2024 ICT Mentorship - NQ Market Review: October 3

Notes

  • In this lecture, Michael breaks down his short trade from Thursday, October 3, the day before the Non-Farm Payroll announcement.
  • Michael advises new traders to avoid trading on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays during NFP week.
  • We should trade only on Mondays and Tuesdays, as the market tends to be more predictable and stable during these weeks.
  • Over time, with experience and mentorship, we will develop the skills needed to handle such conditions and trade even on those difficult days.
  • The Breakaway Gap occurs as the market shifts higher or lower after a period of consolidation, indicating that a significant market move could be underway.
