Summary:

ICT outlines his teaching and content plan for 2023 and delivers strong guidance about how to learn to trade properly.

Main plans and format
– Daily short public market reviews on YouTube (Mon–Fri): concise pre/post-market notes explaining setups and next-day expectations.
– Two planned live tape‑reading sessions per week (morning, ~90–120 minutes): real-time chart annotation, commentary, and prompts to take screenshots. These will be observational—he will not place trades live to avoid front-running accusations or encouraging viewers to trade impulsively. Pre‑market analysis will be shared the night before. Sessions resume Feb 7, 2023.
– Focus markets: e‑mini S&P and e‑mini NASDAQ (he will comment on Forex but is no longer trading FX actively). Content is free; the “price” is the time and effort the student invests.

Teaching philosophy and goals
– Emphasis on mentorship, tape‑reading, and building experience. The objective is to make students independent: by the end of the year you should be able to read price, find the right market, and trade without relying on him.
– Quality over quantity: look for one high‑probability setup per week rather than overtrading. Beginners should not pursue daily high‑frequency trading—expect 1.5–2 years of development before attempting that.
– Use the economic calendar to frame opportunities; avoid trading ahead of major releases like CPI/FOMC (too one‑sided and dangerous).
– Core concepts to focus on: liquidity runs, fair value gaps, order blocks/breakers, market structure shifts, and multi-factor confluence—trade only when there is statistical/probabilistic support.
– Strong emphasis on risk management, discipline, and psychological control. Avoid impulsive “button‑pushing,” chasing funded‑account leaderboards, or copying social‑media hype. Small consistent gains (e.g., one contract, modest weekly handles) are preferable to risky overleveraging.

Behavioral warnings and industry critique
– He criticizes short‑cut courses, showmanship, and influencers who prioritize performance theater over transparency. He encourages recording full trade activity, honest live streams, and independent study rather than chasing fame.
– Personal anecdotes underline the cost of impatience, social‑media influence, and past mistakes; he urges humility, persistence, and realistic expectations.

Longer‑term plan
– 2023 will be his last major instructional year before scaling back in 2024. He plans to publish four books (three instructional, one fiction) and then reduce public content to focus on family and personal life.

Bottom line: commit time to tape‑reading, prioritize one strong setup per week, master risk and discipline, and use his live sessions to learn—not to copy trades.
