What should i learn

Hello trading community,

I’m already a bit beyond the absolute beginner stage, but I’d still consider myself fairly new to trading overall. Recently, I’ve been trying to move in a more specific direction and build a proper foundation instead of just jumping from strategy to strategy.

A lot of people recommended that I start learning ICT concepts, so I spent some time looking into them. But the deeper I get into it, the more unsure I become. Some parts seem interesting and useful, especially concepts around liquidity and market structure, but overall I’m starting to wonder whether ICT is actually worth focusing on long term or if I’m just getting lost in overly complicated ideas.

At this point, I honestly can’t really form a solid opinion on it anymore.

So I wanted to ask more experienced traders here:

  • What would you personally recommend a newer trader focus on?
  • What concepts or skills made the biggest difference for you?
  • Do you think ICT is worth learning, or would you suggest a different path?
  • And what’s the best way to actually study and improve efficiently without getting overwhelmed?

I’d really appreciate any honest advice or direction from people who have already gone through this stage.

Thanks a lot for your help!

Wich Timeframe should I use?

Dear Trading Comunity,

after Paper Trading i realised that the Wins i make are so small even if it was a really good trade i only make like 1 euro or like this( i traded in 1m time Zone and invested 200 to 1000). Now i think about focusing on other Timeframes, to make larger wins. What do you think?

Hey,
I’ve been getting more into day trading recently and wanted to share a bit of context behind two trades I took, mainly to get some outside perspective on my decision-making.

Before taking these trades, I spent quite some time going through discussions and posts from other traders, especially focusing on how people identify key levels, particularly daily highs/lows and how they align with higher timeframe zones like the 4H. A lot of the input I found emphasized that marking strong support and resistance areas and then looking for reactions around those zones is a solid base strategy.

So for both trades, my approach was roughly:

  • Identify 4H support/resistance zones
  • Mark recent daily highs and lows
  • Look for price reacting at those areas
  • Enter with a defined risk-to-reward setup based on structure

Trade 1 (USDJPY)

On this one, I identified a resistance zone on the 4H that had already been respected multiple times. My idea was that price coming back into that area could offer a short opportunity.

I entered slightly below the top of that zone, anticipating that the level would hold again. Stop-loss was placed above the resistance, and the take-profit was aimed toward the lower part of the range, near a support level that had been tested before.

At the time of taking the trade, I felt like the logic made sense structurally. However, looking at it more critically:

  • The market was ranging, not trending
  • My entry wasn’t exactly at the extreme high of the range, but somewhat inside it
  • There was still noticeable buying pressure, especially with the recent bullish push

The trade hasn’t fully played out yet, so I’m not really judging it based on outcome, but more on whether the location and timing of the entry were actually optimal.

Trade 2 (GBPUSD)

This one was a bit different. I was looking at a structure that had been moving down in a kind of channel, and I marked a resistance level above that had previously acted as a rejection area.

My idea here was to catch a move upward into that zone, so I entered long with the expectation that price would continue pushing higher and test that resistance. Stop-loss was placed below a nearby support area.

In hindsight, this trade feels weaker in terms of execution:

  • The overall structure was still not clearly bullish, more like a corrective move inside a broader downtrend
  • I entered before a strong confirmation, more based on expectation than reaction
  • The level above hadn’t been properly retested yet, so I was kind of positioning early
