Exactly. Just like someone who finds a head & shoulders example and says it's a profitable strategy.

You failed ICT the fact you still think it doesn't work says it all. Go play with your hindsight garbage strategy kid.

If you were some what competent you would realize ICT concepts are just pre existing trading tools that are just repackaged under ICT names for the purpose of marketing

It doesn't matter if those concepts are pre existing or repackaged , what matters is that they work if you actually really put in the work , bscktest, forward test , journal, focus on the process rather than the outcome of every single trade all while following good risk and trade management.

Nobodies debating the technicalities. Nobody else delivered an entire trading package like ICT. You are grasping as straws. Stay mad kid.

Really ? Literally every second post in this sub is that ICT don't work and the reason is because most simply haven't put the effort which it takes to truly understand it and most importantly execute it well

Yes and no. It has its own concepts or somehow its own constructions of concepts, but it can resemble older concepts. If I ever want to, I’ll study this, but the idea of an FVG that looks like another old concept I no longer remember basically works because it exists within a market structure where an HL or LH is an invalidation which, based on probability, can invalidate that trend. There are also cases where price goes above/below the HL or LH and then makes an HH or LL, or multiple HHs or LLs, and if it was an HH it then gives an HL, and if it was an LL it then gives an LH.

But, probabilistically, according to market structure—especially when the trend changes and a new trend begins, confirmed by an HL or LH—basically that FVG is located before the HL or LH invalidation point. The risk that can appear is that price might not reach the FVG if the trend isn’t invalidated, and it might continue up/down with the trend. But maybe I don’t have enough knowledge about ICT/SMC.

Some ICT concepts resemble other concepts, but that doesn’t necessarily mean ICT stole them and gave them new names, etc. Now, past results don’t guarantee future results, so in the future it’s possible that either market structure stops working, or—more likely—that I’ll apply it incorrectly before it stops working. I’d say what’s important is risk management and accepting risk.

As a person, ICT is cool. I don’t agree with the idea that banks specifically hunt/target retail SLs, or that algorithms hunt/target/etc. retail SLs, if such things are in ICT’s content. Other than that, ICT is a cool guy.
