ICT Trading Setup Principles

for we're going to folks I hope everybody's doing well so tonight we're doing a little bit of a lecture here on some important information about finding setups and I get a lot of questions as a mentor teaching Forex and recently index Futures and the things I'm going to talk about tonight are not limited to any one particular asset class so it's kind of like remove all of the uncertainty of where you're supposed to be looking in the charts when am I supposed to be utilizing electronic trading hours when am I going to be referring to regular trading hours for what reason uh what type of setups form when and that way it allows you to have a setup for life now some of you may have thought this was going to be a pattern or a PD array lecture it's not I'm teaching you how to find your own setups but specifically when and where they form that's the part that is always a constant that's the thing that a lot of new Traders and those that are struggling as a break even Trader lose sight of it's a matter of knowing what to look for and when it incorporates Market profiling and that is not Market profile in the sense that we're using like vwap and things like that we're talking about schematics things that I've taught and have shared publicly on this YouTube channel you can find that information in the core content where I'm dealing with specific day profiles the topic would be under the day trading and I cover a lot of this stuff also when I'm talking about specific market reviews and I understand that many of you you may be new okay and you want to you want a One Two Three Easy get me in and get me out pattern and I've already produced all that okay it's on the YouTube channel but for the folks that really want to find a lot more setups or not be limited to a one trick pony not that that's a bad thing because the 2022 model is excellent the optimal trade entry pattern is excellent so when I talk about these areas in the marketplace tonight and I promise we will not be here very long usually when I say this on Twitter and I do a Twitter's face uh we go for hours and hours it doesn't feel like hours to me but you I do have a time limit tonight so I have to get through this and because of that I presented it in a PowerPoint presentation so it helps me keep my focus so I always have some kind of a monologue coming in so I want to kind of set the expectations for everyone that's going into this study so that way you know what it is that you're going to be trying to glean from it what's the purpose and then we'll get down to the nitty-gritty it'll be right to the point and I'll show you some details in terms of executions and such SO algorithmic trading with ICT models for all assets and again the premise is one trade setup for life now what do you think that would entail something that would repeat over and over again it's not ambiguous it's very specific now when you see me doing my trade executions uh sometimes they look too good to be true and sometimes I'm questioned as to whether or not I'm using using something that's delayed and whatnot and today I had a little bit of a Clank today I've shared some things that uh my wife wasn't expecting me to spend any time online today but uh I felt like I I wanted to share today and I answered a couple things that came up over the years in terms of doubts or concerns and I I really want you to think about the lesson tonight that we're going to cover and think about how your setup your multiplier the PD array that you gravitate to most it may be the fair value Gap it may be a breaker pattern it may be the optimal trade entry pattern it could be a simple order block it could be a turtle soup it could be a number of things whatever it could be the inversion fair value Gap whatever that PD array is that you see easily in the chart the one that you don't have to look too hard for or strain your eye or scour through the candlesticks to find it the one that just simply makes sense to you when you see price action your eye goes right to it that my friends is the One You're supposed to be looking at that's the one you start with it does not mean that it's going to be your entire career it just means that that's the one that resonates with you right now as a new student of mine and then you grow from that I promise you when you learn one PD array and how to use use the information I'm going to share tonight it'll be so much easier for you to see all the things that form in all the PD arrays that I've taught and will teach but you have to have some kind of a a baseline to grow from and if you're rushing through it or trying to push too much on yourself the the time limits that you place on yourself for learning how to do it is unrealistic some of you going to learn sooner than others and others are going to require more time I can't speed that up for you you you're bringing in your own learning curve and the things that you're going to worry about are going to find its way to the bin as you learn how to focus on the things I'm teaching you and not anything more than that per lesson so let's get into it all right so draw on liquidity okay it's the sole purpose of price delivery and I wish to thank Patrick weand for getting this screenshot from his live stream today I needed to make a point about U liquidity and the resources that are available in the market today and how I'm going to help you not lean On Tools like this now admittedly if this type of thing was in existence when I first started in the 90s that's the 1990s by the way not the 19 100s as my youngest son always he says makes me sound like I'm really really old but uh this is a screenshot of the book map okay uh I am not a affiliate with them I'm not suggesting that you should subscribe to it and I'm not trying to kick dirt in their face either I'm just saying that the primary function for that tool can be made redundant with tonight's lesson now I don't want you to take my word for it you're welcome to compare and contrast and then see if there is any validity to what I'm going to say tonight but I promise you you're going to see that these things while useful to a new student to a new Trader they're absolutely wonderful crutches and that's not to be demeaning or to talk down to it because believe me if I would I had access to this when I first started I would have absolutely subscribe to it because it would have helped me learn faster the whole premise of liquidity but the the problem is with a tool like this it kind of like brings more attention to levels of liquidity that are not so pertinent to right now okay or what's about to take place in terms of a narrative and price action okay and when I teach smart money concepts by the way when you hear SMC it's my Concepts okay when I talked about it and first started teaching it I referred to them as smart money Concepts and when we look at liquidity there's a specific range in mind when I'm looking at my charts and I hear or see people in comments um I've watched other YouTubers and their complaint is you never really understand why ICT is picking this high or that low he's hiding it from you that's [ __ ] tonight I'm going to show you that that has never been the case I've always said these things but it's always tucked in during the discussion the boring Parts because you're not trying to listen it goes over your head that's why when you go back and look at old videos it's been there the whole time but you're looking for that one trick pony that magic trick that slight of hand thing is going to let you go out on social media and look like a rockstar if you want to be able to do that you have to learn like tonight this is a lesson that gets to the heart of the matter where is it that you should be framing your focus and what liquidity what specific liquidity does ICT refer to yes we're going to cover that and you're going to see by contrast if you look at the things I'm going to cover tonight and utilize it with this resource here bookmap I don't know if they offer a free trial I don't know that at all but there's YouTubers out there that stream and kind of like share this these their Affiliates they want you to sign out with them I'm not saying don't use it I'm not saying you should use it I'm just saying that for folks that are trying to do this without having extra things to pay for or look at you can take the information tonight and compare and contrast and see if it doesn't really get to the heart of the matter in terms of where liquidity is should be focused on for any one given period intraday all right so when we first start talking about liquidity the assumption is is you're a day trader whether you're a scalper whether you are a session Trader a intraday day trader where you're trying to do the entire daily range or if you're just a short-term Trader or you're looking to time the market for your longer term swing trade or position trade all of that is encapsulated in tonight's discussion so it's not a just an intraday chart concept you can use these Concepts to really narrow down the amount of risk reduce it to minuscule amounts it doesn't mean it's without loss doesn't mean that you will have winning trades all the time it just means that if you understand the concepts I'm covering tonight you will have the ability to go in and F tune your risk model be able to reduce the amount of risk that's associated with your trades and also time the market know where the Market's going to go to next okay first step we're going to talk about is the PM session ranges okay and this is always going to be referred to in terms of previous day okay so previous day we are going to be referring to the 1:30 p.m. to 400 pm time window and this is always in New York local time now I'm saying that because I want you to set your trading view chart to New York local time I say this as much as I can in all my lectures because I get confused us when I talk to people around the world and you're in different time zones and I have made mistakes in ter in terms of telling them what their conversion would be so to eliminate all that confusion if you