Simpli ed Micro Account Trading
Strategy (EUR/USD & XAU/USD)
Simpli ed Daily Checklist
1. Mark key session opens: London (8AM GMT) and New York (1PM GMT). (Mark open and
close of the previous day, thats your trading range for the next day )
2. Identify major liquidity zones on the Daily, 1H and 15-min timeframes on the charts
(equal highs/lows, previous day/session highs/lows).
3. Look for Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) after a market structure break.
4. Con irm entry only if price sweeps liquidity and returns to FVG zone.
5. Use the 5-min chart only to ine-tune entries — not for direction. (Be open for the 15
minutes chart too, sometimes price action is simpler and clearer)
6. Set small risk (0.5%–1%) and aim for 1:2 or 1:3 RR. (0.2% risk as a new trader, only
increase to 0.5% once you have a pro itable track record for 3 months)
7. Walk away after a clean win or loss — no overtrading. (De ine how many losses, for me 2
trade a day max)
8. Record your trade and thoughts for the day. (Be consistent with this, even days where you
dont trade, record why you didnt trade)
Strategy Summary
• Use 15-min or 1H to mark trend direction and major levels. (Use 1h and 4h for trend
direction , and 5 min and 15 min for entry, be open minded and you will see your strategy
will work better)
• Wait for price to sweep liquidity (run equal highs/lows). (Be ware of news, or sweeps
during choppy markets, they have to be high volume)
• Enter on return to Fair Value Gap (FVG) after structure break. (Only consider high volume
FVG during prime time sessions)
• Place stop-loss just outside recent high/low.
• Target the next liquidity area or imbalance zone.
• Use small lot sizes — priority is survival and consistency. (0.2% max risk, nothing above
this until 3 months pro itability )

• Avoid trading low-volume times (before 8AM GMT or after 5PM GMT). Good , make sure to
actually stick to this rule or you will loose your capital
Updated Visual Example
This updated diagram uses Daily to 1H & 15-min structure with a 5-min entry. It shows
liquidity sweep, Fair Value Gap (FVG), and a proper TP/SL setup.
Remember: Less is more. Trade fewer but cleaner setups and grow with consistency.
Additional notes:
Let me tell you the truth about trading that most people overcomplicate.
That screenshot I shared made me 20K.
And guess what
I didn’t trade Fair Value Gaps
I didn’t need ICT models or ifteen con irmations
I just followed the price

Here’s the real game
You make money when you get into a trend
And you don’t lose money when you avoid choppy markets
That’s it
Because you can ind patterns anywhere
You’ll see them in sideways markets, fakeouts, random candles — whatever
It’s like saying
I buy when the sky is blue, and sell when it’s cold
Cool story, but you’re not actually trading the weather
Same with charts
You’re not paid for spotting pretty patterns
You’re paid for catching real moves
So yeah, structure or FVG or whatever — use it only to ine-tune your entry
But don’t base your whole strategy on it
Trade the price
Follow the move
Sit out when it’s dead
That’s how I made 20K
And that’s how you survive and scale

I expect you to be pro itable for the next 3 months, I saved you years of trying to use ICT to
make money, hope it helps.
