The Unknown Student

We are limited of what we can do. We can’t move the price but we can: 1. Follow rule-based process-oriented system 2. Trade high probability trades. 3. Risk & trade management Those things we have a control of. If done correctly & followed, you’ll see results.

Started at 13 with my first job and began accumulating, diversifying, and stacking consistently. I had no friends and no one understood it. Most thought I was crazy while they were focused on parties and drugs, but I sacrificed my younger years to build a foundation for the future and the freedom to never have to work again.

When you make real money, create Trusts, and family management LLCs so your children can have measured access with tax benefits and sheltering. These 20 year old have no idea what they are doing but want to teach you how to make money.

It’s not something I can explain fully in one thread or video. Save that question in a notepad and it’ll get answered as you progress. But let me give you something to work with. FVGs serve multiple functions depending on context. They are structural references the algorithm interacts with, serving as anchors shaped by the narrative and the surrounding conditions. With that, a FVG becomes a reference point that explains why the move is unfolding the way it is. In this case, it served as a filter for weakness, and acted as a catalyst within that process. The algorithm being executed required a BA gap to form, followed by speed and magnitude to validate the condition. This is why viewing a FVG as a simple chart pattern misses the point. Its role depends entirely on its placement in the narrative, what occurred beforehand, what the algorithm aims to deliver, and what must be confirmed before weakness is allowed to show (speaking within this specific framework).

How well designed and thought through is your algorithm? How effectively can it mitigate undesirable conditions?

As the series are being developed, been posting these recordings for the real students out there who’ve been paying attention while patiently waiting. These aren’t meant as lectures but as clear snapshots of highly specific delivery the algorithm does, giving your eyes what they need, to be trained. Been busy, so last Friday’s recording is only going up now, with its primary reference to FVG ( coined by @I_Am_The_ICT ). Note that not every FVG is a FVG, and therefore it’s not just a pattern on a chart. It must occur within the proper context and align with the underlying narrative. And a FVG does not end at its first print; the algorithm may return to and reclaim previous FVGs as it executes its delivery. This could’ve been played in several ways: short into the low and then long, or by waiting for the reclaimed FVG to confirm. Opted for the approach a developing student would reasonably take while keeping sound money management in place, with the first trade resulting in a loss. Notice how once the low was taken, price immediately returned back to the reclaimed FVG and closed on a 1-minute basis. That’s precise algorithmic delivery!

Note that ‘undesirable conditions’ is relative to the structure each algorithm defines within its own context of execution, meaning each will interpret the same environment differently. There are algorithms that would absolutely see this same environment as favourable. It essentially all comes down to your personality and the algorithm you choose to execute. Some algorithms are designed to function within a range expansion while disregarding the close, seeking to capture a single-direction move within a defined time window. Others can execute in both directions, and some are capable of operating continuously throughout the entire window. The one executed in the recording worked within an hourly range expansion, where the bulk of the range forms below the open (within the body) and the close prints above 70% of the entire range when bearish, and vice versa. Being a universal trader by nature, my mind wants to engage with every setup it sees. This is where the question of discipline becomes critical: how well can one execute a specific algorithm without deviation or distraction? Any personal opinions about the market remain irrelevant throughout execution. I record my observations, but only during the review phase are those notes and reflections evaluated.

@booty_crypto You didn’t miss anything. Those early groups were more like experiments while I was still refining my teachings. It’s much more structured & efficient now, so when it opens again you’ll be starting on a stronger foundation.

@_001_122 I missed your private group. Fuck. Thanks for sharing though

Reserved for my private group, but decided to share here too.

@requiemfor77766 In the most basic, simplest terms: Inter-market understanding and cross-pair analysis blended with algorithmic theory. DXY is strong, EG is weak. They’re holding GU while allowing EU to tank.

@_001_122 yes my brother i notice that and i am confusing why they dont take liquidity

Trump intervening with my plans smh 🫠 Luckily, it’s a swing account, so I’m permitted to hold over the weekend 🤝 “The Nonfarm Payroll (NFP) report was moved from October 3rd to October 10th because of the U.S. government shutdown, which paused non-essential federal operations, including those of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). While the data was likely collected, the shutdown prevented the official release of the report.”

@akarshtrades @I_Am_The_ICT Next year [Apologies for the delay]. I Overestimated how much work the first series would take. This is what it’s like being a student of the unknown. You don’t quit though, just adapt and keep working 💥

@_001_122 @I_Am_The_ICT Series when sir ?

Randomness...

@marko_vrecko @I_Am_The_ICT

Study this.. at first you will say its a bullshit but than you will find correlation between @I_Am_The_ICT logo and 369.

@ImadxAli314400 I’m currently trading on TopStepX platform. It’s the default settings in dark mode they have. Just removed the grid lines.

@_001_122 Bro is there any place that i can find your charts colour i really like it

@gazicelen358 The second video will be expanded & replaced with the first series. The third video is part of second series.
