01 / YOUR STANDARD
Five gates.
One deliberate decision.
A familiar pattern is only the beginning. Before you enter, check the whole picture. In this training model, all five gates must qualify.
Right price
Discount for longs. Premium for shorts. Use the range marked before the trigger.
Setup present
The required confirmation has closed. Seeing what might happen isn’t enough.
HTF aligned
The proposed direction agrees with the supplied higher-timeframe order flow.
Risk defined
A structural stop. A logical target. At least 2R planned reward in these exercises.
02 / TAKE THE CHALLENGE
Ten decisions.
What will yours reveal?
Ten directional drills: long and short versions of five setup models. Learn the rules, then decide whether to trade, wait, or pass.

Your quick tutorial — read this first
1. Read the 1H context and the frozen parent range. The midpoint divides premium from discount.
2. Inspect the candles and marked entry zone. For a sweep reversal, wait for the sweep, reclaim, and closed-candle structure break. For continuation, look for a confirmed impulse and FVG return. For an order-block retest use the last opposite candle; for OTE use the marked 62–79% impulse retracement. FVG and AM-window labels can overlap and either is accepted where both fit.
3. Mark each gate yes or no. Choose trade only if all five qualify; wait if confirmation is still developing; pass if a fixed filter fails.
These are simplified, fictional decision exercises. “A+” is checklist compliance, not a prediction. Stops and targets shown are hypothetical; this introductory demo excludes fees and slippage.
PROPOSED PLAN
Choose Yes or No for every gate before deciding.
03 / HOW YOU’LL TRAIN
Learn the pattern.
Then find it for yourself.
Our procedural library covers ten directional drills across five overlapping models, with variations and lookalikes. These are our teaching definitions, not ten independent trading edges. Each mode develops a different skill.
One setup.
Focused repetition.
Choose a family. Study its checklist. Practice different versions with guidance, then remove the hints.
No label.
Your decision.
Identify the setup, assess the context, and decide. Include no-trade scenarios so patience counts.

Current demo scores recognition and decisions, not order-entry execution. Synthetic outcomes are fictional, not evidence of profitability.
BEFORE YOUR FIRST REP
A few straight answers.
Is this real market data?
No. Every candle in the free demo is generated from original fictional scenarios. No CME history or live feed is included.
What happens after my ten decisions?
New demo decisions lock. You can keep reviewing your results and the tutorial. Continue with online membership for $14.97/month or $97/year. Your member dashboard saves practice history and lets you compare results by setup.
Does a high score prove I have a profitable strategy?
No. It measures how closely you follow this exercise’s checklist. Synthetic scenarios are learning tools, not a backtest or evidence of live-market profitability.
Can I practice futures and forex?
The decision concepts can be practiced using the fictional charts here. The paid product’s futures and forex configurations will need their own contract, tick/pip, spread, and session settings. They are not interchangeable.
Is Trader A affiliated with ICT?
No. Trader A is an independent project by Aaron Acosta through 410 Strategy. Our exercises and explanations are original; references to ICT concepts do not imply endorsement.
