Frequently Asked Questions

ICT concepts (Smart Money Concepts) are effective, but the material is extremely dense. Many students find it easier to learn from a mentor who simplifies ICT concepts.
Copy Trading is investing, not learning. If you want to learn a skill, you must do the trading yourself. Read Copy Trading Guide.
Give it 3-6 months. If you see no improvement in your understanding (not necessarily profits), move on.
No. Unlike financial advisors, trading mentors need no license. That is why vetting them yourself is critical.
The market is the best mentor. It teaches you lessons every day for the price of your losses. A human mentor just translates the market's language for you.
