{quote} {quote} {quote} Facts there from ICT videos! I just love gold so much. Caught the same one and indeed, dropped back as fast as it came up. Just had to wait one more day with gbp news as trigger. Added back into shorts as it was my bias with idea to fill Imbalances from Wednesday push. Only thing i regret is I should have trailed the SL instead of taking so much partials, I really thought we gonna get one more retracement but well.. You live You learn. Profit is profit after all. I was too focused to get that 10% in a week and still ended...
It was 90 pip move but I managed to bang 140 pips out of it by really loading it up but still following 1-2% risk parameters! Taking partials & then scaling back in at better price while moving SL (in profit after first major BOS).
Im still practising these methods & saving it into my trading concept. Getting really familiar with one pair price action and mastering its moves. I plan to trade gold for the next 2022 every day, same time, same sessions so why not right?
Gonna save it into my study concept, but if anyone cares then Il leave some stuff here too. I really love to ride that 1m structure especially when my favourite patterns plays out inside key level in confluence with session open & news .. comon cant get any more better.
Pay attention How patiently I wated till I added my first position back into the game. I waited 8 hours for that, for 1 wick close (Liquidity grab)! As soon as the price closed wick (Liq. grab confirmed) todays high I knew we gonna ride this thing back down and the action begun.. first position in right minute after NYSE showed me that bearish volume. 5m & 1m detailed chart below.
Love for yall and have a wonderful weekend!

this is my own notes that i had made from ICT youtube channel. do not take it as good. your interpretation may be different from mine. so go check out the multi time frame trading method. he always want you to make your own notes, instead of relying on other people's notes. you learn best this way . you will need to see his charts anyway. 2022 ICT Mentorship Episode 2 Begin with weekend analysis: W1 - Before a new trading week begins get a read on what the next W1 candle is going to do – higher or lower, without trying to predict the close of W1...

another thing is that i did not look at BOS as in a 3 candles fractal break. although he mentioned fractal in 3 daily candles.
normally BOS i know is at swing high swing low.

it is really true without self-disciplined we can't go anywhere
for example, kids with rich billionaire parents, large enterprises being passed on to the next generations, crowns passed on from emperors.....
without discipline, it's a free for all, obtaining things too easily and discarded soon after, do not value what they already have, always looking for new play toys.
how long can the wealth last? collapsed in the end. history repeats itself.
those were coming from external sources, being blown here and there by circumstances outside of yourself.
if things are generated from internal sources, you cultivate those good qualities you worked hard to obtain. they won't be lost easily because you do it for yourself and you want to keep on improving. you can battle on in bad weathers.
you can think 'out of the box' but don't live 'out of the box' all the time not realizing who you are, what you really want in the end.
build up your internal qualities and always go back to look inside of yourself. your source of strength developed from internally. like 'Inthebox'
i am being philosophical .......... well you asked for it.
