HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN ICT TRADING MODEL 🧵
ICT teaches retail traders to think like institutions (“smart money”).
Instead of chasing indicators, ICT focuses on how banks and hedge funds manipulate price to grab liquidity, then move the market efficiently.
The real edge comes when you stop trying to be ICT and use his concepts and teachings as a blueprint to build your own personalized trading model.
Take ownership for your work and you will prosper!

Core ICT Concepts You Must Know
Market Structure: Higher highs/high lows = uptrend. Lower highs/low lows = downtrend. A Break of Structure (BOS) signals trend change.
Order Blocks (OB): Last opposing candle before a strong move — institutional order flow.
Fair Value Gaps (FVG): Imbalances left by fast price moves; price often returns to fill them.
Liquidity Grabs & Inducements: Fakeouts that sweep stops before reversing.
Premium vs. Discount of a specific range
Kill Zones + Macro times: High-probability times (London open, NY open).

Step 1: Define Your Rules
Pick 2–3 stocks/indices you'd want to lock in on for a specific day (for example: $SPY, $TSLA, $NQ)
Timeframes: Higher TF for bias (H4/D1), lower for entry (M5/M15)
Risk: Identify trades in advance to understand risk prior to entry.
Daily goal: Trade must meet HTF draw and setup on lower time frames

During the opening of an anti-extremism center in Saudi Arabia in 2017, they held a glowing orb with the Earth's continents in black for more than two minutes.

This specific painting, titled 'Glorification of the Eucharist,' is located in the Church of St. Peter in Perugia, Italy, and dates back to the 16th century.
The Eucharist represents the body and blood of Christ, consecrated during the liturgy to commemorate Jesus' Last Supper and his sacrifice for humanity. In this painting, we see two orbs: one in heaven, associated with the Holy Trinity—the Son (Jesus), the Father, and the Holy Spirit (depicted as a dove)—and one on earth, which is a glowing orb.
The glowing orb symbolizes the body of Christ, as it represents His transcendence and transformation into the Tibetan Rainbow Body, or a body made of pure energy, often referred to as the plasma body. This profound symbolism is why the painting is titled 'Glorification of the Eucharist.' (3/12)🧵

I think we're going through the equivalent of Jesus' Harrowing of Hell until around July 22, which is 144 days from the start of this war. I put up an explanation at TS, but it's a bit too autistic for most to take.
More or less it's an interpolation of the time between when Jesus was silent before Pilate until the time he cried "My Lord, My Lord, why has Thou forsaken me?" in Scripture, which is how most of us felt when Trump helped "Israel" attack Iran.

WH official responds to Axios report that he told Republicans to stop mentioning “mass deportations”.
This won’t go over well with the MAGA base considering mass deportations was core a campaign promise.
It was never sold as just targeting violent criminal aliens for deportation.
That would be no different than Biden policy.

This appears to be a change in messaging rather than policy.
MORE: Statement to @FoxNews via WH official @ATJackson47:
“Nobody is changing the Administration’s immigration enforcement agenda. President Trump’s highest priority has always been the deportation of illegal alien criminals who endanger American communities. As the Department of Homeland Security has repeatedly said, approximately 70% of deportations to date have been illegal aliens with criminal records. Thanks to President Trump’s strong immigration enforcement policies, approximately 3 million illegals have left the United States, either through forced deportation or self-deportation, with zero illegals coming through the most secure border in U.S. History for nine straight months.”

Conservatives + Republicans: OVERSTAND. These "demands" read like a far left Socialist manifesto ripped straight from the DSA's official platform.

The Socialist Democrats are compromising national security and public safety to protect illegals.
That's not good governance (it's actually not any form of governance at all, good or bad), it's activism.
Political ACTIVISM.

