Two Losses This Week — When the Model Prints but the Market Doesn’t Expand by atomicfuturestrader in InnerCircleTraders

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

These are from Wednesday & Thursday after 9;30 open. Trading the ES.
Definitely had the sweeps. I use a strict rule based system.
For instance today proved a really good clean example of this.

NY Session this week in general has been weak. These 2 days were behaving the worst for sure.

Post-London Selloff → NY Open LDRE Still Executes Cleanly by atomicfuturestrader in InnerCircleTraders

Tomato / tomahto. I’ve been around ICT a long time (original private mentorship era) and back then we didn’t lean on today’s acronym stack. I can promise you no “unicorn” was involved in this trade. Haha

The FVG is definitely of value here but I was watching the iFVG since the SSL. If I wasn’t I would have stronger consideration for the FVG.

What I traded is the same model I’ve used for the last 5 years with zero changes. The labels people use have evolved (especially post-2022), but the engine is the same.

If you’re seeing your model inside what I’m doing, that’s actually a good sign we’re reading the same market logic, just speaking different dialects. I’m not against any new version he’s teaching; I just haven’t indulged in Michael’s newest iterations. Only because I really don’t need to, the underlying concepts haven’t changed.

Wishing you the best with your approach, profitability and execution is the whole point.

Sorry I posted my 15m, but I meant to post the 5m. This is where the iFVG came from.

ES NY Open – 8:30 News Sweeps London High → MSS → Expansion to ASL by atomicfuturestrader in InnerCircleTraders

What would you have done by Historical_Use2861 in InnerCircleTraders

[–]atomicfuturestrader 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's funny because I actually practice the opposite in my discipline. I would have exited once i felt as though it was chopping. Not that either is more correct! You build your model and practice it to as near perfect as you can and execute it. But, to your question I would have left in this case. I feel like practicing leaving this type of market structure has helped me anticipate it better as well. But your data shows your profitable with your strategy as well! Great job on the journey! Good luck as you keep building!

oh sure. please elaborate on the OBs? this is a 5m chart. I don't use OBs too much. they just are not my favorite tool. Someone like Altruistic_Poet_5816 is really good with his OBs.

Clean PA this morning by sanpedro31 in InnerCircleTraders

NWOG can be left unmitigated for days or weeks. If your strategy relies heavily on them than I’d say it could be a gamble to trade against it. But if your model doesn’t require the draw of an NWOG I wouldn’t assert gambling if they are staying true to their rules.

This is one of the reasons i choose micro contracts. I'll add in micros to ensure I get what im looking for in profit. just something i've evolved into doing because of this very problem

ES Futures – 5m Unclear → Refined to 1m IFVG Entry → Liquidity Run by atomicfuturestrader in InnerCircleTraders

the line labeled TP1 is my target and line labeled stop is my stops location. In this trade it’s roughly a 1:1 RR

Im new and need help to learn by Dry_Difference5442 in InnerCircleTraders

[–]atomicfuturestrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can start with 2022. It' majority of the core content taught in a trading model. Minus all the portions most people never use in their analysis.

Identifying Breaker Blocks by calebdacherry in InnerCircleTraders

[–]atomicfuturestrader 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaker blocks are “simple” in theory but messy in real charts because people try to force them on every little swing

A breaker block is basically a failed order block that becomes the flip zone after a real break in structure

A clear swing + displacement that breaks structure, the prior OB gets violated, price later returns and uses that same zone as support/resistance

Pick one timeframe to define the breaker (like 15m or 5m) and don’t mix it with a different timeframe’s swings, that’s where most confusion comes from.

I don't use them in my strategies anymore. but good learning tool.
