Jarred’s help has been invaluable. Coming into this group, I wanted to switch from trading SMC concepts to trading Orderflow. Even though I eventually want to use both together, I first have to become consistently profitable with SMC alone. Otherwise, I’ll fall into the trap of strategy-hopping, wasting time, and digging a deeper hole of confusion. Trying to learn Orderflow while still having ICT concepts in the back of my head created analysis paralysis. I’ve been studying SMC for around 6 months and, while I can pass fundings, I blow them within 1–3 weeks of activation. This happens because I take poor setups, force trades, and lack a clear system. That lack of a system kills my trading. Without it, I can’t distinguish good trades from bad ones or filter the right conditions to be trading in. Jarred helped me realize that when I pass a funded challenge, I’m only taking A+ trades. But once I activate the account, I fall into the trap of chasing a payout, and I start forcing trades. This is where everything breaks down. I now understand that quality over quantity is how real progress is made. Less is more. If the trade is not obvious, I will skip it. Watching the chart without taking a trade is part of trading. Patience and being wrong are things I’ve always struggled with. I want results fast, but trading doesn’t work on my timeline. The market owes me nothing. Being wrong is part of the process. A trading edge plays out over time. I need to gather data, understand my system, and give it time to build a curve, not expect straight-line results. Each trade is independent from the last. I’ve been working on refining my system to clearly define what an A+, A, B, or C setup is. An A+ trade consists of: 1. Liquidity sweep of a previous session high/low or a higher timeframe PD Array 2. SMT - external is a must, internal is a bonus 3. A clear DOL that aligns with the trade idea 4. Stop run prior to the move or V-shaped displacement 5. Only then do I look for an entry model
