ICT / Michael J. Huddleston announces he will enter the Robins Cup (Robinhood/Robbins Cup trading competition) in 2024 and lays out his purpose, plan and challenges to the trading community.

Key points:
– Public challenge and rivals: He calls out several online traders (notably Vinny Emini / AlgoBox, Curtis G, Tom Dante) and dares them to compete. He praises one person, “M7,” for publicly committing and urges more influencers, mentors and students to join the competition to prove their claims.
– Objective and timeline: He will register in January, fund and begin trading in February, and intends to publicly display his account and monthly statements at year-end (copying the CFTC). He plans to leave social media on November 11 and return only to post final proof.
– Goal: He aims to beat Larry Williams’ Robins Cup record and win the futures division in 2024 (says failing to do so would be a personal failure).
– Trading strategy: Focus on index futures (ES/Nasdaq) over Forex; use “smart money” concepts (liquidity, fair value gaps, order blocks); trade very selectively (one high‑probability setup per day/session, limited weekly trades); pyramid entries with largest base first and risk only the last small entry; strict stops and money management; target ~12.5% per week starting from a $10k base (compound growth).
– On evidence and transparency: Responding to accusations about demo/gamed accounts, he insists his live trading and prior posted executions are verifiable, rejects MT4/MT5 demo skepticism, and promises full, auditable disclosure of his Robins Cup results.
– On competitors and community: He argues the competition is third‑party audited and CFTC‑regulated, making it the definitive public test of trading skill. He encourages entrants because participation—even without winning—earns respect; failure to participate nullifies credibility to criticize later.
– Teaching and responsibility: Emphasizes personal responsibility in trading, criticizes “image” marketing and signal/sales-driven educators, and claims many of his students are profitable using his methods.
– Tone and disposition: Extremely confrontational and confident throughout; frequently insults named critics but frames the message as both a provocation to rivals and encouragement to serious traders to prove themselves in the public arena.

Overall: He is publicly committing to a fully transparent, competitive, year‑long challenge to prove his trading methodology, calls others to either join or be silenced, and promises to demonstrate results auditable by the community and regulators.
