I built a trading journal specifically for ICT traders.
No broker sync. No auto-import. You log everything manually — because that's where the learning happens.
→ Top-down analysis for every trade
→ Built-in chart annotation (OBs, FVGs, Breakers)
→ Daily/weekly/monthly market analyses
→ Topics of Study to build your knowledge base
→ Equity tracking + backtesting mode
It's free during beta.

The secrets to effective & consistent profitability:
1) Adhere to a simple model.
2) Know what you want to make and it feeds you, leave something on just in case you were wrong about how much more.
3) Don't ask others for opinions, analysis or tips.
4) Manage Risk impeccably - ALWAYS.
5) Don't chase new things after you found your model.
6) Allow others to hold opinions - even if they are diametrically opposed to yours.
7) Unless you run a signal service, keep your opinions to yourself.
8) Make your bread, eat and go live for the day and find ways to bless others with it.
Anything else is BS.
1) Determine a Draw On Liquidity - where Price is likely reaching; like NWOG, PDH\PDL, Session H\L.
2) Wait for opposing liquidity raid, during or immediately after a 10\50 Macro.
3) Entry on 1st FVG in the present price structure or use IFVG in the run to opposing liquidity to your Draw On Liquidity.
4) Frame your risk to 1% or less, Hard Stop Loss placement beyond Candle #1 of the FVG you used for entry.
5) Take 50% of position off at half of the range between your entry and the Draw On Liquidty, the balance limit out just before your Terminus.
Wash, Rinse, Repeat... nothing fancy or complicated.
Step 1: Collate all necessary information and data
Step 2: Verify all necessary data. Discard data that does not align with other correlating data
Step 3: Create a decision workflow on when and how discarded data will be the current narrative. These become “risk factors”
Step 4: Create a decision workflow on how to qualify/disqualify information that aligns or deviates from said data, and engage when info is qualified, making sure to create clear protocols of risk engagement
Step 5: If current information does not align with data; walk away. If current information aligns and is qualified, pull the trigger without overthinking. If current information deviates from data, let the risk protocols do its job.
Step 6: Collate all necessary information points and compare with data, what decision-making protocols would’ve yielded a more positive performance?
In the Financial world, there are movers and shakers. Deep pockets and street money.
All around the world, lights burn all night, in high rise buildings. Each of which, paying individuals huge salaries to try and determine supply and demand factors for investing in these markets.
Then there is me... a simple.guy, of modest upbringing, sharing with an online community, the precision of price delivery;that none of these high rise bankers know about.
History will tell a fascinating tale about what each of you are witnessing and are hands-on too.
@MerNion@xOdysseyTrading@someone_elze@MerNion Δεν είναι θέμα τι πιστεύει ο καθένας. Το θέμα είναι ποια είναι η πραγμάτικοτητα. Λίγο να ψάξεις τι έχουν βγει και έχουν πει/παραδεχτεί κατά καιρούς, θα καταλάβεις τι γίνεται.
@Ali_Khan_ICT Thanks Ali. I am curious, what made you change the intraday bias to bullish for EURUSD? The only thing I see is the inversion of the H1 VI in DXY (after BSL sweep in D1), but does this count as a Change in the State of Delivery, since the H1+FVG held the bodies inside?
@realweirdgene But DXY is very bullish with range expansion expected (since we have 2 inside candles in the weekly). Shouldn't BTC follow up and go lower?
Finally, this is H1 Timeframe. The safest OSOK entry would be the second one, since we would have also the confirmation of H4 finding support at the annotated H4++FVG
