Here we go…
I had to do it…
Alright enough dancing around and let’s look at this trade:
The main reason behind this trade was the simple 2022 ICT Model, for those of you that don’t know what we are talking about, here is a simple explenation:
Wait for higher time frame liquidity to be taken out
Go to lower time frame and wait for market strcuture shift
Wait for a fair value gap entry
AND NEVER FORGET! Time is one of the most important parts of this, always wait for the perfect time! For example trade we had today, 9:30 AM we took out liquidity on higher time frame → 10AM Entry on the trade with higher impact news
Diagram of the 2022 Model
So let’s see how the 2022 model played out on this one
9:30AM - liquidity taken out
9:35AM - 5 minute candle crossed swing high, so we’ve got a MSS(Market Structure Shift)
9:35AM - 5 minute candle also left a FVG unfilled so we’ve put a limit order in
10:00AM - News hit, and we got filled, my first anticipation was, that we are gonna go from the 5
Now what you all are waiting for, how did I do on this trade?
I jumped in at $19,455 and snagged a 20-handle profit at $19,475, because of the bad wifi, while traveling, I have to take profit quicker. It's Friday, and I'd rather keep my sanity intact, than stress over squeezing out more gains. Sometimes, grabbing those smaller wins now sets you up for smoother sailing and bigger rewards down the road.
And you get to enjoy your traveling too!
Tip for the day: Before you make a trade, consider if losing will feel worse than winning will feel good. If losing will hurt more, wait until you feel okay about it before trading.
