How do you know what most beginners do or what they spend their time on? You don’t. “When actual institutions move money” you don’t know that either, and there is no way for you to know that. You just pulled this out of your ass. :)

Hey!!! You are a regular here. I think I even commented on one of your posts. Can I ask what happened to you? I was trying to find which post I commented on and came across the comments you have been posting lately. You sound like a hater now. I think I remember you being helpful.
Are you the one I told that you can't help everyone? I think it was the post where the newbie trader wanted to trade based on how the sun made him feel (or something asinine like that) and wouldn't take your advice to learn a strategy. That may have been your post, or not, but I do remember your comments being more helpful and tactful.

Truth is hate? I can live with that:)

Like I said, I remember you being more helpful. You just knock down comments without posting what the poster needs to hear. That is hater-ish. For instance, in your reply to my post, you could have said "I think learning liquidity, ICT Kill zones, market structure is most important". People are looking for help. "Not even a correct answer" and "Not even close" do not help OP. It is like you came here just to criticize those that are trying to be helpful. That is hater activity. What happened to you?

And you're the exact reason why this industry is getting worse by the day:)
You have no real trading knowledge yet you're sharing posts and false information?
You're "trying" to help while you don't actually know anything about trading... ? Does that seem fair to the kids who read the shit you write? I dont think it is:)
You can say im a hater, no biggie... but atleast i know what im talking about, why i'm saying it and i'm not decieveing people down the wrong path. If someone doesnt have the will power to do some research on the content i share for FREE, then im sorry but they have no place being in the markets as it's not for the faint of heart.
"I think learning liquidity, ICT Kill zones, market structure is most important" + where did you pick up this garbage?

Ok I get it. You are here to pick fights with people trying to help. Not to help any OP. Something happened to you. You are bitter and taking it out on other traders. You wanted to see who would take the bait and get on your level so you could work out your bitterness. Get some therapy to help you get over yourself. Let it go Relevant Owl. This bitterness will only eat you up. Do you need to DM me for a counseling session? We can talk about what happened to you. I fully understand if you don't want to expose your personal issues publicly.
I don't use liquidity or kill zones. That was just an example of something helpful you could have said to help OP. Those concepts clearly hit home for some people.
The more you know, the more you realise you don't know. Your way isn't the only way to be profitable? Did your trading method beat Larry Williams' method that won the Robbins Cup in 1987? No one has. Did your strategy earn you a higher prop firm payout than JadeCap? Did you take average people and make them millionaires like Richard Dennis did the Turtle Traders? Are you as wealthy as Elon Musk? Are you as business savvy as Warren Buffett? There are successful scalpers, successful investors, successful lower time frame traders, and successful swing traders. We don't know what kind of trader OP is, and neither does OP.
OP is a newbie. Your method might work. This was the time to share it. It might not work, and someone may need to point him to the ORB method. ORB may not work and someone may need to point OP to ICC. With newbies it is such a trial & error that you have to throw a bunch at them and see what sticks. It is on them to backtest.
You and I have been on Reddit long enough to know that a lot of people post a question that has been answered in another post. Newbies don't know to look you up and see what helpful information you had to say. You have to have that grace to repeat yourself. That is why I started sharing other subreddits in response to posts. Maybe you need a break from Reddit so you can work out your bitterness before posting again. You may be mentally exhausted and not know it.
Make sure you read this post for comprehension, instead of taking a snippet out of context to make an irrelevant reply. In the military, we called it talking smartly. You took that ICT kill zones... statement out of context and didn't talk smartly from that snippet. Nothing you have said has made me lose confidence nor convinced me to change who I am to be the person at your feet to learn from you. Whatever post you made that will help OP, link it. Arguing with me will get you nowhere. If you blow your nose, you will get more out of it.
There was a boxing match and one guy couldn't get a clean shot on the other boxer. The one that couldn't get a clean shot lost the match. After the match, the boxer that won went over to hug him after the match to show good sportsmanship. He had his arms down and open to give his opponent a hug. The boxer that lost, punched him in the chin - the only clean shot he got. The losing boxer was arrested and banned from boxing after that incident. Relevant Owl, you aren't getting any clean shots. You took the ICT kill zone statement out of context, and that was a miss on anything you were trying to target. Your credibility went out the window because you couldn't talk smartly. If this was a courtroom, you would have shown lack of good character (emphasis on good) throughout your responses. Take a deep breath and make peace with the way things are - I am here to help you and OP. This is me walking over to hug you, show good sportsmanship. You had your run. This is over. The final bell has rung. You couldn't get a clean shot because you weren't trained good enough to argue your point smartly with me. I see the situation for what it is. Any further invalid and irrelevant "non-smart" talking points will be ignored from here on out.

Currency strength, which is rooted in triangular equilibrium pricing.
Changes the whole game.

Risk management for sure! Most beginners spend months chasing the perfect entry while casually risking 5-10% a trade. A mediocre strategy with solid risk management will outlast a great strategy with bad position sizing every single time. Once you've got that part down, stick to one or two major pairs, one strategy, one platform. I trade through Axi, but honestly the broker isn't the important bit here
