ICTโ€™s PD Array Matrix Is The Missing Piece You NEED!

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
๐—ฃ๐—— ๐—”๐—ฟ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜†๐˜€

PD Arrays are institutional reference points that signal a potential shift in buying & selling activity.

They are identified as discount arrays when price is below equilibrium and premium arrays when price is above equilibrium. Image

A form of smart money order mitigation. This is what creates what is known to many as โ€œsupportโ€ & โ€œresistance.โ€ This is a โ€œfailure swing.โ€

A mitigation block occurs when there is a high, a low, and a higher high. (Inverse for bearish) Image

A breaker block is essentially a mitigation block that takes liquidity.

This is a โ€œbreaker swing.โ€ We mark a breaker block using the last up close/or series of up close candles prior to an old low being swept. (Inverse for bearish) Image

FVG's are aggressive, one directional price movements that create a gap where there is an imbalance of buyers or sellers.

Price will often return to these imbalances to offer fair value. Image

An order block represents a change in the state of delivery in the market. It is not simply every down-closed or up-closed candle. Order blocks act as a bookmark in price. A high probability ob takes liquidity & creates an FVG. Image

Areas where there is a concentration of buy or sell orders resting. Traders place stop loss orders around these swing points, and the market often targets them, providing the liquidity for larger market participantsโ€™ orders. Image

Most people use FVGโ€™s wrong.

Hereโ€™s ๐Ÿฏ ๐—ฐ๐—ผ๐—บ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—บ๐—ถ๐˜€๐˜๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜€ people make with FVGโ€™s and how to solve them.

If price is drawing to a higher timeframe FVG, the one you are using will not hold. The higher timeframe FVG will act as a stronger magnet for price.

You must understand what price is doing from the top down. Image
The HTFโ€™s: M, W, D, 4h act as the strongest magnets for price.

For example, if we are looking to trade off of a 1h FVG, but donโ€™t know that price is currently drawing to an FVG on the daily, that 1h FVG is MUCH more likely to fail. This why many of your FVGโ€™s do not hold. Image

Order Flow Shifts: MSS, CISD, ST

Which One Is The Best?

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
An order flow shift is simply
price changing from bullish โ†’ bearish or bearish โ†’ bullish.

There are 3 popular ways to identify price shifting order flow: MSS, CISD, & ST.

A change in trend.

MSS focuses on the swing point where the trend changes.

We want to see displacement (FVG) through the swing point, confirming the shift in trend.

High probability MSS create FVG through the swing point. Image

Finding DOL Has Never Been Easier!

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
To arrive at the draw on liquidity consistently we must first understandโ€ฆ

Price is only ever doing 1 of 2 things:

- Seeking liquidity (ERL)
- Offering fair value (IRL) Image
ERL: External Range Liquidity
IRL: Internal Range Liquidity

Price cycles from:
ERL โ†’ IRL.
IRL โ†’ ERL.

This is all price does..

To understand the Draw On Liquidity (DOL) it is important to first understand WHY price moves the way it does.

Price is only EVER doing 1 of 2 things:
โ€ขSeeking liquidity (ERL)
โ€ขOffering fair value (IRL)
External Range Liquidity (ERL) can be simplified to swing points (old highs & lows) Image

Fair Value Gaps (The Best PD Array)

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
How to identify a fair value gap in price:

A FVG is a 3 candle sequence where an imbalance of buyside or sellside forms. The key is that the wicks of the 1st candle and 3rd candle do not touch due to the 2nd candleโ€™s large expansion. This creates a very visible gap. Image
Fair value gaps can occur on both sides of the market; on buy side and one sell side. FVGโ€™s are also known as BISI and SIBIโ€™s, below is an example.

BISI (+FVG): Buyside Imbalance, Sellside Inefficiency Image

ERL/IRL - How To Utilize It

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
To arrive at the draw on liquidity consistently we must first understandโ€ฆ

Price is only ever doing 1 of 2 things:

ERL: External Range Liquidity

Price cycles from ERL โ†’ IRL. IRL โ†’ ERL. ๐Ÿ” Image
In order to find ERL/IRL, we want to mark out our most recent price range. We do this by marking out the most recent swing low to swing high.. We do not worry about the โ€œoldโ€ ranges to the left of the chart. Image
