Recently I’ve started work on something that I believe will help everyone.
Nowadays, you are fortunate enough to learn how to trade from zero to having the life of your dreams. There is so much information out there on how to trade that you literally have no excuse. A couple years ago, all you had was a couple of youtube videos; and of course, ICT. I started learning in the middle; where there is just enough information but not enough; and not in a structured way. Most of the time you had to pay to get access to these tutorials/courses which isn’t wrong; however not everyone can afford these things.
I am blessed enough to say that trading has gotten me the life that I want, actually even more than what I was expecting. And a huge chunk of it is thanks to my two mentors in this space: @GxTradez and @_amtrades. But regardless, I have made it my life’s goal to help as much people as possible become profitable, change their lives, and become the best version of themselves. Whether you can afford it or not. All I ask is your commitment.
I will be dropping a full course, for FREE on youtube, in a very structured way. I have put the gears into motion a couple of weeks ago and started work. Should be done by Q4.
As long as I can help even just one person learn from this, and help them become profitable, that is enough fulfillment for me. I am blessed. I have enough, now it’s time I give back.
Unfortunately I was not given the opportunity to share this message earlier, but I suppose everything has its own timing. Everything changes going forward. I’m always a trader and an educator first.
see you soon.

CRT is simple logic.
It helps you understand the things that actually matter:
• Order Flow
• DOL (Draw on Liquidity)
• Ranges
• Key Levels
This short CRT video breaks it down in a simple way and will help you see the market differently.
Watch it. Study it. Apply it.
Every strategy works. Your job is to understand when and how to use it.
Stop jumping from one strategy to another every time you face a loss. You’re only slowing down your progress.
Master one strategy.
Most people study entries. Almost nobody studies the two phases every entry lives inside.
Reversals: How price turns at a level.
Continuations: How price travels once it has.
I wrote a full study booklet on each. Both are below.
Read them in order, and the framework starts to click. 🧵
As promised, here is the exact framework I used while scaling to $6.9M in prop firm capital to determine whether a trading strategy is actually robust.
Most traders judge a strategy based on a few winning trades.
Instead, I focused on collecting enough data to clearly understand how the strategy behaves across both profitable and difficult market phases.
The process is simple:
• collect a statistically meaningful trade sample
• analyze the key performance metrics
• understand how the strategy behaves during losing streaks
• structure risk based on those findings
To properly evaluate a strategy, you need enough data to understand its long-term characteristics.
The key metrics I focus on:
• Backtesting: 500+ trades to understand behavior across different market environments
• Win rate: ideally around 60% ±, which also provides a strong psychological advantage
• Risk-to-reward: ideally in the 2–3 range
• Maximum consecutive losses: essential for risk structuring and trade positioning
Risk management should always be aligned with the strategy’s statistical behavior.
My general framework:
• If max consecutive losses are around 4–5 trades, 1% risk per trade can be reasonable in prop challenges
• If the strategy historically shows 10+ consecutive losses, reducing risk to around 0.75% is the more sustainable approach
I attached a PDF showing exactly how to identify the key data points of your strategy and which metrics actually matter for long-term profitability.
I hope this can help some of you build more robust strategies.