just simply set your charts to New York local time and look at the charts that way all the confusion goes away it's very simple so PM session ranges you're looking for the highest high and the lowest low between 1:30 p.m. and 4 P.M now is there any ambiguity there no it's very simple succinct right to the point now what do you do with it if you are bullish okay and we are trading in close proximity to that range as we see here this example here I'm using the June contract before rollover took place at the time of this recording and live stream we are looking at the September contract for the indices for 2023 but I'm showing you an example because this is something I utilized in commentary something I used in terms of my own analysis and executions and such but I want you to understand that when we look at PM session ranges it is always referred to in regular trading hours notice this down here in the lower right hand corner let's make the chart a little bit bigger so down here in the right hand corner the rth that's regular trading hours now you can toggle this if your membership permits you I don't know what uh I guess uh membership is required for trading view um if you're absolutely against trading view then I'm sorry you're GNA have to have to find the equivalent and I don't know what that would be for you okay I chose trading view because my community said go to trading view when I left mt4 so we're all here now and I don't know what it's going to cost you I I don't have an affiliate program with trading view I get no money for it if you subscribe to it and I don't know what the amount of membership would be to allow to get that I don't know okay so give me the liberty and latitude to be able to talk freely and you're going to have to work that on your own but this toggle from rth to electronic trading hours ET okay one or the other is going to be utilized if we're going to be looking for PM session ranges it's always going to be into previous day the time window the amount of time that you're looking inside of what price range what high are you looking at ICT which low are you looking at ICT regular trading hours it cuts out all the overnight trading the algorithm once we start trading regular trading session hours the next day it's going to refer back to these specific times and what liquidity exists above and below it so if we're bullish and we're trading near the opening in this little orange line here that's going to be in every slide that denotes the 9:30 opening bell you know when everybody's on CNBC and they clap their hands that's when the opening bell occurs for the stock indices and stock market now obviously they're trading all night long but that opening window starts that opening range for the next 30 30 minutes where will that usually run for the high or low if you're bullish and we take out the PM session low where it's going to be selli below that it's wonderful because if it's bullish and we have a higher time frame premise it's expecting the market to go higher how do we know that that's what I've been teaching you when I do my reviews or I do my commentary or if I'm pointing to something on Twitter if you're not following me on Twitter you're really missing out because I'm doing a lot of information there and like real short succinct manner I'm taking your attention to right then and there today I did it and a lot of people actually followed it and it's not to be used as a signal service but I'm calling things live there drawing your attention to it so that way you can study it real time but if you're bullish and the market drops down below P PM session lows notice that this low here and this low here that's encapsulated inside of the 1:30 to 4:00 New York local time so below those relative equal lows there sell High liquidity it's really simple it's simple isn't it when when you go through the process of listening to me and doing the things I tell you to do and I justify why you should do all these things that's the boring part the folks that have started making real money six figures payouts okay Doctor salaries and a month or less that stuff comes by listening and practicing and going into their charts and not taking my word for it but going in and seeing if the things I'm saying are indeed true this logic if we're bullish we'd like to see cide taken why because that means that smart money would accumulate those cide liquidity and absorb it for their buy side so they're going to treat that sell side as counterparty to their smart money buying so they're accumulating in the Judith swing the drop down here just goes into this area here where the liquidity is so we definitely want to be looking at previous day's session not just any old high and low the high and the low is between 1:30 and 4:00 New York local time that's the PM session that range the highs and the lows there's liquidity above and below it if we're looking for higher prices we definitely expect it to be running to the buy side but at the opening we expect not always but we expect we anticipate a run lower that Judah swing that every Tom Dick and Harry on social media are going to chase that they're going to think it's breaking to new lows it's going to keep going lower no no no no it's only running down there to take sellers into the marketplace and they're going to buy them and then the market runs to the buy side now you could be a Trader that simply takes this order here as a long as a turtle suit now admittedly this takes a great deal of conviction it probably won't be the first thing you reach for learning from me in fact it took a lot of time for me to trust that idea of buying below old lows and selling above old highs for entries not targets it's easy to do it for a Target but it's entirely different takes an entire paradigm shift in your thinking to go into the marketplace and anticipate that as an entry but it can be done and it takes time how you get there is you study old moves like this and you Journal them but your model could simply be wait for the sell side in the pre previous PM session range if you're bullish that's your buy if you're going in that means that you're expecting the weekly range to expand higher the draw on liquidity higher on the weekly uh time frame we've covered all that stuff in the prev discussions but going down into liquidity like this when we're bullish we would reasonably expect it to run for what the buy side where what buy side what high are you looking at ICT that one right there why because it's inside the range between 130 and 4:00 how pray tell is that complicated it's not complicated and I've taught this at nauseum over and over and over again but you're not listening so I'm taking you by the hand tonight right through the charts that way everything is perfectly laid out for you you have absolutely zero excuses you have no excuses now to know what I'm anticipating what range am I looking at I'm not hiding it from you folks I want you to succeed I really really want you to succeed if you can't learn it from tonight's lesson I don't know how to do it better than this one okay going further into the day now we're considering a a full 24-hour rotation okay so over the course of 24 hours what is the mind of ICT what are the inner musings of inner circle Trader I'm going through the process of going through this very routine right here I look at PM session range if it's not a factor or it's not to be considered because we're not in in close proximity to that range because we could be significantly higher or lower around 9:30 so what am I looking for then if I'm not close to PM session previous PM session 1:30 p.m. to 4m range at the time of 9:30 at the opening bell and I'm watching that next 30 minutes which is the opening range what am I going to look for then next if it's not that I'm looking at the London session raid that means I'm going to be looking at the range between 2 o'clock in the morning and 5:00 in the morning New York local time now again tell me is that complicated no simple so in your charts you want to be annotating what those levels are now you can do it like this here where I have actual annotations that I hand draw I don't have a indicator thing that plots them for me I prefer the high touch over high-tech it means I'm putting some thought into it I get closer to the marketplace by doing that and sharing with you I just don't trust an indicator to do it okay so I'm an old guy I'm a dinosaur I'm used to doing everything by hand anyway and believe me it doesn't take that long to tell me you have to have it because it saves time it's a cop out you just are lazy nothing wrong with lazy I mean lazy people can do things very efficiently if they if they're smart but let's Zoom this in here all right so London session raids if we are not in close proximity to the previous PM session at 9:30 remember this orange line here denotes the 9:30 opening bell of the stock market so where are we at in terms of proximity so we're we're starting the trading here so where are we are we in close proximity to a PM session higher low but we are in close proximity to what London session byy side we're digging into that so all of this can be viewed pre 930 as a Judas swing now notice am I showing you regular trading hours or electronic trading hours electronic trading hours so that way you're going to be able to see the overnight trading if you have it toggled to regular trading hours you won't see this information folks it will be hidden from you which is one of the conundrums that ret Traders fall into they don't know either how to toggle electronic trading hours or regular trading hours and even if they do they don't know what to do with the information it's hidden it's in plain sight but it's hidden from them you don't have that excuse anymore tonight so London session buy side liquidity we're seeing that raid up into it here and then where's the low in that remember 2 o' to 5 o' in the morning New York local time that's not ambiguous what is the range the highest high and the lowest low here and here so if we rated the buy side and we did it on a run that's a