Learn the foundations of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT-inspired market analysis through a structured learning path.
Module 1: Market Structure
Learn swing highs and lows, uptrends, downtrends, Break of Structure (BOS) and Change of Character (CHoCH). Consider broader market context before drawing conclusions.
Module 2: Liquidity
Understand buy-side and sell-side liquidity, stop clusters, session highs/lows, and the limitations of liquidity-based interpretation.
Module 3: Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps
Study displacement, price imbalances, order-block zones, mitigation and invalidation. These ideas are analytical frameworks rather than guaranteed price behavior.
Module 4: XAUUSD Trading Plan
Combine higher-timeframe bias, session context, entry confirmation, predefined stops, risk limits and review of outcomes. Practice on a demo account before considering real-money exposure.
