I'm not trying to pick on ICT. I'm trying to coach you to understand his work better. When ICT talks anything outside of specific IPDA/technical analysis it's in your best interest to tune him out. NO I don't mean religion obviously, or topics you're interested in. I mean his rants OR when he allows paranoia to seep into his analysis. You need to be very, very careful it doesn't creep into your subconscious. Out of his decade plus of price action calls I think a great example of this is the October 15 and 22, 2023 live streams. I encourage you to watch these and annotate your charts and pay close attention to the "if, then" portions of his analysis. It's these case studies and other anecdotes where I don't actually believe it's so much "his analysis" as it is him trying to put you into the viewpoint of an advanced trader. A profitable, good trader. But one who still looks at the news, listens at the water cooler at work. Doom scrolls Reddit/X and lets that seep into their subconscious. If you just trusted your analysis, it's another profitable week. If you allow the paranoia of the Doom and Gloom™️ Media to creep in then you missed out on another standard week of trades. So that's why I say it's one of two things: 1.) ICT is trying to put you in the position, through his narration, of an advanced trader who isn't quite seasoned but is well on their way or, 2.) ICT just sometimes let's his paranoia eat away at his decision making In either case it's YOU who clicks the buttons. ICT helped code/coded IPDA/mastered price action/whatever your believe. That makes him a subject matter expert for THAT. Not geopolitics. Not health. Not engineering. Not law. Not war. Not disease. All that shit is an ICT lesson in disguise, obfuscation, or his Achille's heel. So then learn the technical truths of price action, not the possible opinions of a man.