Judas we anticipate that as a false run higher and then we're going to see does it shift lower how can we use that information well you can use the 2022 model you can use a breaker bearish breaker you can use the ICT optimal trade entry in here from this low to that high is a fair value gy this is a shift in Market structure below this low right there that's your 2022 model or optimal trade entry what would you be aiming for London session sside liquidity do you have to sit through a retracement yes but we'll cover that because that in itself is also a range that we utilize intraday notice what I'm taking you through the whole routine of 24 hours where are we at open open is 9:30 we have to wait for 30 minutes because there's going to either be a run higher or lower or it may consolidate and then we'll have to wait for the 10:00 displacement and then you can look for a silver bullet between 10:00 and 11: or you could use a run into the lunch macro which we won't talk about tonight but I promise you I will be teaching those things I can't do everything in one lesson everything line upon line preset upon precept it'll be taught here and there but before November you'll have more than you'll ever need so we have two ranges we've identified here for defining where liquidity is let me go back to discussion of that book map application or software I want you if you have AA availability to do this look at what bookmap is saying when we're trading like here tools like that will start showing you lots of liquidity if they're accurate right below that low if it matches if it matches the that I'm teaching here tonight then it's valid and that's where the market will draw to every little small little liquidity above the marketplace or below the marketplace is irrelevant when I say I'm looking for a draw on liquidity I'm looking predominantly around the levels I'm teaching you today so think about how many times I've called things on Twitter live and how many times they were wrong what three times Maybe it everything's on Twitter it's not deleted it's not edited I don't do any of that stuff but all of you 300,000 plus now have watched me take your attention to a specific price point and then the market ran off and went right to it how was I doing it it's what I'm teaching you tonight you can do this folks now there are going to be times when you look at the market and it's not going to be clear to you if you don't have a clear depiction of what should be taking place where the market should draw to because there's going to be times when I'm either going to be on vacation or I'm not going to Tweet or I'm not going to talk about something I'm living in life so if it's not clear to you what it's reaching for don't put a trade on study it and that experience will grow over time and you'll get better at doing it but when you're journaling I want you to go into your charts and journal like this this should be part of your journaling if you don't journal and don't record these types of things your brain and your subconscious can't retain it it needs to be trained and conditioned that way it activates your particular activating system so that way it allows your mind to see it and then when you're looking at Price action live it'll be like oh I got to look oh there's that high I'm looking at there's that low I'm looking at notice we're cutting through candles folks it's not supply and demand and it's not white off I'm sorry I wish it could be something I could point to and say go over there and learn that but it isn't anywhere else all right opening range gaps okay opening range gaps are a specific event that takes place when you're utilizing regular trading hours so let's zoom in so down here in trading view you want to make sure you're toggled to regular trading hours by doing that what it'll do is it'll remove all the overnight trading so you won't see anything like London or anything like that where we stop trading for the r of trading in hours and where we start trading again at 9:30 is opening bell that's what you're seeing okay that separation that is my opening range Gap so whenever you hear me say an opening range Gap not to be confused with opening range opening range is the first 30 minutes I will have a specific teaching in its entire all by itself on this video I mean on this channel it'll be opening range lecture but when I say opening range that is the first 30 minutes after the opening bill at 9:30 so specifically it's 9:30 a.m. New York local time to 10:00 a.m. New York local time not ambiguous as it folks very very specific this opening range Gap is where we stop trading using regular trading hours and where we open up at 9:30 if there is a gap lower at 9:30 you will see this Gap here it's being shaded with this little Orange Box it doesn't mean it wants to run up there immediately okay and this is what I watch a lot of YouTubers that understand there are gaps I didn't invent a gap but I did cutify some things around how to use that Gap and I'll teach more about that also in its own lesson but tonight I want you to think about how where the market reaches for liquidity where it reaches for that liquidity and where does it want to go to after it goes there this low over here right in here that low is occurring in the morning session or the am session between 9:30 and noon so what would be residing below that sell stops so we call that sells side liquidity so we Gap lower and then run into that liquidity right there using regular trading hours now if you're using electronic trading hours you may have a lower low overnight and then in words between these two price points here where we closed at regular trading session and open at regular trading session between those two price points you have all of the 6:00 pm to 9:30 in the morning worth of trading that could have made a lower low here I don't care what I don't care if I'm going to refer to the opening range Gap and we get a gap lower like this I'm filtering out all of overnight price that's it now is that ambiguous is that complicated no what low would I you looking at well on regular trading hours on this chart that's a pretty obvious low isn't it that's the stuff I've been doing on Twitter I'm picking the right highs and lows folks because there's a method behind what I'm doing I'm not inventing it as I go I'm not going off on a whim making up as I go I've been doing this stuff for 30 years it's the same stuff all the time it's a well- written well read novel to me that's why I'm so consistent that's why I'm accurate and if you stick to these rules you will become this accurate too it's transferable you should be excited I know some of you are grinning like [ __ ] right now you're thinking man if I would have had this stuff just a couple months ago I could have passed my funded account challenge I could have done this I could have done that I could have bought a boat a jet ski a car a down payment on the house M but you have to go one step at a time now the opening range Gap if we run to a pool quity like this here wouldn't it make sense since we're now into a discount and inside of liquidity below old lows we're in cell side now we've already moved a lot from the previous session here here what would be reasonable well look at the economic calendar today we had the Fed chair pal jaw boning at 10 10:00 in the morning do we trade around pal or fed share testimonies no not if you're new not if you're trying to keep your money not if you don't want to be a gambler you wait and you wait for what the PM session exactly what I said this morning on Twitter I said in Twitter I said today and tomorrow Fed chair will be testifying so you want to what trading the afternoon if you're going to trade at all the probabilities are going to be high in your favor if you wait till the afternoon that means 1:30 in the afternoon New York local time to 4:00 close is that ambiguous is that complicated no wouldn't you know it there's a low here it forms at 1:00 and then at 1:30 or so it creates another low here H that's pretty interesting what happens after that low forms it runs right on up into that opening range Gap so all of this mess in here every Instagram Trader every Twitter hero every YouTube Trader live streamer they're in there trying to look for patterns when there is nothing to trust it's going to be running around going a muck just seeking liquidity and it will frustrate you that's the reason why I tell you to focus on the sweet spots in the marketplace I don't care about retail Rick that's going to come after the fact because he's not going to tell you on Twitter when I'm tweeting and saying oh you said don't do this I'm GNA go in here I trade that they don't ever do that they'll come back two hours later and they'll say look what I did over here so stop listening to those neopit the logic that I'm sharing don't take my word for it go into the charts and you will be convinced of it 100% guarantee I guarantee you you will see this logic there so it runs up into the opening range Gap after after the New York lunch after the morning session chop and it runs to a log logical level based on the information I'm showing you here see in the morning a lot of folks that understand this Gap exists we're looking for any reason to run right up there then no they're they're not going to see it why because they don't understand time the algorithm runs on time it Engineers liquidity in the morning session and then it Engineers it going into lunch and then it runs on that liquidity why would they want to do that we'll talk about that New York lunch raid now in the old days and I was trading when the old days were the thing before electronic trading uh we had open out cry pits and when you called into the broker they would answer the phone you had to wait for them to answer the phone by the way and then get transferred to the trading desk that you are seeing the account managers for that account you have and you got to go through the process of giving them your account number and then your PIN and then you got to give them your order they repeat the order the whole time