Institutional Trading - SMC

Hello all.

After already a few years, more than 10 I guess, I have developed my own trading style which is a mix of all what I've learnt so far.

A part of that was my immersion in ICT and the smart-money trading concepts about three years ago more or less.

There are a couple of things that I have found and it is that:

- There is no quality content in Spanish language for smart-money trading.
- The ICT and related trading is very complex and difficult to find a good resource alternative to ICT itself. That is almost impossible in Spanish or I have not found it at least.

I took a decision and am creating a video-course on Youtube that is and will always be free of charge for watching it.

This is the link:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOO...Miiow/featured

The language is Spanish, but the auto-translate feature of Youtube allows to translate it to different languages such as English (adding subtitles).

My idea is delivering the necessary concepts that will allow anyone to create their own smart-money based technique and strategy end-to-end. Another goal is reducing the inherent complexity of institutional and ICT trading to the lowest possible, focusing only in the main concepts of swing trading applied to ICT and SMC. In this manner, the trader will be able to absorb the essentials and to create a working strategy with it provided he or she devotes the required effort and time to it.

I will eventually posting on this thread the links to the videos and will limit my comments here, since what I have to tell is already included on them. I mean, I won't be teaching here, just sharing contents and giving an introduction to each video. It is just that producing these materials requires already a considerable amount of time and, if I have anything to teach of what I share here, I will do it through these materials. Otherwise I would not have time for anything else

I cannot believe I have to add this warning. Anyone coming here to insult will be immediately blocked without prior notice. I can tell if any of my videos contain a topic that someone could not be able to apply or get success with, but uninformed, vague and irrelevant critic which only purpose is offending or creating agitation won't be tolerated. This must be a safe place for anyone coming here to participate.

Spam won't be tolerated obviously.

Enjoy it.

ICT is a fraud - his concepts are not worth sharing.

ICT is the best strategy I know by far.

The most accurate and effective I know.

The problem with it is that it is too complex and that it is usually taught very slowly and gradually.

But it is the best by far in my opinion.

You just don't know it. Putting a few ICT concepts together and expecting them to work is not the way in any case.

The proof of any trading concept resides in the results that it yields....ICT has not shown any verifiable results and instead has been hit with credible accusations of fraud year after year...Pivot Trading (Davit's System here on FF) is a real trading system with provable results and you wont be upsold to any signal services or mentorship programs.

Regarding ICT itself that is a part of the course I mention before.

First, please watch the damn course and then leave an opinion.

ICT is a set of concepts, not a strategy. Most people think that understanding what is an order-block or and OTE you can already trade.

Or that you may learn ICT in six months or one year. That is absurd.

ICT is an abstraction of an theorical perfect speculator and how it would be trading the markets. Like an online algorithm that knows future prices having a perfect control over the markets.

It is so powerful that once you learn it you will just think the rest of popular trading technicques are a joke.

Look, I am offering a free end-to-end complete course that does not require any paid extra to work an get 1:10RRR trades.

Take it or leave it, I do not have any interest in discussing about the gender of the angels.

Iof blah blah blah, take a look and then give your opinion. I am not here to prove anything on this forum to people I even don't know nor I care what they think about ICT.

Make yourself a favor and check the videos.

This answer will be extended to any other person coming here to discuss about ICT or Michael. I will just ignore it.

The course is free and you have the liberty to choose whether you wanna watch it or not.

But I do not care what is the opinion of anyone about anything, I really do not care nor want to make friends nor enemies.

Hi Scherzi,

You are sharing what works for you using the ICT concepts & If it is working for YOU that is ALL THAT MATTERS. You owe no one an any justification for why ICT concepts are working for you. Kind of you to take the time to record the video in Spanish & then share it. People can take a look at the video & either like it of leave it. Simple as that.

I wish you the best with the efforts your putting into learning the ICT way & the stating of you thread.

Best trade to you my friend.
________________________________________________

Yes, I am not reproducing the contents already released by ICT. I mean, I have to explain the basic concepts but my understanding of markets is slightly different.

And the approach is different as well. The videos are more oriented towards a specific trading model based on ICT and other concepts that extend that basis.

It is more like a trading bootcamp with an immediate practical approach.

However, it is true that months are usually required for anyone to understand and digest what it is shown there. Plus the time required to practice and put all the pieces together to apply it in a real-time market.

The chances of success for new traders are very low and the effort extremely high. That is the reality of trading. Every type of hype must be avoided and the expectations be kept to the lowest.

I really appreciate your words. Thank you.

Just to summarize, the course has these educational objectives to increase the trader's accuracy for:

1. Predicting market direction and future volatility.
2. Applying global and common principles for any of the major markets: FX, stocks, commodities, stock indices and cryptos. Others analogue apply.
3. Developing a professional attitude: Low leverage, small lot sizing, controlling risk and profit, understanding uncertainty, etc...
4. Cultivating patience to get extreme trades with risk-reward ratios 10 or 20 times above the standards.
5. Being able to trade any desired timeframe, from 5 seconds to 1 month.
6. Nothing from the ICT private mentorship is part of these videos. I respect Michael Huddleston and I would never reveal anything from his private mentorship.

Besides, the chapters already released contain information enoguh and examples, already, to allow anyone to create a full strategy and get these extreme trades. Not in a day or two, maybe not even in six months or a year; it depends on your previous knowledge. But for anyone already trading; from six months to one year at most should be a reasonable amount of time to complete the learning path.

Anyways, for me it is important that everyone understands that the system is complete, that no matter if I would have or not any other paid service elsewhere, my Youtube course is a free end-to-end tested system that would beat most of the traders out there. And that you have the opportunity of checking it since it is given to you free of any cost. You do not need anything else.

And that you can test it by yourself as I did spending thousands of hours in the past myself. I won't do that work for anyone obviously.

Now that it is clear, I won't repeat it (I hope) in the future.

This looks really good!

I will comment on Kin78 remarks it looks like he has not been trading very long and does not know enough about the markets to give a proper perspective of how they really work. He says that ICT has not shown any verifiable results and instead has been hit with credible accusations of fraud year after year...Pivot Trading (Davit's System here on FF) is a real trading system with provable results. Pivot point can work but that is not how the markets operate. This goes a lot deeper than that my friend. I would like to see your accusations you are making against ICT Trader. What he teaches is highly effective, look on youtube and see how many are teaching his concepts. Look on you tube and compare and see how many are teaching pivot point trading.

@scherzi
Thanks for sharing your knowledge and time.

The Market is all about orders and money not pivot points!

@forexholy @scherzi Don't bother to arguing with him, one day he will started to asking him self, who is really driving and creating price ? why is price runing from here to there ? Why is price do this/that ? Why and why and why ? Until he leave his strategy because is not working enymore, Then starting looking the truth by searching on the internet, because he hasn't reached that level yet,

1 Do not assume because I have been on FF for approximately that time that it equals to how long I have been trading - not a very wise assumption to make and a faulty premise upon which to base your argument.

2 The system I refer to (Pivot points) combines aspects of price action with market fundamentals. The Pivot points are only a guide

3 For what it's worth I have assessed, reviewed and tried ICT concepts for the better part of a year - they are a lot of flash but little to no bang. It wouldn't surprise me if you assume its because I am an unintelligent individual who just couldn't get it and ended up moving along to something else. For that I would say to you I tried out one other system

4 That so many people are out there teaching/promoting his content is not a true proof of how effective it is. The results are what matter.

5 Where are the results? I can show you results from other systems. Where are the ICT results?

The only question I keep asking myself is where are the ICT results? Why do none of the many people who are promoting this content cant show any results?

I patiently wait for the Tobias and Parson story.
