ICT explains how winning streaks can create overconfidence (“Midas Touch”) that leads traders to increase leverage and then suffer demoralizing losses, so he recommends building “plateaus” by scaling down after a set number of wins (e.g., after five winning trades, drop to the smallest size) to reduce drawdowns and emotional damage. He promotes an income-based approach using one micro contract, targeting consistent weekly percentage gains (e.g., 7.5%) and illustrates with a live, real-money example of making over $400 on a small account using liquidity targets and inversion fair value gap entries. He advises using circuit-breaker rules after losses, accepting imperfection, avoiding rushing into larger markets, and preventing “scar tissue.” The discussion briefly shifts to disaster preparedness (hurricanes, power/internet loss) and how such stress would likely halt trading, then broadens into concerns about societal instability and control, urging practical readiness.