the Market's trading then they ask you if you want to wait for your fill and if you say I'm going to wait for my fill you're put on hole for a minute or two then they come back and they tell you confirmation number and where you filled and many times you're upset because you have real slippage because you're all spoiled you know press a button you're in there right and the open out cry in the pits would have a lunch hour where it was very almost like a routine unless it was a big trending day the lunch hour between noon and 100 p.m. New York local time would generally be a consolidation now the way we could use that back then and I'm going to show you how I use it now but for historical purposes I'm giving you a reference on how I become ICT the lunch hour many times was a reversal and whatever took place in the morning was completely reversed on and then if it was a trending day it would just keep on going and it would repeat whatever the morning low was up the lunch high and then run into 3:00 4:00 and that would be their full Daily range other days if it was bullish it would go up then consolidate during the 12 o'clock and 1 o'clock in the afternoon and then do the same move in the afternoon between 2 o'clock and 4:00 that it did in the morning session but it would do it in half the time so it was a measured move ABCD type of profile and other days you would see just a morning move and then consolidate lunch and then stay Consolidated the rest of the day and same thing if it was a bearish day it would create the morning move then consolidate in lunch and do nothing extra and that was pretty it that was pretty much it that was that was the profiles that existed back then now you might be thinking well that's all well and good Michael but which one do you use well which one would you expect based on the economic calendar the draw on liquidity for the weekly range what is it trying to do where's it reaching for all those things have to be balanced that still requires you and your study to get to that degree of un well understanding and implementing the things I'm teaching but you have no excuse when I'm pointing to it in advance I'm taking you to the higher time frame weekly charts I'm telling you where the Market's going to go and we watch it daily and weekly move thousands of points not five handles thousands hundreds okay so it gives you time and opportunity to get in sync with that type of move you don't have to have the lowest low and the highest high so a New York launch raid between noon New York local time to 1:30 p.m. but ICT you just said it's an hour long noon to 1:30 and there's people out there say oh the market doesn't care about nobody's going to lunch uh the algorithm doesn't take lunch but it runs on that liquidity so everything that was utilized since the dawn of Market manipulation when the powers that be figured out that they could just run a numbers game and everybody thinks it's a free market and they think it's and selling pressure that makes these markets go up and down and where they go they utilized that information that it was not efficient at all when it was used in an open outcry and that price that manipulation that engineering of Market Direction was made much more efficient when electronic trading took over so nothing has changed in regards to Market manipulation in Market making we're not talking about dealers folks okay if somebody's out there saying I'm a market maker I'm a former Market maker you are not a market maker you are a dealer the folks that are in control of price where it's going to go how high it's going to go how low it's going to go that's who I'm talking about and you don't see them they don't have a face all of that's been changed now and it's algorithmic it's highly efficient they never get sick they never mess up because it's 100% electronic it's following code it's following instructions period it's all delivered on time so a lunch run on liquidity a raid if you will you have to define the range between 12:00 and 1:30 but you said it's an hour long 1:30 starts the PM session that's when the algorithm can start doing its macro a macro is a short order of instructions that will create an event in price delivery your focus needs to be on the highest high and the lowest low I'm showing you the highest high in 12 to 1:00 because there's nothing higher than the high here the low formed here between 12:00 and 1:30 that's the lowest low here so we see this low it drops down there if we're expecting price to be bullish and it's not done anything in the morning Pal's talking uh there's a afternoon event that's expected like fomc something to that effect you avoid the morning session let everybody else Chase everybody else's opinion and ignorance on social media everybody's looking for the the guy with the hot hand the guy that's doing all the trades the guy that knows or the gal in difference to the ladies that do trading they're looking for the people that have something to say about the market right now and if they've been right in the past well damn it they're going to be right today let me follow what they're doing no you trailblaze your own path using this information you will be confident that you have no requirement to be in anybody's membership or audience you'll be able to do this make your bread and then go live your life and do whatever you want to do not be chained to these charts not looking at what I'm doing on Twitter because in November in 2023 that's stops you have to do all these things on your own and that should not be scary it should be exciting I'm excited for you but the session high and session low for lunch hour well I guess it's really technically 90 minutes isn't it did he said 90 minutes whoops the low here we can see it running down taking that when we're expected to go higher what do you think exists up here that's not being noted on the chart we'll get back to that the market starts its run at 130 completely random now you're probably watching this video and you've never seen anything else by me or never listened to Twitter spaces that I've done and you don't know that I've said that time at 1:30 you don't know that I've said this many many times referring about the New York lunch and how there's an algorithm that controls price and there's a macro that begins at 1:30 that sets the tone and pace for the 2 o'clock to 3:00 Silver Bullet baby H H the dots are starting to connect aren't they starting to see a little bit more of the tapestry that's been that's eluded you and everybody else out there that doesn't believe there's an algorithm doesn't believe that these markets are absolutely controlled by AI I promise you that's exactly what's going on we want to see when we're bullish the market drop down and take out the New York lunch lows even if it's going to reverse you can trade that here how can you trade that wait for a shift in Market structure value Gap don't trust the five minute chart I've already shown you today using a 15-second chart and we'll get to that too what do he say a 15c chart yes yes friends and neighbors price is price and you have to look where the inefficiencies are and every retail Trader is using a 15-minute chart an hourly chart a 4 Hour chart and there's this taboo around five minute charts or less because they're not informed they're not initiated they think it's noise they're part of the Goldman Sachs cult sorry boys but price is price and whatever you see in terms of measuring it using a Time based chart you have every advantage using a Time based chart in fact that's the only way you're going to see it so don't listen to people that say don't look at the time based chart it's nonsense wrong right away that tells you they have no idea algorithmic delivery mm- it escapes them sorry it runs on time time is the first Factor what am i showing you here tonight very specific Windows of time and what to reference it in terms of liquidity go back and look at my examples folks your draw is going to hit the floor it's always been there and it's always been explained to you in those long winded rants the stuff that you say I'm boring no I'm teaching you I'm trying to teach you everything that would bring you as close as I can bring you without having the 30 years experience I had so I'm I'm taking you FasTrack through three decades of understanding and if you don't have the patience to sit through whatever the duration is for the lecture that's a little bit myopic and unrealistic you're selling yourself short I don't care if you learn it really and if you're going to be lazy I don't care but if you really want to learn it telling you what to do I'm telling you what to avoid where your focus should be if you're bearish you can wait for a run up into the opening range Gap take out a lunch bide liquidity pool and then watch and see how it trades back below the New York lunch high if there's a displacement what does that mean see that low right here displacement what does it leave this candle's high and that candle's low what is that that's random look at that it's like it's just you know has no Rhyme or Reason right wrong that's your 2022 model boom sell short aim for what ICT the New York lunch low well it made this one here at one o00 but you can use this one while you're long or bullish I know it looks cherry-picked and talking I promise I got something for you to thinking that right now I promise you just sit tight but in the afternoon session you can see how that lunch hour plus 30 minutes that 90 minute window that low right here is where sell side resides and in the PM session it raids that liquidity but I C look man there's some relative equal lows down there and you teach relative equal lows right but before you get there where's the next logical rign to look for for in terms of liquidity that lunch hour or 90minut period now I said a lot of talking about things that some of you get pissed off about because you think I'm thumbing my nose that you were talking down to you but no I'm talking to you like a friend if you were friends with me from childhood this is exactly how i' talk to you I