Trading GBPUSD | Judas Swing Strategy 18/03/2025Last week, the Judas Swing strategy only gave us 2 setups on FX:AUDUSD , but both hit their targets, locking in a solid 4% gain! Proof that patience and discipline always win in the long run. After these results, we were eager to see how the strategy would perform this week. And sure enough, a setup emerged on FX:GBPUSD on Tuesday! Let’s take you through how this trade played out On Monday, we scanned our usual currency pairs ( FX:GBPUSD , FX:AUDUSD , FX:EURUSD , OANDA:NZDUSD ) for potential setups, but none met our criteria so we stayed on the sidelines. Then came Tuesday, and a promising setup started taking shape on $GBPUSD. That got us excited and we were eager to see how this trade would unfold! After liquidity was swept from the lows of our range, our focus shifted to potential buying opportunities. To confirm our bias, we needed to see a break of structure to the upside before committing to the trade. Twenty-five minutes later, we got a break of structure to the upside, confirming our bias. This move left behind a Fair Value Gap (FVG), signaling an inefficiency in pricing. We now anticipate a retracement to fill this imbalance once that happens, we'll be ready to enter the trade The next five minute candle entered and closed in the imbalance which meant we could execute our trade using 1% of our trading account and aiming for a 2% return, ensuring our winners outweigh our losers. With this strategy maintaining a win rate of around 50%, sticking to it consistently positions us for long-term profitability After executing the trade, we faced a deep drawdown, a moment where many traders who over-leverage might panic as price edged closer to the stop loss. But we remained unfazed. Why? Because we only risked what we could afford to lose, staying disciplined and accepting whatever outcome the trade would bring—win or lose. Upon checking the trade once again, we noticed price had turned around and begun moving in our intended direction which was good to see but the objective had not been met so we had to be patient and wait for the final outcome of the trade After 3 hours and 15 minutes, our FX:GBPUSD trade finally hit take profit, securing a 2% gain so far this week, all from a well-managed 1% risk

US500 StanceThe equal lows from the 4H price action had me thinking. If we look at it from a range perspective, there is still a wide gap left from the 4H change of character, ever since it took the last low of the lower lows, it never gave a single percent to the area's retracement. This might be a daily timeframe FOMO trap. whereby recovery of the market from sells to buys will be pumped to only drop again. In terms of entry. There is a zone with mind for us to consider seeing if it holds. because right now there is some dying triangle pattern towards it. should it delay, but keep showing some sell intent. we will wait for the session to sweep its high and sell it. should it fail, a further analysis will take through

Missed trade opportunity on MNQ due to Tight SLOnce again, we shifted sl too soon and got stopped out of a good trade. It was nice to see the outcome, it ended up tapping inside of that Volume imbalance once again before falling over quickly for the remaining sellside liqudity. If my SL was kept at the highs we would've captured the whole move. This week I have been feeling a little tired and my birthday is this thursday guys!! lol I would hate to have a bad trading week on my BDAY 😢. I don't know if that's why I am being so cautious, I wanna enjoy my week. haha Anyways, I will post any new trades if I get into another one.

Gold (XAU/USD) - Potential Liquidity Sweep Before ReversalGold has been in a strong uptrend, forming a rounded bottom pattern, which led to a breakout above key resistance. Currently, price is consolidating near the all-time high (ATH) around $3,005, suggesting a potential liquidity sweep before a larger move. 📌 Key Observations: Rounded Bottom Formation: A bullish reversal pattern led to a breakout. Consolidation Zone: Price is ranging just below the ATH, likely gathering liquidity. Liquidity Sweep & Weak Highs: The chart suggests a push above the ATH to trigger stops before a potential reversal. Projected Bearish Move: A break lower could lead to a corrective move towards $2,920 - $2,800 in the coming sessions. ⚠️ Trading Plan: Bullish Scenario: A clean breakout above ATH with strong volume could invalidate the bearish setup. Bearish Scenario: If the liquidity sweep occurs and price fails to hold above ATH, a strong sell-off could follow. Traders should watch for confirmation signals before entering any positions.

