Disliked{quote} 1 thing i understand in trading, is, no standalone tool will give you an edge. But by combining them in such a way that every tools you used point towards the highest possible price movement MAJORITY of the time, that gives you an edge over a significant number of trades. You will see no matter what you do, at the end of certain time, you always end with profits/losses for the mixture of the tools. Try to mix ICT or SMC with multiple timeframe Market structure, you will see when it is most likely to work and when not. You will also see,...Ignored
Technical analysis is primarily visual and proven over and over that it doesn’t work(plenty of empirical evidence out there, google it). Now you SMC and FVG, ICT users combine shit with shit. Result = shit, easy. The only reason TA works is because majority of people believe that at this price level - like you mentioned: multitimeframe SMc, FVG, or FIB, Moving average, pivots overlapped then it worked. Again only because majority of people at that point believed that price will bounce up/down and executed.
Basic supply and demand but it wasn’t because of SMC or FVG
I’m sure a lot of folks here will find more consistency in trading by looking at the education brokers provide and follow 4h/daily/weekly TF fibs/moving averages, std or similar shit than gambling with this SMC, ICT bs and being broke and sitting behind computer 24/7. It won’t make you rich because it’s elementary school “edge”. But might offer better life quality to pursue educating yourself in real science that might lead to an edge.
