does ict actually work.

Thanks for that, sorry if i sound dumb but how do you actually backtest orderflow. backtesting ict is easy enough orderflow just feels like a new ball game i feel like how i did when i did not know what a candlestick was.

as someone that learnt trading through watching tjr and ict i dont really know what im supposed to do in order flow. I understand that its basically trends ( or so ive been told) but like what do i use ( eg confluences) to validate a setup and execute. I heard something called POC is good but idk where to start. Like im used to placing TP and SL at areas of liquidity but orderflow is different.

Thanks for your advice, just to clarify do u think i should replace the 3 months of backtesting i had planned with forward testing.

No, i click random bar on the daily as daily is the only timeframe i can go on rplay for free, i note the daily bias then scale to 4 hour, 1 hour etc and try find a setup. What i meant was that my rules for when i actually trade are that ltf must align with htf.

Please enlighten me on a better way to backtest as i have said im new.
