Liquidity runs occurs when price gives a false break out below a support or above a resistance and the purpose is usually to take out the stops or liquidity lying around those areas. This liquidity is then used by market makers to open their large positions in the opposite directions. When a false break out occurs below a support, stop losses belonging to retail...
So let's learn something about engulfing candles entries. An engulfing candle is usually a momentum candle and in most cases signifies reversal and at times trend continuation. Now what you do is plot your fib on the engulfing candle from wick to wick and mark the 40-50% retracement area which becomes a potential supply liquidity zone to sell from a bearish...
Asian Range is very important when we want to talk about liquidity concepts in general.. Most importantly, Liquidity Grab .. First have a daily bias .. then use Asian Range's high and low to determine sellside/buyside liquidity.. Wait for London Open Killzone and search for a FVG .. Let me know your thoughts in comments 🤠
Hey folks I hope you're all good and making some good untraditional profits 😉 Here is a model that you will find few days every trading week! {Terms used in this Idea} Asian Range: a time span from 19:00 to 00:00 NY Time that forms every day except for Mondays.. Usually price taking of Asian Range's high or low means liquidity is taken and price "could" reverse...

London Open Killzone time is: from 3:00 AM to 5:00 AM New York Time.. (though it could extend a bit further).. What we should be looking for is this scenario: We have a clear liquidity area..(single or double lows/relative equal...
Today I posted a GBPUSD idea and it was my first Idea posted that hit my stop loss first before I was able to secure profit. All of my ideas dating back to may are hit the target almost every time. If it doesn't, it will usually hit a couple take profit levels that I will have prepared, Or it may not hit the entrance yet the idea is there and price goes to the...
Now as of recently I have become submerged into Elliott wave theory. It helps me define order flow on a fractal level and with the implementation of certain other order flow concepts, I can then define the intent of order flow between sessions. Elliott wave is fundamental in understanding market structure. Impulses and Corrections are fundamental in driving...
Here's a quick synopsis on how I use ICT's content on determining the higher/lower timeframe bias. This video may be helpful to traders who have a hard time knowing which direction to choose when trading.
Smart Money Concepts since its inception with ICT have polarized the trading community mostly in a positive way, and I think said concepts are more handy for traders who have experienced many cycles in the market and are looking to refine their edge with the advancing technology and the transaction basis of today's exchanges based on a liquidity perspective. ICT...
For the past 2 years I'd say I endowed myself in the study of a few technical approaches, and I have to say the most flawed is using smart money concept annotations to build a trade bias, as each annotation from a BOS, to order block can be subjective on every time frame. I feel the overlying goal for any trader is to first align themself with the trend. As you...
Alkaline is back baby! 💣 As smart money concepts gain popularity, liquidity increases. I have taken a month away from trading to study the new forms of market manipulation and have been pleasantly surprised by what I have found. Here is my discovery: 1) The market is currently focusing on taking liquidity from breakeven positions over fixed stop losses. This...
Divergence between DXY and EURUSD in the price action surrounding FOMC May 2022. Price sweeping highs / lows on one of the pairs , but not creating the mirror image or symmetrical price action on the other as expected, indicating a likely reversal in price action.

Liquidity void, Fair Value Gap, Imbalance... These terms are interchangeable. As a Charter Member ill tell you what I've shown here, is a basic depiction, as I got asked a question on what is an imbalance? An imbalance, is an imbalance in price, where price has NOT efficiently delivered orders in the market, price will like to revisit these areas, of imbalance,...
Why are order blocks formed? Order blocks are created when a breakout move doesn't go to plan. If banks get caught in a fake breakout move, they aren't going to sit and cry about it. They are going to push the price back up/down so that they can close out of their negative positions to join the correct side of the market. Stop using order blocks that have no...
Sell stops, when they are triggered at, all of the pending orders down there, become market orders, to sell, price triggered those pending orders, to sell stops, because a market order to sell at market, who is gonna buy at the market? The smart money.