Trading AUDUSD | Judas Swing Strategy 07/03/2025Last week was a slow one for the Judas Swing strategy, with barely any setups presenting themselves. Throughout the week, we closely monitored the currency pairs we trade ( FX:EURUSD , FX:GBPUSD , OANDA:AUDUSD , and OANDA:NZDUSD ) scouting for setups with the Judas swing strategy. After days of waiting, a promising opportunity finally emerged on $AUDUSD. In this write-up, we’ll take you through the details of how this trade unfolded. We arrived at our trading desk five minutes before our trading session began and immediately started looking for potential setups. After 35 minutes, we saw a sweep of liquidity at the lows of $AUDUSD. The next requirement on our checklist was to wait for a break of structure (BOS) to the buy side to confirm our bias. An hour later, the BOS finally occurred, leaving us with just one last condition to fulfill before executing our trade. We saw a retrace into the Fair Value Gap (FVG), completing all the criteria on our entry checklist. With our conditions met, we executed the trade with the following parameters: Entry: 0.63024 Stop Loss (SL): 0.62822 Take Profit (TP): 0.83431 After executing the trade, we were in profit for a few minutes before price reversed, putting us in deep drawdown. But did this phase us? Not at all. Why? Because we had risked only 1% of our trading account an amount we were fully prepared to lose. This meant that regardless of the trade’s outcome, it wouldn’t affect us emotionally or disrupt our trading mindset. This is exactly how we want you, as traders, to approach the market. When you risk only what you can afford to lose, you protect yourself psychologically, avoid unnecessary emotional stress, and create the foundation for long term success. Trading with this mindset will allow you to stay disciplined, make rational decisions, and ultimately see better results When we checked on the trade again, we saw that we were back in profit. We didn’t let this affect our mindset because our objective for this trade had not yet been met. Instead of getting caught up in temporary gains, we remained patient and focused, waiting for the trade to play out fully Unfortunately, we had to hold this trade longer than expected as we waited for the final outcome. This time our patience didn’t pay off, and our OANDA:AUDUSD trade ended in a loss. Some of you may be wondering why did we hold for so long? Based on our backtesting data, the odds are in our favor when we take a set-and-forget approach rather than actively managing the trade by moving stops to breakeven after reaching 1R or taking partial profits. We have a system, and we followed it. Our data has shown that sticking to this strategy yields better results over time. As traders, we encourage you to remain disciplined and trust your system. No matter the outcome of a single trade, staying committed to your plan is a win in itself

2025 ICT Mentorship: Premium & Discount Price Delivery Intro2025 ICT Mentorship: Lecture 4_Premium & Discount Price Delivery Intro Greetings Traders! In this video, we dive into the fundamental concept of Premium and Discount Price Delivery—a crucial aspect of smart money trading that helps us understand how institutions approach the market with precision and efficiency. Understanding Currency Pairs Before we explore premium and discount dynamics, it's essential to grasp the basics of currency pairs. A currency pair, like EUR/USD or GBP/USD, represents the value of one currency against another. For example, EUR/USD shows how many U.S. dollars (the quote currency) are needed to purchase one euro (the base currency). Just like any other tradable asset, currency pairs fluctuate in value due to various economic and market factors. Trading Is Part of Everyday Life Believe it or not, everyone in the world is a trader. Whether you're buying groceries at a store or negotiating for goods and services, you're participating in trading activities daily. Some people aim to purchase items at a discount, while others can afford to pay a premium—it’s simply part of life. However, banks and financial institutions take trading to another level. They don’t just trade haphazardly—they operate with extreme precision, aiming to make high-quality investments by executing trades at premium prices and targeting discount levels. This strategic approach allows them to capitalize on market inefficiencies and ensure profitable outcomes. Why Premium and Discount Matter? The concept of premium and discount price delivery is foundational for understanding how the market moves. By recognizing where the market is trading at a premium (overvalued) versus a discount (undervalued), traders can make more informed decisions and align their strategies with institutional order flow. Stay tuned as we break down how to identify these zones on a chart and how to incorporate them into your trading strategy.
