I’m a former head chef of a restaurant turned into a day trader. Was fed up with the amount of pressure and working hours I was under and decided to change my life. Took me long hours and hard work to reach consistency, but in the end, using ICT concepts, it all worked out.
I am a full-time trader and have been trading for 5 years.
I use ICT concepts to determine my entry. I determine higher timeframe bias at first, then look for the right time of the week to line up with my premium or discount levels to buy/sell. I use OTE levels and FVGs as entry points after timeframe alignment has occurred.
Psychology is the hardest part, not rushing the process was the hardest part. Taking it slow and steady and really waiting for ideal conditions to present itself. No need to trade every day.
I like to keep it around 0,5% – 1,0% max. I don’t like putting high risk on.
The key moment was realizing I don’t need to trade every day and waiting for the higher timeframe to be in line with my daily bias.
Took me over 3 years to become consistent and the change I made was patience and not rushing the process.
My mental strength is patience. I will wait long periods of time until the ideal conditions present itself.
As outlined earlier, I use ICT concepts. Timeframe alignment intraday lining up with Higher Timeframe key levels.
I appreciate the spreads and the return on investment by being able to trade higher amounts of capital.
I would recommend taking it slow, and you don’t need to rush the challenge, as there is no time limit.