know what I'm talking about I know how to make crazy ass profitable Traders but I also have students that are [ __ ] lazy they're not going to do what I tell them to do and they're going to make excuses why they failed because they didn't listen and they rushed too fast to get into live trading that's your mistake that's not my mistake in hiding things from you I didn't do that I'm not doing it here tonight either you have every Advantage after tonight going in looking at what I'm looking for where am I focusing I promise you after tonight your shit's going to be different yes it's going to have nuts am session ranges 9:30 in the morning to noon so right away we are considering this in the afternoon so we can always refer to it in the same trading day so we could be anticipating a market reversal profile something to that effect if we have an elongated Market where say the New York session morning session rather of the current trading day is consolidation and then we have a directional lunch hour or during the lunch hour it's you consolidation as well we can refer to and if we're bearish we look at the previous sessions trading now if you look at the previous session and you're using electronic trading what specific low am I looking for I'm looking at the 9:30 in the morning to noon if I'm not going to look at the PM session range remember I'm taking you through very specific pools of liquidity I'm going to look past the PM session well why would I do that because we're already trading below it over here so would I refer to it for sell side no we're already below it so if I'm bearish what am I looking for what low am I looking for which draw on liquidity am I looking for in this regard I'm using the am session sside liquidity if I was bullish it would be everything I just said here in reverse and opposite I would be looking for the side but if we're bearish I'm looking for very specific pools of liquidity if I showed this on regular trading hours it would still get that low very important even though I'm showing you down [Music] here the electronic trading hours I'm doing this for the sake of showing you an understanding that whether your chart is on regular trading hours or electronic trading hours and I'm looking at previous daily range or if I want to trade below yesterday's lows what low am I looking at the PM session low or the am session L very very specific not ambiguous not well I don't know which one he's looking at he's always changing [ __ ] around no I'm not it's always the same stuff always the same logic always the same logic what's changing is the profile that I'm operating in because the market delivering a specific way and I have to adapt to that and then I anticipate I'm not reacting to price I'm anticipating where it's going to run to what does that mean everything I'm teaching you tonight now I don't expect you to watch this tonight and walk away feeling like you know everything about what I just said you're going to need to watch it a few times and if it's something you don't want to do you won't learn it I promise you you won't learn it one time watching it ain't going to work you need to listen to what I'm saying in here and then go into your charts spend weeks and months going back through it that's what will convince you that this is Sound Logic it's not contrived it's not conjecture it's not made up it's absolutely what the market does every week every day and it will not stop so you can see the previous am session low over here s side liquidity this dotted line here denotes we're looking at the 20th of June 2023 so I can't use the afternoon session high and low because we've already starting at 9:30 we're already below that so what am I looking for ICT what am I supposed to be looking for that low it doesn't matter if it was a lower low okay listen if there was electronic trading hours showing and it had a lower low and it went below that low here I would still listen I would still refer to the PM session range as as I mentioned a little bit ago in this presentation tonight and before that one I would go to this specific range here it's specific time I don't care about overnight highs and lows I'm looking at very specific regular trading hours regular trading hours is going to be referred to in next trading session they're either going to be respected or blown out it's simple that's not hard all right so let's blend some things here okay so as you can see we have several things here in this chart and this is today's trading the 21st of June 2023 and it's the E Min S&P and I photoshopped some things in here obviously the ous by saying that uh the opening range as I taught you here tonight that was one of the factors I utilized today in the if you're following me on Twitter I showed my PM session trade which is what you're seeing here using everything that I taught you tonight let's go through it okay this morning we were watching Fed chair Pal give his testimony at 10 o'clock and I had my favorite Usual Suspects that I like following on Twitter not Twitter on YouTube rather and those that were live streaming I listen to them and no disrespect gentlemen and ma'am uh they had really no idea what was going on which is exactly what one would expect because the Market's gting and going sideways it's just churning up accounts going sideways beating up everybody you have to wait until we get through lunch if Fed chair pal is going to talk and it's a 10:00 testimony or whatever wait wait for lunch just wait for lunch if you do that you will get the cleanest setup for the day the easy what what does that mean cleanest setup Michael what do you mean when you say that where everything just simply jumps off the chart and just it makes itself very obvious you want setups that are very obvious that's clean okay I don't want you as my student going into the marketplace and trying to just be an action hound and try to trade everything I don't teach my students to do that the ones that blow their accounts or fail their funded account challenges that's a characteristic that they have that is not a a derivative of learning from me that's a person character flaw and you can correct it you can fix it but you can't place that blame on me if you wait and you listen I cancel all of you real real time live on Twitter don't touch this right now all right focus on this time of the day and when it's appropriate I'll point to where the Market's going to go to next I did that today the opening range Gap here was utilized to get what would otherwise be done if you had done these same entries and managed the same position would have resulted in a 9,362 before commissions now I don't know about you where you are in the world and you know your Walkin life but uh almost $10,000 is is a pretty respectable amount of money I mean you can go into nice vacation with that you can uh get your spouse something really nice you probably do some really good Christmas shopping with that so that's not chump change and I want you to think about the logic that's shown here pal 10 o00 trash Market okay just ignore it just ignore it just don't even worry about it oh but it's gonna run it's GNA move that is you as a neoy Trader and an action Hound you feel like you have to be able to do something in that I'm telling you I'm telling you with 30 years of experience you don't need to you don't need to it's liberating when you just relax and say you know what this is the highest degree of manipulation right now and you don't I don't know what they're going to do because they can manually intervene and send price careening higher or lower and you won't be able to see it coming so don't torture yourself do something else sleep in go have breakfast with your spouse work out longer take your boat out ride your jet skis cut the grass whatever don't do don't do anything in the marketplace just wait and then what time does your shift start at 1:30 that's when the macro will start running at 1:30 the market creates a a low here Market trades down below the New York lunch sell side liquidity again they can sweep it again but notice it doesn't take that low here I don't require it to the logic is it's going down there once more just in case rallies comes back down into this down close candle which is a bullish order block I'm not teaching you order blocks in this lecture the market rallies we have displacement again fair value gaps and whatnot I promise you I'm going to take you into a 15 second chart where I utilize the information I'm going to show you here what I saw was the market dropped down below the initial New York lunch cide liquidity it's dropping down below here and then I'm anticipating it to go up into that opening range Gap that's this shaded area up here I don't need to show you an example where it goes all the way up there I'm teaching you lwh hanging fruit that's the first threshold for you to learn under my wing you can and you can see it tonight the logic is leave a partial on for that but I'm trying to encourage you while you're learning to learn how to do this modularly step by step you're not going to be a go out there and do you know a lot of contracts in one time you won't know how to do the pyramiding that you're going to watch me do here in a moment you're not going to know all that stuff okay and to remove all of the oh man I wish I would have had a partial on I wish I would have held it longer you don't know where your growth is going to be and how long it's going to take you to get to a point where you can trust doing that so I allow for and I build into my teaching room for you to develop independent from my personal timing see what what I think a student should require in terms of learning may be more or less than what it's going to require for you so I'm trying to be a realistic Mentor not just someone that says go through my workshop go through my training in this many days months weeks or whatever you're going to come out knowing what it is you're going to do and if you can't then you suck that that's just not practical so what I do is I teach you where the Market's going to go what is your