The ICT Course That Comes With the Chart to Test It On
Most trading courses end at the last video. You finish it holding a head full of concepts and no way to find out whether any of them work on the market you actually trade — so you go and find out with real money, which is the most expensive possible way to learn. This one ships inside the backtester. Learn the model in the morning; replay two hundred setups against it in the afternoon.
What is actually in it
A complete strategy, start to finish. CRT × Mitigation — range, sweep, mitigation, entry, invalidation, in the order you apply them live rather than as a list of ideas. If you have no edge you trust yet, this is one you can learn today and test the same afternoon.
The ICT course: 7 modules, 56 lessons. Market structure and liquidity through to inducement, points of interest, the entry model and chart setup — written out, with the diagrams drawn, rather than four hours of screen recording you have to scrub through to find one definition.
A journal and a performance calendar that fill themselves in from your logged trades: expectancy, profit factor and drawdown from your own results, tagged by setup, so you can see which playbook entry is carrying the account and which one you keep taking out of boredom.
A quiz — five topics and a 47-question exam — plus notes, a pre-market checklist and progress tracking. Finding the gap in a quiz costs nothing; finding it in a trade costs whatever the trade cost.
Why learning and testing in one place is the whole point
The gap between understanding a concept and trading it is not knowledge, it is repetition under uncertainty. You can explain a fair value gap perfectly and still have no idea which ones are worth taking, because that judgement is built by watching several hundred of them resolve — and a course, on its own, cannot give you that.
So every concept in the course has a chart waiting for it. Finish the market structure module and open the market structure backtester; finish the liquidity module and open the liquidity sweep backtester; finish CRT and open the CRT backtester. Same session, same afternoon. The lesson stops being a video you watched and becomes a number you measured.
That loop is the thing no standalone course can sell you and no standalone backtester can teach you, and it is the entire reason both halves live in one product.
What it costs, stated plainly
The course is part of Pro, $29 a month, cancellable in one click. There is no separate course price, no upsell ladder and no lifetime tier — Pro is the only paid plan there is, and it opens the course, all 38 markets and the full ten-year history together.
One thing worth being unambiguous about because the gate enforces it: a Pro Pass does not open the course. The pass opens the data and the tools; the course comes with the plan. Being vague about that would buy a click and lose the person two seconds later.
The backtester itself stays free — 21 markets, every timeframe, every drawing tool, every indicator and every ICT overlay, on the most recent two weeks of history, with no card. You can go and use the thing the course teaches before you buy the course, which is the right order.
Who it is for, and who it is not
It is for someone who has been reading ICT and smart money material for months, understands the vocabulary, and still cannot state a rule they would take tomorrow. The course gives you a model to start from; the terminal is where you find out whether it survives contact with your market.
It is not for someone looking for signals, an automated system, or a guarantee. There are no win rates advertised here, no results claimed and no testimonials, because the only number that matters is the one you produce yourself on a few hundred of your own setups — and producing it is what the rest of this site is built to make possible.
Frequently asked questions
What is in the CRTLAB course?
A complete CRT × Mitigation strategy walkthrough, an ICT course of 7 modules and 56 lessons covering market structure through to the entry model, a self-filling trade journal and performance calendar, and a quiz with five topics and a 47-question exam, plus notes and a pre-market checklist.
How much does the ICT course cost?
It is part of Pro at $29 per month, cancellable in one click. There is no separate course price and no lifetime plan — Pro opens the course, all 38 markets and ten years of history together.
Can I see inside before paying?
Yes. The course door opens for anyone, logged in or not, and shows you what each part of it actually looks like before there is any question of paying. The backtester it is built around is free to use in full.
Does the Pro Pass include the course?
No. The pass opens the full data history and the tools; the course comes with the Pro plan itself. The gate enforces that, so it is worth knowing before you click rather than after.
Do I need the course to use the backtester?
No, and most people should not start there. The replay engine is free on 21 markets and tests whatever strategy you bring it. The course is for people who do not yet have a strategy they trust — it is where you get one.
Is this the ICT mentorship?
No. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a copy of anyone's mentorship. It is CRTLAB's own written material on the same publicly discussed concepts, built into a tool that lets you test them.
