Tomorrow, Gold might still run down and do a sweep of sellside liquidity at the 4H TF resting at the 3279 STL inside the 4H dealing range.

It might reject after the STL is swept to reprice higher.

Can it still get down to the May 14th down close candle opening price before the bullish continuation?🧐

I wait and see what price will do tomorrow as more sellers will be induced before the repricing back up to the buyside liquidities.

My buy limit set at both 3279 4H STL price level and the 3254 May 14th+OB candle opening price.

@Davigle @Zimuzorr @kaeachiever

XAUUSD to retrace to 3254 to tag the daily +OB opening price of 14th May?

This deep retracement may likely occur proper tomorrow into deep discount to set price for a bullish continuation on the daily MMBM.

If it doesn't then we ride the bullish OrderFlow with as new entries come up before the buyside is tagged.

Eku mrkt ooo
Wuna good morning
Ah just dey comot for NL bot prisin,

@samfelly, I nzechu suggestions about the competitions, using fundednext monthly competition is the best way forward where we can get access to performance tracking without mago mago or wuru wuru shenanigans, although I don't think we need to follow their lot size rules, I'd rather prefer infofirst style just like we did during the sit up challenge where a maximum lot size cap of 0.1 lot was placed for the 10k, so we can empoy that for the 100k with 1lot and max of 2 open position, that daddy infofirst always preaches strict risk money management and a slow and steady approach... Thank you sir...

I want to believe the persons with the thought of using the fundednext competition trading rules want to kill 2 birds with a stone.

I concur with the @infofirst rules on the last sit up challenge to avoid gambling and unnecessary risks.

@infofirst @samfelly

Higher TF perspective:

On the daily TF I want to see XAUUSD price to close above the open price of the downclose daily candle of the 14th May 2025 and trigger the buy limit at the price level of 3254.388 which is the opening price of the daily downclose candle of 14th May.

If the BUY LIMIT is triggered, then it is a massive swing buy to the both price levels 3435 first and then 3500 buyside liquidities respectively.

My trade logic:

There's a daily dealing range of high of 3500 and low of 2956 price levels that contains a smaller range within it which has a STL that has been taken indicated with the blue trendline by the May 14th daily downclose candle and was immediately rejected to the upside.

If this downclose is fully closed above, then it becomes a daily +OB that price needs to be retraced into first and reprices it to the upside with momentum.

Also, note that the daily STL taken is also below the equilibrium of the daily dealing range high and low price levels which clearly shows to me that my Order Pairing theory model will most likely be at play.

Another confluence is that there is a weekly IRL indicated by the gray rectangle that that has been tagged and importantly an SMT is formed within it with XAGUSD on the daily.

So with this above, I'm expecting the sell stops taken at the daily STL to be orderpaired with the buystops at both the 3435 and 3500 ( weekly ERL) price levels indicated by the black horizontal lines.

If this my last condition is met, this is a massive swing buy.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting on my hands and watching with the eye of an eagle to wait for the long setup to complete.

HTF perspective and Order flow will always give a clean and clear view reading and interpreting price.

Happy new year to friends and fellow traders.

GabsonFX2:
I have posted all the trades they listed violated the lot size rule, that is a fat lie - all the lots are within their calculated lower and upper band lots.

You can also click on my signature to see the trade lists on the explorer I created for their live on forexfactory

It so obvious they are here to rip traders off.

It's painful. Kindly do your chargeback thing joor. Useless prop firm.

DXY is still going to be dropping on the higher time frames until at least the long term low on the weekly is taken out. This is a long term view though.

I'm still expecting some more bullish run on NASDAQ and maybe Gold but this is largely depended on if DXY will move down out of the equilibrium price level of the weekly range or it continues ranging around this important area.

@jameselias,

I know this is a cry for help and not that you really want to do it.

You will definitely bounce back if you stick to your vision that you dream for yourself achieving in forex.

Think long term and know that it's a process which you must grow through like you're currently doing.

Kindly go back to your barbing and start working from home and offering home service.

Meanwhile, you should continue to learn forex trading proper this time around via demo and trading it as real money until you know that you can conveniently and consistently make increased profit.

Please and please while learning and practicing with demo be real to yourself and never lie to you about your progress.

You'll be fine. I promise you.

Note guys: Many persons that come online to say they're tired of life due to whatever challenges they've faced or facing do not really want to do such but it's their way of crying out for help.

TradingGod:


Consistency in following your laid down rules over and over again regardless of the outcome

Apt.

Consistency is a great key to success in this trading business.

Do make sure you show up everyday.

