When I first started learning about trading, I was constantly confused by information from different sources. Some advised using indicators, others - a clean chart, and some even claimed that successful trading is just luck. Over time, I realized that there are certain patterns behind the price movement, and began to search for information about Smart Money and Institutional Concepts. That's how I came across
https://forextester.com/blog/ict-trading, which explains in detail how large players move the market and which levels really matter. After studying these principles, I revised my approach, started testing strategies on history and realized why many of my past trades were unprofitable. Now I do not just follow patterns, but analyze how the market reacts to the actions of large participants, and this has given me a significant advantage in trading.
