Introducing the Mellow Market @TradingView color scheme - a soothing and eye-strain free palette perfect for charts. With the help of AI, I created a beautiful combination of colors that enhance readability and reduce fatigue.
Mellow Market is a calm and soothing color scheme for charts, designed to prevent eye strain. The light grey background is complemented by soft, relaxing shades of green for upclose/bullish candles and a harmonious tone of red for downclose/bearish candles. The wicks and borders are a deep blue-grey, providing a good contrast while remaining easy on the eyes.
When it comes to drawing rectangles and lines on the chart, a soft, light yellow color complements the scheme nicely, adding a touch of contrast without overwhelming the soothing atmosphere. For text, a dark grey tone harmonizes perfectly with the background, providing good contrast without causing eye strain.
Here’s the list of colors for the Mellow Market scheme, including the complementary colors:

In summary, Mellow Market is the perfect color scheme for traders who seek a calming, soothing environment in which to work.
You can clearly see, the rare occurence when the unicorn appears where price is supported! That’s it’s called the π¦ model (BRK + FVG) $ES 5min Example ;-)
Had fun with MindMaps this weekend and the @I_Am_The_ICT Bridge Builder video. I love MindMaps and used them years ago very successful, so trying to implement them more in my learning process.
If you search for a Futures Prop-Firm (no CFD) have a look at APEX.

There seems no VolumeImbalance indicator available for #Ninjatrader π
Still in early beta, but this is fun :-) π€ (First NT code ever for me!)
Thanks for the inspiration @28_trader and @IamMas7er
$GBPUSD
Enjoying a perfect autumn day and started reading this great book again. Can you guess it?π
Have a great Sunday!
Listened to @I_Am_The_ICT Twitter Space today and afterward had a quick look at #BTCUSD. Since I haven’t looked at it for a while and not trade it…
Monthly chart. you see it? #MMSM could be totally wrong, beause it’s crypto ;-)
Sharing my end-of-week journal for $ES this time also here in public. This is what I add to my journal book for the overvall week.
My version of identifying a Bullish Breaker.
Not all Breakers work!. Price can trade through a breaker and fail. Keep that in mind! Stops where invented for that π
Have a look at the images for a detailed description of each step.
$ES_F 60min chart, there is more down there :-) #ICT
Hindsight $NQ_F AM Session
So many opportunities, I don’t need to take every trade.
1st Chart - OTE Long after EqO, targeting BSL
2nd Chart - Short Judas Swing Possible above Equilibrium & Long after Stop Hunt and SMT with $NQ FVG&OB setup
Hindsight $NQ_F PM session trade from #ICT today, annotated for my own study notes.
Good Morning,
trying something new this month/week, maybe not what you expected but most of you might have seen that I switched to ICT methods and futures trading during the last couple of months.
If you subscribed because of #TheStrat ideas and infos, I don’t think that I will and can provide them in the future, but if you’re interested in ICT and futures you can still be subscribed to my newsletter :-)
Starting this month I try to show my analysis of $NQ_F (Nasdaq 100 futures) for July, since that month started and we have the first week of the month.
If you want to read my observations and some other posts I write right in your email inbox, you can subscribe to my totally free Newsletter.
Keep in mind that I’m still new to the ICT concepts, I study them since November 2021 with the OTE series and switched over to the Mentorship 2022 Youtube playlist end of January. So this is all my observation and I can be completely wrong.
Also this is no signal service or anything like that, it’s really just my observation that I want to share with you.

We have NFP week, so we might see some heavy manipulation on Wednesday and Friday and I will look and see how “they” open the week to get an idea of the possible July-candle.
Lots of volatility, here is this weeks calendar from forexfactory.com
Staying bearish, rel. equal lows from October 2020 at 10944.50, as long as NQ trades below that Monthly OB I’m bearish longer term.
In a swing high downward direction, remember the 3rd->4th candle for a possible direction ICT mentioned in earlier videos. If price trades up to that little Gap at 11811 there might be resistance, or if it runs through could be later seen as possible support. But for now I’m bearish.
Below Equilibrium of Daily Dealing range, FVG from June 29th (11749) got respected in overnight session today as well.
60min also below my anticipated dealing range, Equilibrium at 11762.75, the Asian run up, was sold off in London Killzone.
Interestingly price respected the Daily gap above in Asian session.
Still figuring out if this format on some days during a month is helpful to show you my observations and ideas.
With that β thanks for reading!
Have a nice green successful week!
Tape reading practice $ETHUSDT, anticipated a move down, placed a short and went to bed. All on paper, I donβt trade crypts with real money. Woke up and that 1:6 R/R worked out nicely.
$NQ higher lowes, while $ES_F made lower lows in London session. #SMT, so powerful for getting the stronger index. #ICT
Possible #MMBM on $NQ 1min spotted, still training my eyes to see them before they “finish”. #ICT
Got some questions about #SMT
Related indexes ($ES, $NQ) trade in sympathy, spotting divergences in price can give advantage.
Looking for long setups on the index showing strength and short setups on an index showing weakness as a confirmation, not as entry!
Since I saw that my quick notes to the #mmbm Market Maker Buy Model are floating around. For your convinience here are both together for you in one post. #mmsm Market Maker Sell Model.
Also, the video from #ICT is linked as well.
Happy learning!
That was a nice Market Maker Buy Model on $ES_F this afternoon session. #ICT
Still learning to spot it early and not when it “happened” to get a possible target to trade into.
Recap of 6/17 $SPX500 (futures $ES_F) with a little long trade. 5min annotated ala #ICT.
Adjusted the STP to quick after taking profit and got stopped out of my runner before target hit.
Instead of trading on a FOMC day (I don’t like the PA and Vol), I did some #ICT charting of the AM session on $ES_F. Traded the long at open on paper. In hindsight I should’ve aimed for the Buyside at 3793, but was happy with the 1:2 R/R on that trade.
The afternoon session on $ES had such a clean price action today.
Here is my take with the #ICT Mentorship Model.
Including a small trade I took based on this setup. 1:7.5 R/R, happy with that!
