NQ Market Review: Trade Recaps and Breakdown

hello guys welcome back to a new video and to a new trade Recaps and breakdowns and NQ market review of today's price action so I'll be explaining uh some of the trades that I took only two actually on today's price action and this one was one of the easiest am session to trade it was textbook right here price was expanding in One Direction and and it gave multiple opportunities do it in in this beautiful Trend to the upside so all the trades will be again based on this strategy easy we want to sweep inside the Zone that's it that's all we need and then a confirmation here again we're going to use it as for higher time frame same model for the higher time frame to the determine the bias or the direction and on Lower time frames to execute so the trades that took one position from here it was like 1.5 hour and another long position from here as you can see only two so first of all before we get in into the trades we need the higher time frame so if we go to the 1 hour time frame what can we see right here so based on the two previous videos that I've uploaded on my channel we were expecting this down move and then here when price was trading down down and rejecting from this 1 hour time frame here it failed to take this slow and we have only a sweep after that we have the confirmation that we are looking for right here a CSS confirmation above the candle that caused the sweep right and then price after that expanded to the upside and now this is Wednesday so what happened during Wednesday if we go to the 15 minute time frame all right we have this pattern right here price expanded to the upside started ranging and then here to to upside liquidated all this highs right here and then one more time sweeping the lows and then expanding higher so here we can see that buyers right here was stopped out so people who buy um the retest of this uh previous resistance so a resistance turned into support and then expand higher they were stopped out right here and then the support turned into resistance also uh the traders that trade this pattern also were stopped right here so we took liquidity on both sides and this one right here as you can see it failed to take the low right here so the same pattern we have the sweep right here fa to close below it and then the CSS confirmation right here it happened here so this is the last candle down move that uh created the low right here to it above it return one more time and then expand it to the upside on the 5 minute we also have the and it's a lot cleaner and you get you can get like um an early entry so on the 5 minute also we couldn't sweep the low right here and we tapped into this fractal all right Frank right here tapped into it failed to take this only sweep return back to the diagram right here all right and then if we look closer we have that CSS confirmation that you are looking for as you can see here so here with this model we have predicted a 930 open right based on the 15 minute and the 5 minute and CSS confirmation so beautiful setup but I didn't TR trade at the 9:30 open I prefer to trade later on so based on the higher time frame are looking for Longs right we are expanding High soil all we need is that we need uh or I need I need to see a sweep below some uh previous lows and then the same pattern and we do have that here so on the one minute let's go to the one minute here we start trading higher so I start trading after 10:30 here we have the sweep right and then the CSS confirmation right here so this was my entry my first entry took it from here once price closed above the candle so it closed here not here here right and then return back into the zone so this is my first entry right here my first trade and we also have really nice lows or highs to Target right uh it was like a 1.5 or 1.6 R right and if you tell me like where is the zone so for here we need a Zone if you go to the 15 minute or right the 15 minute we are already inside the zone as you can see here so we are already inside the Zone we are expanding from the zone so this was the setup right here this is only a confirmation I don't need another Zone to take it we are already expanding we are already in um in the middle of a higher time frame setup right so it was really high prob as you can see here some beautiful setup moving on to another opportunity it happened here as you can see I was expecting this low to be taken maybe into this fractal or maybe something right here and price didn't take this low unfortunately but I suspected that this was an smt Divergence and it was right so as you can see here I don't use smts but it is still a useful tool from ICT right as you can see here and our setup printed itself on another pair another asset here you go P full we have the close and then return back into the zone and then price St to the upside but since I trade only NQ I didn't take this setup otherwise this was all also a beautiful setup right here as you can see anyway moving on to the second trade which was this one right here we have the sweep of liquidity right sweep and then we have the break of structure but I didn't wait for price to return back to my entry it was like like we know that we are in a in a bullish Trend in a really strong Trend to the upside so I know that price will expand High expand higher to the upside especially we have these smooth edges right here so I didn't wait for it to come back to the zone right here I only take one to one and the target are way above us so I take it from here and it was really a good decision because I missed a lot of Trades because of this yesterday I didn't take any trade but I missed three A+ setups because of this I was waiting for price to come back to my zone and it didn't it didn't top me in and it was really really frustrating and I had to close the chart so and the good thing about my model it's a good it's good and bad at the same time so the good thing is that we are positioning ourself just before the expansion right after each uh sweep that happens we are likely to expand higher a new L to the upside H it moves really really quick that's a good thing the bad thing is that if we are not quick if you are greedy about the entry price will not uh to us in and you will miss this really move a huge move to the upside so a trade from here and again targeting 1.5 or 1 six I was targeting this high and obviously price traded way way more to the upside and the Zone I used um a 5 minute zone so if we zoom in right here we have this frl right here on the 5 minute and price Taps into it perfectly so notice the high right here of this candle the high of the fral and the low of this candle right here perfectly here right and then we trade it to the upside Zone Zone first we want to see sweep we don't want to see body closures and then easy a CSS confirmation and you can trade and you can Target something on the upside another setup was presented I believe later on but I didn't take it I was done for the day so it was right here notice how we have this one this low and this low all equal lows we have the sweep on here the CSS confirmation here price returned back into the Z and then traded to the upside and the Zone was this right here if we follow the candles all the way to here and then here and then here so here we go this right here is a Zone beautiful sweeping these lows into a Zone say confirmation and then expanding to the upside so as you can see only longs and price didn't really offer any clean uh shorts maybe except at this one right here we have a nice we have a nice short right here we have the CSS right here and then price return back into here sweeping this here right and then at the CSS confirmation as always return close here return back into the zone and this was a short position but you don't want really to take shorts when we are trading here when we are really in a strong uptrend so another uh opportunity here I don't believe this was inside the Zone but as you can see the pull back was really short and then we traded so I hope you liked this video if you have any questions DM me in my Twitter account or leave a comment down below
