He turned $10k into $1.1M in just 12 months…

As ICT’s mentor, he's held the Robbin's Cup World Record for over 37 years.

Now that we know ICT can't beat his record…

Here's the story of the trading king 👇 Image
This man’s name is Larry Williams.

Before we get started on his story, here’s a “dirty secret” from the man himself:

(Read to the end to see how he turned $10k into $1.1M)
1) Early Story

In 1962, Larry was studying at the University of Oregon with a degree in journalism.

“I took an economics class and walked out after one day, it made no sense to me.”

Ironically he hated economics, but then he found trading…
2) Old Trading

Trading Commodities used to be extremely difficult…

Larry Williams said nobody had risk management and it was all “Kamikaze Cowboy Trading”.

Then he learned about “smart money”...
3) Trading With Smart Money

Larry explains how smart money will buy as price goes down.

He says not to enter “right away” when big players are buying in…

Wait for the trend to change, THEN look for a buy signal.
4) Larry’s Mentor

Larry learned many lessons from a humble trader who lived a “hermit lifestyle”.

He took Larry under his wing, taught him his theories, and most importantly gave him encouragement.
Then Larry dove into “relative strength” theory…
5) Larry’s Strategy

“Relative Strength” theory involves buying stocks that have shown to be strong over a period of time…

“Whatever stock has been the strongest in the last year, will most likely be the strongest in the next 6 months.”

Here’s why anyone can trade:
6) Street Smarts > Book Smarts

“Trading has nothing to do with being smart.”

Many traders dive too deep and study too much, Larry explains that at some point you become your own enemy...

Here’s what he looks for when bullish:
7) When to Buy

“Strong stocks get stronger.”

Larry says many traders make the mistake of “buying low and selling high”

He’s lost a lot of money trying to pick bottoms, and believes that “strength prevails”.
8) Turning $10k into $1.1M

“That was the worst year of my life.”

Larry actually turned the $10k into $2M, then lost a million…

He risked 30% of his equity on every single trade, and it took tremendous focus, discipline, and a bit of luck.
9) Passive Income

Everyone knows that you can automate trading returns,

But no one has done it correctly…

I’ve traded with volume for 7 years

Lost $15k the first 2 years because I was taught how to read volume WRONG

Learning volume the right way was the #1 reason I become a full-time trader Image
Here’s how to use volume as a CHEAT CODE in your trading:🧵You were probably taught the following

1. Price rallies up on strong volume

2. You wait for a pull back on low volume

3. Then buy for a push higher

This is WRONG 👇🏻 Image
You don't need to even believe me

Take a look at your charts

What do you notice? Image

I grew my account 1% a day for a month:

- 38 total trades
- 100% win rate (zero losses)
- Made $4,215 on a $20k account (20% growth)

Here's the ONE A+ setup I used to do it: 🧵
(with proof) Image
Before I get started, 2 things:

1. MORE proof with broker statements is at the end of this thread (attaching start/finish day here)
2. This is NOT realistic --> you can't just copy me and get 100% win rate

Bookmark the post above so you can come back to it and let's dive in 👇🏻 Image

I had a list of specific rules for this account which is why it was so successful

I'll get into that towards the end but for now, let's talk setup

Trading is about mastering ONE setup

And I'm giving you the one that turned me into a profitable trader FREE...

Take 2 mins out of your day to learn my EXACT setup:🧵 Image
This setup is involves a few elements but is mainly comprised of the idea "change in trend"

I'm simply waiting for confirmation of a trend change and then taking advantage of it

Here's the breakdown:
First, I need to identify trend.

This step is simple. Is price making higher highs? Higher lows? Image

I've mentored 900+ traders one on one

The most common mistake almost ALL of them made was looking at the wrong time frames

And they don’t even realize it was causing them to lose money trading

Here’s a 2 step strategy to know which time frames to look at: 🧵 Image
The issue with timeframe is that when I say go from a "lower timeframe" to a "higher timeframe"

I'm not talking about candle stick charts

Because going from 15min (left) to 30min (right), you see the same frame of price action Image
Meaning the candles don't look the same...

But you still see price looks the same

As a trader, this doesn't help us out with anything

Here's how I view timeframe👇🏻

INSIGHTS OF BEING A 7 YEAR FULL-TIME TRADER

4 Lessons that can only be learned, not taught: 🧵 Image
1. Emotional attachment is gone, but not 100%

I find that most times, my ending day P/L has zero effect on the rest of my days emotions.

This took a long time to come to fruition.

It can’t be rushed.

Only with practice and experience can this actually happen.
There’s no “hack” to get rid of it.

Some days it does affect me and instead of trying to let it go, I’ll just accept it.
