This is a short transcript excerpt from a May 20, 2025 YouTube interview titled "ICT’s Top Trader Makes Millions With THIS Trading Strategy 👀" (Kardec Trader). The host introduces Jade Cap, citing career payouts (about $4.5M total, $2.5M single payout), and Jade Cap describes his intraday trading approach: observing how market participants 'puke' trades, using lower timeframes (1h, 15m) to find Asian-range lows, market structure shifts (fair value gaps, 'turtle soup'), and specific intraday time windows (noting lows often print around 9:30–10:30am). The host also references a trade that made over $100k.
Closing in on 4.5 million in total payouts from his career, 2.5 million in a single payout. I've always said it a future market wizard. And we're going to break down his strategy that allowed him to do that today. And it's the one and only Jade Cap.
Before I get into like the actual concepts of intraday liquidity and volatility, I kind of have to bring it back to like how markets actually operate. Typically what I'm looking for for the weekend, I want to see where they're going to puke their trade or fold their cards and I want to be able to buy that from them. The market makers or whoever's out there is going to be chopping price up and down, trying to stop people out, trying them to flip sides. We can go a little bit deeper than that. This is where you can incorporate these lower time frames into your trading. When I dive down to like, let's just say either a one hour or a 15 minute, I'm looking for a rate on the Asian range lows or I'm looking for, you know, a market structure shift, you know, a fair value gap rate or turtle soup as the traders like to call it. Next is honestly just the time windows going through your data understanding like the intraday lows are being printed at the same time, the intraday highs are being printed around the same time. The low in an index market is probably going to be printed around 9:30-10:30am to me, was probably the biggest transition between FX and futures. And I've seen it so many times. I've seen people miss trades because they're waiting for this specific price and I'd rather make money than miss the trade. Those are the best trades that you're ever going to have.
Over 100k.
On the trade there.
And how long that trade lasted, that trade lasted.
That trade was very quick. If you want to excel and elevate and continue learning and growing and becoming a superstar in trading, I think you have to.
