Become a Better Trader

RISK

  • Trading is relatively easy if you manage the risk. Think about the next 100 trades.
  • Always risk the same amount in each trade (e.g., 2%). One win can cover many losses.
  • Place your stop loss based on trade probability.
  • Higher probability trades can have larger position sizes and should be backed by strong fundamentals or equity research.

SET UP

  • Place your SL mindfully and never change it once set. Exit if price closes beyond it.
  • Keep your analysis objective. Avoid subjective bias.
  • More subjectivity = harder decisions = mental fatigue.
  • Use your capital wisely. Only trade “A” setups.
  • Enter the right zone without waiting for confirmation — confidence comes with practice.
  • Set layered targets (TP1, TP2, TP3). Big targets can lead to emotional exits.

PSYCHOLOGY

  • No FOMO. Be patient. Price revisits zones.
  • Be a follower, not a controller. Follow price action.
  • Buy when others sell, sell when others buy.
  • Ignore momentum hype. Focus on major levels and fundamentals.
  • Don't go all-in/all-out. Long-term equity curve should grow gradually.
  • Avoid staring at charts. It hurts emotional control.
  • Build confidence through consistent practice.
  • Don’t trade just because you did analysis. Only trade if criteria are met.

DO’s and DON’Ts

  • If no setup, don’t trade — even if the market looks bullish.
  • Enter only at good price levels. Never overpay.
  • Don’t turn a winning trade into a loss at breakeven.
  • Your #1 goal is to preserve capital — profits will follow.
  • Trust your analysis. Avoid outside influence (but stay aware).
  • Delete low-quality trades. Stay disciplined.
  • Journal trades, including wins, losses, and emotions.
  • Don’t over-analyze. Make mindful decisions and stick to them.
  • Say no to emotional, unnecessary trades. They cost money and peace.

Pips (Percentage in Points)

Calculation of Pips:

In GPBUSD,
We will take only 4 digits after decimal.
Before price: 1.3269
After Price: 1.3132

Once: 1*(9-2)=7
Tens: 10*(6-3)=3
Hundreds: 100*(2-1)=1

So, Pips= 137

Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm (IPDA)

Four Characteristics of Price

  1. Expansion (impulsive movement)
  2. Retracement (pullback)
  3. Reversal (shift in direction)
  4. Consolidation (sideways holding)
Price Delivery in Interbank Prie Delivery Algorithm (IPDA)
consolidation

Consolidation

  • Building Orders on both sides of the Market
  • To trap Retailers
  • It will happen If there is no volume and No Liquidity in the Market.

Time for consolidation: Asian Session 18:00-12:AM (Mid- Night)

Not Appliable in AUD, NZD, JPY Currency. (Asian Banks are Running)

Institutional order flow reference points:

  1. Order blocks
  2. Fair value gaps & liquidity voids
  3. Liquidity pools & stop runs
  4. Equilibrium

Objectives of Price

  1. Trading to Liquidity
  2. Trading to imbalance

Price Delivery Arrey

It’s a zone of market price from which the market price changes its characteristics.

Types of Price Delivery Arrey:

  • Order Block (OB)
  • Mitigation Block
  • Fair Value Gaps (FVGs)
  • Liquidity Void
  • Liquidity Pool

Order Block

It’s a zone in the price chart from which the market usually takes a reversal from this zone.

image diagram of an Order Block in ICT concept

Types of OB:

  1. Bullish Order Bolck (Red Candle) Generally.
  2. Bearish Order Block (Green Candle) Generally.

Characteristics of OB:

  1. Liquidity Grab.
  2. Impulsive Movement of Price after that candle.
  3. The body must be bigger than Wicks.

Notes: OB is often placed by large financial institutions.

Strong Order Block is those OB from which the price will not cross 50% of that candle, also known as the mean threshold of OB.

Mitigation Block

It occurs when the price returns to a previously manipulated or inefficient zone, often caused by an imbalance or liquidity grab (like stop-hunting).

These blocks can act as support or resistance zones and are often good areas for re-entry or reversal setups. It is a zone where we usually take exit from the market in Breakeven.


Two Types of Mitigation Blocks:

  1. Buy-side Mitigation Block (Swing High)
  2. Sell-side Mitigation Block (Swing Low)

How to Identify Mitigation Blocks?

Usually, it is formed with 3 candles on the swing high and swing low. 
The middle candle must have taken the upper price than the other 2 side candles in the Buy-Side Mitigation Block and vice versa.

