Trader Yush, an order flow-focused futures and prop firm trader who switched from ICT and built multi-hundred-thousand to million-dollar payouts. He discusses why he left ICT for order flow, strict rules and eval-spend limits, using volume profile and low-volume nodes for entries, disciplined scaling with prop firms, and treating trading like a business with boring, repeatable execution.
