The strategy in one screen
Frame the London session first: the Asia high and low, nearby equal highs/lows and the 1H fair value gaps. A daily bias is optional.
Her main model is Turtle Soup: wait for price to sweep liquidity at the edge of the range, then for a candle body to close through the FVG so it becomes an IFVG. A wick doesn't count. The ICT 2022 model and other setups don't always need the sweep, and SMT is confluence only.
Enter on 1m, 30s or 15s. Use a stop of about 12 NQ points and pass if it needs more than 20. Target the nearby liquidity at 1:2 or better.
Trade 2–5 a.m. ET, skip CPI, cut size in NFP week, and don't force a trade when there's no setup.
She describes a low-win-rate, high-reward style: "my average win rate is 40 to 45%". She also says she made a million-dollar payout at a 47% win rate. These are her own numbers and haven't been verified. 0520@01:05:281216@01:03:10
Learning path
Her order is "learn, then backtest, then demo, journal the demo, then the real account", and she says people skip the middle. 0403@00:27:38 Do each phase as read → watch → drill on charts, and move on only when you pass its check.
01Ground rules she repeats
| Rule | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Don't force it | "I'm not taking a trade every London session." With no setup she just tape-reads. She admits it's harder on stream, where people complain either way. | 0422@00:05:050507@01:18:280106@00:17:35 |
| Context before pattern | "We don't enter every FVG. We have to know the context and the narrative." | 0829@00:41:560528@01:46:56 |
| Body close, not a wick | An FVG only counts as inverted when a candle body closes beyond it. | 0402@00:14:460611@00:13:24 |
| Customize, then test | "You have to customize it as your own strategy" for your lifestyle, personality and risk tolerance. Backtest, demo, then forward-test before changing anything. | 0423b@01:04:500421@00:52:350115@01:05:45 |
| Know what a loss costs | "At least 60% probability I'm going to lose on every trade," but with a standard stop she knows the cost in advance. | 0724@00:12:48 |
| Don't copy her | "If you copy me you will lose." Use her analysis as reference and size for your own account buffer. | 0924@00:20:110718@00:52:240902@00:17:45 |
| Don't chase | "Don't chase. Don't chase." A missed move is not a signal. | 0627@00:32:00 |
02Context, scan, enter
Higher timeframes give context. Execution happens on very low timeframes. 0422@01:55:58
03The 3-step process
Reconstructed from her walkthroughs, such as a textbook long with SMT, a higher-timeframe bullish PD array and displacement. 0509@00:07:280509@00:08:49
Map the range
Mark the Asia high/low, equal highs/lows and 1H FVGs. Note whether Asia ranged or expanded, and whether price is in premium or discount.
Sweep + body close
Liquidity at the edge of the range is taken. Then a candle body closes through the FVG, turning it into an IFVG. 0506@01:26:10
Execute
Enter on the retest with a stop of about 12 points. Target the opposite side of the range at 1:2 or better, or skip. 0729@00:25:10
04Liquidity & levels
"I usually trade from external liquidity to internal liquidity." London is the manipulation session, so she trades reversals from outside the Asia range. The same approach doesn't carry over to NY unchanged. 0728@01:07:17
Liquidity she marks
- Asia high/low: the London targets and sweep points. 0331@00:11:05
- Relative equal highs/lows on either side of the range. 0414@01:26:24
- External vs internal: is price at a range extreme or inside it? This decides premium vs discount and the direction of the trade. 0528@01:46:56
- Data high/low after news, used "a lot" as liquidity. 0402@01:37:20
| Level | How she uses it | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| 1H FVG | Always marked; the higher-timeframe array with "the most important effect". | 0331@00:09:48 |
| IFVG | Her entry confirmation. A candle body has to close beyond the FVG. With a large range she sometimes can't wait for the close, and she treats that as a deviation. | 0402@00:14:460611@00:13:240331@00:25:18 |
| PD arrays | Her umbrella term for FVGs, order blocks and similar levels, read with premium/discount. | 0509@00:08:490528@01:46:56 |
| RTH opening gap | A reference and target in NY. For partials: 25%, 50% and 75% of the gap. Very large gaps may not fill. | 0416@00:53:380630b@00:09:40 |
| SMT (NQ vs ES) | "I won't use SMT as confirmation signal. I only use it as one of the confluences." "Don't trust only SMT." | 0507@01:23:580910@01:04:440922b@00:38:39 |
| Breakers | She says she isn't good at spotting them and doesn't rely on them. | 0416@00:44:56 |
05Models
Turtle Soup
Sweep-based reversal at the top or bottom of the range. "80% Turtle Soup and 20% ICT 2022." 0530@02:01:05
ICT 2022
Market structure shift and displacement. Used less since she moved to futures, because the MSS needs a larger stop. 0407@01:29:300922b@00:38:39
Silver Bullet
Named among her models early on; by Sep 2025 "I no longer trade Silver Bullet anymore." 0403@00:25:530922a@00:06:03
Why Turtle Soup: the 12-point stop
"Since I'm using a 12-point stop loss, [a mid-range entry] is not ideal for my trading model. That's why you always see me doing Turtle Soup." She used to trade the 2022 model but switched to protect capital with a tight stop. 0505@01:39:45 An entry at 50% of the range "is not Turtle Soup anymore". It's safer but needs a much larger stop. 0506@01:26:10
Does every trade need a sweep?