Terminus Terminus while you're first learning is the easiest loow hanging fruit objective so if we're buying down here on the basis that that sell side liquidity pool for lunch has been swept here and we see this returning but not respecting a run into and below that low it's denying that and it showed a willingness to repel back above this low that's what I was looking through all this lows here I'm looking past all that going right to that low right there remember this low here doesn't get taken out until the PM session look at your chart I mentioned it earlier this low I trusted it but Michael what happens if it went down there then I would have got stopped out what yeah sometimes I get it wrong sometimes I mess it up sometimes I bring the baggage okay the scar tissue or my ego into it and I try to outperform my own algorithm and I get my ass handed to me and I get stopped out if the trade still valid I'll go back in and reenter you've watched me do that I've recorded myself doing that go on Twitter it's there it's there if I get it wrong you see it if I get stopped out you see it if I get stopped out and it's still a good trade I'll get back in if I get stopped out and I'm done I'm done I don't hide that from you so I'm buying Under the premise that we're returning into that sell side liquidity here one more time what is it doing here though if it's not taking out that low what is it doing it's trading below the rejection block which is the lowest closing price in this swing I don't need that low to be taken out I don't want to see it taken out so all the understanding of price action over here I'm anticipating this accumulation and smart money jumping on board like I was to run to relative equal highs and more specifically inside the opening range from regular trading hours where we stopped trading and where we started trading 42 22 and a half that's this high in here I could have very easily had a runner run up in here and try to get one tick below the high of the opening range Gap but if I do those types of things you already some of you already get pissed off at your own performance because you think you should have 30 years of experience in performance and results too because you watched my videos or you spent enough time which isn't realistic because none of you spend enough time to do what I'm doing it's not ego it's not it's not arrogance it's it's real practicality I mean think about it folks I may have 30 years of experience but I can't Pour That Into You in a short period of time and then you have 30 years experience too it's unrealistic and some of you are very hard on yourselves and you think that you should be able to do what I do so I try to teach with that in mind and I teach lwh hanging fruit those terms are my way of saying okay if it's going to go higher where is it going to go to logically well if it's taken cell side out here that means the cell stocks have been rated there and we swept down into the rejection block and preserve that low in the afternoon should see a run up into that Gap and for those that are you know wondering why should that happen and not take out the relative equal lows is because we've already worked below that am session low remember before we trade into well not traded but transitioned into this slide here we traded into the previous session am lows so we are really in a deep discount and that opening range Gap has not been traded into from the open it opened and ran away from it quickly it's never came up to it until here and it left what relative equal highs what time of the day did it do it between 12:00 and 1:30 so that's your lunch buy side liquidity everybody that's short thinks it's going to keep going down that's where their stop loss is who's doing that fun not retail Rick large funds Deep Pockets buying and every time the market gave me a buying opportunity very specific PD arrays on a 15 second chart I was entering this is a one minute chart by the way if you're looking at here it's one minute every one of these entries were based on a 15sec candle I recorded it I've already shared it on Twitter but for the folks that don't have Twitter or refuse to watch it cuz they don't want to be on the Bird app or whatever I got you covered tonight but every time it reached above relative equal highs I'm taking a partial profit up in here another partial profit Above This high in here partial profit and above the high here partial profit so I don't require it to trade Above This high and I'm teaching you that you don't need to do that either I mean if you got out just with this 4422 A5 that's below the actual liquidity Above This high and if you mimic this same trade in your own account whether it be funded or in live funds and you profited 9,362 are you going to beat yourself up because you didn't have that run up on to the opening range Gap High some of you might and that would be unfortunate that's not what I want you to think that would be really a toxic mindset about your performance and what you're trying to do you try very very hard to filter out negative thinking that's why social media is a work social media is like cancer okay for a developing student because everybody's got an ego they're all pulling her dicks out for a measuring competition okay and the point is you're trying to learn how to make money and all I'm trying to do is teach you how to keep stay in the game long enough so you can keep your money learn the skills that's I'm showing you so that way you can leave your [ __ ] job and live your life and do whatever you want to do okay and you don't need to listen to me rest of your life I don't I don't want to be doing these videos I don't want to be doing it so I'm leaving you a legacy so that way you can come back to this information take your kids to this information whatever and build Legacy wealth you don't need you don't need to entertain these people's egos you don't need to come back and keep me feeling good about myself either this stuff works but you have to graduate in your understanding about where's it going to go and be realistic and over time when you start seeing this unfold reasons for it to go higher you leave a runner on that's the only way if you're in there trading and you're thinking to yourself man I don't know I should probably leave a runner on here I know if I leave a runner on you it's probably gonna you stop me out and if I don't put one on it's going to run well put one on what's the worst thing gonna happen it's gonna stop you out and profit see you're wrestling with being right and many of you are trying to do that if you're doing it in front of an audience that is hard because not only are you wrestling with your internal dialogue about what you should do and how you're managing the trade but you're inviting everybody else's feedback to your trade and guess what guess what cboy that's not your trade anymore you've invited the entire Community that's watching you and your audience to manage your trade for you and that means you brought in a level of uncertainty fear Pride and pain that would otherwise not be there if you were just quiet about what the [ __ ] you're doing that's what this is all about folks it's not about getting out there and show showboating and show what you can do and prove this and prove that is it going to matter when you're paying off a house how many people believe you did it how many you going to have to come back here on social media when you hit seven figures and you're a millionaire how many of you have to come back to social media and go to the usual suspect and say h ICT made me a millionaire if you think that you're doing this [ __ ] for the wrong reasons the people that are really killing it they don't come to my Twitter they don't leave comments in my section of my videos they don't do any of that stuff they're out there living a life they've already thanked me they've already shared a testimony and they're doing big wheel [ __ ] grow like that all right so uh this is a 15-second chart and I have to make sure that I don't play sound on this I got to make sure I do this correctly here uh I recorded a song as I typically do on Twitter um I I love Twitter for that reason uh it's like a like a a textt message to you like if you had my personal phone number and yes there's a lot of people that have it and yes they [ __ ] abuse it and yes I'm changing my phone number in November a lot of you that listen to me or follow me on Twitter when I'm tweeting uh that's the same thing if if you were like my best friend and I'll say hey look at uh look at this Market here that's that's real time right now right from my mind right into Twitter and I can't put the music on in in a presentation format that I love doing over the years I used to be on Twitter before leaving it they started censoring me and I left it and I came back and one of the things I was looking forward to was uh going back in doing vignettes where I record myself executing putting on a trade putting the stop loss on managing it you know putting on a pyramid position building it up taking profits and watching the you position go from beginning to end and I usually put a song on there it may not be the type of song that you like it may have foul language in it it may be a genre that you don't like I don't give a [ __ ] because it's what I like okay I like doing that because it's just what I like doing uh it's usually received well in the community but I can't play that here because I'll get a copyright strike and I don't need all that [ __ ] here so I'll leave a link so that way you can look at it in the format that I gave on Twitter but you don't need it it's going to be the same thing here as a reminder every Candlestick you're seeing here is is a 15-second duration now think about that lunch sside liquidity pool and where the market was going to go up to now right now you're looking at the dollar Index it's going to change over to index Futures but I want you to think about what I showed you before we got to this slide here because when the when the video starts playing it's like two minutes long and I'll walk you