🧵 How to Find Your Daily Bias (Simplified)

Forget overcomplication. I’ll show how I build my daily bias step-by-step using clear zones and simple rules from HTF structure → FVG zones → session context → LTF price action.

✅ Step 1 — Check the Daily & 4H
Start on the Daily. Find an obvious HTF Fair Value Gap (FVG) that zone builds your bias:

• Price holding below the FVG → lean bearish.
• Price breaking/closing above the FVG → lean bullish.
No clear Daily FVG? drop to 4H (then 1H).

🔽 No FVG? Step down
If Daily has no clear FVG, step timeframes: 4H → 1H → 15M (15M lowest for a daily bias).

At each level ask: “Is there an obvious FVG I can use?” → Yes = bias zone. No = step down.
If 15M still shows nothing → treat bias neutral (trade smaller or stand aside).

WHAT EXACTLY IS OHLC / OLHC?

Understanding the relationship between open high low close/open low high close can reveal the real story behind a candle

It’s a simple concept that gives deep insight into price action

A thread 🧵

Each candle no matter the timeframe follows a specific sequence: OHLC (Open High Low Close) or OLHC (Open Low High Close)

This structure repeats across all timeframes

By understanding this on higher timeframes you can spot cleaner setups and precise entries on lower timeframes

When you're *bearish* you ideally want to *short above the open* selling at a premium before price moves lower

Combine this with a *liquidity sweep* and you’ll find the *highest quality setups*

WHAT EXACTLY IS A BREAKER BLOCK?

Why do so many traders rely on them and how can they improve your winrate?

Turns out, they’re much easier to understand than most traders think.

A thread 🧵

A Breaker Block forms through a specific sequence in price action:
First a low is created, followed by a high

Then price makes a lower low taking out liquidity beneath the first low
After that a higher high which confirms the shift in market structure

The breaker is the candle before this move which is a key level where price often returns before continuing in the new direction

You also want to see price displace above or below the initial swing high or low and create a Fair Value Gap to confirm the shift in market structure

WHAT EXACTLY IS AN PROPULSION BLOCK?

Why is it so effective and what makes Propulsion Blocks worth adding to your strategy?

How are they different from regular Orderblocks and why might they offer even cleaner entries?

They’re much simpler than most traders think

A thread 🧵

A Propulsion Block is a secondary Orderblock that forms immediately after price reacts to a prior OB

It typically results in a strong displacement which makes it a high-probability confluence for your entries or continuations

Why does it have such a high probability to work out?

Because the initial Orderblock already shows signs of institutional activity. When a second OB (the Propulsion Block) forms right after it confirms momentum which makes it high probability
1️⃣ Price takes out liquidity
2️⃣ Price closes above or below the candle that triggered the liquidity sweep forming the initial OB
3️⃣ Price retraces to that OB and moves aggressively away
4️⃣ That move creates a second OB the Propulsion Block confirming the reversal with momentum

WHAT EXACTLY IS AN ORDERBLOCK?

The “secret” ICT concept everyone’s talking about.

Why is it so popular — and are OBs really that effective?

Turns out, they’re much simpler than most people think.

Let’s break it down

A thread 🧵

An Orderblock, also known as a Change in State of Delivery is a signature in price that signals potential reversals and serves as a strong confluence in trading strategies.

An Orderblock forms when price sweeps any kind of liquidity. For a high probability Orderblock, price should create a FVG when closing above or below that last candle which took the liquidity.
