A short YouTube commentary by Jesse Rogers explaining why many ICT (Inner Circle Trader) style traders lose money. Rogers contrasts a common 2022 ‘long on swept low + fair value gap’ model that often fails (price failing to show structure shift or momentum) with an alternative approach: wait for reaction at time-based levels (e.g., London session low), watch for strength or displacement, and—if displacement/break of structure occurs—target the previous daily low. The clip ends with an invitation to join Rogers’ free trading community for daily setup walkthroughs.

Let me show you why 90% of ICT traders lost here. So Price runs this low with a classic liquidity sweep. And if you're looking for the typical 2022 model, then this looks like your perfect long setup. You're thinking, we've swept a low. Now we just wait for a structure shift and then long in the fair value gap. But watch what happens. Price never confirms no structure shift and no momentum or displacement. It just keeps dropping. And just like that, you're either stopped or frozen. But where the 2022 model failed you, what I'm about to show you will make you more money. So, same move. We're going to wait for Price to trade into a time based level right here where we hit the London session low. But we slow down and ask ourselves, does price react with strength? And the answer is no, it does not. Instead, we sweep a high and immediately break structure lower with displacement. Now, this is where most traders would hesitate if they were still looking for longs. But this is exactly where we target the previous daily low to the left. And then now all that remains is for you to sit back and watch as your profit goes green. Now, after seeing this, if you're looking to evolve from just trading basic ICT and want to start trading the market for what it actually is instead of what you want it to be, the comment join below and I'll send you the link to my free trading community where I'll walk you through setups like this every single day, allowing you to learn this and profit from it. But make sure you're following me or I won't be able to DM it to you.
