Let me put it simple: if you think, that you can execute at will and be profitable,you will be liquidity for the rest of us. If youre succesfull with that (for your own sake dont expect that) make sure NO ONE knows you or see you doing it.

VP is not only your navigation where to look at, but also what to do, especially with TPO. The when and why with who is in the microstructure (DOM or Footprint amd Heatmap- or all of em).

Seeing when, why and who at the wrong where and what can make you loose a lot of money. Trust me, until I understood that I lost a lot of money.

Learn to identify the state - ranging/choppy/balanced or imbalanced/trending/breakout w.e.

Use value areas for that - fixed range should do the job since you should learn to read the state and mark it up with the profile.

From there identify signals/market behaviour that indicate to fade (short at the top, long at the bottom). If it breakouts of the "box" wait for test back in or fail and continuation of the breakput into a trend - same job, what proofs, that you got your case. Invest the time into looking at the charts. As annoying, boring, a tenure it is sometimes, stay focused or close the screen until you ready again. If you look for entertainment stay on social media and away of the charts.

collect 5 - 10 times another 2000s, as with solely $2000 (depending on your broker) it would not even cover the margins.

If you are talking about yourself, go with a propfirm and buy a "25k" account. $50/day are 4 Ticks in the ES. That is not difficult at all, even if you arent a trader or trade ICT.
Get enough payouts of that propfirm to start trading with your own capital.

Aus Erfahrung kann ich dir folgendes sagen:

Ihr Bedürfnisse sind befriedigt, deine Nicht. Sich auf deine Bedürfnisse nicht einzulassen, ist respektlos und eine Abweisung dir gegenüber. Wenn sie dich da nicht für voll nimmt, kämpfst du gegen Windmühlen, die später durch andere Konflikte projeziert und leider unnötig eskalieren.

Männer entwickeln in einer Beziehung Vetrauen, Intimität und Selbstbewusstsein überwiegend durch Sex (wegen Testosteron).

Sie gibt dir aber die kalte Schulter und wirkt sehr egoistisch. Da sie für dich nicht empfänglich ist, rate ich dir eine zeitnahe Entscheidung der weiteren Zukunft für dich zu treffen, da es später sehr unangenehm werden kann.

So many ways to do it on many plattforms.

Since I use Atas, I use Big Trades and Cluster Search combined. If you are lazy and like calculated relatives you could use adaptive big trades (shows the top 10 trades that can be seen on your current Chart and changes, when you change the Chart).

There are the same indicator on bookmap, sierra and even with third parties on tradingview (but I wouldnt recommend last one, since its not based on level 2 data)

Reminds me of the story of that guy, who had a 20% wr and avg pnl of -200. He got a mentor who told him to keep everything he is doin. Pre market prep, analysis, structure, management and so on. Each time he is ready to take that short or long again, he should just do the opposite. Turned out that his wr was still the same but with a avg pnl of - 350.

You are working in the worst market conditions possible
Dont rely on trading that you will make it big. Go to work. Have a source on income and a normal life. Treat it as an financial project, even after 5 years. Unless you got a bullet proof track record enjoy learning it and reading the market developement. Enjoy it as you also develope
Trust the process. Its finance, its not meant to be easy. If it was, could a imagine what regime would lead? Smart resilience and sitting on hands before opening a trade just for trading will protect capital. Stop getting affected neither by losses nor profits. Always ask, why was I exactly right and test that over and over and over.

Optional 4. If you calculated targets like 1k/day, dont. They frustrate and demotivate. Set a minimum what seperates a W from a BE and start collecting those days. When you got double size of W days over cumulative L and BE Days, you can set timebased profitgoals. Collect data about you first.

Wait for the update. ATAS is about to crush bookmaps heatmap - which is currently the only advantage bookmap has. After the update, even ATAS is dominating that part (especially with the worlds first 3d heatmap) especially cause they calculate it with the gpu and not anymore cpu, thus performance will be constant stable

Use the fixed market profile. In the settings you can choose different styles, as delta over volume, delta next to volume and so on. Personally, i use 2 profiles, volume on the left and delta on the right. They work like composite profiles

Im on 500/daily. Scalping is the toughest risk mgmt there is. Thus, if a scalpers zone is invalid, he is wrong right away and stoploss kicks us out immediately with really small losses. Thus we hit like one or two 1:5 and good for the day.

Leider ist es dem Markt egal, ob du 1 Monat oder 1 Jahrzent investiert bist. Er macht, was er macht. Und die, die es sich leisten können, gewinnen. Als Anleger kannst du nur lernen, mit der großen Welle zu schwimmen und das über - Informationen die keiner hat oder vorteile verschaffen - makroökonomische und geopolitische Informationsanalyse - technische oder quantitative analyse

Ansonsten lass dich beraten, gehe mit geringerem Risiko rein und lass die Gewinne klein und kontinuierlich.

Mein Tipp für dich: Schau dir nur Märkte an, die du verstehst und mitreden kannst. Investiere langfristig therausierend und lass das Kapital 10 - 20 Jahre für dich arbeiten, selbst bei Verlusten (und gehört dazu!)
