If you didn’t know, the ATAS Heatmap is completely free to use, even on the free plan. You can download it from here and test it yourself at no cost. They’re also currently offering a chance to win 30 days of access to all Pro plans if you submit a video review of the platform.
Have you ever wondered why this so-called “order flow world champion” has no verified students? He has been selling mentorships and courses for over five years, yet there isn’t a single publicly confirmed student result. Not even one. That feels unusual, doesn’t it? The complete absence of any verifiable feedback raises fair questions.
At this point, it feels like mostly influencers are promoting DeepCharts, possibly because they receive it for free in exchange for promotion. Meanwhile, you can access a complete order flow toolkit for around $65 with ATAS. The contrast makes the situation hard to take seriously.
Most people lack critical thinking, and that’s a big reason why 90% fail in this game. They simply repeat what they hear instead of thinking for themselves. It’s no different from how even the creator of Sherlock Holmes once believed in the Cottingley Fairies.
A complete game changer in terms of performance, time to ditch Bookmap. I am glad I already did.
My other post about how I save $200 per month with trading tool.
I’ve noticed there are plenty of tools available now, and many people have even built their own versions. I’d love to hear which ones you use. I’ve also heard from others that some platforms show inaccurate data, so I’m curious about your experience.
You watch your favorite content creator and believe what he says and shows. But in reality, he is only showing what he wants you to see. You see the big wins. You don’t see the losses, or you see only a carefully edited part of them. This creates a false picture that exaggerates the wins and hides the losses.
There are many ways this illusion is created in the trading industry. I’ll make another post on that if you’re interested. Understanding this alone can save you a lot of time and money.
Cherry-picking is one of the most common tactics. They show only the best trades they took, never the full picture of all the trades they didn’t.
There is little value in watching this kind of content. Trading is not a science where a single example guarantees the same outcome every time.
They can show you a perfect setup: price comes to a key level, clean absorption appears, buyers get aggressive, and the trade delivers a 1:5 risk-to-reward. But how do you know if that setup actually has an edge over hundreds of trades? You don’t. You assume it does because your favorite creator says so.
That’s why I tell people to learn the fundamentals from the right sources. After that, the real work is yours: spending time in the market, taking trades, and gaining experience.
They have affiliate commissions and mentorship programs to pay their bills. You don’t.
You think watching their content is helping your trading, but often it’s hurting it. You start picking up their bad habits and believing the narrative they feed you.
If you don’t develop the ability to question what you see, you won’t survive in this game. Learn to ask the right question and to the right people.
Good luck. I hope you improve and make it.
