Flout is the total range of the CBDR and Asian Range that has been divided in half as 1 STDIV.
In other words Flout is CBDR+AR halved
When do we use FLOUT?
We use flout when CBDR and Asian Range are not favorable meaning both of them arent in the pip count sweetspot and consolidating.
Time For FLOUT
As previously mentioned FLOUT is the combination of Asian Range and CBDR halved meaning we need to use the beginning of CBDR and the end of Asian Range
Therefore the time window for the Fibonacci pull would be 4pm- 12am, New York Time
Specifications for FLOUT
Unlike CBDR and Asian range flout doesn't need a consolidation or a Pip threshold to be used therefore we just use the Highest High and the Lowest Low of the range from 4pm to 12am.
Seeking Setups
If our bias is Bullish we look for confluences of FLOUT Standard Deviations with Discount Arrays/Bullish PD Arrays on the H1
If our bias is Bearish we look for confluences of FLOUT Standard Deviations with Premium Arrays/Bearish PD Arrays on the H1
Settings
Fibonacci settings are similar to the CBDR and AR but instead of Integers (-3,-2,-1,0,1,2..) we are adding .5 values as well
The implementations of Standard Deviations should be accompanied by liquidity pools and PD Arrays.
Ideally you want the STDIV level to be aligned with a PDH/PDL or Intraday High/Low
As in every previous thread I need to stress how important daily/directional bias is.
The goal of using Standard Deviations is to use them when we have a clear bias on the daily timeframe accompanied with time of day(killzones) in which price will likely experience volatility.
Combining Liquidity, PD Arrays, Time of Day and Standard deviations is what we're aiming for.

The next thread i do on this series will be about intraday profiles that help with concluding whether the HOD/LOD has formed

Chapter 3 -Using Asian Range Perfectly
🧵
In this thread i will be covering EVERYTHING you need to know about the Asian Range, its intricacies, and of course its Standard Deviations and how it helps in finding the low of the day accurately.
Introduction
Asian Range is a time window prior to London Open and New York Midnight / True Day Open
With a correct directional bias we can utilize Asian Range to frame the day and decypher the markets intentions for that current day.
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 bingewatching ICT.

This is the 2nd edition of "ICT Elements To A Trade Setup" series
In this chapter, I will be following up on Chapter 1's ending so everyone is caught up.
Short summary on Chapter 1:
"The Marketplace is manipulated by IPDA and manipulation is spotted by 4 elements: Expansion, Retracement , Reversal ,Consolidation (Accumulation). All markets start off with a Consolidation and then follow up with an Expansion with an Impulsive move"

🧵
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.
