\W hitps:ititer com/anoioGrowing Small Accounts
‘A. what you need to avoid
1) Do not try to rush to make massive gains either pips or % returns
2) Do not open yourself to large risk in hopes of equally large returns or profits
3) Do not assume taking small risk trades will not grow your account
4) Do not sacrifice trading equity for poor planning or lack thereof
B. What you need to aim for
1) Determine how to realistically anticipate a favorable reward to risk model
2) Leam to respect the risk side of the trade setups more over the reward
3) Identify trade setups that permit three reward multiples to one risk or higher
4) Frame good reward to risk setups that have little impact if unprofitable

W hitps:witer com/arioieFraming Low Risk Trade Setups
‘A. What makes the setup worth taking?
1) Selecting trade setups on higher time frame charts is ideal
2) Large institutions and banks analyze markets on Daily Weekly and Monthly basis
3) Locating price levels that align with institutional order flow is Key
4) Higher time frame setups form slow & provide ample time to plan accordingly
B. What can we do to lower the risk in the trade?
1) The higher time frame has more influence on price so we focus there
2) The conditions that lend to a trade setup on a HTF can be refined to LTF
3) Transpose the higher time frame levels to lower time frame charts
4) Refining HTF levels to LTF charts allows smaller stop loss placement and risk
Just because were going below old lows is not the reason we expeect a reversal, we need a HTF
premise behind it

About orderblocks
Ifyou lose on the initial trade, then take 50% off the risk the next trade in the same trade idea
As a beginner, if you took a loss, just try to go back to BE and take it off. Especially if its the end of
the week, take it off and regroup and end the week at BE or atleast trail the stop loss

W hitps:iter comarioioThe Secrets To Selecting High Reward Setups
This teaching will be a micro of the trading plan development series
ICT doesnt look at all the things in the trading plan development series
The ICT mindset is a collective whole, processed thinking
Where are we building on? Are we going to buy or sell or stay on the sidelines? What is the
process?
Experience will define when not to trade
narrative has to be binary, very defined. If you dont have a plan then this will lead to impulsive
emotional trading.
A trading plan is unique to everybody, dont share it with others
Entries are not what you need to know right now, you need to develop a process orientated thinking
first. You need total understanding
The people that are struggling are reactionary and impulsive of what they want to do right now,
beginners want to immdeiately get in and start trading. You dont know what defines the trade
setups yet, it comes by experience and by seeing ideas
‘Stop looking to do something right now, professional traders are not in a rush, they sit back and
wait for a scenario that makes sense
All decisions ICT makes before a trade he will share, he has experience and uses processed
thinking‘The Secrets To High Reward Trading Setups:

Primarily focus on 2 that have to come to agreement, not all 4 have to agree.
Inflationary and deflationary markets have big impacts on stocks and commodities as well
Caring change market, 2 markets interest rates
When your big picture, intermediate and short term perspective are all in agreement then thats
What makes a high reward trading setup
Again 2 have to be in agreement
Intraday charts have no effects on price
Daily weekly and monthly are what move price
Top down analysis we need 2 in agreementICT does saturday studies, to see where price wants to go
The least of significance is market sentiment
For short term we need 3 to be in agreement
Every 3 months, theres a new price shift. If the market has been going higher youll probably see
the market go in consolidation, not the entire 3 months.
Preferably 1 from each
Executing trades will be tiny of your time, the most time youll spend is finding out wether you want
to be a buyer or seller
This is the context of where are area of interest will be and what well be leaming
Big perspective and intermediate perspective is going to be set on the weekend prior to the next
trading week
Short term perspective can switch daily
When ICT calls out a move, theyre mostly derived from his big and intermediate perspective
As a day trader short term trader and one shot kill, ICT uses mostly the short term perspective
page
The big picture and intermediate perspective is where less losses come from
In total 7 things have to be in agreement, thats high reward setups. This will give you olarity
Entry signals are the least of your concem
This is the routine you go trough

When price is still destined to continue, this pattern is pretty consistent. But when youre not aware
when the trend is starting to end, these patterns will form at the end of a trend

Mean treshold is from body high/low to body low/high, not the wicks
He refines a daily orderblock to a 5m unmitigated orderblockHe ignores big news wicks, only looks at the bodies
Its a sentiment play in addition to institutional orderflow on a HTF
Look at price action and look what other traders would see, how would retail see the price action

Primarily the volume is in the bodies of the candle, so the liquidity is below/above the bodies of the
candles
Theyre providing liquidity
The market will always seek liquidityWhere is the most recent area of liquidity that has been untapped with the least resistance to it?
Thats your bias
Think like @ market maker
Do they want to trick sellers or buyers?
‘Study when they go in consolidation and what side are they reaching for and where is the market
going after it happens
‘So when were bullish and market goes into consolidation expect every move below the
consolidation to be a break out and see if were getting a willingness to go higher afterwards
This is the easiest way to see if were in a bullish profile
