Knowing all the fancy ICT stuff is great

NWOGs, Reaper FVGs, Inverse Breakers, etc... But few can actually use them to build a trading model

So today, I'm going to share the exact trading model I use, with detailed examples and charts

Let's get it 🧵

First of all, I’d recommend all of you guys to read through The Fundamentals series before reading this thread.

It goes over Liquidity, Market Structure, PD Arrays, Daily Bias and Time & Price

You can find all of them at the "Highlights" tab on my profile. Enjoy!

For this example, I’m going to use $NQ and give you a breakdown on how you could’ve traded it during the first week of December

(despite everyone saying December is a bad month to trade)

First off, we start on the 3-month chart. We can see that price is on an uptrend.

We can also see price just rebalanced a 3-month FVG and is heading higher.

So our bias is bullish.

Then we can move down to the 1-month chart.

We can see that price is still bullish, and is expanding higher

Our target is Buyside Liquidity (blue line)

On the Weekly chart, we can see that price formed a Fair Value Gap.

I'll mark it out on the chart if price decides to tap into it

I trade from 8 am EST onwards for indices

As we can see, we have Sellside Liquidity and the Weekly FVG resting below us

I'm expecting price to sweep Sellside Liquidity and tap into the Weekly FVG.

Price tapped into the Weekly FVG and swept Sellside

Now we can head down to the low timeframes to look for an entry

As you can see, price broke structure and there's a FVG that formed

I'll go long at the FVG, and target 2R

SL is 2 ticks below the low

SL hit

-1R

A rule of thumb I follow is:

- 2 losses or 1 win

Then I'm done trading for the day. Prevents overtrading and helps you secure your profits when you're in the green

At 11:05 EST, price made a MSS and created a small FVG

I went long at the FVG, stop 2 ticks below the low and my target is 2R

p.s. I don't consider wicks as valid MSS. I always wait for a candle close above a swing high/low

And TP hit!

Up 1R for the day

So in summary, here's what I look for before placing a trade

- Narrative
- Daily Bias
- Time & Price
- HTF PD Array
- LTF MSS
- Target 2R

Time:
Indices - NY AM Session
Forex - London Open Killzone & AM Session

HTF PD Array
FVGs or IFVGs H1 or above

This model will usually provide 1-3 setups per week, on each pair

But the key is you must have a clear Bias, else you'll get chopped up on the lower timeframe.

I'd recommend you to backtest this on whichever pair you trade the most, and verify the results yourself

That's a wrap!
