I trade NQ using ICT concepts: precision executions and high-quality trade breakdowns. I document : timing, liquidity, discipline, and risk. Follow if you want to study: • Live executions • Exact entry models • Risk management • Trading psychology This is the journey.

Anybody else in this?

No trades today. Saw nothing to my liking.

How did you do today?

$NQ Paper Execution:

$NQ PM Session Paper Execution: +5.2R, 123 Points. EQLs from AM swept during the lunch macro as per its profile, leaving buyside liquidity. Entered long targeting swing high formed during lunch. +IOFED entry | Algorithmic price delivery to the upside.

$NQ AM Execution:

$NQ AM Session: +2.5R. Had an ambitious target to the RTH ORG High with clean EQHs resting above. Price took out high from Pre-session and stopped out in profit. This was attempt 2. Got stopped out on attempt 1 of the same trade on the 10:59am candle and re-entered.

$NQ: Opted to tape-read without engagement today. This is the most algorithmically sound price delivery I observed from the AM to the start of PM session that I resonated with. Right at the start of the lunch macro (11:30am-1:30pm), price does as it should as per the profile of the lunch macro. Beautiful delivery to the lows created after 10am and ultimately reaching to the pre-session 8am low. How did you feel about today?

@I_Am_The_ICT Staying solvent and staying clear. It’s encouraging to see what was anticipated unfold cleanly, even with all the noise around it. Tape reading the AM session really shows how clarity is still there if you stay patient and focused.

Are you staying solvent today? Are you encouraged to see the things we anticipated unfold so perfectly?

@I_Am_The_ICT In conditions like this, stepping back is calming. When price is being manipulauted, it’s a chance to stay calm, observe, and tape read how delivery changes under pressure. Sometimes the best move is to learn from it, not trade it.

Everyone else is puzzled this morning. Enjoy the calm.

Taking the day to tape-read and observe.

@I_Am_The_ICT Seeing $NQ also open below the daily sellside (11/17 Low). Seeing price wick into the C.E. of Friday's discount wick. Would be nice to see that being the high of the daily candle and potentially start seeing it leave the tight range it's been bounded to.

Again, what did you witness?

$NQ: As anticipated, price opens below the daily sellside (11/21 Low) identified. It certainly still is not safe to assume that price has escaped the range that it has been bounded to. It is important to see where this candle closes. I would like to see how price reacts to the 3/09 daily wick. I wanna see price stay below the C.E. of that wick on a closing basis if we are going to move lower.

$NQ: Seeing a body closing near the low of the daily range on the 1D chart. Price close to the next daily Sellside level. If it does want to escape the range it’s bounded in, let’s see where we open on Sunday evening. Can we anticipate a geopolitical event taking place to escape the range over the weekend?

@hert_____a Try toggling the “SET” button because it may or may not be using the settlement price for the candle closure.

@prodigy_005 on my side we already took this low, why our chart are not the same ?

$MNQ 1 Micro Execution: +3.3R in the 4-4:10pm Macro. Scalp on the 10s chart, trading within the 3/6 1st p.FVG (from low to high). Currently traveling, so didn’t take any other trades and was not present all day until last 30 min tapereading. Executed with 1 micro for scalping practice.

Large 1m candle right before the end of 2:50-3:10pm macro closing just above Thursday 1st p.FVG C.E. Next candle takes out Friday's high and wicks into the event horizon of 2/23 and 3/12 1st p.FVGs prior to closing above Thursday 3/12 1st p.FVG C.E. Price then delivers to the ORG high (9:30 open) beautifully. How can one deny the algorithm seeing this precision?

Monitoring Thursday 1st P.FVG... no rush for setup so far. Last Monday levels used overnight

The precision is what keeps me studying it. Most people assume markets are random because that is what we are taught to believe. But when you study the concepts deeply, you start to see how logical and calculated the price delivery actually is. Even after years of studying it, the consistency and precision across timeframes is still fascinating to me. That is what keeps me here. Not broker statements.

Are you going to stop following me if I stop showing broker statements or executions? If not, why?
