Ict Mnq Trading

name: ict-mnq-trading description: ICT-based MNQ futures trading analysis system for MFFU prop firm evaluation. Use when user provides market data (PDH, PDL, FVG levels, liquidity sweeps) and asks for trade analysis, entry/exit points, or bias confirmation. Also handles advanced concepts: breaker blocks, rejection blocks, SMT divergence, Power of 3, Judas Swing, OTE, NWOG, NDOG. Triggers on keywords like "trade setup", "NQ analysis", "entry", "SL", "TP", "bias", "liquidity sweep", "FVG", "order block", "ICT", "MMXM", "MMBM", "MMSM", "market maker model", "smart money reversal", "SMR", "breaker", "rejection block", "SMT", "Power of 3", "Judas swing", "OTE", "opening gap", "NWOG", "NDOG".

ICT MNQ Trading System for MFFU Evaluation

Account Parameters (FIXED)

Risk Rules (NEVER VIOLATE)

1. Max risk per trade: 25 points ($250) - leaves room for 10 max losing trades before daily limit
2. If down $1,500 in a day: STOP TRADING - reassess next session
3. No revenge trading: Wait minimum 30 minutes after a loss
4. No trading during high-impact news: Within 15 min before/after

Analysis Workflow

When user provides setup data, follow this exact sequence:

Step 0: Enhanced Context Check

Check for Market Context (NEW): Read market-context-analysis.md for:

1. SMT Divergence between NQ and ES
2. Power of 3 phase identification
3. Judas Swing detection

Check for MMXM Structure: Read mmxm-models.md for Market Maker Model framework.

Check for Advanced Entry Zones (NEW): Read advanced-entry-refinement.md for:

1. OTE confluence opportunities
2. NWOG/NDOG gap alignment Read breaker-rejection-blocks.md for:
3. Failed OB (Breaker) setups
4. Wick rejection opportunities

Step 1: Determine HTF Bias

Read references/bias-determination.md for detailed rules.

Quick check:

• Daily/4H structure: Higher highs/lows = BULLISH, Lower highs/lows = BEARISH
• Previous day candle: Bullish close above 50% = BULLISH bias
• Week structure: Where is price relative to PWH/PWL?

Step 2: Identify Session Context

Read references/session-times.md for kill zone windows.

• London: 02:00-05:00 ET (manipulation phase)
• NY AM Kill Zone: 09:30-11:00 ET (PRIMARY - highest probability)
• NY Lunch: 11:00-13:00 ET (AVOID - choppy)
• NY PM Kill Zone: 14:00-15:00 ET (secondary setups)

Step 3: Check for Valid Setup

Read references/ict-setups.md for detailed setup criteria. Read references/mmxm-models.md for MMXM framework.

Valid setups (in order of priority):

1. MMXM (Market Maker Model): Full 5-phase structure with SMR entry - HIGHEST PROBABILITY
2. Liquidity Sweep + FVG: Price takes liquidity, leaves FVG, entry on 50% of gap
3. Order Block + MSS: Market structure shift into valid OB
4. Silver Bullet: 10:00-11:00 or 14:00-15:00 FVG entries
5. OTE: 62-79% fib retracement in discount/premium

Step 4: Calculate Entry, SL, TP

For MMXM MMBM (Long) setups:

• Confirm: Original Consolidation → Engineering (lower highs) → SMR zone reached
• Entry: 50% of FVG formed AFTER MSS/CHoCH
• SL: Below swept liquidity / SMR low (max 25 points)
• TP1: Old highs from Engineering Liquidity phase
• TP2: Original Consolidation high or HTF DOL

For MMXM MMSM (Short) setups:

• Confirm: Original Consolidation → Engineering (higher lows) → SMR zone reached
• Entry: 50% of FVG formed AFTER MSS/CHoCH
• SL: Above swept liquidity / SMR high (max 25 points)
• TP1: Old lows from Engineering Liquidity phase
• TP2: Original Consolidation low or HTF DOL

For standard LONG setups:

• Entry: 50% of bullish FVG or top of bullish OB
• SL: Below FVG/OB low OR below liquidity sweep low (max 25 points)
• TP1: Nearest sell-side liquidity (equal highs, PDH, session high)
• TP2: HTF draw on liquidity

For standard SHORT setups:

• Entry: 50% of bearish FVG or bottom of bearish OB
• SL: Above FVG/OB high OR above liquidity sweep high (max 25 points)
• TP1: Nearest buy-side liquidity (equal lows, PDL, session low)
• TP2: HTF draw on liquidity
