Not a single luxury watch or excessive luxury clothing in sight. If guys didn’t know who these guys were theyd think theyre nobodies or some bad traders unfortunately.. cant wait for this ep
As a boy who studied in his room for hours on end whilst doubting myself at times this makes it all worth it. I never thought id see the day Alhamdulillah. Thankyou

thank you for showing the people that conversations can be healthy 🙏🏽🫡
The offer is always open for you to be a guest on the podcast, I’m sure people would gain so much from it. 👀
This guy was one of the first people to start talking about quarters and 90min cycles. Daye wasnt. Its literally there timestamped. Now what? Atleast give credit where credit is due. I still dont think its effective, way too niche. Stick to killzone and amd.
Speaking to an elder i know who is a well accomplished trader and what he said hit home. “Its not about you or how you feel, its about the account and whats good for it”. Over leverage and revenge trades may feed our ego, it ruins the account. Put the account first always.
You identify a tree by the fruit it grows, look how many guys show payouts and have gotten interviews using ICT concepts. He is egotistical and likes his own voice but the mans concepts can increase any systems entry process. I will never understand the hate.
Knowing all the PDA is important to dictate htf bias, but ltf entry just needs to rely on one array for consistency. When i did this things changed. You dont need to know all the arrays for entry, only to dictate bias. Dial in on one for entry mode.
The secret to turtle soup/reversal is looking at the timeframes above. Its just ltf retracement meeting HTF pdarray/stops. That is TS territory. 15m retracement higher into bearish 4h-daily pdarray inside bearish daily context you will be in soup territory. Fractal to all.
Take it a step further, when stops have been run and displacement occurs (in line with htf direction) lets say in a bearish scenario then upclosed candles should be seen as bearish orderblocks. You can even place sellstops under these candles as you expect price to seek SSL.

Opening price -> judas to side opposing likely expansion -> get back above opening price -> fvg left in expansion direction -> retracement to FVG. Literally my trading in a nutshell.
If people truly want it, comment underneath. We can definitely do a new one for your youtube channel, keep it as trading related as possible thats what the people want 😁
@Wordsof_Rizdom
The bulk of your analysis rests in the htfs (weekly-daily-4H depending on style). You are using your entry timeframes to trade the distance between where your htf candle is now and where it should go. Simple. Opening price -> AMD
In a mmxm backtest using a stop entry on the mitigation block on the second leg of distribution. Retracements arent always offered.. something i picked up over refinement of trading mmxm. Enjoy.
Block out the noise
Focus predicting daily candles.
Bias is king. The rest is finding an ote within your bias
5 OTES a month start there. Cap your trade frequency. It will create consistency.
(ICT youtube covers OTE very old playlist)

Thank you all for tuning in and supporting such an epic episode
2 uploads coming up next week! 👇
One thing ict traders dont do enough is consider macro economics, they dont understand inflationary pressures, they dont understand oil market relevance to inflation etc, these things are big tools for predicting cpis and ppis
I recommend to look into it if you dont know
Something that helped me is personally is making myself think im trading the HTF expansion, if i cant read the likely 4H-daily expansion i wont even go on a timeframe under it. When i can read it, use the LTF to profile the day to align myself. Usually mmxm format to.
Last one actually: the green is any HTF array or run on stops pdh etc. you just need the OTEs on the right hand side of the curve. Pair it with a fvg is better. You dont need a single other thing for entry. The hard work is narrative+patience.
Being break even is outperforming the majority, minimise the damage. Removing stupid trades and bad practices are easier than winning trades. Most can simply reduce their trade frequency and see improvements lol