- Viewers quote "no sweep, no trade" back to her, and it matches her Turtle Soup. 0723@00:29:24
- But she has also said: "My model is 2022 and Turtle Soup, but when I enter this trade I don't need a liquidity sweep." She reads the wider context instead. 0618@01:11:05
- At all-time highs: "for my model I will [wait for a sweep], but for this day with all-time high I think it's not necessary." 0630@00:09:40
Early entries
She sometimes enters before the body close. She calls this a bad fill and a deviation from "the official model", not a rule. 0522@01:21:020716@00:46:36
06Stops, targets, management
Stop
- 12 points standard on NQ in London, 15–18 in NY, "definitely less than 20". "If it's more than 20 points, I'm not taking that trade." 0729@00:25:10
- Early on: 12–15 points on NQ in prop accounts. MNQ with a wider stop only on her personal account. 0331@00:36:54
Targets
- Asia high/low in London; she closed a textbook long above the Asia high. 0331@00:11:050509@00:08:49
- At least 1:2. With a 40–45% win rate she needs it for positive expectancy and skips 1:1.4 setups. 0522@01:02:230115@00:58:13
Partials and break-even
- Her advice: "Don't listen to those who tell you don't take partials. Take it and pay the bills. I don't take it; it's my personal choice." 0422@01:20:280416@00:17:50
- Whether to take partials depends on the account buffer. A new 50K account should take partials and close earlier. 0902@00:17:45
- "Move stop to break-even and take partials. Preserving capital is the first rule of trading." 0630@01:53:10
- She is also wary of a break-even that comes too early: "It looks like I'm not giving any room for the trade." 0916@02:08:150423@00:26:40

08When she stays out
| Filter | Detail | Sources |
|---|---|---|
| Off Before 2 a.m. ET | "I'm not allowed to take any trades before 2:00 a.m. It's my rule for myself." | 0901@00:06:46 |
| Care After 4 a.m. ET | The London kill zone is 2–5 ET. No new entries after 4; she can hold an open trade to 5. | 0604@00:56:200716@02:24:03 |
| Off CPI | Tier-one news: no trade on funded or personal accounts. | 0410@00:08:00 |
| Care NFP week | Reduced size and one contract. No trades after Wednesday NY AM, unless it's an eval or paper trading. | 0604@00:06:160506@00:05:47 |
| Care Right after news | Wait at least 2 minutes; 5 is safe. | 0402@01:37:20 |
| Care After Asia expansion | After a huge move she wants consolidation before going long or short. | 0515@00:13:14 |
| Off R:R under 1:2 | Skip even if it looks like a good opportunity. | 0522@01:02:23 |
| Off Bored or pressured | "Don't take any trade because of boredom." Stream pressure is her named weak spot. | 0922a@00:37:220507@01:18:28 |
Instrument: NQ, with ES for SMT. She doesn't use YM. 0115@01:04:35
09Routine
- Before London: mark the 1H FVGs and session levels. Hide the markings when checking higher timeframes so the chart stays clean. 0331@00:09:480402@01:57:15
- From 2 a.m. ET: watch the Asia range edges for a sweep, then wait for the body close on 1m or seconds charts.
- No setup? Tape-read and stay out. 0106@00:17:35
- Journal and forward-test the same strategy every day. Backtest, demo and forward-test before adjusting it. 0416b@01:42:100421@00:52:35
- After a losing streak: take a few days off and do something unrelated to trading to reset. 0422@01:23:00

11Gaps & contradictions
- No canonical rule set: no single lesson defines each model's entry rules, and model names and conditions change over time.
- The sweep: central to Turtle Soup, yet she also takes trades without one. 0618@01:11:05
- Partials: she tells viewers to take them but often doesn't herself. 0422@01:20:28
- Stops and R:R: 12 points is standard, but examples range from 7 to 30 points. 0916@02:08:150618@01:03:50
- Win-rate claims (40–45%, 46–47%, 60% losers) are self-reported, with no disclosed sample. Titles with large P&L figures are not reconciled with the trade shown.
- Acknowledged mistakes: FOMO, boredom, early entries and revenge trades appear on stream. She calls them mistakes, not rules.
- Four uploads had no captions: PeQofS4Ki2E, JAu5Cul3_rY, v81hn0YyPdg, E7aViDfDMOQ.
