ICT Actual Case Study

FTMO Trader Scouting
Hi,
If you do not mind my asking please, has anyone got the recording of the early morning session (I think it was a late evening USA session) ICT did on the 25 or 26th of November. I missed his tweet as that was nighttime in Malta Europe, where I live.

Would appreciate if anyone who has recorded it would be kind enough as to share it.

Much obliged, am very grateful, and greatly appreciate it.

Regards,

DrFeelgood

The first break out would have stopped you out if you were thinking to a turtle soup, plus the high/low of the week is on Thursday/Friday, completely the opposite in respect to the assumed rule (high/low before Wednesday morning). I woulnd't take everything for granted, it can miserably fail. Obviously the analysis has to be deep and well experienced, hence no holy grail. You can still have very long losing streaks, so watch out your risk.

Once again, we all would love to see your actual contribution to the group with actual analysis and potential setups.

I still cannot get the point of your posts. Do you actually have an analysis that could delight us and maybe some insight that could enlighten us?

Constructive additions is what we are all looking for here. Again, please feel free and welcome to post your charts, videos or analysis so that maybe we could have an actual positive debate here.

Without any of this it's, perhaps, just waste of time.
 
Love the video Mauro, very good to see how you're viewing the markets and what it is exactly that you're looking at, as well as your actual trades. Also like the way you've highlighted the consolidation blocks as you do, makes it so much easier to frame the MM profile sell and buy models. It's certainly helped clarify a couple of areas where I've been going wrong recently.

You mentioned having a bad week last week ... If you don't mind me asking, what was the worst stretch you've experienced with your ICT trades? How many losers in a row and over what period?

I've attached an image of Thursday's Loonie trade which got stopped out ... Unfortunately I didn't have the directional bias right and was scouting for shorts instead of longs (doh!). I was also expecting the market to fall back and take out the stops indicated.

I'm curious, why were you stopped out? what was your SL? and why did you place your SL where you did?

Stop loss at 1.13015 past the high from the previous day. I actually missed the initial entry as price traded up to the sweet spot, then fell away. Looked like I was getting a second bite of the cherry and I entered as price came back up as indicated by the arrow.

Me too. I had the chance to take some profit at 30 pips, but I was too confident in the trade :)
Now I look for a reversal pattern, maybe the 5720 is the level.. but I see stops up until 5790

Believe I made a mistake of not highlighting the whole big consolidation on H1. selling at 5720 was the best idea.

tough luck this time..
There's still a lot of liquidity above the 1.5740 level + 1H OB @ 1.5746

I seriously doubt it will get that far. Execution mistake on my side. Haven't had such a mistake in a long time. Happens. Bit frustrated as I had seen the trade but executed it wrongly.
 
Great trade on GU, was today's LO. After price did a fake BO of the previous lows, it retraced into sweetspot for a buy. Clever market.
 
One picture says it all, Resistance @1.5733 and 1.5720 as basis for a sell inside the consolidation.

For those of you who dont quite understand it:

1. Turtle soup /stop raid into H4 lows;
2. Retrace for a local OTE long.
 
Still don't fully understand it but managed to get this trade in on Cable this afternoon and took 1R profit ... good job I was trailing in my stop!

There is a 1H OB/consolidation right at tha level. Plus sweetspot + 5750 mid figure. All in synch.

Thanks Mauro ... Slowly starting to piece these different ICT components together.
