ICT FOUNDATION MASTERPLAN

A Strict Mechanical Trading Plan for Clearing Funded Account Challenges

v3.1 · SOTD Engine · Killzone Filtering · Smart Money Score™

🎯 The USME v3.1 Setup Filter — Mechanical Entry Criteria

Every trade must pass all four filters before execution. No exceptions. This is the mechanical foundation of the Masterplan.

      Core Principle: "We don't predict. We react to confirmed institutional footprint."
    

📋 THE 4-STEP SETUP FILTER

❶
Killzone Confirmation — LONDON 2:00–5:00 AM ET or NY 8:30–11:00 AM ET. Only trade during these institutional sessions. Off-hours signals are filtered out.
❷
HTF Bias Alignment — Weekly and Daily must agree. W:BULL + D:BULL = only longs. W:BEAR + D:BEAR = only shorts. Mixed = no trade.
❸
Smart Money Score ≥ 80% — ELITE (90%+) or PRIME (80–89%) required. The score evaluates confluence: FVG, OB, CHoCH, SMT divergence, and volume profile.
❹
Closed Candle Rule — NEVER enter on a forming candle. Wait for the bar to close confirming the setup. Enter on the open of the next candle.

🕐 Killzone Session Rules

Session	Time (ET)	Action	Preference
🇬🇧 London	2:00 – 5:00 AM	Primary	High
🇺🇸 NY Open	8:30 – 11:00 AM	Primary	High
🇺🇸 NY Afternoon	11:00 AM – 2:00 PM	Secondary	Low
🌙 Off-Hours	All other times	❌ SKIP	Avoid

        ⛔ Hard Rule: No trades outside London or NY Killzones. This filters out 70% of low-probability setups.
      

📊 Smart Money Score™ — Confluence Meter

Confluence Score 86%

0% ELITE 90%+ PRIME 80–89% 100%

The score is derived from 5 confluence factors:

FVG / OB Alignment ✓
CHoCH / BOS Structure ✓
SMT Divergence ∼
Volume Confirmation ✓
HTF Alignment ✓

📋 Pre-Trade Checklist

❶ Killzone active?

London or NY session?

❷ HTF aligned?

W:BULL/D:BULL or W:BEAR/D:BEAR?

❸ Score ≥ 80%?

ELITE or PRIME tier?

      ✅ If all three are green: Proceed to execution protocol. If any are red — wait. Patience is the edge.
    

⚡ The USME v3.1 Execution Workflow

Once a setup passes the filter, follow this mechanical execution protocol without deviation.

      Key Insight: "We execute based on tier, not emotion. The SOTD engine tells us the probability — we follow the math."
    

📋 THE 6-STEP EXECUTION PROTOCOL

❶
Entry Trigger — Enter on the open of the next candle after the signal bar closes. Use a limit order at the FVG/OB level for optimal fill.
❷
Initial Stop Loss — Place 1.5x ATR(14) below the entry for longs, above for shorts. This provides room for institutional noise while protecting capital.
❸
Position Sizing — Based on SOTD tier (see Risk Panel). ELITE = 0.5% risk, PRIME = 0.35%, STANDARD = 0.2%.
❹
Target 1 (T1) — 1.5x risk. Move stop loss to breakeven. Lock in protection. No trade becomes a losing trade after T1.
❺
Target 2 (T2) — 3x risk. Take 50% off the table. Let the remainder run with a trailing stop.
❻
Target 3 (T3) — 5x risk. Manage with 1.5x ATR trailing stop. Let winners run until the trailing stop is hit.

🎯 SOTD Tier Execution Guide

ELITE

≥ 90% · Gold Bubble

100% Position

Full conviction. Trail with 1.5x ATR.

PRIME

80–89% · Cyan Bubble

75% Position

High confidence. Scale in if price retests.

STANDARD

65–79% · White Bubble

25–50% Position

Reduce size. Only if all other filters pass.

        ⛔ Below 65%: Automatically discarded. No trade. The SOTD engine filters out low-probability setups.
      

📐 Trade Management Rules

❶
Move to Breakeven — After T1 (1.5x risk), move stop to entry. Now it's a free trade.
❷
Partial Take Profit — At T2 (3x risk), close 50%. Let the rest run.
❸
Trailing Stop — After T2, activate 1.5x ATR trailing stop on the remainder.
❹
No Adding — Never add to a losing position. Never average down. Let the trade play out.

        📈 The 1:3 Rule: If a trade cannot reach 1:3 risk-to-reward, it is not worth taking. Skip it.
      

🛡️ Risk Management — Protecting Prop Firm Capital

Prop firms have strict drawdown limits. The USME Masterplan is designed to preserve capital while systematically growing the account.

      🎯 The Goal: Reach +10% profit while keeping drawdown below 8% from peak equity.