Happy cheers FTA!

The market is erratic because of the NFP news driver dropping at 2:30 pm today.

Let's trade smart.

@Davigled, Please don't lose your psych to the fluctuations
of the market.

I suggest and advise that you trade only NY session and preferably
the A.M session.

This week is laced with high impact news drivers which will induce high volatility but come with manipulations in disguise.

Let's trade smart.

Hello Guys,

I have a verified FBS and I wanted to create
a cent but it was not possible and I cant
only get one done through a referral by an IB and I don't have one.

How do I create a cent guys. I want to fund
it this weekend.

Thanks.

Donvic4u:


Alright

I just sent you a DM here. I'll need
your reply to my email so I can forward the pdf to you.

Davigled:


I'm calling it a day, my psychology is really forked right now, I am stupidly confused and I have had the worst week since the beginning of the year, my God I feel very hurt right now emotionally, because I have been on a Lossing streak since the start of the week and I keep asking myself, is it not the same market that I have been trading, my brain is hurting at the moment and I wonder if I can be going through this pain on a demo I wonder what would happen to me in on a live , abeg ooo make bp and heart attack no kill me...

Oh Jesus help me, pls help me

First thing, this is a phase that you must grow through. Notice
I didn't say "go through" but "grow through".

Trading is a process that you must appreciate each growing phase.

Also, stop beating up yourself emotionally PLEASE! It doesn't help.

Like my mentor will say, when you lose relax and trade again
because you'll make much more than you may have lost previously.

Personally, I will say you should stick to one instrument for now
in order to master it and know your choice ICT trading concepts
like the palm of your hand. There and then you can add one more
instrument to it.

For instance, I love to trade NASDAQ and no other because of
its volatility but late NOV 2023 to DEC 2023 it was so tough for
me to analyse like I used to and was having huge drawdown.

This also affected my chance in the last 'Sit Up Challenge' but then
I had to decide what next to do and I chose Gold also for its volatility.

Since then, I have been having a smooth sailing with it applying my
favorites ICT concepts: MMXM and Unicorn Model.

I have taken the out of a deep drawdown to almost 40%
in equity profit today.

I have losses but it has been easier to regain it back almost the next day.

It is a demo by the way. It still amazes me as to why I see my concepts
work so perfectly trading gold. Funnily, I trade it every trading day which
has made me to accrue some avoidable losses. But I've not touched my favorite
NASDAQ till today. I'll trade it until I'm confident again to read and analyse
with results I want.

@Davigle, I hope this helps bro.

@Donvic4u, if you don't mind I will send you the MT4 trading history data
pdf to see if you'll consider offering me a prop firm to trade. And any other
bosses here too.

infofirst:
Forex market is not the problem. The market makers are not the problem. The brokers nor the prop firms are not the problem.


YOU ARE THE PROBLEM

The forex market is easy. You are the one making it Hard.

Oga Boss!

God bless you for saying this out of my lips.

You can't say it louder than this.

Davigle:


Yes of course I am also an ICT student, a die hard ICT students to the core, I only try to mix fundamentals with ICT concepts and I don't trade any other way.
you are right about the mmsm profile on the 4h chart, and if you checked my chart at the start of the week i was bearish on gold, from the cot report the commercials were net short and they added more short positions to their hedging program, meanwhile the non commercials who were net long reduced their long positions this made me believe that gold will sell because the next draw on liquidity was the bisi on the daily chart of 13/12/2023. And gold did sell all through the week but I foolishly fought against the trend, I saw some analysis online which made me totally forget and for go my analysis and I paid dearly for that mistake. looking at the chart on the 4h, price respected the -OB of 7 am EST of 05/01/2024 and also the SIBI of 5 pm EST of 08/01/2024 which was on Monday, the low of Monday created SSL, which was finally taken out yesterday after I stabbed back into both the -OB and SIBI taking out IRL b4 proceeding to take out ERL which was SSL residing at the low of Monday. I also was able to profit off gold, YM and NQ today because not only PPI moved it but it had began to rise due to geopolitical tension in the middle east, the strikes carried out by the US and UK combined force against the houthi's in Yemen sent both gold and oil flying, falling treasury yields and a low PPI released gave me the confirmation of dollar weakness as institutional orderflow is bearish on the DXY with price unable to break above the SIBI of 7 am EST 05/01/2024 on the 4h chart and the weekly SIBI of 10/12/2023, which is resting just above the 4h SIBI. so I long gold and got out at 2060 and I also longed YM and NQ targeting PDH, which hit tp and covered for yesterday's losses.

