[Japanese completely lagging behind] Why do 40% of traders in the world use ICT?
“Another stop was taken out”
“Price retraced the moment I entered”
“Indicators are perfect, yet I can’t win”
— If you’re repeating experiences like this, you’re not weak.
What you know as the [classic path] is simply wrong from the start.
What everyone calls the [classic path] is simply wrong from the start.
Actually, there is a method that has become common sense among overseas FX traders now.ICT (Inner Circle Trader)This method, called ICT, has exploded in popularity mainly in Europe and the United States,and is said to have been learned or adopted by about 40% of foreign traders..
However,
in Japan—shockingly—hardly anyone knows about it.

the majority of Japanese traders are trading in a place entirely isolated from the global mainstream, relying on traditional indicators.
This is a serious situation.
Because the traders who “consume” Japanese orders in the market—
namely large players and overseas institutions—
are moving with an understanding of ICT’s underlying logic of “how price moves.”
