Psychology outweighs study volume in trading success.
  • Academics assume that more concepts equal better performance, but ICT’s own experience shows that psychology and risk‑management dominate.
  • The transcript repeatedly notes that “the more concepts we know… that does not work” because the market is driven by human and algorithmic behavior, not textbook knowledge.
  • Traders who ignore the mental side end up over‑trading, mis‑reading price, and burning capital.
  • Therefore, the first investment for any trader should be in self‑awareness, not in more video courses.
