Summary:

– ICT reviews his analysis and live execution on the September NQ futures for trading Friday, June 20/21, 2025, and references a pre-market video he posted at 4:50 a.m. ET on X/Twitter that outlined his bias and expected price behavior.
– He had a bearish bias: he didn’t expect new highs, predicted price would overlap a specific daily range (marked on charts), and warned of weekend gap risk driven by Middle East geopolitical developments (Iran/Israel and likely U.S. involvement).
– His methodology centers on identifying repeated, high-probability levels using multi-timeframe concepts (long/intermediate/short swing highs), PD arrays, order-blocks, inefficiencies (“CIBI”/“BISI”), opening-range and fair-value-gap logic—levels he says repeat and produce reliable setups.
– Using that framework he executed a market-maker sell model: shorted into the rally above Wednesday’s daily high, pyramided, and captured the subsequent drop and gap closure. The trade largely unfolded as he predicted; some wick action briefly pierced a level but bodies respected his structure.
– He emphasizes that this skill is gained through long experience and disciplined backtesting and cannot be shortcut by courses, signal services, or copying; his teaching aims to make students self-sufficient rather than dependent.
– He also mentions technical issues with his Camtasia recordings (static screenshots during live recording) and explains why he doesn’t trade fully live for large audiences (broadcasting entries would degrade execution).
– Throughout he asserts the uniqueness and proprietary nature of his approach, challenges others to replicate it, and stands by the pre-market call he posted publicly.

Answer Key and Evidence

Q1 Answer: A
Evidence: “This is why I’m not supply and demand. Supply and demand is infancy. It’s it’s it’s lacking a lot.” (transcript)

Q2 Answer: B
Evidence: “What happens if just oh, I don’t know, 10% of them, five% of them all try to get the same fill I’m aiming for, I’m probably not going to get filled. … it’ll it’ll distort or throw off or thwart my edge, my my very specific element of entry.” (transcript)