Going forward my focus on gold is on the high of last week Friday 05/01/2024 which was created by NFP as BSL is residing there. I see a +MSS with the candle of 7 am EST 12/01/2024 breaking the high of 7 am EST 11/01/2024 which is the high created by I. this makes last week Friday the next draw on liquidity. Another interesting thing to note is that if you check EU on either the daily or 4h chart, that the highs created by both NFP last week and I yesterday are equal to the tick. Besides institutional orderflow is still bullish as price continues to make higher lows.

my charts below on gold at the start of the week and the after math.

Kudos to you bro.

ICT concepts do truly take a while to understand and once it begins to click, all parts will be coming together as they should.

I only trade NASDAQ until recently in the last week of December 2023 that I began to see the concept I prefer most jumping up at me trading gold. MMXM, +-BB (Unicorn setup), are my personal favorites I look to trade in order not to be lost in the deep ocean of ICT concepts.

I strictly trade one at a time between NASDAQ and gold. If I'm trading Gold today, I ignore NASDAQ and vice versa. This has been helping my consistency in trade profit which is boosting my psychology per se.

I really don't do fundamental analysis except to wait only the red folder US Dollars news release at 8:30 am NY time and nothing more. I also mind the red folder US Dollars news release at 10am NY time but not as much as the 8:30 am release.

Continue grinding and we will all get there.

Like my mentor will say: show up everyday. Consistency is key both in practicing, trading live and profit making.

Cheers.

Crumbian:




I really don't like ICT, though there are people making money using it. The concept tries to cover too much with too many labels. Thought the idea was to make trading simpler and not more confusing.



And what the hell is bisi?

The truth is you don't have to like it because there are many ways to skin a cat.

But personally and from my own observation and understanding of ICT, it actually makes trading simple and knowing why market is printing at certain times it is printing it.

Emmizay12:


All this grammar ontop buy or sell

People wey dey trade using ICT concepts know and understand the language. It's not grammar as you thought but speaking in ICT language.

Davigle:
Finally network don land , e b like say village pipu cease all network for my area since yesterday evening, just checking the chart to see my gold sell trade yesterday chop stoploss. BLS abi Fed reverse dey mad with all their manipulation. Looking at the chart on the daily and 4h, ebi like say yesterday was statement bulls no win neither did bears win, market just go up down and con close for the middle. abeg make market close today make I no which way we fit go.

I believe you're an ICT trader from some of your trade analyses here
on your charts.

If you looked at the H4 chart of gold closely, you'll notice that it was
in the MMSM which started from 3 weeks ago and took out the
original consolidation low (15/12/2023) just yesterday during the
NY AM session.

So the moment the MMSM was done with yesterday NY AM session
by taking out the sellside liquidity and stabbed a little into the H4
BISI (13/12/2023), it had to reprice almost immediately into a buy program
which continues into today's NY AM session.

Kindly take your time to study the Weekly, Daily and H4 PD Arrays any day
you want to trade if you're going to use ICT concepts.

For instance, I knew the I news release would be used as a Judas swing
clearing the buyside liquidity of the relative equal highs on H4(both 9th & 10th of this month)
and then would reprice down to take out the original consolidation low (15/12/2023) of the MMSM.
And it played out just like that because the H4 MMSM program cycle had to be completed.

I waited for the buyside liqiudity to be cleared first and ed the sell as soon as the the dust
of the I news settled down and the price gave me an entry to the original consolidation low.

Today, I only bought after the PPI news released as soon as the 5th candle
started printing on the 1 minute TF and got out at the C.E of last week
Friday 1 Hour wick was tagged.

My point here is this: The higher TFs orderflow and PD Arrays are
vital to being successful with ICT concepts

Anyways, I'm still a fresher student of ICT.

Keep on grinding bro.

Working on myself in this trading business is my focus and I'm doing this by trading my strategy both on demo and live.

Happy New Year once again family.

Cc infofirst, oga boss how you dey now?

pls has anyone gotten to Live with Maven prop firm?
I'm asking cuz i want to know if asides from the requested government issued ID and Proof of address, if there's anything else they required in KYC

Concerning this when I asked about it some months agao on the livechat with maven, I was told that if you have int'l port it is enough for their KYC.

However, you can by chatting them up.

Good day guys.

Make sure you know how to trade very convincingly to yourself before diving to trade for real.

And I don't mean you should become a pro before launching out but be profitably consistent in your trading.

The process is very important so don't jump over it by focusing on the money. This can only end in losses and blowing of s.

I love all of una.
