30th Anniversary as ICT | November 6, 2022

Summary of ICT’s Twitter Space (key points and main ideas):

– Main theme: trading is mostly a psychological battle. Technical entries and strategies are plentiful, but the real reason many fail is emotional bias, ego, unrealistic expectations, and poor personal habits.

– Practical trading advice:
– Give yourself permission to be wrong; losses are inevitable and must be planned for.
– Cut “dogs” quickly—use strict stop-losses and time-stops (30–60s when a setup isn’t showing speed/distance).
– Take partials on winners, roll stops to lock profit, don’t overleverage or chase size for image.
– Focus on small, consistent “bread-and-butter” gains (e.g., low weekly targets like 1–2%) rather than Olympic feats.
– Journal fears and behaviors, replace negative self-talk over time.

– On students, mentorship and public image:
– Many trainees struggle because they prioritize ego, social media image, or try to shortcut the process.
– Exclusivity (private mentorships, signal services) can be abused; ICT plans to be more public but will avoid undercutting students running paid services.
– He may run live “Price Action Chronicles” sessions showing market navigation (not issuing buy/sell signals).

– Personal/psychological counsel:
– Remove toxic relationships and outside opinions that drain attention and fuel insecurity.
– Trading behavior often mirrors personal life issues (loneliness, need for approval); fix the root causes.
– Consistency, discipline and pruning bad habits are what create long-term profitability and wealth.

– Perspective and resilience:
– Success takes years; expect hardship, take breaks when needed, but persist and learn from mistakes.
– ICT shares personal anecdotes (family, early struggles) to underline humility and perseverance.
– He’s pragmatic about macro risk (prepping, owning real assets) and believes markets will keep running until a full systemic collapse.

Closing: focus on process, not image; build disciplined habits, manage psychology, protect capital, and pursue small consistent gains to become consistently profitable.
