Hello Traders! Here I show you how I find large banks order flow! IPDA (Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm) look back ranges help us see where our most apparent highs and lows are within a 20 day cycle. Every 20 days the market makes a new high or low. It may not be exactly 20 days but roughly every 20 days you will see a new high or low formed. I use this...
I wanted to take note of the price action surrounding Midnight Opening Price. Trend: Bullish We can see that price moves below Midnight Opening price and then gives displacement to the upside. We can see a trend of price moving higher before 12:00pm NY EST. I have drew all the M.O.P line out to 12pm. Looking further we can notice that the London Kill Zone...
Hello Traders! I wanted to be transparent and show how I got those two areas of interest, premium & discount. There is no magic in the Fib retracment or extension tool. Because price is sitting within the discounted portion of the price range does not mean click buy. We need more than just this to frame a setup and take a trade. I will go into further...
Hello Traders! This will be my first case study as we observer AUD/USD going into September. We will be working with the monthly time frame as this we were the bank's trade. They do not trade on the lower timeframes like the 1min, 5min, 15min, 30min, and 1h. All markets are fractal, which means all time frames display the same setups on all time frames just in...
Happy Sunday everybody, today I'll be providing a quick writeup on identification of single-candle Supply & Demand zones, otherwise known as "Orderblocks" (Credits to ICT for coining this phrase) Supply & Demand are one of the most fundamental aspects of trading securities. In price action - liquidity is believed to be the driving force behind market...
Here I spoke on how the phases of the market gives you a buying opportunity. I spoke on what to look for when we get expansion, retracment, and where to anticipate a buy to take place on a smart money level. We must trade with the banks not against them. Buying is primed at discounted prices not premium. Hopefully you found this video insightful and give it...
Judas Swing in Bullish Conditions 1. Tight Asian Range 2. Break above Asian High (fake move) 3. Break below Asian Low (entry area) 4. Price goes long Where you enter and exit the market will vary. I would consider aiming for old highs, fair value gaps, gaps, or order blocks. Give yourself a reasonable stop loss as well
In this example, we can see that this is a typical trend continuation move. 1. Bullish impulse leg, followed by a "Consolidation before breakout". 2. For those who trade with SMC = Smart Money Concept, you will identify the breakout zone as an ORDER BLOCK . 3. Prices made a Swing High, followed by a "FALLING WEDGE" pattern, forming liquidity beneath the minor...
The basics of Smart Money Concepts with an overview of market structure and liquidity.
STRAT 11 : Basic premise As price continues in a trend, more and more traders keep piling into the same direction, hoping that the trend will continue and they will make money. However, at some point, the trend sharply reverses, breaking the market structure in opposite direction and trapping a whole bunch of retail traders in the direction of trend which just...
Most things are written on the chart. I have hidden the reference fib itself as it is specifically edited for a certain purpose, but I base it on the psychological effect range theory (should be easy to figure out my methodology just knowing that) as well as the silver ratio for highs rather than the somewhat misused golden ratio (it's not really that prevalent in...
I used the latest swing high and swing low. My bias was short so I looked for a premium price to sell from. From the 50% and above are premium prices, next I looked for the candle responsible for an impulsive move down. Marked that candle. Also on the M5 I noticed a clean high, and I used the entry method of A STOP RAID as an entry. And the M1 gave me a bearish...
Once you spot a location to trade from (be it a liquidity hunt, or a false breakout + market structure break) - that's only half of the job. The next most important step is to draw a correct zone which gives you a safe and reliable way to enter and define your risk. I've always found that drawing zones which help you define your entry & risk is an art, more so...
Breaker swing point now the reason that makes this setup a high value setup is because 1.THE MARKET MAKERS HAS TAKEN OUT THE HH 2.You get a second chance in case you missed the first entry 3.There is a likely chance its not gonna go for the previous high because the market maker will be giving those trapped buyers a chance to close their position
Institutional swing points can be found on every chart if you are doing the right analysis you will see them. This is a sell example meaning for buys you do the opposite.
The Judas swing term was named by ICT, he dubbed this swing concept and utilizes it upon the London Open. The idea is, the market makers will rally or sell price, normally just above or below the Asian session high or low (depending on institutional order flow bias) tricking buyers or sellers into the market to follow its direction. As the Judas swing high or low...

First of all, this is the ICT Breaker concept from ICT (Inner Circle Trader) on YouTube, all credit goes to him. I've outlined a nice example of this strategy in the chart. I use this a lot and it's really simple to understand and notice once you catch a few of them. I'd love to see you try to find more examples. Feel free to post them in the comments and we...