Liquidity Pools

Liquidity pools are areas in a trading chart where many buy or sell orders are situated. Also, Stoploss of many traders are available here.

There are 2 types of Liquidity Pools:

  1. Structure Base
    – Equal High/Low
    – Range High/Low
  2. Time Base
    – Asian High/Low
    – Daily High/Low
    – Weekly High/Low

SMART-MONEY REVERSAL (TRADING PLAN) (1)

Trading Time & Time Frame

  1. Trading Time:
    • Winter Season (Nepal Time): 12:45 PM to 10:45 PM
    • Summer Season (Nepal Time): 11:45 AM to 9:45 PM
  2. Time Frames Used:
    • 1 Week (Weekly Chart): For higher timeframe analysis and bias confirmation.
    • 4 Hours (4H Chart): To identify PD Arrays and Premium/Discount levels.
    • 15 Minutes (15M Chart): For lower timeframe market reversal entries and exits.

Trading Process

  1. Higher Timeframe Analysis:
    • Confirm bias using the Weekly Chart in the direction of weekly expansion.
    • Trade on the expansion side of the market once confirmed.
  2. Mid-Level Timeframe Analysis (4H Chart):
    • Identify potential buying/selling zones within premium and discounted PD Arrays in the nearest range formed.
    • To be a potential buy or selling condition, price should be in one of the given levels:
      • Order Block
      • Mitigation
      • Fair Value Gap (FVG)
      • Liquidity Void
      • Liquidity Pools
  3. Lower Timeframe Entry (15M Chart):
    • Wait for price to enter anticipated levels and observe opposing liquidity grabs or order pairing to confirm smart money presence.
    • Key levels for order pairing:
      • Asian High/Low
      • Daily High/Low
      • Weekly High/Low
      • Range High/Low
      • Equal High/Low
  4. Market Structure Shift (MSS):
    • Look for a break of Intermediate Term High (ITH) or Intermediate Term Low (ITL) on the 15M chart.
    • Confirm displacement in price action with FVG or Liquidity Void.
  5. Entry and Exit:
    • Entry: Within the premium or discounted PD Array of the 15M MSS range.
    • Stop Loss: Must cover the high/low of the range.
    • Take Profit: Use a 1:3 Risk to Reward Ratio or target the nearest buy-side or sell-side liquidity.

Risk Management

  1. Counter and Continuation Trades:
    • Risk 0.5% of funded capital.
    • Risk 2-3% of personal account capital.
  2. Continuation Trades Only:
    • Risk 1% of funded capital.
    • Risk 2-3% of personal account capital.

Market Structure Shift(MSS)

First, confirm the running trend in the weekly time frame. Then go to the 4-hour time frame and follow the steps below.

Step 1: Liquidity Grab.

Step 2: Previous Structure Break (ITH/ITL)

Step 3: FVG in that Break.

Step 4: Enter in the middle of FVG. In a 15-minute time-frame.

SL= Swing High/Low of (ITH/ITL).

TP = 3 times of SL.

NOTES:
Trading Time Zone (NYC) 2 to 12
SL pips -> Less than 20
If 2 FVG -> Fib 50% Discount zone

Trading Checklist

ICT Buy Setup 01

ICT Buy and Sell Trading Plan (2)

You can use the trading step-up for both buying and selling. Now I am explaining it step by step for buying, you can do it vice-versa for selling.
Follow the steps below:

Step 1: Find a Sideways in the price trading chart.

Step 2: Let the price expand.

Step 3: Find the FVGs in that price expansion. Mark that FVGs.

Step 4: Use Fib Retracement from bottom to top. Then you will see the Discount price which is below 0.5. Now let that price come to that Discounted FVG zone.

Step 5: Now BUY in that FVG zone, then wait for price reversal.

Step 6: If the price reverses from that zone then you can sell at the high of that recent previous higher high.

Step 7: If the price goes down, hold up to the previous sideways lower low.

5-Minute Timeframe Trading Plan (3)

Time Zone: NYC 

  1. Mark Key Trading Hours:
    • Focus on the period from 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM.
  2. Identify the Breakout Zone:
    • Mark the high and low of the range from 12:00 AM to 8:30 AM.
    • Watch for a break of this range after 8:30 AM.
  3. Confirm CHoCH (Change of Character):
    • Look for a CHoCH within the 8:30 AM to 12:00 PM range.
  4. Find Gaps (Fair Value Gaps – FVG):
    • Identify any FVG above or below the CHoCH after a liquidity grab.
  5. Enter the Trade:
    • Place an entry in the FVG zone.
  6. Set Stop Loss (SL):
    • Set the SL at the last candle of the FVG zone.
  7. Define Take Profit (TP):
    • Target 1:2 or 1:3 risk-to-reward ratio for TP.

