ICT Trader with 10 Years of Experience Breaks Down His Strategy (Step by Step)

Описание: In this video, you’ll hear the story of PJ Trades – an ICT-based NQ futures day trader who spent nearly a decade grinding through blown accounts, bad habits, and trial-and-error before finally locking into a repeatable process.

But this isn’t a “quick success” story. It’s about the 4 years it took just to break even, the countless times he wanted to quit, and how journaling + backtesting became the turning points that transformed his trading.

PJ started in forex back in 2016, bounced through options, crypto, and stocks, and eventually found a home in futures during the COVID era. That’s when he dove into ICT concepts, refined them into a streamlined playbook, and committed to trading the process over P&L.

Now, PJ trades NQ full-time using four core models he’s mastered. He focuses on liquidity sweeps, SMT, and inverse FVGs, executes with discipline, and journals every trade so he can recognize patterns and refine his edge.

💡 Learn how PJ uses ICT concepts, journaling, and backtesting to stay consistent in one of the toughest markets to trade.
