How we research, write, review, and maintain every article on this site — and the standards we hold ourselves to.
Last updated: March 2026
Every article on ICTKillzone.com is written with one goal: accuracy. ICT methodology is technical, precise, and frequently misrepresented across the internet. Conflating concepts, omitting criteria, or oversimplifying rules produces traders who understand a shallow version of the methodology — and fail because of it.
We take our responsibility seriously. When we say "a valid order block requires a preceding liquidity sweep," that claim is traceable to ICT source material. When we give specific Fibonacci levels for OTE, those numbers are the ones Michael J. Huddleston teaches — not our interpretation. We separate what is doctrine from what is our analytical framing, and we say so when the distinction matters.
Research phase: Before any article is drafted, the relevant ICT concepts are studied from primary sources — Michael J. Huddleston's recorded content, transcripts, and forum material. We note exact criteria, specific levels, and the precise language used to describe each concept.
Drafting phase: Articles are written by traders with direct experience applying the concepts they cover. We avoid writing about concepts we have not traded. Every article includes the specific criteria required for a valid setup, not just a high-level description.
Review phase: All articles go through an accuracy review against source material before publication. Chart examples are checked to ensure they correctly illustrate the concept being described — not a superficially similar but technically different pattern.
Publication standard: An article is published only when it is complete — meaning it covers identification, validity criteria, entry and stop placement, common mistakes, and at least one real-instrument walkthrough. We do not publish stub articles.
We correct errors. If a concept is described incorrectly, a criterion is wrong, or a chart example is misleading, we fix it — promptly, visibly, and without hiding that a correction was made.
Substantive corrections (where the meaning or practical application of a concept changes) are noted at the top of the affected article with the correction date. Minor corrections (typos, formatting, broken links) are fixed silently.
If you believe any content on this site is inaccurate, please contact us with a specific description of the error and, if possible, a reference to the primary source that contradicts it. We investigate every credible correction report.
ICT methodology evolves. Michael J. Huddleston continues to teach and refine concepts. When established ICT content is updated or expanded in primary source material, we update our articles to reflect the current understanding — not the version that was taught in 2018.
All articles display the date they were last reviewed. "Reviewed" means a human looked at the article and confirmed it is still accurate, not just that it was published that year.
ICTKillzone.com is an independent educational resource. We have no commercial relationship with Michael J. Huddleston, Inner Circle Trader, or any affiliated products or services. We do not receive payment to promote any ICT course, mentorship programme, or prop firm.
We do not run advertisements. We do not accept sponsored content. We do not write articles in exchange for links or payment. If this ever changes, it will be disclosed prominently on the affected content and on this page.
Our only interest is in producing the most accurate, useful ICT educational content available for free on the internet. That is the entire business model.
Google's quality standards require that content demonstrates Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness. We take this seriously — not as an SEO exercise, but because these are genuinely the right standards for a financial education resource.
Experience: Our content is written by traders who apply these concepts in live markets. Chart examples come from real sessions, not reconstructed setups built to illustrate a point.
Expertise: We cover ICT methodology and nothing else. We do not write about topics we do not know. Depth of coverage, not breadth of topic, is how we demonstrate expertise.
Authoritativeness: Claims about how ICT concepts work are traceable to primary source material. Where we offer our own analytical framing, we say so.
Trustworthiness: We correct errors, we disclose our commercial relationships (none), and we are honest about what ICT trading is — a methodology with real skill requirements, not a get-rich system.
