TradingView wicks turning thick when you zoom in?
I built a free fix: Wick Lock, locks your wicks at 1px, at any zoom.
Setup: add it, then Chart Settings > Symbol > untick "Wick".

One thing about the ICT community!
Absolutely no one has produced an original concept except the author of those concepts themselves and an honorary mention (@GxTradez !)
And they rarely even care about this things!
Let the man breath
I see so many people promoting their indicators with “100% free and open source.”
But ask yourself one question: why?
If you've genuinely built something valuable that helps you find your edge, why give everything away for free?
Free doesn't automatically mean bad, but in trading, you should always question what's behind the product.
A real edge isn't built on marketing promises. It's built on results, logic, and consistency.
Every SMT at a key level has two endings: it holds, or it breaks.
The leading asset decides which 👇
✅ Holds: the leader takes the draw and V-shapes back. The laggards never catch up.
❌ Breaks: the leader takes the level and just consolidates. The laggards are coming.
⚡ Catch-up: wait for the strength switch, then trade the laggard to the draw the leader already took.

The trading industry has become so toxic that we have forgotten what it means to be a mentor. Everyone is busy claiming credit and marking territory for better sales, when the whole point was to help the community become independent, profitable traders.
In this space, all of us have built our strategies from multiple sources. It starts with Munehisa Homma, who invented candlesticks and rarely gets any credit (and unfortunately cannot fight for it now; RIP to the legend). Then ICT, who has been the backbone of how we all read charts: FVGs, CISDs, SMTs and more. Then MMXM Trader, who taught us how to build a narrative around the market maker model and the new day model. None of us learned in a vacuum, and none of us owns these ideas.
So rather than spreading hate and threatening a new creator who is putting in genuine time and effort to help fellow traders make it in this profession, I would ask every mentor out there (or businessman, I am not sure which word fits anymore) to remember the actual end goal: a community of independent, profitable and prosperous traders, and better human beings.

"Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance."
I think one of the hardest things about trading is learning to recognise when you’re actually making progress and when you’re just keeping yourself busy.
You can spend years studying the markets, learning new concepts, analysing charts and convincing yourself that every new piece of information brings you one step closer to consistency.
But at some point, you have to ask yourself a difficult question.
Are you actually becoming a better trader, or are you just becoming more knowledgeable about trading?
Because those two things are not the same.
It’s easy to fall in love with the feeling of learning something new. It gives you hope. It makes you feel like you’re moving forward, especially when your results aren’t reflecting the amount of effort you’re putting in.
And that’s where things get dangerous.
Every losing streak makes you question your approach. Every time you see someone else succeeding, you start wondering if they’re doing something you haven’t discovered yet. Before you know it, you’re no longer focused on improving your own execution. You’re comparing, searching and constantly looking for a reason why things haven’t worked out for you.
The reality is that you can know exactly what you’re supposed to do and still struggle to do it. You can understand risk management, have a clear strategy and recognise high-quality setups, yet repeatedly make decisions that go against everything you’ve learned.
That’s when you need to look beyond the charts.
Sometimes the biggest obstacle isn’t a lack of knowledge or another strategy you haven’t discovered. It’s the gap between what you know and what you’re actually capable of executing when real money, uncertainty and emotions are involved.
And no amount of new information will automatically close that gap.
At some point, you have to be willing to slow down, confront your own habits and take an honest look at the decisions you’re making. Not the trades you wish you had taken or the results you hoped for, but the actual process you’re following every single day.
Because the longer you avoid that uncomfortable self reflection, the easier it becomes to mistake activity for progress.
Trading will eventually force you to confront the difference between the trader you believe you are and the trader your actions actually reveal.
And that realisation, as uncomfortable as it might be, could be the moment things finally start changing.
HTF Candles [Pro]
Making some changes, you can now see the last failed OB. in this case, you can see the price is stuck between a bullish and bearish OBs on the 15m
You should only be interested in getting involved in a MMXM if that model is supported above or below a HTF opening.
If you've entered a continuation from a sellside sweep above the HTF opening, you are liquidity.
Vice versa for buyside.
