What you'll learn

Everything in the ICT framework — in the right order

Most ICT learners fail because they learn concepts in isolation, out of sequence. This course builds the full picture layer by layer — foundations before strategies, structure before entries.
🏗️
Read market structure on any timeframe
HH/HL/LH/LL, BOS, CHoCH, and MSS — how to determine trend and bias before touching the entry charts.
💧
Identify every type of liquidity pool
BSL, SSL, equal highs/lows, inducement, PDH/PDL, PWH/PWL — and why each one is a potential trade target.
📊
Use PD arrays for precise entry zones
Fair value gaps, order blocks, breaker blocks, mitigation blocks — the exact zones where institutional orders sit.
🕐
Trade the right sessions at the right time
Killzones, macro times, the Silver Bullet windows, and the Asian range — when to trade and when to do nothing.
Execute complete ICT entry models
Model 1 London, Model 2 NY Silver Bullet, Turtle Soup, OTE entries — step-by-step from sweep to stop to target.
💰
Manage risk and size positions correctly
The 1% rule, lot size from account balance and stop distance, R:R calculation, and how to journal every trade.
Course curriculum

8 modules — beginner to advanced

How to get the most from this course

Study it the right way

This course is not designed to be read in one sitting. Each module should be absorbed before the next one is started.
1
Read the module in full first
Go through all lessons once without stopping to apply anything. Build the full picture of the module before going back to implement.
2
Apply it on historical charts
Open TradingView. Go back 6–12 months on the daily and H1 for EUR/USD. Mark everything from the module on historical candles — not live.
3
Take the module quiz
Each module ends with a quiz. If you score below 80%, re-read the module. Only move forward when the quiz passes.
4
Spend one week minimum per module
The concepts need time to become instinctive. Rushing from module to module produces knowledge without application. Give each module time on the chart.
5
Use the free tools alongside the course
The Killzone Clock, OTE Calculator, and Risk Calculator at /tools are built for the concepts in this course. Use them from Module 6 onwards.
6
Only trade live after completing Module 8
Do not put real money on the line until the full course is complete and you have a minimum of 4 weeks of profitable demo trading to show for it.

Questions

Frequently asked

Is this course really completely free?
+
Yes — completely free. Every lesson, every module, every quiz. No payment required, no email sign-up, no trial period. The only paid option on this site is the personal mentorship ($1,500/year), which adds weekly live sessions and direct trade review on top of the course content. The course itself will always be free.
Do I need any trading experience?
+
No. Module 1 starts from absolute basics — what a candlestick is, how to read price, what a swing high means — and builds progressively through to live execution in Module 8. If you already have trading experience, you can skim Module 1 and start from Module 2 (Market Structure).
What markets does it cover?
+
The ICT framework applies to all liquid markets. The course uses EUR/USD and GBP/USD as the primary teaching examples. Module 7 explicitly covers how to apply every concept to NAS100, S&P 500, Gold (XAU/USD), and how timeframe stacks differ between forex and indices.
How long does it take to complete?
+
Self-paced. The recommended approach is one module per week — completing the full course in 8 weeks. Some modules benefit from extra time on historical charts. Most traders spend 10–12 weeks including chart practice time. Do not rush.
What is the difference between the course and the mentorship?
+
The course is self-study — structured written lessons you work through at your own pace, entirely free. The mentorship ($1,500/year) is personal — 52 weekly live trading sessions, personal review of every trade you submit, daily bias analysis, and a Discord community. See the mentorship page for full details.
Can I use the free tools alongside the course?
+
Yes — and you should. The live Killzone Clock (Module 6), OTE Calculator (Module 7), and Risk Calculator (Module 8) are built specifically for the concepts in this course. From Module 6 onwards, open the relevant tool alongside the lesson.
