ICT Risk Management: Sizing Trades When Multiple PD Arrays Align
✦
One of the unique aspects of ICT-based trading is that setups have varying degrees of confluence — and your position size should reflect this.
**Tier 1 — Single array (OB only, or FVG only):**
Risk: 0.5–0.75% of account
Single-array entries have decent probability but are less certain than multi-aligned setups.
**Tier 2 — Two arrays aligned (OB + FVG in same zone):**
Risk: 1% of account
The standard trade. Two arrays overlapping at the same level increases probability significantly.
**Tier 3 — Premium/discount + OB + FVG + Kill Zone timing:**
Risk: 1.5–2% of account
When price is in the correct HTF premium/discount zone, hits a PD array, creates an FVG, and the timing is inside a kill zone — this is an A+ setup. Maximum size.
**The practical result:**
You'll trade A+ setups at full size and mediocre setups at half size. Over time, your average risk-adjusted return improves because your capital is concentrated in the highest-probability setups.
How do you grade your ICT setups and adjust position size accordingly?
