Good morning! Today, I want to share anc example of how effective trading can be when you follow a clear method and stay disciplined. This is a story from Dan, one of my students who I've been mentoring. He's been applying the PAT indicator in his trading, and what you'll see here is a textbook example of how to read the market correctly and make confident trades.

Dan's Trade Breakdown

Dan sent me a Loom video where he walked me through his trades. This is a common practice I encourage — recording trades allows me to review, provide guidance, and help refine strategies. In this case, Dan barely needed any input because he'd executed his trades perfectly. Here's what happened:

• Consolidation Phase: The market had been in a long period of consolidation — a typical market maker tactic to confuse retail traders.
• Stop Take and Market Maker Entry: The market took out a key low before reversing and spiking higher — classic market maker behaviour. Dan recognised this as a clear signal that the big players were stepping in.
• Waiting for the Ideal Entry: Knowing the market makers had entered, Dan patiently waited for his ideal setup — and then it happened.

The Trade in Action

• A sharp move downward occurred with heavy volume — confirmation that market makers were driving the price.
• Price tested the midway line — another sign the market was behaving according to the typical market maker pattern.
• Dan entered at the close of a key candle, perfectly timing his entry with the market makers.

The Results

• Dan’s first trade took off beautifully, hitting his profit target while he was asleep! His understanding of the PAT indicator meant he knew exactly when to move his stop and when to exit.
• In a second trade, he applied the same method: identifying consolidation, recognising the breakout after the stop take, and entering with precise timing. Again, a solid result.

Key Lessons

What stands out in Dan's trading is his understanding of:

• Market Maker Behaviour: He didn't guess where the market might go — he followed the signals.
• The PAT Indicator: This tool gives clear visual cues for entries, exits, and key market moves.
• Risk Control: Dan's trades had minimal risk — just a 10-pip stop — but in a calculated way. It wasn’t random; it was a deliberate choice based on what the PAT indicator showed him.

Why Mentorship and the PAT Indicator Matter

Dan’s results didn’t come from luck — they came from following a structured process and learning how to interpret the market correctly. This is what I teach — step-by-step guidance on how to read price action, identify market maker patterns, and use the PAT indicator effectively.

If you’re serious about learning to trade like a professional, the right mentorship can make all the difference. Dan’s results are proof that with the right guidance and tools, you can achieve consistent success.

Have a great weekend, and I’ll catch up with you next week!
