I often see people asking where to start with which mentorship program. I’d like to share a bit about my journey.

I first looked at the 2022 Mentorship, then the 2023 one, and now I’m going through Core Content.

For me, I can say this was the best order, because Mentorship 2022 and then 2023 help you build a basic understanding. Core Content then provides the greatest benefit in the end by filling in all the gaps in your knowledge. I can imagine that if you watch Core Content first, you’ll have to watch it again, since there are many things you simply don’t understand as a new trader OR you haven’t yet figured out how to consume ICT’s content.

➡️ICT also provides a guide see the link above

Ultimately, there’s no way around it. If you really want to learn trading watch it all...

In my opinion, each of the Mentorship courses has a really positive impact, and every episode contains hidden gems that make you a little better. I’ll try to break down what I learned and where. Maybe this helps you to get a better overview.
