I have been studying forex on and off for about 7 years now, And nothing has created results like developing an understanding of TIME PRICE LIQUIDITY SENTIMENT ( AKA THE ICT OTE )
My learning and studies remind me of a statement made by a previous teacher in my martial arts training, "fighting, When it happens is going to come down to 1 or 2 moves that you know really well and can execute in the worst circumstances"
The brain seeks to understand and simplify things so that we can save our cognitive load, This is essentially the function of the Reticular activation system. Many mentors from all walks of life will teach this concept, And ICT mentions this time and time again in his series on Youtube, Train the brain to see what it needs to see.
I feel as humans, we overcomplicate processes, Turn them into rituals that are blown out of proportion and then worship them, This does not lend itself to success in my opinion.
For me, Forex is simply - Time, price, Liquidity, Logical sentiment direction. This creates the bias that allows me to pull the trigger without emotion.
Disclaimer: yes this is a demo trade, Yes this is a STUDY and share of knowledge for education and collaboration purposes, I have nothing to sell you.
simple example of the ICT OTE working within, And just outside of the NY kill zone, I had already taken a position of the market as seen in the MT4 DEMO account. the "live trade" was a re entry at a new valid level after I had "made my money" with a smaller position.