Is Iran really losing its drone capacity? A closer look at how the US is measuring "degradation," and why the Shahed question deserves more scrutiny. A 🧵.
2/ At today's briefing, Hegseth cited "83% drone degradation" and "90% missile degradation." Impressive numbers. But how are they actually being measured? The answer should make you pause.
3/ Hegseth's own words reveal the logic: "the numbers staying that low is a demonstration of efficacy." Translation: Iran isn't launching much, so Iran must be degraded. But "not launching'"and "can't launch" are two very different things.
🚨EXCLUSIVE REPORT: Collin County, Texas.
🚨Commissioner Candidate Shelby Williams Financially Linked to Democrat Voter Who Infiltrated GOP and Dressed as a “Jewish Nazi” While Mocking Critics of Islam
Bear with me - this story gets weirder as it continues…
At the center of this article is Collin County Commissioner Precinct 4 candidate Shelby Williams, whose campaign is financially and publicly supported by a controversial figure who has been openly hostile toward conservatives and critics of Islam.
That man is Dr. Matt Rostami, MD.
Rostami voted Democrat in the 2020 primaries and later ran for Mayor of McKinney, Texas. Fortunately, he lost. But losing that race did not stop him from inserting himself into Republican political circles in Collin County.
According to my sources, Rostami heavily backed Islamist Mark Newgent, who attempted to primary Congressman Keith Self.
The Republican Party—which already appears to struggle with vetting candidates—has also allowed Rostami to slip into precinct chair conventions and elect himself as a delegate. Rostami himself appeared confused about the process. After filming himself leaving the convention, he told his audience he was headed to the “senate delegate convention (?), then state.”
But the bigger question for Collin County voters is not Rostami’s behavior.
It’s why Shelby Williams is associated with him at all.
Shelby Williams, who is running for Collin County Commissioner Precinct 4, has openly supported Matt Rostami after he reportedly began spending time at the East Plano Islamic Center (EPIC) Mosque.
Public records show direct financial ties between Rostami and the Shelby Williams campaign.
Documents show monetary political contributions made to Shelby Williams from Matt Rostami for $1,040.30 on January 21, 2026, and another contribution of $108.55 in October.
Social media also shows Matt Rostami publicly promoting Shelby Williams, showing off his Shelby Williams campaign shirt and being named as a “silver sponsor” for a Shelby Williams campaign event.
In other words, Rostami is not just a random supporter. He is a financial backer and promoter of Shelby Williams’ campaign.
That raises serious questions about judgment, vetting, and the type of people Shelby Williams is comfortable aligning herself with politically.
Because Rostami’s public behavior should alarm any conservative voter.
As recently as 2025, Rostami posted on social media mocking those who criticize Zohran Mamdani, the far-left socialist New York mayoral candidate.
He has also openly harassed women online who criticize the spread of political Islam in Texas, including calling activist Kaylee Campbell a “b*tch” on social media for exposing concerns about Islam in Texas.
And that is the person financially supporting Shelby Williams’ campaign.
All of this should make the Republican Party pause in Collin County.
Why isn’t the party vetting the people surrounding their candidates?
Why is a Republican commissioner candidate accepting financial support and promotion from someone with this record?
And how exactly does this represent conservative voters?
And don’t think this is only a local-level problem—it isn’t.
Governor Greg Abbott has endorsed Shelby Williams.
Which raises an even bigger question:
What on earth is going on in Texas?

In a very odd video Matt Rostami recently posted, he seems confused regarding how the process works for delegates. Says he now goes to “Senate convention”.

Q&A w/ House Whip Tom Emmer.
Me: What do you think of the comment 'Muslims don't belong in American society'?
Emmer: People who refuse to assimilate and follow a radical ideology that seeks to commit violence and terrorist acts have no business being in this country.
Me: Sure. I'm asking about Muslims, though.
Emmer: Again, people who commit terrorist acts and are committed to a radical ideology who have come to this country and refuse to assimilate and rip off the generosity of American citizens – they don't belong here.
Me: I don't want to conflate your words or misconstrue them. Are you saying that Muslims are that kind of person?
Emmer: I think I made it clear.
Desjardins: No … Are you saying that Muslim Americans (crosstalk) are violent?
Emmer: I'm going to say anybody who fits this, anybody who comes to this country, and hides behind a radical ideology refusing to assimilate to American values and takes advantage of the American citizen. I mean, I filed a scam act.
Me: Do you think any Muslims belong in American society?
Emmer: Again, people who come to this country and refuse to assimilate and are practicing…
Me (could not let it go): But I’m asking about Muslims. My description doesn't fit your description. I'm talking about Muslims.
Emmer: I think Muhammad Ali, I think we’ve got Ahmad Rashad. I think we've got plenty of examples of good people that have been in this country.

But because this is so counterintuitive and grossly unorthodox to established democracies, few even have the required mental framing to recognize it.
This is the mindset of most Albertans. Stunned shock, disbelief & confusion.

@criticalkush1 @SH37363543 1/12 - That's deliberately false. I have written this below to demonstrate to other readers just how much disinformation in contained in your tweets. However, you have already admitted to working for the establishment in an intel capacity and in the military, so no surprises.
@SH37363543 2/12 - There were scriptural texts from 1500 BC, but no “bible itself” existed in 5th or 6th century BC. The ‘Nimrod’ referred to in both original scriptures and biblical codices is referenced as living circa 3000 BC, and not “5th or 6th century BC”.
@SH37363543 3/12 - The septuagint (LXX, c. 300 BC) names Nimrod as “Nebrod” (Νεβρώδ).
