I still remember discovering ICT in 2022.
At first, I was just fascinated. I would sit there for hours binge watching video after video, trying to understand what he was talking about. I didn’t have a plan. I wasn’t taking proper notes. I was just consuming everything I could.
The fastest way to bleed an account?
Trading AM session on the wrong days.
👉 If London leaves a massive range skip the AM, wait for PM. 📷
👉If Asia + London expand in one direction skip the AM, wait for PM.
Avoiding bad sessions is the real edge no one talks about.
When markets are at all time highs, it can be hard to trust buying. So how do I do it?
Same rules, wait for sellside liquidity to be purged, enter a shorter intraday Discount... key level at key timing.
I never rush to chase it.
I never regret a missed run.
I never force my will on Price at ATHs.
Patience must be the driving force, more than ever.
For some, the wisest decision is stillness... emphasis on "some".
I still remember discovering ICT in 2022.
At first, I was just fascinated. I would sit there for hours binge watching video after video, trying to understand what he was talking about. I didn’t have a plan. I wasn’t taking proper notes. I was just consuming everything I could.
But when I look back at the person who discovered ICT in 2022, I realize how much I’ve grown.
I didn’t have a mentor. I didn’t have someone holding my hand. I had to figure out a lot of it on my own.
And maybe that’s what makes this journey so personal to me.
There were days I felt like I wasn't making progress at all. But somehow, I kept coming back.
Now it’s 2026, and this is my second year of really sharpening what I started building in 2025.
I’m still learning. I’m still making mistakes. I’m still far from where I want to be.
There was no one beside me telling me, “Study this next,” or correcting me when I was getting it wrong.
It was just me.
Me and the charts. Me and my notes. Me and the mistakes nobody saw. Me questioning myself, getting frustrated, taking breaks, coming back, and trying again.
I started taking notes. Rewatching lessons. Going back to things I didn’t understand. Sitting in front of charts for hours trying to connect what I had learned to what I was actually seeing.
And nobody was there to guide me.
I’ve never had a mentor.
I kept doing that until 2024, then I stepped away.
Looking back, I think I needed that break. Because when I came back in 2025, I came back differently.
This time, I wasn’t just watching.
I was studying.
