Ash Trades | The Journey To Profitability & The Unicorn Model

[@Howdyparner]

This was incredibly helpful! My biggest set back is my emotions. As a person with ADHD I chemically wired for impulsivity. But I'm determined to overcome that struggle. Thank you for sharing your journey so that the rest of us could learn from it. And thank you to TTrades for seeking great content for the community of ICT traders.

[@ExploreFreedomTv]

The same. Did you find any tip for that?

[@Howdyparner]

His suggestion to have a clear cut set of time & price based rules that you look for. Basically remove as much on the spot decision making as you can out of the process. Then execute your model like a computer would execute a line of code: if this then that. My logic is that I am attempting to make more decisions than my brain can handle before exhaustion which leads to bad decisions.@@ExploreFreedomTv

Outstanding information! Both regarding the journey to profitability and the Unicorn model specifically. The daily, one hour, 5 minute breakdown was priceless!

[@Whistleswein]

Unicorn entry has been the best for a long time. Today alone on NQ was a thing of beauty

[@jaywhoisit4863]

It’s hit and miss with the Unicorn. It’s so obvious and easy to see that I somehow think the algo knows we are all there and fakes us out.

[@Ilyas72629]

They do manipulate you if you see a -unicorn below equal highs or DOL of that time. And you trade that model. It’s gon hit your SL. You gotta have a context then it itself is the algo

[@TTrades_edu]

It's my pleasure

[@rohitandley]

During my early days in 2022, I had refined my strategy to breaker model and propulsion block through ICT's core content. After seeing 2 of your videos on it, I found out that an FVG created using displacement was important. Then from Matt, I learned about FVG aligned with the highest up closed candle before the leg down that takes the liquidity in bullish conditions (vice-versa for bearish conditions). This was the real gamechanger along with Timeframe alignment. ICT is right. This model is a model in itself. Very thankful to both of you and ICT 👍👍

[@reggiejones1390]

Thank you TT. These types of videos are very helpful. Slow explanation on the charts and the identification of the ICT concepts helps to recognize what to look for.

[@JigJag70]

Thanks Ash! You have an easy voice to listen to! Great info for this model that we have seen over and over and need to believe it! I now believe in this and I’m not far away from passing second stage of a prop firm challenge. However, I realize I am guilty of not trusting the process and have been losing out due to moving my SL. If f I hadn’t have done this I would be through already with three trades.

I took three trades today 2 loose and one win. All longs. My Bias was long which was correct but my first two entries was before market open. Not going to do that again. I forced the setup and had two losers in a row for $200 each but the saving grace is using Risk management.

thank you for this video, its very important for someone like me who has been learning for 4+ years without finding constant profitability yet. I have a question - Ash talks about the breaker being strongest at the opening price (after taking out liquidity). is there another hour in the day when this accurses or is it only opening price time ? thank you!

Thanks for this video. Ash was very generous to share his history and navigation to consistently profitable trading. If I were to critique anything, it seemed drawn out at times, but I listened to everything he had to say. I really appreciated the practical side of the video in the last section - some lights went on as he walked us through both bearish and bullish positions using his model. ICT fits for some people, and I am hungry to define my own model, so this content helps a great deal.

[@MartyBird_70]

Very nice content. Beeing more mechanical will help me a lot. I also note this is actually similar with the order block (the breaker becomes the OB), if you put a standard deviation on it with 2 to 2.5 TP, the stop below the breaker is a good location. Will backtest it! Breakers happen on many timeframes and scales, it's one of my latest discoveries to make good /better use of them in the ICT models. So this comes handy. Thank you TT and Ash!

[@BonoloMatchona]

Can you please do a video on ITH and STH's I'm struggling to understand that concept

[@AdamThao92]

I love the idea setting your take profit and stop loss targets. The only draw back is that for most prop firm traders, they unfortunately have a trailing drawdown which really destroys the psychology as well. Great job on the video!

[@essendavis]

You can increase your winnings by taking that great entry and making your exit like a turtle trader. If my entry is in 5 min. The center of donchian at 5 min I trail stop. It is way further back than your original stop so it takes a while in profit well past 2r to move it forward. But if you Take that BB and measure out 4 standard deviations and put your take profit there, then manually trail by the 5min donchian. Days that you expect to move you can go 5 or even 10 r. You will end up a lot of times with runners that run and return back to 2 r or go real far and come back to donchain and knock you out at 5r. But many big runners that make it worth it. If you are as unemotional as you say, when it retraces back, you can add once 1/2 again of your position pyramiding in as long as the position of your stop loss and the new break even from that add doesn’t add to your original risk.

[@essendavis]

Ict pyramids in aggressively on retracements but does so only on the proper side of premium/discount of the daily range. He then scales out at each target pd array on the other side. Allowing the whole position to run really far even to daily close time and price to retrace deep and be only invalidated by a close on the other side of trailing 5 min donchian or coming back to your 2r line would allow a way for you to increase your profits without increasing your risk. Same with adding pyramiding, when done right in small increments with OTE entries on 50 percent fib or fvg on your already open position, it increases profit without ever putting more at risk than your original risk, (I like to miss the first one and pyramid the second to be able to have my stop lock in my 2r because it also counts 1.5 -2 more going backwards once you pyramid.
