The Trading Strategy I Invented That Got Me Funded - Categorical Trading

A full guide on the strategy I made that I call categorical trading. It's pure price action trading, and it can be applied to all timeframes and markets like futures, Forex, stocks, crypto, and anything with candles. This explains every aspect of it, even though I choose to use only a small part of it my actual trading. Happy to report I've now been getting consistent payouts from funded accounts since July of 2024 :) More resources on this strategy: https://www.imantrading.org/howimantrades Discord server ONLY for prop firm traders: https://discord.gg/dX8WEwUrvS Best prop firms and discounts: https://www.imantrading.org/prop-firms My free website for everything-trading; stop paying for stuff!! https://www.imantrading.org/ Extra videos and early access to videos: https://www.patreon.com/ImanTrading My Twitter: https://twitter.com/imantradingYT Discord server ONLY for prop firm traders: https://discord.gg/dX8WEwUrvS Second channel for live trading: https://www.youtube.com/@imantradinglive Third channel for posting whatever I want: https://www.youtube.com/@imanidiottrading My email: imanktrading@gmail.com Instagram (not active, sorry) - https://www.instagram.com/imantradingfutures/ 0:00 The fundamentals of categorical trading 1:10 Intro to consolidation trading 2:08 Intro to directional trading 2:39 Adapting to changing price action categories 3:45 Introduction to profit target placements 4:24 Profit targets in consolidation 6:02 Profit targets in direction 6:37 Why ATR is crucial for this 7:19 ATR and adjusting the timeframe to get your trading conditions 8:39 An amazing trick for ATR 9:44 Using price intervals to determine trade sizes and types 11:12 Everything on risk:reward ratios 13:15 Finding what you’re best at the RIGHT way 14:11 How long for you to find your best implementation 16:27 What time to trade, how long each session should be 17:48 How your uniqueness affects this strategy 18:51 The only time you should be wrong on a trade 21:20 What to trade (futures, forex, crypto, stocks, options?) 21:51 Journaling and recording - low effort, incredibly helpful 23:10 RECORD YOUR TRADES OR FAIL 25:52 Fixing problems and trading psychology 28:35 What are the first steps for you to do this? 29:44 How to know when NOT to trade 31:07 Price action variables to pay attention to 32:38 Reminders.

An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing ones’ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
