@topgunMwaisa @dhesi_trades Well it’s probably because ICT himself has no results and a bunch of crazy fake stories. While people who have taken the concepts and used it to work for them- have results and no elaborate fake stories.

Forged on institutional trading desks and shaped by real trading champions: Andrea Cimita understands how markets truly move; he’s operated where size actually moves price. And this is the part most traders don’t want to hear: Most think they understand what’s happening. They talk about “stop loss hunting”, they copy models, they follow patterns they’ve never tested, and then wonder why it doesn’t work. “The market isn’t hunting your stop.” It’s searching for liquidity… and you’re just caught in the wrong narrative. Same pattern. Completely different reason. Completely different outcome. That’s the gap. Not strategy, but Understanding. Because if your entire edge is built on a story that isn’t true… Then what are you actually trading? Full episode below👇

Most Traders Wait For Confirmation… he’s ALREADY In🚨 Andrea breaks down how he reads order flow, understands how candles are actually formed, and times entries before the move, not after it. Full episode 👇

@GaryEdgeXa That drift under pressure is what most don’t notice

@Wordsofrizdom That’s the key, but even with a defined plan, execution can still drift under pressure. Most people don’t realise how often they’re actually deviating from it until they see the pattern over time.

Psychology becomes a problem when decisions are not defined. Not because trading is emotional but because decisions are made under pressure. When entries, exits, and risk are clear before the trade there is nothing left to decide during it. That is where most mistakes come from. Hesitation on entries. Closing early. Holding losses longer than planned. Not lack of control just too many decisions in real time. Experienced traders solve this differently. They don’t fight emotions they remove the need to decide. Plan is set. Risk is defined. Execution is clear. So when the trade is live they are not reacting they are just following. That is how psychology stops being a problem. Not by controlling emotions but by building a process where emotions have no role. Are your decisions happening before the trade or during it?

@TradeClaris_ Decisions during the trade is where most damage happens

This is the exact reason most traders stay stuck in the pressure cooker. Psychology doesn’t break you because you’re emotional — it breaks you because you’re still making decisions when the trade is live, and your brain is already tilted. The shift that actually works: front-load EVERYTHING before the chart even opens — entry criteria, exact risk, exit plan, even the “if this then that” rules. Once the trade is on, you’re not deciding anymore. You’re just following the process you already built when you were calm. Emotions lose their seat at the table when the plan has already been voted on.

You should never let yourself take decisions during the trade. Also, especially for the less experienced trader, I see that fatigue can play a big role in decision making. Staring at the screen for too long, waiting for the setup to appear, just to make a completely wrong decision. Most would benefit from shorter sessions and more frequent breaks from the screen to take care of their mind and body.

Just for accuracy- it didn’t turn into a loser just a break even after partials taken. Probably would’ve been better to quote the original post rather than just images to share my commentary. Those losses are just compound entries attempted along the way down. The actual trades that were floating profits had already had partials taken as shown in the screenshots. Trailing perhaps could’ve taken place but given the range EU was in the last month I don’t see an invalidation for these trades other than at entry/top of the range given my target was much lower. I was risking 10% floating profits to try and gain an additional 40% in profits. It didn’t work out, I personally wouldn’t have done much differently. As I’m trying to catch a much larger trade. In this case the narrative shifted rapidly and I accepted the risk of stopping breakeven even before I took the trade. In my original post I shared in hindsight I could say I should’ve taken more off the table but I wanted to keep more volume to maximise the profit potential. With swing trading I’ve found that you have to stick to your bias and hold the volume on every trade vs cutting volume off as then you’re always chocking the winners of what you could make out of fear or worry of the market going against you. I did marry my bias but that’s because I was following my trade plan and I’m proud I followed it perfectly regardless of the overall result. As long as I don’t revenge trade and tilt now (which I don’t feel any emotion towards this “negative” outcome) then I’ve also continued to do everything correctly for my process. I’m still finding my sweet spot of managing trading around my day to day tasks of running the channels. My next transition is to trade a personal account vs prop firms as the swing accounts are being removed and even the “OG” prop firms are getting very silly with certain rules around “one sided betting” which as a swing trader makes no sense to me. Thank you for your attention on this matter. 🫡 Side note: out of interest where would you have personally managed stops for these trades? Happy to take a look to see if I missed something but on review I don’t see a clear place based on my target.

I mean fair play to Riz for being transparent… But this is what being married to a bias looks like. A trade that’s running 10% + of your account balance should never turn into a loser. This is why you should trail stops.

I guess we don’t need to worry about the one sided betting 🤣 Was risking $25,000 floating profit for potential $100,000 profit so was within my plan. These are losses of trying compounded entries over the last month. Overall happy with my performance - no tilt, no revenge trading, partials taken at key points, stuck to my original trade idea completely and in hindsight the only change would be lowering stops more into profits and potentially taking more off the table BUT that’s in hindsight. We have now swept liquidity from the highs of the range into weekly and daily gaps so let’s see. All it would take for short to the range or even low of the range would be tensions to rise again and conflict to continue (at this time a likely chance). Let’s continue to follow plans and systems 🤝 Thank you to everyone who said I was cooked, you tried to warn me 🤣

Should these trades play out to target (could easily go the other way) How much shall we bet if the prop firm will claim this is one sided betting? Context: Every entry was less than 1% risk. Before a new entry the previous trade was always breakeven. This is a swing account. Original entry on March 3rd. Never at any one time was more than 1% of risk on that table- actually think max risk was 0.75% What do you think?

@Wordsofrizdom Bro respectfully. If you took the fundamental/geopolitical analysis into your trading you would have avoided that lost and also trailed your SL I know it’s a swing trade but you still could trail your SL
