Exposing ICT and his concepts once and for all. This took 3 months.
Video Overview & Insights
"Inner Circle Trader" (ICT) is the most popular guru in trading with the most extensive and detailed history of failed trading accounts and absolutely insane claims. Don't believe me? Almost everything in the video comes directly from ICT himself. I did that on purpose, so nothing can be denied.
It got so much worse after I released this:
- He livestreamed taking real trades and exposed his inability to trade - https://youtu.be/qbA54WkBBs4?si=MXL74duSl9db86mY
- he also failed the 2024 Robbins Cup going -91% | https://youtu.be/CGD630xxH2E?si=9q2BaQNrtvkkNINu
- 30:26 for proof that the concepts don't "work"
- 8:02 Proving that ICT's backtesting is atrociously flawed. Just completely ignores when it doesn't work. It's so bad.
This video isnât up to interpretation; everything is true with sources to all facts.
Sorry to the haters, but here's a big update for me. Since August of 2024, Iâve been getting consistent payouts from funded accounts. Nothing massive, but money is money (crossed +10k in payouts in February of 2025). ImanTrading.org is still 100% free as it always will be - beginner guide, best prop firms, and my trading strategy. Nothing to buy. Stop paying for things. Prop firm information at the end is out of date; go here https://www.imantrading.org/prop-firms
Everything you need to learn can be done for free - trading guides and prop firm reviews at https://www.imantrading.org/
I have MANY prop firm payouts, but I'm not a trading-guru who sells courses or a mentorship like ICT. See the best firms ranked and compared here (and discounts) - https://www.imantrading.org/prop-firms
His comments are on now, go watch his last video and comment, Friday July 26,2026s video will reveal even more about #ICT

Want to see some real trading? Subscribe. No, im not a millionaire, Im growing a small personal account but its real trading. I took a 100 account to 3500 in 1 and half month. I did not start with 100. I almost blew my 1K account but I had to grow it from a low of 100. That is 3400% PLUS gains!

I started learning trading 3 months ago i dont care about these shits i only take the concepts that works and make sense for me and combine one by one to make my edge every concept i read i combine it go test it if it works i keep it if dont i throw it
0:00 I predicted ICTâs response (not kidding, he did this after)
0:22 Photoshopped statements (actual fraud)
Broker psychos are so adorable
0:57 (admitting) making more money from teaching than trading
1:30 ICTâs actual trading performance
The end is so cring, its almost unbearable, omg, wow, wtf....
2:11 âPrecisionâ and âcalling price to the tickâ
2:45 Hiding real trading performance and more hypocrisy
"Insane clown team"
3:37 How to fool people into thinking you can trade
4:03 Robbinâs Cup failures , âIâm a fraud if I do not winâ
You know what this guy is odd. A true psycho wouldnt do the robins cup or anything. I wonder if he just was frustrated with trading and went insane. I mean its strange and not purely psychopathic. A fraud perhaps but not entirely psycho.
4:45 Sim account main
5:14 âI can show you my two Lamborghinisâ
The reality is no trading set up works. The edges in the the risk management, not the trade set up.
5:40 iTâs AlL fOr FrEe!!!! Millions from mentorship and YouTube ad revenue
6:27 ICT was poor until AFTER his paid mentorship
I knew him 15+ years ago on Babypips.He was exposed even then. He challenged me to a 5k challenge, and busted in a week.
7:10 ICTâs book-release meltdown
7:52 Charity fraud!
its sad that 90 percent of traders fall for fake gurus
8:02 PROOF he teaches through invalid âbacktestingâ (exposes everything he does)
11:37 Literally admitting to teaching you to do flawed backtesting
"I make millions and millions and millions dollars trading on my demo account." Shit, what a flex.
12:25 Why youâre great at backtesting but failing at trading
13:55 AttentionâŚ
i could actually deal with the fact that he's such a fraud if he didnt make all those sounds with his mouth all the time. makes me wanna vomit
14:34 ADMITTING to being banned for sockpuppeting on babypips (online forum)
14:56 Sockpuppeting, lies, hypocrisy, excuses, YouTube comments, fraud
ok but did your cat meow? Cause I need a good signal today
16:18 Intro to ICT concepts and his algorithm âEnigmaâ
17:05 ICTâs recruitment tactic
Ict is dogshit
17:33 Claiming to have the holy grail of trading
17:49 Delusions of grandeur, admittance to bipolar disorder, donât misinterpret this
My winrate is around 83-87% But i am so lazy to teach. People nowadays wants easy and fast things.
19:08 ICT HEARS GOD, GOD SPEAKS THROUGH HIM, CRIES
20:35 ICT blowing 2 accounts during the 2018 mentorships
Thats why i love Oliver Velez, the real trader.
20:47 Unreal (but real) - reading ICTâs âTobias and Parsonâ story
22:57 Admitting to manipulating people
Just like the guy who invented the wave theory. Never made much money on trading. Most made from books and lectures.
