Fiat debases. Crypto fluctuates. $ICTE is backed by real trading performance —
a NAV-pegged token powered by expert-guided ICT methodology on regulated CME futures.
Your token reflects actual profits. Not hype. Not speculation.
ICT Edge Fund ($ICTE) is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Each token represents one share in
a regulated futures trading fund. The token price is pegged to the fund's Net Asset Value
(NAV) — determined by actual trading performance on a CFTC-regulated brokerage account.
Unlike fiat currencies that lose purchasing power through inflation, and unlike cryptocurrencies whose
prices are driven by speculation and market sentiment, $ICTE is the only digital currency
designed to appreciate. Its value is tied directly to professional trading returns — when
the fund profits, every token is worth more.
All investor capital is pooled into a single company-owned Kraken Derivatives account.
The fund trades one unified position using proprietary ICT methodology. Your tokens represent your
proportional share of the pool. When the pool grows, every token appreciates.
$ICTE is not a speculative cryptocurrency. It is a digital asset backed by a real,
auditable trading account. There is no exchange order book, no market makers, no pump-and-dump. The
token is simply the delivery mechanism for fund performance. If others wish to create derivative
products (CFDs, futures) on $ICTE, they may — but the underlying asset's value is always anchored to
NAV.
02 · The Edge
Expert Analysis, Algorithmic Execution
We built a proprietary trading engine powered by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT)
methodology — the same institutional framework used to identify where liquidity pools form, where smart
money is positioned, and where the next high-probability move begins. We've engineered custom indicators
and built an execution pipeline that combines expert ICT analysis with algorithmic
precision.
Each trading session, an experienced ICT analyst provides the daily bias and session
direction.
The engine then monitors for high-probability setups within those parameters, executing trades with
predefined risk management. This hybrid approach captures the best of both worlds: human
expertise
for market context, algorithmic speed for execution.
Through the $ICTE token, we're giving investors direct access to trade alongside this
engine — and grow their capital through institutional liquidity
strategies.
Precision Entries
Order Blocks
The last bearish candle before a bullish displacement — where institutions
placed their orders. The engine identifies these zones across multiple timeframes and enters
with surgical precision.
Built-In Targets
Fair Value Gaps
A gap between two adjacent candles where the wicks don't overlap at the
middle candle's body — an imbalance price must fill. FVGs confirm entries and set take-profit
targets.
Institutional Confirmation
SMT Divergence
When one index prints a higher high and the correlated index prints a lower
high, it reveals institutional intent. MES & MNQ monitored simultaneously for divergence.
Directional Edge
Daily Bias Engine
ICT analyst determines the day's directional bias from the 1D timeframe using
higher timeframe structure. Every trade aligns with the daily institutional flow.
Optimal Timing
Killzone Macros
Trades fire only during precise 20-minute macro windows where institutional
order flow peaks. These are the exact intervals where highest-probability setups form.
📰
Capital Protection
News Risk Shield
Economic calendar integration pauses trading around FOMC, CPI, NFP events.
Capital stays protected during the most volatile minutes of any session.
Six layers of confluence. Expert-guided execution. The engine requires
Order Blocks, FVGs, SMT Divergence, Daily Bias, Macro Timing, and News Filters to all align before
execution. Daily bias is set by an ICT analyst; the engine handles timing, entry, and risk management.
Every trade has a predefined stop loss and take profit.
🧠 AI Roadmap: Full Autonomy
We are actively developing a machine learning model that will learn from our analyst's
discretionary decisions. By training on historical bias calls, signal acceptance/rejection patterns, and
outcome data, the AI will progressively automate:
Signal selection — learning which setups the analyst would trade and which to skip
Adaptive risk sizing — adjusting position size based on setup quality and market
conditions
The model improves with every trading session. As
confidence
in AI predictions reaches analyst-level accuracy, the fund will transition to fully autonomous
operation — removing the last human variable from the pipeline.
Live engine — MES & MNQ across 5-minute and daily timeframes with
proprietary ICT overlays
03 · The Model
Pooled Capital, One Unified Position
All investor USDT is deposited into a single company-owned Kraken Derivatives trading
account. The fund does not create individual accounts per investor — it operates as one
unified capital pool.