$200,000 in SFT Challenges To Be Given Away On The Live Premier
Hit repost!
Be sure to click the link below this tweet and turn your notifications on 👇
Prop firms are designed to make the majority lose but favour the ones who can trade, they take money from the less informed and skilled and copy trade the better traders.
Knowing this now what do you think you should do? If your trading sucks then dont take the challenge
Today at 1pm UK Time / 8am EST we are joined by Umar Ashraf.
One of the most powerful episodes to date and is a true masterclass into what it takes to be a successful trader.
We will be giving away a $100k SFT challenge and 4 x $25k challenges on the live premier!
One of the underlying factors to why people fail prop firms is simply because they dont respect the challenge or trading. How you treat something is how it treats you
Over the years my opinions on so many things inside trading changed, every year you start to realise a lot more of what the reality really is. Perhaps that is growth, my biggest realisation over the years was probably accepting that i just need to nail the basics well.
Truly humbled.
@I_Am_The_ICT
this is proof everything you say works. And the proof will only grow as the years go. Just to clarify the title “smc is retail” your concepts have been watered down by gurus and taught wrong without narrative. THOSE guys are retail still.
With all the mess thats happening, take attention to who takes accountability and who doesnt. Everyones true colours are shown when money is involved or when they need to try save their name
If these banks make price why are they giving orders to and are customers to CLS? The one giving orders is not the one making the market. its all central bank, cls and central bank are linked. And the times all align with killzones.
Year 0 trading ict - “thanks for liquidity retail”
Year 1 trading ict - arguing which model is better and fighting over wrongly annotated charts
Year 2 trading ict - realised year 0-1 was cringe
Thought id come on the timeline and drop a few things, take them in! Simplicity is what you want. You need a complex understanding of price but a simple approach. And simplicity is achieved through mastery.
Once you favour a bearish/bullish daily print you know what to expect. The role of each session in building the daily ranges anatomy. You know if youre favouring bullish/bearish AMD and bull/bear arrays. Isnt that powerful? Nail the daily and slay the 15-5m.
Claims 10% a day and all these nonsensical claims nothing to show for it, worst part and imo the main part is he lures young muslims towards him using the deen and “akh persona” with his lies of 10% a day etc to sell his course. Course selling is fine, just dont use religion
Midnight-mid day (ny) - liquidity delivery.
3pm ny time-midnight liquidity generation.
Notice the second one when it doesnt consolidate, the next day’s liquidity delivery is lackluster and somewhat unpredictable in terms of daily po3.
Breadcrumbs
Just a tip: get a feel when the htf candle you are trading in will expand. Time is key factor here more so lifepsan of the candle. Alot of times you can just enter even outside of a pdarray. Over confirmation kills
Picking days where you favour daily expansion one way over other -> run on stops opposing your bias + displacement away. Ote preferably with a fvg in ote range. Stop at 1 and tp atleast 0. A positive R system and absolutely simple. The dogs work is sieving out direction.
Couldnt care who sells a course or whatever, but claiming superiority and saying others are lazy or stupid when yourself or a student has no verifiable result is insane lol
Last tweet for a while
People overcomplicate things, for some reason over-complication is seen as mastery, mastery is taking over complicated things and simplifying them. Like taking precious metal and making fine a timepiece out of it. A bias and an optimal trade entry goes a long way..
🎯Passed another Phase 1 today! Coming for you
@SFTFirm
🥃 As mentioned, I traded this exclusively on a challenge account rather than my live accounts. Will not engage in any live trades (funded accounts) until January. Currently, I am solely focusing on challenges.

@SnipeTrader123
All you need is a power of three with time of day.. every single hourly, 4H and ofcourse daily/weekly is always a power of three. Just need to understand what part of AMD you are in to identify the trade setup. The midpoint of LOKZ and NYOKZ is usually the transition from M-D ;)
Study poker and when professionals start to make calls, notice their hands are pairs or face cards, your trading needs to be like this. Call only in favoured scenarios. Your chances multiply many times over. Poker champion ships consist of many folds and barely any action to.
@Wordsof_Rizdom
If only people knew how it was back then, 3k followers each, 20minutes late to your office haha Alhamdulillah what a podcast, youve come a long way Allahuma barik
If you attached your health to the balance of your account, and every loss you took it reduces your health and likewise winning increases it how much more serious do you think people would take it?
You need to know all pdarrays to dictate a strong directional bias. You only need 1-2 for entering price. People who neglect some arrays are disadvantaged as they have less htf areas to build trade ideas. Pick 1-2 for entry to build consistency. You will find it easier to execute
@TradrCoach
Thank Allah for private capital, anyone whos going through losing all capital by being only with MFF dont be discouraged. You done it once go do it 10 times, beat your chest remember who you are
🚀 Exciting news! Just hit a major milestone with
@FTMO
Secured max allocation, reaching 400k in funded capital!
🌟 Reflects my hard work, early mornings, and a commitment to growth.
Could not have done it without
@I_Am_The_ICT
and my main mentor
@omor214
Thank you so much :)
For anyone that disagrees: i provide the sources you can research, be an academic and read the sources and disprove. Emotion and opinion means nothing. The fake smc gurus can also learn a thing or two from it
This week we have ICT Charter member
@omor214
on the podcast. 🎙️
He claims to provide evidence about the algorithm! 🤯
Definitely one to tune in live for, episode drops Thursday 6pm GMT! 👇
A safe stop loss, an entry where price should reverse in your favour and a take profit thats met more times than not is the 3 main components to every trade system regardless of the side of the fence you take on how its delivered..
I used to treat trading like an easter egg trying to decipher everything ICT did and said. In my opinion there is no need to crack the “algo” i looked into many things.. the CLS and DTCC was just a few things i shared on the podcast. An optimal trade entry is all you need.
Great reality thats not spoken about, personally why i transitioned to swing trading. Its less work load in terms of analysis needed done and time spent on chart. Alhamdulilah i havent felt a burnout YET. Something to consider if youve scaled some capital try OSOK.
And thats the milestone done. $10,000,000 done since january 2024. Whilst everyone on this bird apps attention is on engagement farming we put in the work.
Understand your priorities.
Id love to see educators sit with their verified students, was a great feeling to do it with
@5ivebeatz
. Something that the students would of educators probably would love, more of a reason for educators to try more to get the students there to
Chances of ftmo flushing the competition out is relatively high imo.
Its no longer how much capital do you have.. its about where is your capital allocated at?
I have a pure ict background technically, we focus on the effective basics, little to no quirks. Solid technicals, and a good approach to enter manage and exit. Everything else is noise.
2 prop firm interviews now from the mentorship (excluding mine), diego with myfunded fx few months back now 5ive beats with bespoke, $2.5M added in october alone.. we dont focus on complicated nuance’s in price, we keep it simple and effective..