23:27 Proof that he is a cult leader and is aware of it
28:47 Proof that ICT concepts donât work
Thanks what a great expose of a truly needs to be avoided so called trader
34:31 âProfitableâ ICT traders
35:43 âI can show you examples of ICT concepts workingâ
So basically what you are saying is ICT is a genius far greater than Einstein?Fooling so many people and talking shit while he is doing it and they follow him still?He knows every thought everyone is thinking at any moment in time.He must be a genius master psychology analyzer or just lucky
36:00 âICT made me better at tradingâ
36:23 Your copium/excuses for facts that make you upset
"Smart money concepts are just a lens to see price action through" + "discretion" There are no magic bullets in life (trading or otherwise). You have to learn, do, fail, fail better.
36:47 Most logical ICT cult member
39:21 Most coherent ICT moments (barely edited, not kidding)
Its crazy how many fake ass people in the trading
Risk disclosure: Futures and forex trading contains substantial risk and is not for every investor. An investor could potentially lose all or more than the initial investment. Risk capital is money that can be lost without jeopardizing onesâ financial security or life style. Only risk capital should be used for trading and only those with sufficient risk capital should consider trading. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results. Information in the video and the video's description is accurate as of the date of the video's release, but it's not guaranteed to be accurate after that.
So who is actually worth following because thatâs the real questionâŚ..
More User Perspectives
i unfollowed him last week lol he is unhinged
@gomuluffy3163"Crowd confirmation biases creating a reinforced sense of truth about manipulated falsehoods"... aah man, i wish the left wing were far enough across the first half of the bell-curve x axis to understand that
@_JamChopI do believe that algorithms do the run the markets and news data is fed to it...But ICT saying tht god gave him that knowledge and stuff like that is hilarious and doesn't make logical sense.
@sanjanagamage925I do wanna say that NOT anyone can make money over 1 month not even a week.
@5INCOFFICIALSYes ict is a scammer
@ckkichuyt4451I thought that mofo disappeared online but seems like he's still creating videos. I never heard of him until the last few years but now his concepts have corrupted the internet and AI LLMs.. I despise this fraud but inspired by his marketing genius.
@donnys9259Nothing screams "confident rich guy" more than screaming "I'm a millionaire, I made milions of dollars"
@bioswat96I paused on the Tobias and Parson story and, while the content is different, it sounds exactly like someone who has experienced frequent manic episodes. I have a friend who started to believe he'd invented perpetual motion to make electricity and that all it would take is two trains running around the planet at specific timing. He tried to contact several large YouTubers to get his idea out there and when they didn't respond he claimed it was because they were against the truth. He ended up in a psych hospital because he was having a mental break.
Another friend fully believed that the cartel had taken out a large life insurance policy on her and were coming after her for it. She was hiding in a hotel room from them. Also that her phone and Mac had been hacked through the wifi (apple store found no issues and completely reset both devices.) Again, someone experiencing an episode with their bipolar diagnosis.
That's exactly what that Tobias and Parson story reads as. It's unhinged, grandiose (they wanted me because I had their secrets), and if you read it it contradicts itself (why would they give secrets to this random schlub? Why would they repeatedly let him access their secrets knowing he was publicly sharing?)
Overall it's upsetting how charismatic some of these people can be to sucker others into buying into their bs (and courses.)
So ICT is basically the DarksidePhil of trading.
@user-qb4on2qm7zyou sound like daily dose of internet
@biakcuang703120:30 đđđ sorry you had to deal with that
@LoremFaiyaz-e5vI 13:30 I love how they say Algo forgetting the fundamentals
@LoremFaiyaz-e5v11:03 dies again đđđđ
@LoremFaiyaz-e5v24:05 u killed me bro đ
@notasupernovaAnother fine Christian.
@ZuringaNew trader here, I started researching ICT's concepts because I got the impression that these were fundamental to modern trading and the source for a lot of terminology I kept hearing.
Thanks for this video, I'm so glad I don't have to try and sit through his long ass boring videos. This guy is a whackjob.
just imagine that, I found him back in the days of atlas trading.
@avs_4uTraders like mamba, always win, yo can see it â¤
@AgusPremiumVipICT=i cant trade
@multiwonderrryou guys are missing the point of ictâs backtesting.
As you go back and annotate historical data that has already happen, and through diligence and shear journaling, you will soon realize that you can cherry pick and fake results then sell YOUR OWN course for money.
23:58 sounds like some shit from GTA lmaooo
@AT33289So who are the real profitable people we should listen to thereâs so many fakes
@CedDidit22:41 This is either him being a pathological liar, or him suffering from some sort of delusion of persecution, at least in my very much unprofessional opinion
@CooksumtradesBro by watching your channel i got depressed now Man, What you are advocating that this means No One Can Become Profitable In Trading Ever...
@HarveySpecterXI dont even think there is a cult, i think the cult is just 1 million indians paid 1 dollar each to promote the guy
