ICT MODEL
Classic Buy Day

"This one template right here is the #1 principle that I use to make millions of real dollars, not demo dollars" - ICT Concept

- Asia Ranges
- London Open manipulation into sellside HTF PD array
- Expansion in opposing direction of manipulation (buyside)

BREAKER BLOCKS

SIMPLIFIED

🧵 Concept behind Breaker Blocks:

• Short term high/low forms
• MUST take out STH/STL within a HTF key level
• Displaces in the opposite direction of the sweep flipping the order block into a breaker block

• Bullish - A bullish breaker block is an up close candle in the most recent swing high prior to an old low being violated
• Bearish - A bearish breaker block is a down close candle in the most recent swing low prior to an old high being violated

LIQUIDITY

SIMPLIFIED

🧵 Concept:

Price moves from an area of liquidity to another area of liquidity. Buyside liquidity represents an old high where buy stops rest above, sellside liquidity represents an old low where sell stops rest under - these are considered external liquidity. Once price takes out external liquidity it often seeks internal liquidity, this is in the form of fair value gaps.

SMT DIVERGENCE

SIMPLIFIED

🧵 Concept:

Two correlated assets briefly decorrelate on a specific timeframe (must be the same timeframe) which indicates a reversal. SMT divergence can be spotted using highs and lows, for example one asset forms a higher low while its correlated asset forms a lower low.

IMBALANCES

SIMPLIFIED

🧵 Fair Value Gap:
• Inefficient price offering also known as an imbalance in price

Volume Imbalance:
• Imbalance in candle body volume

Opening Gap:
• When price is left unoffered (Used on the weekly and daily timeframe)

ORDER BLOCKS

SIMPLIFIED

🧵 High Probability:
• Large candle body, shorter wicks
• Most reliable order block

Low Probability:
• Small candle body, longer wicks
• Can still be used in context but less reliable

$BTCUSD

Think we break up from this range to take out the 21.9k equal highs and fill the premium weekly fvg. Will look for shorts up there upon confirmation. No position atm but isn't it a thing of beauty?

ICT TEMPLATES

Training your eye to recognise patterns which occur frequently (London>NYO reversal) or establishing your daily bias (buy/sell day) may turn a losing day into a winning day.

It's not guaranteed these templates will play out, it depends on the context. • Buy day/sell day

There are things you can do to get a better 𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘯𝘪𝘰𝘯 on daily bias for today or the next day but be aware it's never guaranteed. In a bullish market the PDH should be the target and PDL should be supported, (vice versa for sell days).
