How I make $100k/month trading

Two weeks ago I was sitting at this cafe, 

laptop closed, watching people rush to their 9-5s.

My phone buzzes.

"Trade closed. +$18,000."

10 minutes of work.

More than most people make in 6 months.

The guy next to me is stress-eating his sandwich, probably worried about his mortgage payment.

This wasn't always my life.

Two years ago I was that guy. 

Except instead of worrying about a mortgage, I was watching my trading account evaporate in real time.

$31k gone in 8 months.

I had every indicator known to man. RSI, MACD, Fibonacci, moving averages

You name it.

I followed ICT religiously.

Studied order blocks until my eyes bled.

Could draw support and resistance lines in my sleep.

But I kept losing.

The worst part? 

Watching traders with worse setups, worse risk management, and zero technical knowledge consistently outperform me.

These people should not be winning? 

Anyway, 

One night, after another brutal loss, I stumbled across something.

It wasn't in any YouTube video. Hell, most retail traders have never even heard of it.

Liquidity.

Not the basic "supply and demand" stuff everyone talks about.

Real liquidity. How institutions actually move money. 

Where they hunt. 

When they strike.

See, while I was drawing pretty lines on my charts, banks were hunting stop losses like predators.

While I was waiting for "confirmations," they were already positioned where the money flows.

While I was analyzing candlestick patterns, they were thinking three steps ahead.

That's when it hit me.

I wasn't trading against price. 

I was trading against institutions with billion-dollar algorithms designed to take my money.

And I was bringing a knife to a gunfight.

So I learned to think like them.

Instead of predicting price, I started predicting where the money would flow.

Instead of hoping for perfect setups, I started hunting liquidity grabs.

Instead of trading patterns, I started trading psychology.

The results were immediate.

First $20k month. Then $50k. Last month? $100k.

Same 10 minutes a day. Same simple setup. Same old laptop.

But my brain was completely rewired.

When you understand liquidity, trading becomes effortless. 

You're not guessing anymore. 

You're not hoping. 

You're executing with surgical precision because you know exactly what institutions are going to do next.

Most traders will never get this.

They'll keep buying courses about "smart money concepts" that miss the point entirely.

They'll keep chasing indicators that lag behind institutional moves.

But here's the thing...

Once your brain is wired for liquidity-based thinking, you can't unsee it.

Every trade becomes a calculated hunt instead of a desperate gamble.

That's whats happening inside Iron Forged. 

Not just teaching another strategy. 

But completely rewiring how you think about the market.

You could stay where you are and hope things change.

Or learn to hunt liquidity like an institution and make the change inevitable.
