SMC vs ICT: What Every Trader Must Know
Understanding the Difference Between SMC and ICT
Key Concepts and Definitions
- The speaker introduces a question comparing SMC (Smart Money Concepts) and ICT (Inner Circle Trader), explaining that SMC is a simplified version of concepts derived from ICT.
- ICT refers to the methodologies created by Michael Huddleston, which include order blocks, liquidity, and fair value gaps; these are foundational concepts in trading.
- The discussion highlights how traders have modified and simplified these concepts over time, leading to various terminologies like "breaker block" or "mitigation block," but emphasizes that the market focuses on execution rather than names.
Execution Over Terminology
- The speaker stresses the importance of executing trading concepts correctly instead of getting caught up in whether SMC or ICT is superior; practical application is key for success.
- A recommendation is made for traders facing funding issues to consider using funded trading firms like FundedFriday.com, which offers instant funding accounts with promotional discounts.
