Quarterly Theory

I have been trading Quarterly Theory for 8 months, and whilst the idea and precision has such great potential my current model just doesn't seem to work for me. I have been learning of FearingICT who is a great trader and mentor, but his model just doesn't seem to suit me. Does anyone in here also trade QT and wopuld'nt mind sharing how you trade it or combined QT with something else that helped you?

Feeling lost in trading / struggling / do I switch strategies

I have been trading ICT for nearly a year and a half now and have failed to find any success. I have traded a few ICT based stratgies, before I came onto Quarterly Theory about 8 months ago, learnt all about it, have a model, but just struggle with it. I don't know what to do now tbh. The current strategy/model just doesn't work for me, as it's way too discretional and lacks strict rules in a way, I know the person taht I learnt off is profitable with the model, but it just doesn't work for me. I just feel at a dead end and lost. I even tried fully switching away from ICT and trading EMAs and volume, but after alot of backtesting the results were just not good enough. I know people say don't keep switching stratgies, but I have failed at QT for over 8 months now and have failed to see any promising signs, so I don't know what to do. If I do decide to swicth stratgies, I know all of the ICT concepts and have knowldege based off ICT and Quarterely theory, but could someone just point me in the right direction as I need a fully developed stargy, that I can just backtest and backtest before taking it into live markets. Any help would be great.

Help in combining ICT with EMA + Volume/OBV

I traded ICT and QT concepts for nearly a Year and a half, and I have failed to see any real sucess and struggle with the such discretional side of it. Due to this I have resorted to trying to find a model through the use of Trading EMAs and volume. Any further help for how I can move further forward would be great? Or if anyone knows any reputable and proven traders out there who trade similarly way trading EMAs and Volume could you help me out. So far I have only been working on something without ICT/QT concepts, but since I already have knowledge, then I could try combining it all.

I have so far developed A trend continuation pullback strategy built on the 13 and 50 EMA, combined with OBV volume confirmation.

The setup requires both EMAs to be clearly trending in one direction. I then wait for price to pull back and close a candle below the 13 EMA, without wicking or closing below the 50 EMA. Once I see a strong reclaim candle close back above the 13 EMA, I check the OBV — if the OBV line is above its 20 EMA, confirming volume is backing the move, I take the trade.

My SL is 15 points, and for TPs I have targeted both 1 RR and targeting the nearest swing high.

I only trade during the New York session, strictly between 9:30am and 11am EST, avoiding Mondays and any conditions where price action is choppy or wicky without a clear directional trend.

Backtested across January to May 2026, the strategy has produced a 56% win rate at 1RR and when targeting the swing high/low an average winning RR of 2.10.

I have only traded this based off the 1m tf, and on the Nasdaq. I don't know if these results are very good? And I do know that I need to further backtest more.

One last thing is trading based of EMAs and Volume have the ability to find sucess withing trading? My main goal is to have something that I can trade on the Nasdaq, and use futures prop firms, in the aims of building a live account in the future.
