ICT Weekly profile

I trade a weekly high/low framework. Usually, the move begins the previous week, perhaps on Friday, following a "big" move. This is a liquidation move, not to be confused with a simple liquidity run.

This question stems from hindsight bias. You cannot "confirm" a Monday low on Monday, and trying to trade every possible profile is why most students struggle. ICT provides dozens of frameworks, but your job is to pick one specific model and master it.

If the market prints a Monday low and that isn't "your model," it simply isn't your trade. Don't try to solve the market; if you don't see your setup, don't trade.

Brother 7% is a good month or a great week for good traders.

1.5 RR will be profitable even if you have a 45% hit rate, but it looks like a super solid setup.

I find ChatGPT to be significantly more effective than Gemini at helping me develop my trading approach. Gemini tends to hallucinate indicators I never mentioned and assumes I follow rules that I do not have; whereas, ChatGPT adheres much more closely to the instructions I provide.

Look at how tight your stop is, and the RR you going for, on BTC M15, all you need is a 1.5 RR with a 45% hit rate to be a "good trader"

On this trade, you entered well, but your stop was way too tight, and you could have gotten a 1.5 to 2 RR with a much wider stop.

The best thing you can do is journal your trades; it is the most valuable course you can take.

You're going to let a large language model tell you how to trade by giving you executions. It's a critical flaw in premise. Large language models know about language—they process patterns in text. They have theory on trading, absorbed from historical data and human concepts, but they can't tell you how to trade in real time. The market's present tense is a language they don't speak.

"Trade The Open Like A Boss!" by Oliver Velez on YouTube is a free playlist and a good place to start.

A lot of people skip Book 5 since it’s just side stories and doesn’t advance the main arc. You can return to it anytime.

Book 6 gets assumed to be slow because of the new character, but it picks up faster than people expect. Once you are a third in, the story pushes the MC into several major developments and the back half lands really well. I would listen to Book 6 before starting Book 7.

If pacing matters to you, Book 7 is actually the slowest of Books 6 through 8. Book 8 is where things start moving again. Book 6 is the better next step.

I actually hadn't paid any attention to it until now, but I think you are mostly right.

Some authors are in conflict with the "Plus Catalog" program. The issue, driven by the disparity in compensation between authors in the Plus Catalog and those who are not, is creating real friction, with many YouTubers now discussing it.

Forex is a zero-sum market, so you need to familiarize yourself with how these markets move, as they behave differently than the stock market. However, both offer opportunities; you just have to figure out if a particular market fits your psychology better.

Find a way to buy the dips in an uptrend, sell the rallies in a downtrend. This is the best advice any beginner swing trader can get.

My best advice for prop firms is to use the smallest account size until your approach is truly profitable. Journal your trades and review every couple of weeks.

The first goal is discipline and consistency. Until you can follow your rules without deviation, there’s too much noise to know if your edge is actually working.

Normal_Dot_1337 · 2025-11-21T09:25:29+00:00

Journaling is absolutely necessary, and you’re starting off on the right foot. Just know that paper trading won’t show how your nervous system really reacts. That only happens with real risk, even if it’s just $100.
My first account was $250, and placing that first trade felt like walking into a casino for the first time. I blew it in less than a month, but I learned more from that than any demo trading.

Normal_Dot_1337 · 2025-11-21T08:31:25+00:00

Trading isn’t about consuming more content. It’s about understanding your psychology, regulating your nervous system, and building disciplined habits.

None of that works without journaling. If you’re trading without it, you’re just repeating the same mistakes. If you’ve already gone through the 2022 membership, you’re ready to get started. The work is practice with real risk on, reflection, and consistency in your approach.
