I'm going to say something that most of trading Twitter will hate me for, and I genuinely do not care anymore.
if you are a beginner trader, the single best thing you can do right now is close this app, close YouTube, and stop trying to learn technical analysis
not "learn less" stop completely
every hour you spend watching someone draw lines on a chart is an hour you could have spent placing a trade and actually learning what it feels like to have money on the line
the screen time is making you worse, not better
more knowledge does not equal more profit, it equals more hesitation
trading has two buttons, buy and sell
your only job is to press one of them, manage the risk, and learn from what happens next
that's the whole game
but that message doesn't make anyone money, so instead you get ICT concepts repackaged twelve different ways, prop firm affiliates telling you evals are "tuition," and influencers who make more from your confusion than they've ever made from a single trade
so here's my new policy
if your account exists to promote ICT, shill prop firm evals, or spray affiliate links everywhere, you're getting blocked on sight
I'm done pretending that stuff is harmless
it's not harmless, it's an industry built on keeping beginners trapped in a cycle of paying and losing
Stop learning and start doing
The chart is free!
The lessons are in the execution, not the education.
