what i have just read:

the $100k demo is designed for you to form bad habits and ultimately blow your live accounts.
take the emotion out by keeping the leverage low or trading small lot size.
trading is about making money consistently over time.
patient, disciplined, focused. if you don't have those ingredients, don't even consider trading as a career.
use compounding to building your equity over time. 6% return per month can double your account in a year.
surest ways to blow account: no plan, over leveraging, over trading, not using protective stops.
there is no fast tracks or short cuts to consistency, only the day to day (should it be year to year?) step by step that successful traders had gone through.
only you allow yourself to execute the trades, based on your own decision making. blame no one.

now that's too familiar to all of us traders, but ......... some how .......... ........ rules are meant to be broken.

most you tubers teaching originated from him.
lots of guys wanted to get into his mentorship but he did not want them, maintaining his original batch.
those who has the patience, discipline and focus can get to learn for free now.

Were you previously in his mentorship? I hear alot about his teaching but so have yet to encounter anyone who became a full time from his class haha. I think you might have some experience with his style , is it useful ?

no way. i only started to learn in jul21 when i posted in 1M Price Action System thread.
studied day and night. i am happy that the results are showing.
there and this thread all use BOS, OB, BB, Liq Void, Liq Pool ...... all ICT stuff.
but most people prefer indicators to show green buy, red sell ........... what can i say ....... being there done that.

you will be disappointed if you expect him to teach something.
won't place nicely on a plated platter.
i think will be more likely to speak on this kind of things.
the foundation has to be laid real solid.

Bro. While I agree that no one expects him to teach for free, I also have been chatting with a student of his who signed up for close to a year . Every month he pays him money. And up till now , there isn't even a proper trading model taught . Its always something is still missing or wait for the next lesson to learn the truth etc etc. And I also read some forums that consistently say that even after being in his class or mentorship for years, they still don't have a clue . It feels scam to me..i have yet to come across anyone who trades his concepts as a full time trader. I do feel that yes, order blocks etc might be useful, but haven't come across anyone who can use it well and teach it properly.....

that is why trading is not for everyone - only 20% successful?
one has to know when to stop banging his head on the wall and quit.
some people can pick up very fast, those are exceptional.

that is why i am forward testing his concepts.
i shall do it for 6 months. so far it's still too early to say, although on my way to be consistent with 20% per month i hope.
i am a full timer and at the same time testing.
i try to post every day with one of my mappings.
i put out everything openly and i don't hold anything back.
everything on post#1.
i try to force myself to apply the concept once i learn it as soon as possible, why delay?

i am already posting my performance. and will do so every month end.
but we cannot compare my results with others.
everyone has different trading background and experiences.
well, i can only speak of my own experience here.

correct.
the upper zone is no more fresh. the lower zone is fresh.
if the trend is to continue down, price should be rejected by lower zone.
unless there are still orders not taken above upper zone, this is known as liquidity pool.

i had drawn one without looking at your chart first.
for your comparison.

correct.
compare with mine.
don't just draw qml, mpl, and then stop there.
continue with the rest. what about other supply zones and resistance? price can reverse anywhere.
i consider exit is more important than entry. there are many times i BE or exit before hitting SL. a matter of profit or loss.
depending on currency pair, when it moves around 25 pips, consider taking profit or partial profit (get paid first) and put SL to BE.
