3. Not following this material as I’ve laid it out may lead you down a longer, more difficult path to success. I say this for two good reasons. First, I’ve spent years mastering online research and have developed a strong ability to distinguish between false information and accurate data. I’m deeply knowledge-driven, and I firmly believe that knowledge must come before practice, because knowledge is power. Even today, I see people online who lack essential understanding and end up wandering in circles instead of taking a more direct, simpler path. By following the method I’ve outlined, you can avoid that confusion and move more confidently toward success. Of course, there are many teachers out there, each with their own style much like the various forms of Kung Fu that Bruce Lee studied and adapted. That diversity is valuable. I’m naturally curious, so I’ve studied many experts and approaches. Some of them are highly effective, but they demand specific skills— like being able to enter and exit trades with lightning speed. One well-known instructor, for example, sells his courses for thousands of dollars and even compares trading skill to playing a guitar at a masterful level. Then there are teachers who simplify the process, allowing you to trade the U.S. stock market for just three hours a day and still earn great profits. While that sounds really good, it still places limitations on how freely and flexibly you can operate. Ultimately, everything depends on the quality of information you have. The right knowledge, knowing what to do and when—is the most powerful tool you can possess. I’ve spent over 2,000 hours learning, researching, and distilling the most essential insights. My goal is to save you from getting lost in the dense jungle of the internet. Yes, there are many great teachers out there—some I may not even know—but what I’ve compiled here will give you a faster, clearer path to success. Why do I say all this? Because after living for many years relying on others—whether for guidance, support, or help—I finally told myself, “This time, I want to truly master something on my own.”I didn’t want to delegate it, hire someone else, or follow blindly. I wanted to dive in with full intensity and become genuinely skilled in what I do. Like a dedicated scholar aiming for excellence, I sought powerful, practical knowledge.

4. So I began researching everything I could about this field: stocks, precious metals, currency trading, crypto, U.S., London, and Asian time zones—when to trade, what to trade, who the key players are, which brokers are best, and much more. I left no stone unturned. I’m writing this for people I care about—and for anyone who has asked me for help. Let me share a story. When I was 20 years old, I met a man in a bar who left a lasting impression. He had long gray hair and wore light cotton clothing, he looked like a spiritual teacher or a wandering sage. I asked him, “Who are you, and what do you do?” He answered, “I travel the world.” Curious, I asked, “How do you survive? Do you have a job?” He shook his head. “No. I just know. Every now and then, I do something, and I have money.” Do you work for others?” I asked. “No,” he replied. “I just know a lot. That’s all. I’m not dependent on anyone. When I need to, I look at a newspaper, recognize patterns and opportunities, and act. I understand how the economy works.” I asked him how I could learn to do the same. He smiled calmly and said, “If you’re truly interested in this world, just learn. Observe. You’ll find out.” Then he walked away, and I never saw him again.

5. At the time, I was frustrated—I had hoped to speak with him again. At 20yo, I dreamed of traveling the world and working from my laptop. But life took another turn. I spent 25 years working in IT, built a business, had a few employees, and traveled quite a bit. Still, one thing has remained constant: I’m a self-taught researcher. I know how to dig deep and learn thoroughly. That’s what I do best. Now, when it comes to trading, I use two main systems that complement each other perfectly: Renko Charts– These help remove the noise and emotional turbulence from trading. With Renko, you’ll trade with calmness and clarity, almost like a meditative practice. ICT Strategy (Inner Circle Trader)– Paired with volume candlesticks on TradingView, this helps you understand and anticipate price movements with precision. To fully benefit from my approach, you will need access to TradingView. Without it, implementing my system effectively will be difficult. Here you can see a Tradingview Renko charts: It’s quite simple to understand and trade once you get the hang of it, and you can master this trading style within one month with focused effort.

6. This is ICT with Candlesticks Mastery this will likely take a few additional months—around three extra months, including the time to get comfortable with TradingView, and to build out your own chart layouts. But if you follow the guidance in this document through to the end, you’ll gain strong competene and confidence. Here is a good point to mention something, not everyone is the trader type of person, if you do not see yourself as a trader that is fine, you do not have to be one. However, if your goals include financial freedom, independence, supporting your family, or help making this world a better place perhaps through charity donations, community projects, or simply living life on your terms, then mastering this knowledge can absolutely help you get there. You can make a real difference in your environment. That said, use this knowledge wisely. Don’t boast or share it with the wrong people—those who might misuse it or take advantage of your kindness. It’s meant for those who are serious, intentional, and responsible. Keep it to yourself, learn it well, apply it, and use it to reach your highest goals. Surround yourself with trustworthy and honest people. Stay away from anything or anyone that doesn’t align with your growth or long-term survival. Support those who truly deserve your help. Don’t let yourself be discouraged by critics, many of them are simply projecting their own fears or envy, and they can slow down your positive progress. Flourish and prosper.

