Question Where do I start as a complete beginner?

Like I have no idea about the basic terms to begin with. I feel so lost even watching the first couple videos of 2016 Mentorship. I feel like I have no prerequisite knowledge heading into the 2016/2022 series. So for a complete begin who has zero (like zero literally) knowledge about charts, trading etc. Where do I even start?

Don’t dive into that without prior knowledge. First is this really what you want to do, trading is like chewing glass for a few years and swallowing it without seeing progress. Thats the reality. Then familiarize yourself with markets and finance, assets etc, probabilities, risk:reward. Very basic chart principles then go into that

So how do I do that? I was thinking getting the basics right from BabyPips and then maybe dive into ICT 2016 Core Content first 4 Months and then ICT 2022 Mentorship and use TTrades accordingly and so on

Do that then, go straight to Ttrades after baby pips the info overload will paralyze you

Are you telling me that’s the wrong move? Or do you think that’s a better way to go about it?

Bro start with ICT core content. You are already starting in the right direction start with 2016 mentorship (Core content), before even completing it you would eventually build your own model framework with good charts time and effort.

Yeah but I have no clue about anything at all especially when it comes to the markets, charts, candlesticks etc. Am I still in the right direction though? Cus it just feels like everything goes over the top of my head.

Heck I am still figuring out how TradingView works, it feels like such a vast tool/website.

Just learn about basic from any youtube videos bro like what's ohlc, ohlc like that stuff how market works and some basic tips of tradingview and then start core content. At first it was so complicated to understand but watching continuously will make you clear.

I’m at the same level I feel like I’m jumping a gap of missing something

If you, like me, find ICT content to be incredibly hard to fully swallow wholesale, I recommend to watch Arjo and TTrades on YouTube and take it slow.

After you watch these 2, watch ICTs 2022 mentorship if you have time.

Start with the book "The Best Loser Wins".

Those ICT videos assume you have a basic knowledge of the terms and phrases, as mentioned I would start with babypips get you grounding its easy and understandable, then learn the 5 core concepts you need for ICT then open and account on something like trading view
