More Important Than Win Rate! The Three Rules You Should Learn First in ICT
When you start learning ICT,
terms like "FVG," "Order Block," "Liquidity," "AMD," and "Sweep" suddenly increase to memorize.
Even when watching books or videos, new concepts keep coming one after another,
you often end up thinking, “I don’t know which one to memorize first.”
“I’ve memorized the terms, but I don’t know how to actually use them on real charts.”
This is a common stumbling point in ICT learning.
If you try to understand everything from the start, you’re prone to give up due to the sheer volume of information, and in actual trading your doubts can increase. Each time you memorize a pattern, your decision criteria multiply, and every time you look at a chart you become busy thinking, “I must check this and that.”
What’s important here is,
what beginners should first acquire is,
not individual methods, but the “way of thinking.”
This is the point.
Methods (FVG, Order Block, Sweep, etc.) are tools, so to speak. If you don’t have the foundation of when and how to use those tools, you’ll still get lost on charts even after you’ve learned the techniques.
In this article,
we will introduce three rules that everyone learning ICT should first master.
Even if you don’t memorize a single method name,
if you can keep these three in mind, you can greatly reduce unnecessary entries.
