In this SERIES of threads, I'll cover everything about Standard Deviations
One of the most underappreciated ICT Concepts available, they are used to PINPOINT the HIGH and LOW of the day & More
Chapter 2 - Central Banks Dealers Range
Central Banks Dealers Range is a small consolidation period between 16:00/4pm New York Time - 20:00/8pm New York Time
Every day you will see a consolidation from 16:00 –20:00 and it will continue into Asian session
During this time smart Money are analysing the market based on the open position to see what their next move will be
This will help us to know oversold/overbought areas without looking at indicators
The Deviations will help us to know where the high and low of the day will form
Look for entire range between 16:00 – 20:00 (don’t trade between these times)
Specifications:
Ideally, you want the range to be a consolidation mo more than 40 pip
Preferably 20-30 pips in total
Fibonacci:
To draw the standard deviations of CBDR we will use the Fibonacci tool
How to pull the fib:
You can either choose to pull it from
-Wick to Wick
-Body to Body
I prefer Wick to Wick as I measure the range from Wick to Wick as well
DISCLAIMER (Burger Analogy)
Standard Deviations are a great ADDITION to your model
If you don't have a solid profitable base that works and you can find successfully adding Standard Deviations (And other core concepts remember the Burger Analogy) will only hurt you.
The High/Low of the Day Usually forms from 1-3 Standard Deviations of CBDR
Alignment
You want the Standard Deviations Levels to align with a PD Array
Its needles to say that for this model to work you will need to have mastered daily bias
Without knowing where we expect to expand for that day of the week the potency of this model falls of greatly.
If you want to learn daily bias read through my weekly profiles thread.
Q: What if the CBDR isn't a consolidation or it isn't a 20-30 pip range?
A: You look for Standard Deviations of other ranges (Asian Range, Flout) which i will cover in future threads

In this series, I will cover one of the most important topics you NEED to learn as an ICT trader if you want to find success in the markets.
I'll be sharing crucial knowledge about IPDA that you missed while binge-watching ICT.
🧵
The 4 elements of a trade setup are: 1. Expansion 2. Retracement 3. Reversal 4. Consolidation
One of these will give you that Context and Framework to build a setup around based on the current
market conditions.
→ Expansion is paired Orderblocks
→ Retracements are paired with FVG's and Imbalances
→ Reversals are paired with Liquidity Pools & Stop Hunts
→ Consolidation is paired with Equilibrium.
"When are you dropping a mentorship?"
"Do you do 1on1's ?"
"Where do I learn ?"
"Can you teach me?"
...
And similar messages regarding me dropping some knowledge for $.
So will I be dropping a private mentorship?
Fuck no
Why?
The time-to-reward ratio isn't worth it for me
I would rather enjoy 5 hours of the day w my girl, and friends, chilling, and enjoying life than be sitting down cooking up a mentorship
I value my time over everything.
At this current point, I'm not doing it even if I made 1 mill in a day
I tried making one a while back I made an announcement and a lot of people were interested but I didn't follow through cause I couldn't be bothered
This pattern will unfold most often during the NFP, FOMC, and Interest Rates Announcements twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
After opening , market will consolidate before the News
During the News releases price will drop to induce traders and take stops (this move might not be that big below the consolidation but it has to break the consolidation)
After clearing the stops and inducing, the price will move into the true direction
You have to find a PD Array below the consolidation and wait for a reaction from it,