through as much as I can but everything that has already been told to you tonight that's what I was using okay I promise you I didn't have something secret okay I everything that I taught you tonight is exactly what I implemented here and everything I'm commenting and annotating in the chart real time as I'm recording it that's what I was seeing so I try to do as much as I can in terms of annotating the chart showing the reference points where I think the Mark's going to be respecting certain levels and why it should behave a certain way keeping in mind that I'm doing this with 15c candlesticks so I have to know what the [ __ ] I'm talking about to be able to do this to you be able to annotate it show you where the levels are going to be respected how it's going to reach up to this and do think about seriously seriously folks think about what would be necessary to be able to know what's going on if you're just simply looking at the 15-second chart like everybody else on Twitter was doing today and they watched it and look at the comment section like what the the he what what the hell's going on how what 15 second forget the time frame forget the time frame think about what I told you tonight with the lunch macro it's running down to the sell side and it's going back up into that opening range Gap to take the buy side on the New York lunch High where the buy side is that's all that I'm doing and I'm going to use every PD array that is Discount I'm going to put in every every one of these things could have been your individual entry based on the things I taught just using a 15sec chart now there's other things if you were looking at a one minute chart far less entries obviously but you could see certain entry patterns or PD arrays to get into the trades based on a one minute chart two minute three minute four or five or a 15minute chart but you have less entry opportunities the higher time frame that you go so just to add insult injury for the people that say this is [ __ ] and it's faked and all this other stuff I go into these Ultra short-term time frames just to Overkill just to rub their nose in it to show you that this stuff works and it will work for you it ain't going to work for you the first time you watch the video it ain't going to be working for you because you watched a couple videos and you wrote a couple sentences down you think that's journaling you're going to have to really roll your sleeves up and dig into this stuff and study it it's a lifestyle if you don't make it a lifestyle forget about it it's it's it's not going to work for you you have to be passionate about it all right so I'm going long here on the S&P here's that uh run that didn't take out the low at 1:00 and I'm adding pyramiding and I've already annotated that fair value Gap and told you that it's an inversion fair value Gap that means it's going to go above it treat it as support and then rally up into the buy sides that I'm show you here so you can already see that 4422 even level is highlighted as buy side liquidity notice it's below that high I was showing you when we were covering the lunch liquidity so that's his order Block it's reclaimed and it dug into the uh inversion fair value Gap and for the folks that thinking oh the order block doesn't work see here that entire range is the order block and I'm adding into it here inside the fair value Gap that is already identified as an inversion fair value Gap so this is going to be dynamic support here watch how it respects it I've already shown you here it's going to go up and just like magic on a 15 second chart look at that it's unbelievable isn't it now my stop loss is below the inversion fair value Gap and I'm showing you where the executions are so everything matches now folks this is not replay none of that [ __ ] there's another partial here and my stop is below the low at 44 16 I don't want to chase it up there because that's inefficient it can trade down inside that so I don't want to put a stop loss at 44 17 and a half it can come back in there deeper I'm making allowance for that so my stop is staying below that I'm not in a hurry to guarantee higher profits I'm more concerned about my limit orders filling my stop is not being concerned about and here comes another run up into a 10 lot limit order that would put me at five remaining see that retracement down in there I'm not worried about that you might be freaking out because you put your stop loss higher or maybe even stopped out but this is proper stop loss management and there's the limit order and then now we're going to run for that buy side here and then once it runs that high I'm W to Trail my stop loss up then this is exactly what I shared on Twitter today okay everything was recorded this is not Market replay this is not uh the trading view replay none of that stuff okay the logic that I showed here doesn't show everything that I taught tonight but what I was utilizing because you don't hear me talking in in the the trade but the things that I'm doing to trade this everything I'm doing is what I was teaching you tonight it's not conjecture I didn't form fit it I do this stuff every single week with you all on Twitter over and over and over again and when time permits it I'll give an example every single day today I gave several examples this one today I told you to wait for the PM session that was the morning advice and I went in there and murdered it so every single one of these individual entries that could be your model some are better in terms of where their entry was but I'm using them as pyramiding opportunities none of the things in here that I showed violated any of the bullish order flow this is real order flow notice there's no Dom depth of Market level two data required no book map required everything that I've outlined here is shown to you on a time-based chart my partials are based on liquidity look at my exits on the partials they're at the highs my entries are in very key levels that would be a discount array for what I've taught you and I've done so on a 15c chart that's not even a minute it takes four these individual candles to make one minute does it look like noise to you look at how the market reacted right there I time traveled folks I time traveled when we were down here I drew this out and labeled it inversion fair value cap for the folks that have been following me for the last couple weeks and month or so probably two months I introduced the inversion fair value C okay so every one of my PD arrays can be utilized as a contant entry but unless you have the narrative in mind knowing where is it going to reach for where's the liquidity that's going to be drawing price next how do you know how do you know that ICT well you start it with the weekly candle where is it going to gravitate to I don't care if you use another of trading folks I don't care if you do trade with harmonic patterns okay if you use what I'm teaching here tonight it's going to make your [ __ ] start working the times that it fails it's going against what I'm teaching you tonight I promise you that is not arrogance or Pride or ego speaking your [ __ ] ain't working when it goes against this if you trade retail concepts with this stuff your retail [ __ ] will start working you don't have to like me okay you don't have to tell everybody you trade SMC or ICT or whatever the [ __ ] you want to call me okay I don't care I really don't care but I really want to see you succeed even if you [ __ ] hate my guts and you troll me and you make videos about me and all that [ __ ] I don't care I'm not losing any [ __ ] sleep okay I can still do this stuff whether you love me or hate me and I really want you to listen and you never ever ever have to tell me that it improved your trading I don't need it I know it works I want you to think about everything I talked about tonight and how it gives you a plethora of opportunities that will always be there folks these intervals they happen every day and guess what they can't hide it they cannot hide this information from you it doesn't require any kind of subscription to any [ __ ] thing it doesn't require you to do any anything extra it's simply just looking at the time intervals where is that pool of liquidity above and below and where does it fit in a narrative I'm guiding you I'm teaching you but teach me bias ICT this is all part of it it's all part of it go back and look at the tweets I've told you to focus on the PM session what is that 1:30 to 4 o'clock think how many opportunities are going to be much more Within Reach for you now because you have this understanding in price that doesn't mean you're going to be able to go out and do it tomorrow remember I said in this lecture tonight that you have to go through weeks and months of back testing studying what it's done logging it journaling it and encouraging yourself in the commentary in the chart that you screenshot that you put into your journal and you talk to yourself like you knew it was going to happen in advance and you're tricking your subconscious into believing that is experience and because you're sugar coating it with everything positive and you're never saying anything negative when you watch Real Time price it won't feel scary subconsciously if you always looked at Price action or looked at people like me or other people that you think are fraud scammers or they don't really know how to trade or whatever you are literally flooding your brain with toxicity and I guarantee you probably can't make a [ __ ] penny trading because you've done that this game is 90% psychological it's easy to talk yourself out of it and it's easy to program your mind to keep you in the game before you really know the skill set you have to cheerlead yourself nobody's gonna be able to do it for you just watching my videos is not enough I promise you I have paid members that have paid me and they still can't do it because they have not done what told them to do or they think they've done enough but they haven't the fruits and the results will come because of what they've done and they got to leave the [ __ ] at the door