Forever Model

Step-by-step:

Step 1: Bias (Order Flow & Imbalance)
Step 2: Bigger time frame draw on liquidity – Liquidity sweep (Sell side or Buy Side)
Step 3: Reversal with displacement
Step 4: SMT for confirmation (Optional)
Step 5: Identify IFvG & CISD
Step 6: Entry at IFvG, CISD or FVG
Step 7: SL at Recent manipulated Swing (High/Low)
Step 8: TP at Opposing Liquidity Pool

Scalping Strategy (4)

Step-by-step:

  1. Higher Time Frame Trend= Up/Down
  2. Lower Time Frame Trend= Sideways
  3. Wait for Breakout Candle to enter = Pin Bar/Engulf
  4. Only take Trade if its breakout is similar to the Higher-time Frame Trend.
  • Risk Reward Ratio = 1:2 Ratio (Minimum)
  • Risk Management = 1% per Trade
  • Money Management = 50% Trade, 50% Backup.

Algo Trading

  1. Go to XAUUSD
  2. Go to 1 hour Time
  3. Find Consolidation Zone (UTC-4 NYC 18:00 to 00:00)
  4. Find Crossover after that.
  5. Entry in the crossover Position.
  6. Choose Lot Size 0.1
  7. Place SL in the lower of that 1 candle before the crossover Candle (Maximum Stoploss $60)
  8. Target is holding until another crossover.

NOTE: Trade up to Nepali Time 10 AM to 8 PM.

Introduction

Nepal is a country that’s growing and changing. It has a big economy for its size, with lots of people working on farms and services like shops and restaurants. But it’s not growing as fast as it could because of some problems like unstable government and corruption.

Investing money in Nepal is important. It can help the country get better by bringing in new ideas, skills, and ways of doing business. Nepal has been trying to make it easier for people from other countries to invest there. They want to use the new ideas and connections to sell things to other countries and grow their economy.

For people who want to invest, Nepal is a good place to look. It’s right between two big countries, India and China, which means there are lots of chances to do well. Nepal is also trying to protect investors and make sure they don’t have to pay taxes twice. So, investing in Nepal can help both the country and the investors.

Nepal’s Economic Potential

Nepal has a lot of chances to grow its economy, and here are three areas where it can really shine:

  1. Tourism: Lots of people come to Nepal to see its beautiful mountains and learn about its culture. The money they spend helps many Nepalese people. After the pandemic, more people want to travel, and they’re interested in visiting places like Nepal that are pretty and good for the environment.
  2. Renewable Energy: Right now, Nepal doesn’t use a lot of clean energy like solar or wind power, but it wants to change that. The goal is to use more clean energy and give it to more people by 2030. Nepal has a lot of rivers that can make electricity, and it’s starting to look at other clean energy options too.
  3. IT and Outsourcing: Nepal is getting noticed for its computer and business services. It’s in a good spot between India and China, which are big countries that do a lot of this work. Nepal could become a popular place for companies around the world to get good quality work done without spending too much money.

Government Initiatives and Policies

Nepal’s government is trying to make it easy for people from other countries to invest money there. They want to help Nepal’s economy grow and create more jobs. Here’s what they’re doing:

  • Friendly Policies: They’ve made new rules that welcome foreign money and ideas, especially in areas that can help Nepal make things locally, sell more stuff to other countries, and build better roads and buildings.
  • Special Deals: If you invest in Nepal, you might get some benefits. For example, the government will try to protect you from losing money if the currency value changes. They also don’t ask for a lot of money to start investing, which is good for smaller businesses.
  • Clearer Rules: They’re making the rules easier to understand and the process of investing smoother. This way, people who want to invest can do it without too much trouble and know what good things they can expect.

