Very good point here for those that dont think ICT is or was a profitable trader it is my opinion that it does not matter. Look at a head football coach for example. He puts together a play list of different strategies to use during the game. Now if he was to go on the field and try to execute these strategies he would get stomped. But he can teach his players to use them and then they will be executed hopefully successfully to win the ball game. Now it will not work everytime and that is okay. Then after they review the strategies after the fact they find what worked and didnt work to improve there game. What they dont do is after they lose the game start crying and say the coach is an idiot and dont know how to play. That is because he doesnât know how to play he is to old and fat but he does know the techniques to get into the winners circle and that is all that matters.
My point is he is just teaching techniques to get you to the winners circle but you have to successfully be able to use the techniques and realize that no technique is suitable for all situations in the market. Just like tools a saw is great but you cant paint a house with it and you cant cut some wood with a paintbrush. You have to know what tool to use and when. Also use logical tools. You can cut a wood board with a hacksaw but you are going to be there for a long long time and in the end is it worth using the hacksaw? No you would have been better off using the circular saw. Thats where strategy comes in.
That is all this guy tried to do when he was crucified by his people. He tried to teach you what a tool was what it did and how to use it but just because you now own a wrench and know what it is and how to use it that dont make you a mechanic. That takes time and experience and some will never become a successful thats just the name of the game. Some might take a long time while others learn to adapt quickly. But when you figure out you dont know how to use the tools you have been taught whos fault is that? It is not the teacher it is your fault. You didnt put in the time and effort to learn the tools well enough to know what you were doing with them and if you dont know what you are doing with these tools then you certainly will not be able to make a game plan using these tools. But that is not our fault. Its the man in the mirrors fault.
