What Nobody Tells You About ICT and Smart Money

ICT and smart money concepts aren't wrong — they're just not built for how long it actually takes most people to become profitable. In this episode, I give my honest, no-fluff take on why I walked away from smart money concepts (even after it paid out my very first prop firm account) and why I don't touch ICT at all, despite respecting what it's built on.I break down the core difference between being reactive and predictive in the market, why "institutional candlesticks" and supply/demand zones are really just orders in disguise, and why price action lets you preempt the market instead of waiting around hoping smart money shows up and pulls the trigger.We cover:Why smart money concepts leave you reactive instead of in controlThe problem with "institutional candlesticks" having no universal definitionWhy ICT is powerful but takes years most traders don't haveHow price action lets you predict moves instead of chasing confirmationWhy simplicity — not complexity — is what actually gets people paidIf you've ever felt like you're drowning in confirmations, zones, and conditions before you can even take a trade, this episode will show you a simpler way to think about the market.🔗 Everything else — coaching, Patreon, and more: https://linktr.ee/road2forexThe information in this podcast is for general information only.
