How to apply concepts in a structured way.
Don't blindly search for a 2-stage, a strength switch, or a PSP.
Narrative + qualified swing + LTF signature = a complete, high-probability Universal Model trade.
5 components approach: components 1-3 are how we build “narrative”
1. Draw on liquidity: "Where is price going?"
• ERL > ERL (order-paired ranges) = Reversal
• IRL > ERL (FVG > swing) = Continuation
• ERL > IRL (swing > FVG) = Retracement
Consider proximity to relevant swings, low vs high resistance, and phase of price.
2. Profile: "How do we get there, and which session reversed?"
• OHLC/OLHC & Po3 on Daily and H4 (session)
• Asia, London (classic or delayed), NY reversals, or Void profiles (S&D)
• expansion conditions is filtered
through wick size; large wick is the negative / invalidation ; Delayed P
3. Key level: "Where will we create a swing toward our draw?"
• Reversals: relevant swings, order-paired ranges (ERL)
• Continuations away from a reversal: FVGs (IRL)
• C2/C3 swing formations
At this point you have a price narrative. Now you filter for high-probability swings.
4. Cracks in correlation: "How do we confirm a swing from this key level?"
• At a true reversal: 2-stage CiC, some variant of SMT + PSP (Masterclass Pt. 1)
• In continuation: at least a 1-stage CiC inside a gap, typically SMT fill. Think MMXM redistribution away from an FVG (Masterclass Pt. 2)
5. LTF V-shape: the reversal signature that confirms the swing
• V-shape away from the key level + CiC + filter
• Choose whichever reversal signature you like: CISD, iFVG, displacement (FVG), MSS
Advanced filters: adding precision
• Gap selection & key level refinement
• Advanced premium & discount
• Decoupling (6:00 H4 on indices): at a decoupled 9:30 expansion, identify which assets are manipulating vs in distribution, then trade the resync with CiC (Algo 1)
• SMT breaking & strength switching: use SS to time when the lagging asset expands to the diverged high/low. CiC is a filter on a swing, so trading a lagger in continuation means demanding an SS-CiC (SS-SMT fill in a gap, or SS-PSP). See my lecture "Strength Switching Universal Frameworks"

It's such an honour to be on @Wordsofrizdom
This is my first time on a podcast. I was so nervous that I couldn't even speak proper English 🫠🫠
Thank you for having me. I appreciate everyone who watched this episode and I hope I added some value to the trading space.

Losses aren’t really the problem in trading.
The reaction to them is.
Most experienced traders don’t try to avoid losses.
They accept them as part of the process.
The damage usually comes after.
Revenge trades.
Increasing size.
Trying to win it back quickly.
That reaction hurts more than the loss itself.
The shift happens when losses are taken without urgency.
No overtrading. No emotional decisions. Just the next clean setup.
Because one loss means very little.
A bad reaction can ruin everything.
After a loss, what drives your next move, emotion or process?

Legendary CME floor trader, Lewis Borsellino believes successful traders share one thing in common: a specific personality type.
“If you went to work all week and your boss said, ‘yeah, you did a good job this week, but I can't pay you.’ How long would you do that job for?”
“Trading is one of the only professions where you can work hard…
Do everything right…And still make no money for weeks.”
That’s why most people quit.
Most people can’t be traders. Not because they’re not smart. But because they can’t handle loss.
The question is simple: Can you keep showing up anyway?

I’ll try to break this down.
If a trader prefers to take things slow, without rushing or full-porting, I would recommend starting with Lucid 50K Flex. They have a consistency rule during the evaluation, but no consistency rule once funded.
Another benefit is that it’s a one-time evaluation fee, so if the trader doesn’t pass within the first month, there is no second monthly charge. As well as no activation fee!
On the other hand, if a trader is more consistent and confident, they could try Tradeify Select 50K. This option has a monthly fee, but the profit target is lower than Lucid’s. $2,500 vs $3,000. Also, no activation fee!
Both Lucid Flex and Tradeify Select have a consistency rule on the evaluation, but not on the funded account.
When it comes to payouts, I highly recommend looking at Take Profit Trader. They offer daily payouts, which is a huge advantage. Tradeify Select also has daily payouts option but in my opinion, TPT payout structure slightly better.
However, they use intraday trailing drawdown on funded accounts, and I’ve seen beginners get caught by that rule.
Still, the daily payout structure is very strong, and personally I really like how their payouts are set up.
To summarize, this trader should focus on a few key things:
1. Evaluation structure
Do you want to pay a monthly fee for the evaluation?
Are you okay with a consistency rule during the evaluation?
If yes → consider Lucid Flex or Tradeify Select.
If not → you could try Tradeify Growth or Lucid Pro, but the catch is that most prop firms remove consistency on the evaluation but add it on the funded account.
2. Type of drawdown
Understand the difference between:
•End-of-Day (EOD) drawdown (Tradeify, Lucid and Apex (new plan))
•Intraday trailing drawdown (TPT and Apex)
3. Daily loss limits ( yes for -> Tradeify Select Daily, Tradeify Growth, Lucid Pro // no for -> Tradeify Select Flex, Lucid Flex, TPT, Apex)
4. Payout caps and payout structure
Final thought
Once you start getting payouts, save that money and build your own live account. That should always be the long-term goal.

ICT IPDA Quarterly Shift 💎
The IPDA algorithm has both a lookback period and a cast forward period that can aid in anticipating when the next major trend reversal could change.
These IPDA periods coupled with other tools such as seasonal tendencies provide robust HTF analysis.

RTH Gap Tip (Indices). The most powerful thing I even seen!
When you’re looking for RTH gap fills, shift your focus to SPX first.
If SPX opens with a large RTH gap and, between 9:30–9:40 AM NY, price fails to take any key liquidity levels (HTF), avoid chasing the move.
Instead:
1. Wait for a retracement to ~25%-50% of the RTH gap
2. Look for rejection / reversal confirmation (usually 5-minute OB)
3. Target the nearest external liquidity level
