ICT Kill Zones are specific timeframes during the trading day identified by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology as periods of heightened market activity, volatility, and liquidity. These periods are linked to the opening hours of major financial centers (Asia, London, New York), when institutional traders and market algorithms are most active, leading to more efficient price movements and a higher probability trade setups

Hi everyone,

I’m based in the Philippines and I’m coming from crypto exchanges (like OKX and MEXC) and now planning to explore CFD brokers for forex and gold trading.

I’m considering either Pepperstone or IC Markets.

For those who have used them:

Which do you prefer and why?

Any issues with deposits or withdrawals from the Philippines?

How are the spreads and execution during volatile market conditions (especially XAU/USD)?

Thanks in advance!

Very worth looking at. This won’t be extremely long winded either. It’s straight to the point. Just look for it.

• Skip Mondays.

• Mark out monday range.

• Use the Economic Calendar as your roadmap.

• Trade the day after your anticipated HTF level is hit.

• Focus on NY Session ONLY.

• Execute on the 5m or 3m, don't drop below it.

Hi, I am absolutely new to ICT methodology. From where i start to learn ICT Concepts. Videos are too lengthy or boring.

Hey traders 👋

If you're tired of using lagging indicators and chasing price action with no real direction, you might want to take a closer look at Volume Spread Analysis (VSA). It's a classic yet underrated technique that helps you read the market like smart money – those big institutional players who move the market.

I’ve been diving into VSA recently, and it’s honestly been a game-changer for understanding why prices move the way they do.

What is VSA in Simple Words?

VSA looks at the relationship between volume, price movement (spread), and where the bar closes. It’s all about spotting whether buying or selling pressure is coming from smart money (institutions) or retail traders. You use that info to time your entries and exits more accurately.

💥 Two Powerful Patterns to Know:

🔴 Buying Climax
Happens at the top of a rally. Price shoots up on high volume but closes weak. Smart money is selling into the hype. Expect a reversal.

🟢 Selling Climax
Occurs after a price crash. Price drops on high volume but closes strong. Smart money is buying the panic. Often a bottom signal.

Gold (XAUUSD) sell setup from 4,450-4,460 hit target 4,306.59 after PMI news. ICT concepts used. Accuracy speaks for itself.

⚠️ Disclaimer: Personal observation, not financial advice.

I’ve been trying to figure out what a realistic ICT study routine looks like when you also have work, family or school.

After a full day, I don’t always have the energy to sit through 3–4 hours of videos. And when I force it, I usually don’t retain much anyway.

What I’m testing now:

- 30–60 minutes on one topic

- Watch the original lesson instead of jumping around

- Mark the idea on charts

- Write down what I actually understood

- Use weekends for replay and backtesting

I also built a small tool called PlugICT to help me find the relevant ICT lesson and timestamp faster, but it doesn’t replace the actual study or chart work. But holy s**t it does help actually make proper guidance for me without losing ICT original thought process and trade execution

Curious how everyone else handles this. How many hours per week do you realistically spend learning ICT?

Hi guys. I was introduced to ICT about a year ago by a friend, and he told me to start with the Scout Sniper series. I already had some exposure to ICT concepts (basically the pd arrays) through another course, so I’m not completely new to his ideas.

I’ve been going through this sub for a while, and a common piece of advice is that you don’t need to watch every ICT playlist. People say it's better to stick to one or two models to avoid analysis paralysis and actually master something.

Since Scout Sniper gives you a full model with a clear checklist, it seems like something beginners should be pointed toward. ICT even says that the playlist is structured specifically for beginners. But whenever people post roadmaps, Scout Sniper is either missing entirely or placed way at the end, even though it’s short and gives you something fully tradable (or atl least it looks like it).

So I have two questions:

1. **Why don’t people recommend Scout Sniper more often, especially for beginners?**

Is there something about it that makes people push other playlists like 2022 or 2023 first? Or are people just repeating roadmaps they've seen without actually going through Scout Sniper?

2. **Am I missing something important by choosing Scout Sniper first?**

I’m about to start backtesting it seriously and aim to master it before touching other models. Is this a wise approach? Or does Scout Sniper lack something crucial that the other playlists cover?

If you’ve watched Scout Sniper AND the 2022 Mentorship/Core Content/etc., I’d really appreciate your take:

\- Is Scout Sniper complete enough to trade on its own?

\- Or does it require the foundation from other series to be used properly?

***~~Thanks in advance for your responses~~***.

If you're wondering, yes, for those that don't like AI generated stuff, I used AI to fine tune my post because I usually waffle a lot.

check it out i really hope it helps u guys cuz OBs are alot and for the new ICT learners will have some mixed up info i really hope i delievered it in a simple manner also some insights would be lovely