💰
One Pool
All USDT combined into a single Kraken margin account
📊
One Trade
The engine trades the entire pool as one unified position
🪙
Your Share
Your $ICTE tokens = your proportional ownership of the pool
Why pooling works: The fund launches with a $10,000 seed
capital, providing immediate margin liquidity. This means even a $1 USDT deposit has institutional
backing
from day one. As the pool grows, margin efficiency improves — a $500K pool can trade 50 MNQ contracts
where a $5K account can only trade 1.
04 · The Asset
A Currency That Appreciates
$ICTE is a fully transferable ERC-20 token. You can send it, receive it, and hold it in
any Ethereum wallet — just like any other token. But unlike any other currency:
💵
Fiat (USD, EUR)
Debases Over Time
Central banks print money. Purchasing power erodes ~2–7% per year. Your
savings lose value while sitting in a bank account.
₿
Crypto (BTC, ETH)
Fluctuates on Speculation
Price driven by sentiment, hype, and market makers. No underlying
performance. You're trading against other traders.
🏆
$ICTE
Appreciates by Design
Backed by real trading returns. NAV only rises when the fund profits. Not
speculation — performance. The only currency engineered to grow.
Fully Transferable
$ICTE is a standard ERC-20 token. You can:
Send to any wallet — pay friends, business partners, or anyone with an Ethereum
address
Receive from anyone — no approval needed, no KYC for peer-to-peer transfers
Store in any wallet — MetaMask, Ledger, Trust Wallet, or any ERC-20 compatible
wallet
Use as collateral — DeFi protocols can accept $ICTE as collateral for loans
$ICTE is the underlying asset. It is not a derivative. It is not a
CFD. Its value is determined solely by the fund's NAV. If third parties wish to create CFDs, futures, or
options contracts on $ICTE, they are free to do so — but the token itself is always redeemable at the
current NAV from the fund.

Risk Disclosures
⚠️
Trading Risk
Futures trading involves substantial risk. NAV can decrease. Past performance
≠ future results.
⚠️
Leverage Risk
Futures are leveraged. Losses can exceed margin. Risk management applied but
extreme events can cause outsized losses.
⚠️
Smart Contract Risk
Despite audits, undiscovered vulnerabilities possible. Emergency pause
capability in place.
⚠️
Counterparty Risk
Funds at regulated FCM. No broker immune to insolvency. USDT carries Tether
issuer risk.
14 · Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is $ICTE a memecoin or speculative crypto?
No. $ICTE has no exchange listing, no order book, and no market-driven price. Its
value is determined solely by the fund's NAV — real trading performance on a regulated broker. It
functions more like a tokenized hedge fund share than a cryptocurrency.
Can I lose money?
Yes. The fund trades leveraged futures. If the trading engine has losing periods, NAV
will decrease and your tokens will be worth less. However, the strategy uses strict risk management
with predefined stop losses on every trade.
Can I send $ICTE to someone else?
Yes. $ICTE is a standard ERC-20 token. You can transfer it to any Ethereum wallet
address. The recipient can then either hold it (as an appreciating asset) or redeem it for USDT at
the current NAV.
How do I verify the NAV isn't being faked?
Three layers: (1) Automated Kraken API reads the balance daily. (2) Monthly Kraken
account statements are published publicly. (3) All NAV updates are recorded on-chain on Ethereum —
immutable and verifiable by anyone.
What if everyone redeems at once?
The EOD settlement model means all redemptions are processed at close. If needed, the
engine unwinds positions during CME maintenance. This is standard fund practice. Large redemptions
may be processed over multiple settlement windows.
Can people trade $ICTE on exchanges?
$ICTE is not listed on any exchange by design — it doesn't need an order book because
it's always redeemable at NAV. However, as an ERC-20 token, third parties could theoretically create
derivative products (CFDs, futures) based on $ICTE. The underlying token always remains anchored to
NAV.
What are the fees?
2% annual management fee (accrued daily) + 20% performance fee above the high-water
mark. No deposit or withdrawal fees beyond Ethereum gas (~$0.60).
Why Dubai?
DIFC (Dubai International Financial Centre) offers DFSA regulation, 0% corporate tax,
0% income tax, and a legal framework designed for digital asset funds. It's one of the most
favorable jurisdictions globally for tokenized fund structures.
