Sep 19, 2026

Uploaded by Aria

Inside the Circle - Trade Model 1 explains an intraday trade framework built around intraday reversals (liquidity grabs and orderflow concepts within the MMXM approach) for day trading and scalping across multiple markets. It guides traders on what to trade (FX pairs using EUR/USD and USD/related examples, plus crypto like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, and indices such as NQ/ES), how to prepare using a weekly economic calendar, and how to plan execution through specific timeframe rules and killzone sessions. It emphasizes backtesting and risk discipline, avoiding trading paralysis and holding no overnight positions.

Introduction This trade model contains all of the content taught to you In Module 1*IF YOU HAVENTREAD IT YET PLEASE GO DO IT IT WILL CAUSE A LOT OF CONFUSION FOR YOU IF YOURE NEW IF YOU HAVE CONTINUE* & The ICT 2022 Mentorship. This model is what the majority of twitter uses with some changes and additions. It’s a great starting point for all of you and is enough to trade as the man himself Michael says. This is MY take on it and how you could use it to backtest, study and master the concepts taught to you. The model is based on intraday REVERSALS(LIQ GRAB+SMR part of MMXM) and meant for Daytrading & Scalping and is aplicable to all markets. I advise you to backtest it on anything you find, don’t only stick to one fx pair or one Cryptocurrency try everything outlook at different scenarios unfold etc. The model can be adapted for long term trading styles but I as a daytrader refuse to hold any trade over night no matter where im sure it will go. Please backtest these concepts before putting any real money into them. This is not financial advice, if it doesn’t work for you it doesn’t work for you there will be many more to come. Don’t kill your bank account and throw away your life savings for something you read throug in 10 minutes. No trading Paralysis 2. Picking What To Trade You can’t Practice or Trade with the Model if you don’t know what to look at. You can trade Crypto , FX, Indices, Bonds, Stocks, Metals, Synthetics etc. If You still don’t know where to start here are some good markets and currencies to trade Crypto For crypto you want clean charts that don’t have choppy price movement and for that reason I recommend Bitcoin Ethereum Solana Forex Forex is in my opinion next to Indices the best market to trade. When picking FX pairs(FOR THIS MODEL EXCLUSIVELY) look for pairs that contain EUR or USD. You don’t want to see much movement in the Asian Range. EUR/USD GBP/USD USD/CHF AUD/USD AUD/EUR Are some of my favorite pairs to trade look which one works the best for you If these pairs don’t suit you you can find others comparing INTEREST RATES You want to match a country with a High Interest Rate vs Low Interest Rate & Low Interest Rate vs High Interest Rate For Example Euro {0.0%} vs USD {1.75%} Make sure the PA is clean and that the HTF is responsive to PD Arrays Indices Last market i recommend are Indices, similar to crypto with fast movements NQ ES 3. Calendar(Forex Factory) At the start of every trading week look at the Economic Calendar for MEDIUM & HIGH impact news events for the markets youre interested in to make sure youre not entering positions during FOMC, CPI, NFP & to give your positions a little push. Note these times on your charts, phone, notepad if you think youll forget about them. You can filter the events to the markets you watch so lets say you are only interested in USD Pairs; you can filter only USD related news events + the other Currency 4. Timeframes What to do in each timeframe 1W-Direction of the next 1W Candle, Mark out Previous Week High/Low 1D-PD Arrays, Daily structure, Liquidity targets, Premium/Discount, Daily bias, Orderflow 4H-Clearer image of the 1D PD Arrays, Structure, OTE pulls, Cleaner Orderflow 1H – OTE Pul

FAQs

What is the core idea behind Trade Model 1?

It focuses on intraday reversals, using liquidity grabs and related market-structure/orderflow concepts to support day trading and scalping setups.

Which markets and instruments does the model recommend?

It recommends clean crypto charts (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana), FX pairs containing EUR or USD (e.g., EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/CHF, AUD/USD, AUD/EUR), and indices with fast movement (NQ, ES).

How should traders handle timing and news using this model?

They should trade only during London or New York killzones, avoid Asia trading for execution (use its high/low for reversals), and consult the economic calendar for medium/high impact events like FOMC, CPI, and NFP to prevent entries during high-volatility periods.
