Every time I think I'm out, It pulls me back in. The last few days have been really nice using the Trigger Number Matrix (TNM). 1. I identified a Market Structure Shift and the subsequent Fair Value Gap Zone. I know I only want to go long as price ...

Very nice. The Market gave a couple nice Close Proximity Entries in Gold. The first one is the one you showed. image The second one came a little bit later. Price moved back down below the GTH Open and then we see the move to capture liquidity, ...

The Long and Winding Road of Trading Journey

I'm not trying to change your opinion, I just want to honestly share my thoughts. From the very first time I opened Tom's book, I have wanted to do one thing: Trade only with Price and Volume (more specifically, trade only with Volume Spread ...

Very nice. I wasn't going to share this, but I will. This is going into my study journal. Step 1: image * Identify a place where price is likely to be drawn to. Price is drawn to old highs and lows because there are stops (liquidity) just above or ...

I was so excited to see this. And then I saw it. He trades the 1 minute. No big deal; I'm starting to favor the 2 minute. But he is going for a couple of pips profit. Seriously? I missed that he wasn't using a stop. Somebody asked about a Failed ...

I realize this is your thread, and I do not want to over-step, but I had to share my new found enthusiasm for ICT. This was done in demo. Step 1: * The midnight Open (GTH Open) is above price so for me, I am only looking to go short. * At 8:30 I ...

COMPARE AND CONTRAST The purpose of this post is not to determine which method is better, but rather to show something I found interesting. Check out this "ICT" Euro trade. video Here's the Volume Spread Analysis (VSA) trade I took. image The ...

Very interesting idea. You've got me thinking. Being right and sitting tight-that's where the money is. However, my thoughts surround using this concept to find an Ideal exit that mitigates greed while maximizing profit potential. Tom didn't use ...

Very Nice. I'm still partial to the Trigger Number Matrix (TNM). For me, even though there's a beautiful No Demand inside the FVG ZONE, it's on the 75% Trigger Number so above HB and I can only take shorts below HB. image

Despite what ICT says, there was somebody talking about this phenomena before him-WRBTrader (Mark). Mark is only concerned with these gaps (when they involve a Wide Range Body (WRB). Those two can duke it out between themselves over who's the ...

The EURO was pretty clear as well. image

On my platform, the highest volume bar was the bar before. The entry came later. We can see the BOS and Lower Highs and Lower Lows. There's also a FVG at the HB to give even more decision support. image

This is absolutely wrong. There is a 85-95% correlation between tick volume and real volume. This does not mean if the real volume number equals 100 that the tick volume measure would be between 85-95 for the corresponding interval. What it means ...

Is forex education misleading or everyone is stupid?

My basic definition of a Test is: A narrow range DOWN bar that makes a lower low, closes on its middle or high, and has volume less than the previous two intervals. Making a lower low is really important once you understand the effect new highs and ...

ANATOMY OF A VSA TRADE (OR HOW TO TRADE IN THE SHADOW OF THE SMART MONEY): STEP 1 We start out by finding the highest volume bar from yesterday. We use 17:00 NY time to 16:59.59 NY time as our day. In other words, the beginning of the Japanese ...

I'm not sure what a Hidden Gap setup is either. Take a look at the two charts. That is almost exactly what TG is teaching. There are only a few of differences: (1) I'm only using two (actually three) time frames. There's a trend time frame and a ...
