From a bedroom
to a trading firm.

A systematic ICT trading firm, built in public. Every framework is taught, coded, backtested, and forward-tested before it earns a dollar of capital.

What DRIIPS stands for

A name that's a standard.

Six words that decide what we build, what we teach, and what we refuse to do.

D

Discipline

One A+ setup a day. Win or lose, you're done. The rules beat the urge.

R

Rigor

Nothing is traded that wasn't first backtested 1,000 days and forward-tested 100+.

I

Integrity

Real results, real losses, shown openly. We sell a method, never a fantasy.

I

Inclusion

From a bedroom desk in East Africa — the edge belongs to whoever does the work.

P

People

Students become funded traders, then coaches. The firm grows its own.

S

Service

Trading is the skill; teaching it well is the mission.

The method

Nothing trades until it's proven.

The same pipeline every framework passes through — the 9:30 Open, the 2022 Model, and every one after.

01

Taught

Every framework starts as a written, teachable rule set — the curriculum a student can follow.

02

Coded

Those rules become indicators and logic. If it can't be coded, it isn't systematic yet.

03

Backtested

1,000 trading days across regimes. Expectancy, win rate, drawdown — measured, not hoped.

04

Forward-tested

100+ live days out-of-sample. Only what survives this earns real capital.

The frameworks

Models you can prove.

Each one fully documented — core idea, entry rules, indicators, and an A+ checklist. More added as they clear the pipeline.

The 9:30 Open Framework

9:30 Open
Liquidity → Manipulation → Delivery

A rule-based approach to trading liquidity at the New York open.

The 9:30 Continuation (Shadow)

9:30 Continuation
Pre-market sweep → Open displacement → Draw

When liquidity is cleared BEFORE 9:30, the open just delivers. A separate setup from the reversal model — logged to the Shadow tab, awaiting a held-out 2024 verdict.

View the playbook →

The 2022 Model

2022 Model
Liquidity Sweep → Market Structure Shift → FVG Entry

The mechanical reversal: raid liquidity, confirm with displacement, enter the fair value gap.

View the playbook →

The AMT 9:30 Reaction Model

AMT Reaction
Manipulation → Reaction → Expansion

Let London set the day's high and low, then react to the 9:30 confirmation — don't predict it.

View the playbook →

The ICT FOMC 2-Stage Delivery

FOMC 2-Stage
Accumulation → Manipulation → Distribution

AMD on a daily scale — armed only on FOMC announcement days. Wait for 2:30, ignore the 2:00 trap.
