I didn’t build ICBE & MBE randomly.
This is the reason behind it.
I used to get punished for leaving answers blank in school.
Multiple choice questions… and I just couldn’t “shade anything” if I didn’t know.
Teachers didn’t get it.
My friends didn’t get it.
But to me it was simple:
I wasn’t going to lie to myself under pressure.
So I’d leave it blank… and take the punishment.
—
Fast forward to trading…
And I found myself in the same situation again.
Charts in front of me.
Decisions to make.
Pressure to act.
“Just pick a direction.”
“Just take the trade.”
But it felt the same as those exams.
If I didn’t know… why am I acting like I do?
—
At first, I traded anyway.
I had logic.
I had ideas.
And sometimes… it worked.
That “sometimes” kept me going.
Because I didn’t know any better.
—
Then I discovered something that changed everything:
I could actually test my strategy.
Not guess.
Not assume.
Test.
—
That’s when my standard changed.
“It makes sense” was no longer enough.
“It worked before” was no longer enough.
Now it became:
Do I have data… or am I just shading?
—
And from that moment…
Random trading became impossible for me.
Because now I knew the difference.
Between guessing and evidence.
Between hope and structure.
Between random and repeatable.
—
Funny enough…
The same thing that got me punished in school
Is the same thing that pays me now.
I refused to fake certainty then.
I refuse to fake it now.
—
I don’t guess.
I don’t trade opinions.
I act on observed behavior with defined risk.
—
I don’t predict.
I position for resolution.
For a long time, I thought trading was about finding an edge.
I was wrong.
The same edge can produce completely different results
depending on how it’s structured and deployed.
So I built two protocols:
ICBE — to identify an edge
MBE — to structure and deploy it
This is my contribution to the trading industry.
Not another strategy.
A framework.
Dropping soon.
recently I’ve been focus on building a system that suits my personality.
You can have an edge and if it doesn’t fit your natural way of how you read the market you will struggle.
I’ve set up 2 systems on automation on my personal account..
Starting small and the goal will be to scale into automated trading on props.
I will be sharing trades of the week and updates on the automated system on personal account.
Hopefully you pick a thing or 2 from my updates and thats the goal ..
A sprinter can learn marathon strategy.
Study it.
Respect it.
Even produce decent results.
But deep down…
that’s not how their body naturally competes.
Then they discover sprinting.
And the question changes.
Not:
“Can I become someone else?”
But:
“Does the way I naturally compete have elite potential?”
If the answer is YES…
the job is no longer endless searching.
The job becomes:
Train.
Execute.
Live through the probabilities.
Trading is similar.
Sometimes the breakthrough isn’t finding a better edge.
It’s finding an edge that matches how you naturally process markets.
People: “Bro go touch grass.”
Me for years:
“Touch grass for what?? You think I’m staring at charts for fun?”
Sometimes you’re not obsessed.
You just haven’t found an edge you trust… or one you’re compatible with.
So you search.
You test.
You stare.
You refine.
You keep looking because something still feels missing.
The screen becomes your grass.
Today I reached for the charts…
The tab wasn’t there.
I just smiled.
Interesting.
Maybe I wasn’t addicted to charts.
Maybe I was still searching.

Framework Update 🚨
The “Trade of the Week” framework is evolving into
MSE — Market Regime | Session Opportunity | Execution.
This update reflects a refinement in how I approach manual trading.
M — MARKET REGIME
Understanding the environment we are operating in.
S — SESSION OPPORTUNITY
Identifying where the time / volatility opportunity exists within the session structure.
E — EXECUTION
Execution becomes objective:
• BUY or SELL → based on cycle exhaustion
• CONTINUATION or REVERSAL → based on session interaction
What should you expect from this change?
Less emphasis on directional narratives such as
“bullish”* or *“bearish”
More emphasis on:
✔️ Market context
✔️ Time & session behavior
✔️ High-probability opportunities
✔️ Repeatable execution logic
Trading, from my perspective, is an activity of buying and selling — not defending a bias.
The goal remains the same: identify opportunity, execute cleanly, move onto the next cycle.
Welcome to MSE Trade of the Week . 🔁
You can risk 0.5 % on your prop Challenges you can risk 1% you can risk 3 % but here is what you have to know
What ever you start with forms habits and if your plan is to go high and then go low risk that can be a very hard .
My 2 cent start from a balance place and build the right habits with it .
Trading is tough the roller coaster is just insane ..
You’ve got to protect your mind , your edge and body .
And the only thing saving you might not be your system ,but risk management.
And I don’t care how good your system is .
Going though it at the moment
Journal

Journal .
I remember when I use to read on the TL Journal journal and I was like what’s with this journaling . Who even needs it .
Is it even necessary.
Lol . You know what they say . Experience is the best teacher .
- continue not journaling one day you will .
Haha . This is a Normal thing if you do Algo trading you will encounter .
These is a difference between valid trades and A+ trades . Algo trading does valid trades and it’s build on the law of large numbers .
You accept it and let it operate as such . Hence your risk and other parameters factors it in .
On the other hand if you think you are good and can filter most of the trades and do Manual trading then you can execute your A+ trades .
Both have their place .
I have an Algo system on my Personal account and I trade manual on my prop account .