Key Sectors for Investment

Nepal has some really good areas where people can invest their money:

  • Houses and Big Projects: Nepal is building a lot of important things like roads and bridges to make travel easier. There are also lots of new buildings going up because more people are moving to cities. This means there are many chances for investors to put their money into these projects.
  • Farming and Food Business: Farming is a big deal in Nepal. It feeds people and gives them jobs. But there’s room to grow by making more food products like jams, cheese, and other things from what farmers grow. Also, Nepal wants to sell its farm products to other countries, so investors can help make this happen.
Tourism Opportunities in Nepal

Opportunities in Tourism

Sure thing! Here’s a simple version:

Nepal is a great place for tourists because it has beautiful mountains and a rich history. There are two big ways people can invest in tourism here:

  • Hotels and Places to Stay: More tourists mean we need more hotels. Big hotel companies are coming to Nepal to build new places for tourists to stay. This helps create jobs and supports local businesses.
  • Fun Adventures: Nepal is famous for outdoor activities like hiking and climbing. Now, there are new fun things to do like skiing and mountain biking. These adventures are getting more popular, and investing in them means you can be part of a growing business that gives tourists exciting experiences
IT sector in Nepal

Technology and Innovation

Nepal is becoming a cool place for tech stuff. Here’s why:

  • IT Sector Growth: The IT business in Nepal is booming. More people are using the internet and need tech services, so there’s a lot of work in this area. The government is also helping by making it a priority to sell these services to other countries. This is creating jobs and keeping young people in Nepal.
  • Tech Startups and Innovation Hubs: There are lots of new small tech companies starting up in Nepal. They’re doing well because there are many smart people there who can do great work without charging too much. The government is giving these companies special benefits to help them grow. There are also places called innovation hubs that help these companies by giving them what they need to succeed, like money, advice, and connections.

Risks and Mitigation Strategies

Investing in Nepal has some risks, but there are ways to handle them:

  • Political and Rules Risks: Nepal is still figuring out how to run its government since it became a republic. This can lead to problems like not enough accountability and too much politics in how things are done. To deal with this, investors should keep up with the news, get help from locals who know the system, and make sure they follow all the rules.
  • Money and Market Risks: There’s no good way to protect your money against changes in Nepal’s currency value over a long time. Also, because Nepal relies a lot on India for trade, there can be market risks. Investors can spread their investments to reduce these risks and use special financial tools to protect against changes in currency value.
  • Risk Management Strategies: Nepal has plans to deal with disasters and keep developing in a safe and lasting way. Investors should help by putting money into things that can withstand tough times, supporting families and communities to be stronger, and improving how the government handles climate change and disaster risks.

Success Stories

  • Successful Investments: In Nepal, some companies have done really well. For example, there’s a bank called Nabil Bank Limited that’s the most valuable company in the country. There are also other successful companies in different areas like telecommunications and investing.
  • Foreign Companies: Companies from other countries have found good opportunities in Nepal, especially in sectors like hydropower, manufacturing, services, tourism, construction, farming, minerals, and energy.

How to Get Started

  • Steps for Investors: If you’re thinking about investing in Nepal, you’ll need to follow some steps. First, you have to decide what kind of business you want to start. Then, you’ll need to get approval from the government and make sure you meet all the legal requirements.
  • Supporting Resources: There are organizations in Nepal that help investors. They provide information and support to make it easier to start and run a business.

Conclusion

Nepal has many opportunities for investment, with a lot of potential in different sectors. It’s a good time for investors to consider Nepal as a place to grow their business and be part of the country’s economic growth. Investing here can help both the country and the investors succeed.

What is the best investment in nepal?

The best investments in Nepal are in areas like agriculture, tourism, hydropower, and infrastructure development. These sectors have a lot of potential for growth and can give good returns to investors. For example:

Agriculture

Nepal has good land for farming, and there are chances to make and sell things like tea, coffee, and spices.

Tourism

With its beautiful mountains and culture, Nepal can attract many tourists. Investing in hotels or adventure activities can be profitable.

Hydropower

Nepal has lots of water resources, which can be used to make electricity. This is a big opportunity because the world wants more green energy.

Infrastructure

Building things like roads and bridges is important for Nepal’s growth, and there’s a need for investment in this area.

When is the Best time to invest in Nepal?

The best time to invest in Nepal can depend on various factors, including the type of investment and market conditions. Generally, there isn’t one specific time that’s best for all types of investments. However, for trading in financial markets like Forex, the global optimal trading time is said to be when the U.S./London markets overlap at 8 a.m. to noon EST, as this timeslot has the heaviest volume of trading. For the local stock market, the Nepal Stock Exchange Limited operates between 11:00 and 15:00 NPT.

For long-term investments, it’s often suggested that the best time to invest is when you have the capital ready and have done your research on the opportunities available. It’s also important to consider the economic and political stability of the country at the time of investment. Some sources suggest that despite challenges like the pandemic and political instability, NEPSE has performed well, indicating that now could be a good time to invest in the stock market in Nepal.

Remember, it’s always wise to consult with financial advisors and conduct thorough research before making any investment decisions.
