Your First 90 Days on ICX Global: A Beginner Strategy That Works [V2QI0E43A]
Beginners fail on ICX Global for one reason: too much, too soon — six markets, five tiers, a dozen tools, all on day one. The fix is a 90-day plan that restricts you to one market, one setup, and tiny size until the routine is automatic.
This strategy guide lays out that plan week by week, with clear graduation criteria. Follow it inside the <a href="/en/video/icx-global-demo-trial.html">seven-day trial</a> first, then on a funded Essential account at minimum size.
| 90-day plan | The rule |
|---|---|
| Days 1–7 | Trial account: platform tour + rehearsal loop |
| Days 8–30 | One market, one setup, 0.5% risk |
| Days 31–60 | Journal 20+ trades, review weekly |
| Days 61–90 | Add a second market only if profitable |
| Leverage | 1:25 maximum throughout |
| Our rating | 4.5 / 5 |
Week 1: the rehearsal loop
Run the trial loop daily: market overview, then heatmap, then chart, then calculator, then a practice order, then position monitoring. Score yourself on process, not profit — did you follow the ticket routine from the risk guide every time?
End the week by writing your one setup down in a single paragraph: market, trigger, stop rule, target rule. If it needs two paragraphs, it is two setups — pick one.
Days 8–30: one market, minimum size
Choose the calmest market that fits your schedule — major forex pairs or a flagship index — and trade only your setup at 0.5% risk. Log every trade with screenshot, reason, size, stop, target and outcome. The journal is the strategy; the orders are just data collection.
Resist gold, oil and crypto for now: their volatility punishes learning accounts. They will still be there on day 61. Market tours: stocks & forex, gold.
Days 31–60: review, don't expand
With 20+ journaled trades, review weekly: win rate, average win versus average loss, and — most revealing — how many losses came from breaking your own rules. Fix one leak per week. Still unprofitable? Stay small; the market charges tuition either way, and small is cheap.
- Green light to continue: process followed on 90%+ of trades.
- Yellow light: 2+ rule breaks per week — cut size in half.
- Red light: revenge trading or missing stops — back to trial immediately.
Days 61–90: earn the second market
Only add a second market if days 31–60 were net profitable after costs. Add indices if you trade forex (shared macro drivers make research do double duty) or Bitcoin if you want a volatility education in small doses. Keep total risk across all positions under 2%.
Graduation: 90 days, journal complete, account intact, process automatic. Then — and only then — read the accounts guide and consider whether an upgrade buys you anything your results actually need.
