No he can’t apply those principles to himself and his approach. If he took his own advice he wouldn’t be facing grief or the kind of conspiracies he faces even after leaving the forums. And everything he’s written is half-baked, there’s nothing to learn from there, atleast in that one post.
Like this guy he has people crying about some long forgotten event to dredge up his relevance in these forums. No one should care of about happened over 10 years ago, yet people who follow him keep bringing it up to keep him relevant, with unsubstatiated claims to boot. Specifically:
- Claim ICT was profitable - No evidence
- Claim all those critical of him were unprofitable losers - No evidence
This would be a huge waste of my time. The problem with egomaniacs like this is that they spend an unbelievable amount of time talking about themselves to make the rest of the conversation unbearable. They reek of insecurity. You should hear proper traders speak. People like Kathy Lien, Linda Raschke, Tom Hougaard or Brad Gilbert (Traders4Traders).
Here’s Linda Raschke’s youtube channel for context:

Edit: In case you don’t know who Linda Raschke is, she was interviewed in Jack Schwager’s Market Wizards and BP conducted an interview with her a while back. When you hear traders like this share their ideas you understand what a waste of time people like ICT are:
Edit2: I can see and understand why folks would find what he writes profound or knowledgeable if they were new to trading. And that’d make sense when you first step into trading, lost and confused looking for direction. What he says and writes starts to pale in comparison once you start reading good trading books or listen to good traders speak though.
