TTT - World Class Edge Course - Patrick Nill | TTT Mentorship Program Elite

Core approach / trader profile (non-technical)

• Trading style: Counter-trader (not a trend trader).
• Personality/behavior notes (from the presenter):
  • Prefers confirmation before entry; waits for setups to be “fully developed.”
  • Low win rate (roughly stated as ~40% or “not much more”), requiring high discipline.
  • Accepts frequent losses; can experience “10 stop losses in a row” (example scenario mentioned).
  • Uses higher risk-reward to compensate for the low win rate.
• Explicit caution/discipline note: Low win-rate counter-trading “is not for everyone” due to psychological resilience needs and frequent stop-outs.

Instruments / markets mentioned

• Crude oil (primary favorite; described as having “everything” and better movements)
• DAX (Germany index/CFD mentioned)
• Nasdaq (mentioned as a smaller/occasional championship product)
• Natural gas
• S&P (mentioned but not traded much in the championship due to high spread)
• CFDs referenced (trade simulation and execution via CFD/MQL platform flow; volume visibility differences noted)

Session timing references

• New York cash session / open
• Preference to trade before the New York session
• London session move described as important for oil behavior

Key market mechanics referenced

• Volume profile / market profile
• Cash session profile
• Point of Control (POC) (used as a typical reference/target zone)

Timeframes & charting framework

• Primary context timeframe: 4-hour chart (“good balance” for day-trade context)
• Higher timeframe (daily) mentioned: attempted but “less insight”; 4H preferred
• Entry charting: patterns applied intraday; later a 5-minute chart is mentioned as being clearer than a larger view (auto-subtitle confusion)

Methodology / step-by-step framework explicitly described

(Based on how Patrick applies the TTT method in the intro and trade walkthrough.)

1. Define context using profiles

   • Use cash session profile and profiles from 1–2 days before (not only the day’s profile).
   • Bias depends on how resistance/support behaves—especially “more respected” earlier in the cash session for crude oil.

2. Choose session timing

   • Prefer trading before the New York session for better-defined levels and order flow behavior.
   • Watches for London session big moves that may lack fundamentals, expecting New York rebalancing.

3. Identify patterns for entry

   • Favorite pattern: “P shape” / reversal-to-impulse beginning.
   • Mentions:
     • break-in (continuation-style)
     • breakout (continuation-style)
     • fake breakout as a reversal setup.

4. Plan target location

   • Target often at the beginning of the impulse (noted that win rate is bigger if waiting for the better location).
   • Common reference point is POC (Point of Control) as a normal target area.

5. Risk management rules

   • Risk per trade: 1% to 4% depending on situation.
     • Traveling / phone trading: lower risk (more conservative due to reduced chart overview)
     • In office / in front of charts: can increase risk
     • If setup is especially strong: may go closer to 2% and sometimes above
   • Championship behavior: described as more risky than professional trading, and he does not apply the same approach to “professional trades.”

Key trade examples and outcomes (as stated)

Trade 1 (crude oil)

• Instrument: Oil (crude oil)
• Structure / idea: Counter-trade into zones using B-shape / P-shape reference to the previous day’s profile
• Execution timing:
  • Bought around 5:00 (two entries/positions)
  • First position: closed about 1.5 hours later
  • Second position: held overnight and closed the day after
• Targets:
  • First take-profit near an upper zone from the prior day
  • Expected possible extension by “$1–$3”, but it did not reach that extension
• Risk/management note: Held overnight due to expectation of continuation upward; eventually closed when price didn’t extend.

Trade 2 (crude oil)

• Instrument: oil
• Context: “Descending B shapes” and trading the break-in of the last B shape
• Goal: Buy during the back-in / move back toward the other side of the range
• Session logic:
  • References London session big move
  • Expects New York rebalancing (reversion trade)
• Execution:
  • First scalp-like entry after an immediate bounce
  • Another tranche tied to a “real break-in”
  • Mentions a smaller stop for scalp (numerical stop size unclear due to subtitle gaps)
• Targets:
  • Included POC as a normal target zone
  • Commentary suggests they reached the “other side of the profile”
• Outcome: Reached target; commentary notes manual management vs not actively managing can affect timing, and here it worked out.

Trade 3 (DAX / oil, then narrowed to oil)

• Instruments referenced: “short rate in DAX and oil,” then mainly oil
• Context: Huge move the day before, slower movement in the morning; tries to trade the back of the impulse
• Direction: Go short in the morning
• Levels/targets (partially garbled):
  • Mentions a target area “77 5” (likely a contract/scale issue; subtitles unclear)
  • Target described as “a little bit under the impulse”
• Stop loss: “a little bit over the first impulse”
• Setup risk note: Calls these trades “a little bit risky” because oil can “run days and days.”
• Pattern behavior described:
  • Fake breakout of POC on the 4-hour, then second candle closes back in
  • “Cash session kicks in” and price comes down; trade is closed
• Close timing: Closed at 9:10
• Overnight risk control rule: For big trades, he sometimes closes at end of day to avoid overnight exposure (“it’s not the take profit, it’s the time”).

Trade 4 (November 18)

• Instrument: Not explicitly restated; part of the same traded basket/context
• Timing discrepancy: “taken November 18 at 9:00” but “actually 10:00 on exchange time”
• Setup: Big B-shape, then a break-in; Europeans session comes; he trades the break-in again
• Direction: Long initially (explicit “long here”)
• Risk/targets:
  • Stop loss “under the here” (exact level unclear due to subtitle gaps)
  • Target: upper zone above the impulse begin
• Management rule:
  • If not in front of charts, he may reduce take-profit
  • If present, he keeps it at/above impulse start
• Close timing/outcome: Closed manually around 17:xx (subtitle confusion), and commentary indicates it had reached target.

Performance metrics / numbers mentioned

• Win rate: approx. 40% (“perhaps from 40% not much more”)
• Risk per trade: 1% to 4%
• Loss streak possibility: example of ~10 stop losses in a row
• Price movement expectations (Trade 1): anticipated extension by “$1 / $2 / $3” (relative only; scaling uncertain)
• Trade durations / holding periods:
  • Trade 1: first close ~1.5 hours, second close overnight/day after
  • Trade 2: one scalp portion ~1.5 hours later, remainder into next day
  • Trade 3: closed around 9:10
  • Trade 4: closed late session (~17:xx)
