ICT Trades
I've never followed any of ICT's "teachings" because it didn't agree with what I already am doing.
Study his recent trades, they make no sense to me...
And too much leverage for a 5K account, if that's what he is truly basing it off of, based on the 5K to 1 million challenge.
A good trader would never let their % equity curve drop like that...
I think ICT would have been better off not doing this challenge and continuing to fool thousands of traders trying to learn.

I'm not trying to bash the guy, but it's more of a "warning" for others that are following him.
I only looked at his recent trades and they were really bad trades IMO.
In all fairness, it's still too early to jump to any conclusions but from what I have seen so far, I don't think he is as good of a trader as he and others think...
If he was such an experienced trader than his discipline would be rock solid and he is breaking his own rules that he set.

"I know that he knows technical analysis... "
I'm sure he knows a lot about trading, I've read some of his posts in the past and I could sense that.
It's like someone wanting to learn how to run a business and going to school at a good business college. Those professors are mainly there because they couldn't make it in the real world, so they were left with the option of teaching concepts out of a book.
When that student graduates from the business college, they have a lot of business knowledge and concepts but lack the real world experience to put it to use.
I think ICT just doesn't have the actual live trading experience that he says he has (I thought I saw 15 years somewhere!) and everyone inflated his ego up at babypips and he probably started to believe he was better than he was.
Just my opinion. Looking at his recent trades, NO PROFESSIONAL TRADER WOULD TRADE LIKE THAT! Period.

I agree with everything you mention......apparently he's doing it to teach a lesson?? Hard to believe that
He's a FUND MANAGER too Many on the internet talk a good talk...most fall over when it comes to walking the walk..
