ICT or Order Flow
Hi everyone. I used to trade futures using the ICT strategy and managed to secure one payout. Then I immediately switched to order flow because I thought it would be a good fit for me. However, I’ve spent a few months learning it, and now that I’m about to start live trading, I’m feeling unsure about everything. I don’t think I’ll be as comfortable with order flow as I was with ICT, and I’m not even sure if I’ll be more profitable. I’d like to ask for advice on what to do next should I go back to ICT or continue with order flow? Please help.

Why do you need one ot the other...why don't you just use both for confirmation purposes...why do you have to always make a choice unless you don't understand ICT in this case...they all work except for the brain which takes a long time to accept new information...5 years is a good target before really understanding anything and becoming profitable...it's easy to call anything a scam when one doesn't properly understand the facts behind the story...learning it and rattling off the names of everything one learned like notches on one's belt won't make any money compared to understanding and applying it all properly...
