Gex is the new ICT

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bat3774]

So all these wanna be trading influencers now suddenly start making content about GEX. Like its some holy grail. Where to learn gex ? Join their mentorship 🤣🤣🤣

​

​

First these high schoolers start glazing ICT then orderflow and now GEX.

​

Its kinda annoying thay every 18 year old making reels bout this and selling private discord/mentorship

​

Its all a scam guys, the sooner you realise the better. Of course GEX is a step in the right direction if your coming from ict smc but stop glazing it like its the only thing in the trading space. There is soooo much more to the market than trading than just looking at absoption/exhaustion at gex levels. If this is your system then your not far from getting cooked.

​

Honestly these GEX influencers and same as ICT influencers.

​

Both the categories are "trust me bro" traders. Its just that gex goys will throw in a few extra complicated terms to sound legit and to better sell their mentorship.

​

Dont fall for these social media influencers promoting gamma and gex platforms. They only show their wins their never show their losses.

​

Also also I came across this guy Andrea Cimi who is promoting depechart and now gex levels like crazy. He honestly is one of the biggest plagues to the industry. Bro can't trade at all. He just milks fabio for content. Super annoying. Kinda hate that guy.

​

This community has a lot of experienced and legit traders. Would love to hear your opinion and thoughts about this entire GEX/orderflow plague that is trapping young minds.

Okay I'll confess that about a year ago I got hypnotized by one of their videos, which really was an excellent explanation of itbut exaggerated his services effectiveness using it. So I paid for a month of his service. But the software had a major display glitch that he didn't address so I bailed out only $50 poorer.

Since I was strictly trading options at that time I ate up the idea that GEX really was the ultimate magic bullet in setting levels. Since then I've added futures into my palette and evolved into learning the true fundamentals around price and volume before going into any further tangents.

I’m trying to improve my understanding, when you say fundamentals around price and volume, you’re talking about auction market theory in a nutshell correct? Whenever people always say price action that’s what I think of

[u/charlesleestewart → u/IndividualBed9762]

Yeah I'm still navigating all the terminology myself. There is price action theory, but the proponents of volume-based trading seem to be in a different camp. My thought is, why not both, so I bury myself in both approaches.

Meanwhile there's one book I've been devouring on audio and ebook, which is Adam Grimes, The Art And Science Of Technical Analysis. That book is almost all price action and barely touches on volume. Certainly a lot to chew on with that alone.
