SMC - Summit Midstream Corporation 0 WATCHERS

I treat ICT as an extension of SMC. It simply describes how institutions and algorithms operate. You still need to create your own strategy based on it. For me, it works most of the time as long as I get the daily bias right based on HTF structure. I use …

TJR is a proven fraud. So is ICT, or probably any other 3 letter acronym. Study price action & market structure from a variety of diverse sources. Stay away from SMC/ICT stuff

TJR's guide is popular, but also check out The Trading Channel, ICT (Inner Circle Trader), and SMC (Smart Money Concepts) for diverse perspectives on day trading

i say this all the time but get downvoted by unprofitable traders telling me im stupid but heres what worked for me. I watched a ton of youtube ICT SMC traders till i found two that i thought explained things very well then paid for their mentorships. From very little …

Following someone else’s strategy won’t work. You need to build your own. I’ve tried more proven strategies than I’m willing to admit including order blocks, ICT, SMC, MACD, supply/demand, breakout systems, mean reversion, you name it. Every time I copied someone else’s strategy it fell apart the moment the market …

Start with the basics, focus on one strategy at a time, and practice with a demo account - SMC and ICT are complex, try mastering support/resistance and price action first

Divergence trading works, but it’s less popular because it requires patience, context, and a solid read on momentum not just following a trending strategy. It’s most effective when you combine it with structure or key levels, rather than treating it as a standalone signal. If you stay consistent and refine …

ICT and SMC are bullshit. They're basically a "rebranding" YouTubers made of established price action concepts like Auction Market Theory, Wyckoff, Supply and Demand/order Blocks, Dow's law and similar. All concepts known for a century to those who study finance. If you want a suggestion for a simple but working …

Those numbers are impressive but unusual for SMC trading. The combination of 65-85% win rate with 3-6RR is extraordinary - most successful traders face a tradeoff between win rate and RR. With discretionary trading, maintaining both high win rates AND high RR long-term is challenging due to market adaptations and …

Divergence trader's ? How come there are not so many people using this approach in the market? Is it so wrong that we are dwarfed by the amount of their strategies online, like SMC, ICT, Orderflow traders, I mean, here on Reddit, the main one recently has been a guy …

Winrate and RR in trading So I daytrade, I trade SMC, I have been backtesting (Given its backtesting and not live and also its not the biggest sample) but It seems I've manged to achieve a highish winrate id say on the low end 65% - 85% winrate and still …

Wow. Literally no one on here knows what they are talking about or they just came to shit on SMC. Thats hilarious. Its an inverse fair value gap (price didnt hold and continue the move). A valid FVG would be the second one on that up move where price tested …

Casper SMC mentorship program I know, all the info I need to be successful is online but as a newer trader the one on one mentorship and live trade calls would be of great interest. For those of you who are actually in the mentorship program - was it worth …

I’d say the one thing most people miss is this: Your edge isn’t the concept – it’s your ability to execute one simple idea the same way for hundreds of trades. A few things that clicked for me: • Pick one market + one basic idea. e.g. “trend-continuation after a …

As you've rightfully put it, most (retail) traders follow ICT/SMC concepts and most (retail) traders lose money... What can we deduce from that equation? 🤔

What is something every trader should know? Everyone has an edge in the market and most people follow the same concepts (ICT, SMC etc.). However, there is always room to improve, even for experienced traders. What is something you consider every trader should know?

I've spoken with many professional instituional traders in the most random places ever, at an event, at a wedding, in a café, in my job, I meet them all the time, and they all tell me the same thing: it's just numbers on the screen, billions do not mean anything, …

I know people are gonna disagree about this comment. That's fine... In my opinion, I disagree with how most people see journalling. For the most part, ***journalling trades*** is a complete ***waste of time***... Let me explain... If you have a profitable system, it's very easy to tell if it's …

6 Years of Silent Work — My Strategy Finally Paid Off I’ve been building this strategy quietly for the last 6 years. No shortcuts, no signals, no copying anyone. Just endless nights of backtesting, failing, tweaking, and learning everything about market structure — FVGs, liquidity sweeps, order blocks, and how …

The more it is restricted, the less chance it has to come back but the better the RR, yes. Reminder : You create a demand zone by understanding Market structure. You take the Break Of Structure (BoS) that I noted, and you have …

This post should be used at the beginning of any SMC course.

Gullible newbie here Hello friends! I’m a newbie, currently in the paper-trading part of my trading journey. I have a lot of questions, so sorry if these have already been asked a million times, but I’m just gonna put them all here. I don’t want to do this to get …

It's not a level, it's a zone. Your stop needs to be further away/deeper into the zone you have marked out. Or, you know, stop using ICT/SMC. It's not how things work. Learn support/resistance and supply/demand zones.

Is ICT a scammer and SMC's a lie? I started trading on february this year using what this inbreed was calling "Supply and demand/ICT SMC."... We obviusly were scamed while trying to made quick money on a payed course. I practiced that strategy wich was simple patern recognition and almost …

I would suggest learning Smart Money Concepts (SMC) on higher timeframes (daily, 4-hour). It's a much better fit for your situation. SMC on higher timeframes provides more reliable signals and gives you plenty of time to plan trades without needing to be at your desk every minute. It also helps …

Go soley off the name....RIM, WTF, SMC...all off what it means during texting conversations
