here's how I made $28,600 using the 8 am range
it's a simple 5 step process:
1. mark out the 8-9 am range
there's a 99.6% chance for price to take out at least one end of that range
this is proven by 12 months of historical data from Edgeful
2. wait for price to displace towards the high / low of the range
3. wait for a retracement into a PD Array, such as a FVG/BPR/OB
4. enter on the CISD confirmation
5. aim for the range high or low
and that's how I took this trade on livestream, which made me $28,600 across all my accounts.
If we take the Daily/90/micro Sequences there are 10 in a Day:
1-1-1
1-1-4
1-4-1
1-4-4
2-2-2
3-3-3
4-1-1
4-1-4
4-4-1
4-4-4
But…. Q1 and Q4 are not only combinable vertically trough the sequences but also horizontally with each other melting to one unit.
Knowing that you can filter the 1/4 sequences.
Thanks @LethalityTrader
Daily High or Low gets usually formed during Asia or New York session.
And almost NEVER during London session.
If you combine this fact with the 71% chance of London to New York correlation.
You can easily form a daily bias coming into New York.
> If London is above Asia = New York bullish (we formed low during Asia)
> If London is below Asia = New York bearish (we formed high during Asia)
This chart probably looks disgusting to most traders.
To me, it was +$78,254 across 32 accounts.
Absolute NY chopfest.
And I only traded shorts.
Why?
Because shorts are still the path of least resistance right now.
No fighting the tape.
No forcing longs.
No trying to call the bottom.
Just repeatedly selling clean opportunities and letting @Tradesyncer handle the executions across the accounts.
Those arrows are my actual trades.
Not every profitable day comes from one beautiful 500 point runner.
Sometimes the market gives you chop.
Your job is to recognize the pressure, stay on the right side of it, and keep executing your edge.
$78K+ booked in a session most traders would call untradeable.
There are levels to this game.

The 90-minute cycles are an excellent framework for finding scalping setups. Ask yourself:
What session am I in? Therefore, which 90-minute liquidity should I be waiting for my divergence to form in?
Which 90-minute cycle am I in? Therefore, which micro liquidity should I be waiting for my divergence in?
And finally, which micro cycle am I in? That tells me which nano cycle I should be pressing the button.
That’s Quarterly Theory. 😉

Trading is a hard job.
You go through so much emotional pain & take so many losses that it impacts your mind.
Therefore to be a successful trader you need to find a system that allows you to execute mechanically, mitigating your emotions.
Become mechanical not emotional.
I was about to call it a Day when I heard my alert go off. got close to 50% and traded away I dint chase set my Limit order and bamm only 4pts of drawdown on this entry. With the 81minute in a SP I closed this for a 123pt base hit. #trifectaHQ
I stopped needing the market to confirm I'm a good trader a while ago.
Now it's just information. Some days it agrees with me; some days it doesn't. Neither changes what I do tomorrow.
The cheat code to trading is patience. Anyone who tells you otherwise is trying to sell you something.
There is no trading strategy, model, or concept that works without patience.
I can guarantee you that 1000%.
Work on your patience, and your life will change forever…..not only in trading, but in everything you want to achieve.
What’s the point of understanding SSMT if you don’t have the patience to wait for the right time when its confirmation is supposed to happen?
What’s the point of understanding the nature of OHLC/OLHC candlesticks if you don’t have the patience to let the low or the high clearly develop?
What’s the point of understanding risk management if, when you take trades, you don’t have the patience to wait for confirmation?
What’s the point of trying to understand every ICT concept if you’re applying them without the patience to wait for the right time for those concepts to actually work?
If TIME comes before PRICE, doesn’t logic tell you that you need to be patient and wait for the right time to arrive before applying everything else, so it actually makes sense and works?
Without patience, there is no profitability. And that doesn’t apply only to trading….it applies to absolutely everything in life.

AM Session Seek & Destroy Study 🔍
When price is trapped inside a range, I’m not looking to force a directional bias. I’m watching where the algorithm is likely to seek liquidity first and waiting for that liquidity to be purged before positioning.
When price enters a Seek & Destroy environment, the objective isn’t necessarily immediate expansion. Especially when there is no volatility injection or fundamental catalyst present, there is little reason for price to sustain a directional expansion.
Instead, price can spend hours contained inside a range, rotating between liquidity pools and creating conditions where both sides of the market become vulnerable.
With no major fundamental reason for price to aggressively expand, the Midnight Open and Daily Open became important reference points acting almost like magnets for price (Mean Reversion Model).
Price doesn't always need to violently raid one side and immediately trend. Sometimes the algorithm simply keeps seeking liquidity, reverting toward key reference points, taking stops on either side and keeping participants trapped until a genuine volatility injection arrives.
Think about the mechanics:
- Buystops above highs.
- Sellstops below lows.
- Resting liquidity around key levels.
- Aggressive orders triggering once those levels trade.
That liquidity is not imaginary. In centralized markets, stop orders are real conditional instructions, while the electronic order book continuously processes orders, executions and cancellations.
The mistake is trading the middle of the range. The edge comes from waiting.
Let price seek the liquidity → purge the stops → reach the range extreme → align with a key level.
That is where I want to participate. Today was a perfect example. Wait for the market to show you where liquidity was taken, then trade the delivery from the extreme. That's how you stop trading the chop and start trading the mechanics behind the move.
low resistance liquidity + iFVG
it's that simple
zoom out before the market opens, find the LRL (low resistance liquidity)
and that's your target for the morning
we usually take it out in the first 30min of the day...
find an iFVG towards it, and you will be done by 10am
I suspect there are very large and wild price runs coming this fall and winter, once it begins... trading is going to be fast and loose... huge risk.
I can't wait!
If you’re broke, don’t trade
It’s as simple as that
If you’re relying on trading to pay your rent, you’re going to be under way too much pressure and will never be consistently profitable
Even the most experienced trader in the world would struggle if they were put in this situation
If you want to succeed as a trader - get a job that can cover your expenses
This takes the pressure off of your trading and you’ll perform 10x better I promise
Trading is NOT your way out of poverty, and it never will be
I know I’m going to get hate for this post - but it’s the truth
And if you think it will get you out of a bad financial situation, it won’t - it will only make it much, much worse
