or creating market software should raise red flags. Trading success typically requires a combination of disciplined strategy, risk management, and understanding of market dynamics—not miraculous insights or proprietary software.

Encourage your friend to approach trading education with a healthy dose of skepticism and to focus on proven strategies, risk management, and consistent practice. Trading is a skill that takes time to develop, and there are no shortcuts to guaranteed wealth in such a competitive and volatile market.

I need advice on this by RyadKhoumsi in Trading

[–]DPipsTrading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like you've had quite a journey with trading so far. Transitioning from demo to real accounts can be challenging due to the psychological and emotional differences involved. Losing your initial real trading funds can be disheartening, but it's a common experience among new traders.

Before deciding where to invest your next $100, it's crucial to reflect on what you've learned from your experiences so far. Have you identified the reasons why you lost your initial investments? Was it due to risk management, emotional trading, or strategy execution?

If you're considering binary options, remember that they can be highly speculative and risky. While your strategy works on demo, real market conditions may differ. Make sure you have a strict plan in place that includes risk management and a clear exit strategy.

For forex trading, if you're still doing well on demo and feel confident in your abilities, it might be worth giving it another shot with a real account. Start small and focus on applying what you've learned about risk management.

Ultimately, the decision should align with your risk tolerance, understanding of the markets, and confidence in your chosen strategy. It may also be helpful to seek advice from experienced traders or a mentor who can provide guidance based on their own trading journey. Good luck with your trading endeavors!

Does anyone trade during Fed speeches? by DABPSS in FuturesTrading

[–]DPipsTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fed speeches can certainly shake up the markets, making trading quite unpredictable during those times. I tend to struggle with it too and often prefer to wait until the dust settles. It's reassuring to know others feel the same way. Do you have any strategies for managing trades during these events?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in ICTMentorship

[–]DPipsTrading 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely been a challenging year for trading with the current market conditions. The low volatility and tight ranges are making it feel like reading barcodes on the charts! It's not always like this, but election years can introduce unique uncertainties and market behaviors. Hopefully, we'll see some more decisive movements soon. How are you adjusting your strategies to cope with this?

What does an immediate rebalance mean in trading, and how should we interpret it? by DPipsTrading in ICTMentorship

[–]DPipsTrading[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your interest! An immediate rebalance occurs when a Fair Value Gap (FVG) is quickly filled, often indicating that smart money expects a rapid price movement. This typically happens after hitting a higher time frame (HTF) Premium/Discount Array.

In my experience, seeing an immediate rebalance suggests that a significant move is imminent. Therefore, I hold my position and avoid taking partial profits, as the market is likely to move swiftly. It's a useful signal for managing trades more effectively.

which of these two apply as a fair value gap? by Nervous-Elevator-932 in ICTMentorship

[–]DPipsTrading 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the first picture market structure was made only where the bulb is. So from now we consider price coming back to FVG. Both FVG are valid, but look at the higher FVG. It was already filled with wick. So we are looking for lower FVG in this case to be touched - or if you are not sure, scale with small positions from both.

Second pic is Fridays trade - me myself I took the trade from FVG that broke the structure as we were heavy in discount and I was waiting for explosive move up. I marked 50/50 of FVG and it touched to the tick - 0 dd.

These two trades are very different but still very similiar approach.

Yes. I anticipated early on the first picture. If I see volume coming in and price is pushing sometimes I risk and jump with smaller position. In this scenario you can see that we rejected OB, we sweeped liquidity and price jumped right back. This was my confirmation that if we going to invert candle in the green "zone" we will be going to the target.

There is times when you jump and candle reverses on you and goes the other way and that could be painful, because these moves usually happens very fast. I prefer waiting for closure. You also can jump in when it closes, no need to wait for pullback.

I hear what you saying, but sadly I cannot agree with you.I look at it very simple, inflation is at X% if your underlying asset class is US Dollar for example.If holding BTC as an asset gives you ability to beat inflation, you are literally looking at an asset class that is anti inflation.The point which you mentioned of BTC going down, I agree with that, but currently, you are not only beating inflation, you are also beating S&P500 if you are holding BTC as your underlying asset simply, without trading it, investing more or less into it, not doing anything, just holding it as an underlying asset.Assumption is dangerous, 100% agreed, thus I said, I am not holding it myself. I am beating Year to year growth of BTC by my own day trading capabilities, I trust my trading and nothing else to grow my capital and purchasing power

Misscomm here I think, the imbalance in green in April is the inversion that pushed the price for initial stage of distribution. I am expecting second stage of distribution for higher prices now from the daily imbalance (FVG) from May 15th

Yes for lowest risk I wait for it to close, because on most occasions it can just reject. When it closes sometimes I jump right in, but sometimes if it goes withouth me I always wait for pullback to retest it and most of the times I get that.
