SMT is the most ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐—ช๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ trading confluence you can use.

Hereโ€™s exactly how you can use SMT to ๐˜€๐˜‚๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ด๐—ฒ your trading results.

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
SMT is defined as a โ€œcrack in correlation.โ€ This is the market showing its hand.

The simplest way to spot a crack in correlation is by identifying a failure swing between correlated assets.

The market only turns in 2 ways: breaker swings or failure swings. Image
SMT can be utilized in many ways:

Confirming stop hunts & trends

Confirming reversals

Identifying relative strength/weakness

๐—ฅ๐—˜๐— ๐—˜๐— ๐—•๐—˜๐—ฅ.. we always want to be longing the strongest of the two, and shorting the weakest of the two. This is relative strength/weakness. Image
But ๐—ช๐—”๐—œ๐—ง, before you go mindlessly looking for SMT in your charts, it is important to know TWO things:

1. You must learn the different assets and their correlated counterparts.

Here is a list of all correlated assets in the forex, index, and commodities markets: Image
2. You must understand how to implement SMT into your trading.

SMT should be used as a confluence to a pre-existing trade idea.

We only look for SMT @ HTF PDA.

There has to be proper context behind WHY price is likely to reverse off a certain level before we look for the SMT. Image
SMT is an ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—บ๐—ฒ๐—น๐˜† powerful tool when used properly. It is an amazing way of confirming reversals @ HTF PDA and identifying the relatively stronger/weaker asset to trade. I highly recommend giving it a try!

ICTโ€™s Unicorn Model Is The Most ๐—ฃ๐—ข๐—ช๐—˜๐—ฅ๐—™๐—จ๐—Ÿ Algorithmic Entry Model

Here's EVERYTHING you need to know to capitalize on unicorns:

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
This model can be an absolute ๐—บ๐—ผ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜† ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ฟ when used correctly. I personally trade unicorns on ES & NQ.

The unicorn model consists of 3 main components:

๐—ง๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ

๐—” ๐—•๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—•๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ

๐Ÿญ. ๐—ง๐—ถ๐—บ๐—ฒ

Time is always the most important. It will always be time first, then price.

We want to be utilizing unicorns within ICTโ€™s killzones, preferably at open times. I personally use 9:30AM Equities Open & trade ES/NQ. Image

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
๐— ๐—ถ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป ๐—•๐—น๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ธ

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

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.

A Thread ๐Ÿงต Image
๐—จ๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—™๐—ฉ๐—šโ€™๐˜€ ๐—ช๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜๐—ฒ๐˜…๐˜

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.

๐—”๐—น๐—น ๐Ÿฏ ๐—ผ๐—ณ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—บ ๐—บ๐˜‚๐˜€๐˜ ๐—ผ๐—ฐ๐—ฐ๐˜‚๐—ฟ @ ๐—ฎ ๐—›๐—ง๐—™ ๐—ฃ๐——๐—”. Image

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:

ERL: External Range Liquidity
IRL: Internal Range Liquidity

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

This is all price does..
