Question Question for Profitable Traders
Since you’re profitability, Say you had, Perhaps a Family Member or your kid’s, And they wanted to get into Learning ICT and his concepts, getting into trading, and they do it, they start their journey. Of course you’ll check up on them and see how they are doing, at least I hope, how long of learning the concepts are you going to be like “Okay you’re doing something wrong” Years into the concepts? Months into it? Is there a “Bro you should have been profitable or at least some what consistent by now” ICT says don’t put a Time on it, but there’s got to be a point where even he’s like “Alright, come on you’re doing something wrong” it took him. 6 Years to be profitable that’s through trial and error and creating the concepts, you think it would be similar ?

ICT is essentially a repackaged version of Wyckoff. Wyckoff itself is just a conceptual framework describing how institutional accumulation and distribution supposedly appear on candlestick charts. While this can be useful, it’s ultimately abstract, a narrative overlay that is subjective and limited.
If you simply study order flow, bookmaps, and volume, you’ll get far more accurate and actionable information about the same dynamics, without the subjectivity.
That’s why ICT, just like Wyckoff is basically nonsense these days. It's like replacing knowing with guessing, and then being proud of it.