when they come in they can't bring in whiteoff theory and harmonics and other stuff and and try to blend it together you have to learn this first forget all that stuff learn this and then once you understand this it's easy to go into a John Murphy Financial uh uh what's it the technical analys of the financial markets that's the retail Traders Bible everything in that book everything in that book can be contrarian if you understand this but same side of the coin if you flip it over you can make those retail Concepts work if you understand this premise tonight see the problem with retail Traders is they don't look at the market like this they're looking for patterns for pattern sake they're looking for indicator confirmation they're looking for things that cuts through all the they think noise or uncertainty or randomness of price action if you're believing that price is random what the [ __ ] are you thinking the indicator is going to do it's not changing the randomness it's just adding something else to believe in so that's not the right way the right way is understanding why price delivers the way it does and it does on a basis of time and price there's a time that it operates and it's reaching for a very specific price I've already taught you the time elements and tonight I've taught you the price elements time and price between those two you will always have a setup for life you can have a breaker you can have a institutional orderflow entry drill you can have a fair value gap an inversion fair value Gap I did this trade today to rub the nose of the guy that was in my comment section and know you don't see him but he's in the videos where I U it looks like my comment section open is is open rather like It's usually the pre-recorded videos I think it's what it I think I don't think it lets you do a comment or doesn't look like there's going to be comments open for a live stream but when I do a pre-recorded video the section underneath the video it looks like you can leave a comment and I have so many people saying first first first first comment whatever that's silly but invariably I get some goober that comes in there and will say like you know this is never done in advance you you you're making this stuff up it doesn't work it only works sometimes well it that's true for you because you don't know what the [ __ ] you're doing but I know what I'm doing and in inversion fair value gaps I know which fair value Gap is going to be invert here it is folks and I've shown it to you on a 15-second chart like you can't get any planer than that it's real it's absolutely a real phenomenon it's really there but you know what makes it valid and how to predict it understanding liquidity understanding time and price that lunch hour that nobody goes to lunch the algorithm runs on that liquidity and then it starts repricing and spoiling to the next pool liquidity so since it took sell side okay what did I teach you price only goes up to take buy side or buy stops or it goes up to an inefficiency above market price that's the only two [ __ ] reasons that price goes goes up period end of story I don't care how many years you've been trading you can call yourself a market maker I don't care what institution you worked for you bank at this one you did this trading for that when you manage funds I don't give a [ __ ] price only goes up for one or two reasons to go up to an inefficiency above market price or it runs up for buy side liquidity buy stops that's it folks that is it it's not going up because of buying pressure and it's not going down because of selling pressure it's going down for inefficiency below market price or it's going down for sell out liquidity period and a story that is it if it's not doing one of those two things it's going sideways I already teach you and taught you the economic calendar tells you when it's going to consolidate so what does that leave up or down okay how do you know if it's going to go up or down look at the weekly chart what is it going to reach for on that Weekly Candlestick something above the price or below the price which is the most obvious there's going to be a fair value gap or liquidity which is the most easiest closest proximity PD array it's probably going to go to that one but what if you're wrong then you [ __ ] lose what the f You're Gonna Lose sometimes you're gonna lose folks you're gonna did it wrong sometimes why are you afraid look at how many new opportunities are made available to you now you have information that is not found anywhere else I have laughed at all these [ __ ] clowns for 30 years on an internet pretending they had some kind of Holy Grail and they're clueless they're absolutely clueless and they perpetuate and regurgitate all the stuff that I fought in books over 2,000 books and it's all horseshit and I just can't bring it to throw I can't bring myself to the point of throwing them away because number one I spent a lot of good money on it I worked hard for that money and it just reminds me of what I had to Wade through and all the horeshit and lies and garbage that people believe that makes these markets move up and down and it's all horeshit it's a waste of time all the things that you think is going to make the price go up and down if it's in a book unless I wrote it it's all horseshit and yes I just let pride and ego speak right there because I can do it I have the author I have the authority to do so you have a setup for life if you use this information I've given you the freedom to be able to pick what your entry model is going to be which one are you going to use is it going to be an order block a fair value Gap optimal trade entry inversion fair value Gap turtle soup uh consequent encroachment of a wick all these things are left into your hands and I'm making allowance for that because I don't know where you started in my videos and if you're wondering where to start the 2022 model or 2022 mentorship it's 41 videos I promise you if you start there you will get the shortest route to going into the charts and finding something that works every [ __ ] day every day it works every day now here's here's the caveat it may not work in the market that you're looking at right now but it's in the every single one of these markets it's in there so what does that mean if you're an index Trader it will be in one index it may be in multiple index but it might only be in one and that's why I teach you to look at all three of the averages the Dow the NASDAQ and the S&P it may not be in the pound but it is in the Euro you see the difference that's why I teach at least a Triad when I taught predominant only Forex I was teaching dollar euro dollar and pound dollar you can't miss it then it's there you have to have intermarket relationships and study like that with a closely correlated Market Euro and cable or euro dollar and pound dollar are closely correlated they're inversely correlated with the dollar so when the dollar goes up they go down but just because the dollar is going down doesn't mean it's a good buy to be in Euro sometimes it's a better buy in cable most times it's better than cable better in cable rather but there's going to be times when the dollar is going sideways and the Euro or cable May outperform one or the other what does that mean it just means that the real trade is not in that one it's in the Exotic meaning that you can use the pound dollar if it's really running or it's predisposed to go up more if the dollar is consolidating that means you probably have a really good trade short I'm sorry long in pound Yen don't take my word for it just consider it I've done lessons and core content about that stuff too those videos are not coming down in November everything on this YouTube channel will stay I won't be here updating it after November but I promise I will leave you with more than you will ever need and you study at your own pace don't rush if you rush you just make it just makes your learning curve longer you can't you can't speed learn this you can't learn I saw a guy I watched all the ICT videos and I've condensed it into 15 videos and now you can do it quicker and sooner and faster and more efficiently bull that's [ __ ] you hear that that's me laughing at your [ __ ] ass you are clown if you think you can take everything I've done and condense it into the smallest little time frame of of presentation you're going to miss so much information there's so much information in the stuff I've given and you don't even appreciate what it is because you just went through it one time and you haven't even started trading with real money and when you start trading with real money and you come back and you watch those same videos again you're like oh [ __ ] he said that I didn't hear that the first time you're going to swear up and down that I made an edit to the video and I haven't it just doesn't mean anything to you right now because you're not even a demo Trader yet with consistency when you start trading with real money the lessons and all those droning discussions jaw boning by ICT all that stuff's going to be much more meaningful to you it's going to be rich understanding because it'll be you that's prepared to hear it you're not prepared to hear it most times you're not and to be honest with you I'm not talking to you I'm talking to my children that's what all this is for that movie with Michael Keat in my life that's what I'm doing right here when I'm gone they'll have all this they'll have all this to listen to in compare and contrast with notes that I have for enigma which I am not teaching and none of these presentations ever had Enigma in them and no joker has cracked it and figured it out either they may call what the [ __ ] they're doing Enigma that ain't even close I promise you it's not even close I am enigma [Music] appreciate you hanging out with me tonight hopefully this was insightful and helpful to you in your learning and if you could give me a thumbs up on the video doesn't cost you anything and it's an encouragement for me to want to come back and do more like this till I'll talk to you next time be safe
