Everything you need to start trading ICTrading with confidence — platform setup, risk management, and proven strategies. Built for traders who want results, not theory.
Getting your platform configured correctly is the single most important step. A properly set up platform means tighter spreads, faster execution, and fewer costly mistakes.
Always test your setup on a demo account first. ICTrading gives you $100,000 in virtual funds — use it to verify your platform configuration, test your strategies, and confirm spreads before going live.

Professional traders don't make money by being right more often. They make money by managing risk so well that a losing streak doesn't wipe them out. This checklist is your safety net.
Never risk more than 1% of your account on a single trade. This is non-negotiable. Here's how to calculate your position size:
| Account Size | Max Risk per Trade (1%) | Position Size at 10 Pip SL |
|---|---|---|
| $500 | $5.00 | 0.05 lots |
| $1,000 | $10.00 | 0.10 lots |
| $2,500 | $25.00 | 0.25 lots |
| $5,000 | $50.00 | 0.50 lots |
| $10,000 | $100.00 | 1.00 lots |
If you can't answer YES to all 6 checklist items, don't take the trade. Missing one check is how accounts get blown. ICTrading's raw spreads mean you get fair execution — but no amount of tight spreads saves you from bad risk management.
Best for: Traders who can sit at the screen for 2-3 hours. Timeframe: M5. Session: London open (07:00-10:00 UTC) or New York open (13:00-16:00 UTC).
ICTrading's ECN execution and raw spreads (from 0.0 pips) make scalping viable. With most brokers, spreads eat your profit on M5. With ICTrading, you keep what you earn.
Best for: Traders with a day job. Timeframe: H1. Session: Any, but best during London + New York overlap (13:00-17:00 UTC).
Best for: Traders who like clear, high-probability setups. Timeframe: M15. Session: London open or New York open — highest breakout probability.
Only take the trade if the breakout candle closes beyond the level. A wick through is not a breakout. ICTrading's ECN execution means your entry is filled at the market price — no requotes, no slippage games.
You've got the knowledge. Now get the execution. ICTrading gives you raw spreads from 0.0 pips, 2000+ instruments, and institutional-grade liquidity — the same setup professional traders use.