This will help you stay organized and avoid a cluttered inbox as you sign up for trading platforms, newsletters, and services. •Beginner TradingView tutorial: Watch here Sign up for a free TradingView account: •Visit tradingview.com and create an account. •To use Renko charts—which are essential for this strategy—you’ll need the Plus Plan, which costs $30/month. However, if you sign up using a valid credit card, you'll receive a 30-day free trial. At the end of this trial, TradingView typically offers a 50% discount, so you’ll only pay $15/month moving forward. Important: You must have TradingView with Renko enabled. You'll use Renko charts for trade entries and exits as explained in the Stop Hunter's YouTube videos. Required Video Lesson Watch this video from Travis Rose (Master the Market) — twice: Watch here Study Tip: Never Skip Words You Don’t Understand When learning, especially from videos or articles, do not bypass unfamiliar terms. If a word is unclear, look it up immediately then create 3 to 10 sample sentences using that word mentally. This helps the meaning stick and prevents repetitive lookup, which wastes valuable study time. The Real Reason You Might Lose Interest in Trading Losing motivation often has nothing to do with the subject being too hard—it usually comes from a build-up of unfamiliar vocabulary. Here's how you might feel during this process: •Your mind starts to wander off while watching the videos. You struggle to focus or absorb what’s being said. You become agitated or physically restless. •You experience mental blanks or brain fog. Your eyes might burn or your face feels tense. •You may even feel dizzy if you keep pushing through without addressing the confusion.

8. What started as curiosity and excitement can suddenly vanish. If you misunderstood words and keep going without clearing them up, you'll hit a wall. Eventually, you will give up, make excuses, criticize the subject or the instructor, and convince yourself and others that trading is too complex. skip over That’s how many trading dreams die. Don’t let yours be one of them. Take the time to build your understanding gradually, clear up confusions immediately, and stay consistent. That’s how real mastery begins. But if you do not give up, instead tell yourself that one time in your life you really want to be good at something, and quickly look up every word you do not understand, without arguing with yourself just doing it right away, you will be amazed the relieve you will feel as soon as the word is found and cleared, this sudden feeling of unwell will transform into joy, and you will never become tired and agitated in your studies, except overcoming your laziness to look up every word. But after a few days, you suddenly understand everything your coach says, even the most complex and advanced materials suddenly appear sunshine clear to you. You will feel like the whole field of trading is so easy to understand that even a five-year-old toddler can make this happen. So, it pays off very fast by doing so. Students who do not learn this, will fail in any subject they try to study, and this is the main reason for ignorance.

9. This is why teachers are often sabotaged by their students, nagged at, and talked about sarcastically behind their backs. It is ironic that the teachers who teach well, speak clearly, and ensure understands — even if they are strict at times — are often the most liked. Their students not only avoid falling behind but are also guided by these teachers to review and restudy the material, ensuring they fully understand everything. everyone Next Steps Then study all the material available here: ?Master The Market Bundle If you can't afford the course right now, don’t worry, purchasing the full bundle gives you a 50% discount.

It is important to know, that even if you learn stock knowledge learnt can be used for any other kind of asset like, Currencies + Crypto + Precious Metals – traded in form of CFDs, is best in my opinion, and you will find out why later, when you continue to study. Options (ist the most difficult for beginners and should be avoided by all costs), Crypto (is good, but not so easy to predict like Currencies, and has its own rules based on its set of rules), Precious Metals, ETFs, Commodities (Oil, Natural Gas) and Futures. Futures are good but, you will end up buying lots of extras to be able to trade them, like real time data feeds. trading, the No matter which asset you choose to trade, they all follow similar patterns, and you will follow this eBook in exact order.

16.

Huddleston, also known as the Inner Circle Trader (ICT). Who is ICT? Michael J. Huddleston is the original creator of Smart Money Concepts, a method used by professional traders to understand how the market truly works — beyond from what most retail traders learn.

19. My Trading Setup: Charts & Tools I Use Daily To help you trade like a pro, here’s a breakdown of the exact setup I use. These charts and tools work together to give a complete view of the market — from entry and exit points sentiment. 1.Renko Chart – My Primary Entry & Exit Tool This is the chart I use to make trading decisions. to market To understand how I use it, make sure to watch the Stop Hunter videos (shared earlier). It filters out market noise and gives clear entry and exit signals. 2.ICT Chart – Market Context Only I use my ICT chart to get a sense of what might happen next, but I don’t use it for actual trade entries or exits. It’s mainly for big-picture analysis, based on Smart Money Concepts. 3.Market Sentiment Window This tool helps me find possible price reversals. When price enters the green or red sentiment bands, it often signals a reversal. Used alongside the Renko and ICT charts for confirmation. ?Pro Tip: I trade using the symbol XAUUSD from FXCM for CFDs on TradingView. Why? Because it matches the price on Tradelocker, preventing any price discrepancies between platforms. Using other XAUUSD sources may give you different pricing, which could confuse your trades. I also use AlgoPro, a premium trading indicator suite similar to LuxAlgo, but more affordable. Lifetime License: Around $200 one-time. The monthly subscription is cheaper if you're just testing it. Learn how to use AlgoPro here: AlgoPro User Guide

20. AlgoPro is known for its Market Matrix system, which helps you analyze trends, volume, and potential reversal zones — all in one place. A great tool if you want to enhance your strategy with pro-level analysis. And for the Bullish / Bearish Trend table you see at the top left of window 2, I use this form AlgoPro Reversal Suite: Learn how to use AlgoPro here: AlgoPro User Guide On the next screen, you see a trend window split into 4 Renko charts. Top left is set to the 4- hour timeframe, top right is set to the 15-minutes, bottom left is set to the 5-minutes time frame, the bottom right is set to the 1-minute time frame. So you can see exactly the trend of XAUUSD. I also set the indicators DMI and All Chart Patterns into the lower right window. TRADINGCLOUD7
