3 ICT: Green folks, this is a quick review of the euro dollar. And I'm going to
4 give you some ideas about what I might see in analysis going forward. And it may
5
6 2
7 00:00:25,800 ~-~-> 00:00:34,740
8 or may not be of any value to you, because obviously, the large move has already
9 transpired today. Okay, so I am readily admitting that this is hindsight, did
10
11 3
12 00:00:34,740 ~-~-> 00:00:44,580
13 not participate in this move at all, was enjoying the day away from the market.
14 So I've already made my PIP quota for the week, in this big move of the week
15
16 4
17 00:00:44,670 ~-~-> 00:00:56,820
18 wasn't necessary for me to be a participant for me to do very well this week.
19 Okay, so first thing, first things first, we have a few classic chart patterns
20
21 5
22 00:00:56,820 ~-~-> 00:01:14,850
23 in here and kind of go over that before we go anything else. And all this do
24 this. I use the Oh x here. Alright, so we have this high, we have this high. And
25
26 6
27 00:01:14,850 ~-~-> 00:01:27,870
28 we have this high here. And inside that pattern is a classic head and shoulders
29 pattern. Okay, and nothing terribly exciting about that. But I kind of want to
30
31 7
32 00:01:27,870 ~-~-> 00:01:46,980
33 draw your attention to that. And also on a larger degree. If we go a little bit
34 bigger on that. Not as big of a difference is it? I want you to take a look at
35
36 8
37 00:01:46,980 ~-~-> 00:02:04,170
38 this. Hi. So now we have head and shoulders, and then a larger head and
39 shoulders pattern here. Okay, so we could possibly see a move. Okay, well, let's
40
41 9
42 00:02:04,170 ~-~-> 00:02:04,680
43 use
44
45 10
46 00:02:13,470 ~-~-> 00:02:23,070
47 I'll go with that as our neckline, okay. And the reason why I'm doing that is
48 I'm looking through the wicks, I'm trying to get an idea of how many times I can
49
50 11
51 00:02:23,070 ~-~-> 00:02:48,060
52 get multiple touches. And I'm going to use that 1705 level. So when you 1705,
53 just to round it to a five level. And we're going to do a projection and the
54
55 12
56 00:02:48,060 ~-~-> 00:03:03,450
57 high all the way down to the neckline. Okay, so I have this move here. And now
58 we're going to project it from that break on that neckline right here today. And
59
60 13
61 00:03:03,450 ~-~-> 00:03:24,390
62 it's gonna take us down into about the 1320 level. Okay. So 1320 could be
63 potentially where we go and look at the, the movement on this neckline, we
64
65 14
66 00:03:24,390 ~-~-> 00:03:35,070
67 basically have already fulfilled this head and shoulders pattern, break of the
68 neckline, and we've hit it today. So that's actually been completed. But for
69
70 15
71 00:03:35,130 ~-~-> 00:03:45,390
72 entering a term or a little bit longer term perspective, we could see 1320 I'm
73 not saying how to get there overnight, but I probably shouldn't say that.
74
75 16
76 00:03:46,230 ~-~-> 00:03:56,760
77 probably end up doing it now that said that, but we could see 1312 a little bit
78 longer term basis. Okay. So with that, I'm going to drop down into a little bit
79
80 17
81 00:03:56,760 ~-~-> 00:04:07,920
82 lower timeframe, and kind of look at something today and go over something for
83 you as an example, to run drop into an hourly chart, per euro. Okay, so we have
84
85 18
86 00:04:07,920 ~-~-> 00:04:17,340
87 the 60 minute, euro dollar chart, okay. And I want you to look at this price
88 action here. Obviously, this is very exciting. Everybody wants to trade these
89
90 19
91 00:04:17,340 ~-~-> 00:04:29,550
92 types of things here. Okay, and I'm not going to give you the false sense of
93 expectation that you're going to be able to do these types of trades here. This
94
95 20
96 00:04:29,550 ~-~-> 00:04:43,140
97 could very easily have gone higher on the ECB announcement and press conference
98 today. Okay, so you got to be very, very careful learn. We're ahead of a big
99
100 21
101 00:04:43,650 ~-~-> 00:04:55,770
102 rate announcement. FOMC it's just, it could be very dangerous if you don't know
103 what you're doing. So to be responsible, as a mentor, because I know a lot of
104
105 22
106 00:04:55,770 ~-~-> 00:05:04,380
107 you folks are listening to me and you're gonna do things I'm telling you not to
108 do. Because you're trying to chase money chase pips, I knew if I stayed in front
109
110 23
111 00:05:04,380 ~-~-> 00:05:12,240
112 of the charts today, I would probably make comments about what I thought what's
113 going to happen. And I don't want anyone taking trades on that getting
114
115 24
116 00:05:12,240 ~-~-> 00:05:23,220
117 themselves hurt. So I took great deal Liberty today, give myself at bay. So
118 without making this video too long, I want you to take a look at this, okay, and
119
120 25
121 00:05:23,220 ~-~-> 00:05:30,660
122 consider the pattern I've been teaching you. And that way we can go through
123 price action and see one more example of this occurring, but I'm going to kind
124
125 26
126 00:05:30,660 ~-~-> 00:05:40,230
127 of like supercharge it tonight, I'm going to give you a couple different things
128 to amplify it. Okay, the system itself, the method itself hasn't changed. It's
129
130 27
131 00:05:40,230 ~-~-> 00:05:52,080
132 not morphing into something entirely different. But it's going to start bringing
133 in some other ICT concepts like the orderbox. Okay, and help you get to why I
134
135 28
136 00:05:52,080 ~-~-> 00:06:03,240
137 was looking for certain things to happen. And also, why I failed to get to where
138 I thought was gonna go. But still, it's a good thing. Okay. So, I want you to
139
140 29
141 00:06:03,240 ~-~-> 00:06:12,750
142 look at this chart. And where did we leave it? In terms of a high, we've left it
143 back here. Okay. And I want you to take a look at these last you up close
144
145 30
146 00:06:12,750 ~-~-> 00:06:22,590
147 candles, okay? Because these are like Voodoo. Okay, when I named my candle
148 pattern to help identify institutional
149
150 31
151 00:06:24,480 ~-~-> 00:06:34,770
152 setups and entry points, I came up with just a simple definition called in ICT
153 order block. And reason why I call it the ICT order block. And people are now
154
155 32
156 00:06:34,800 ~-~-> 00:06:43,380
157 using them all over the place, they call them blocks, they want to keep it
158 short, it sounds like it's theirs. But it's the ICT order block. And basically,
159
160 33
161 00:06:43,380 ~-~-> 00:06:53,880
162 it's a, it's the last time we saw a large degree of institutional selling
163 institutions have to sell as price go up. And when prices go down, institutions
164
165 34
166 00:06:53,910 ~-~-> 00:07:04,080
167 have to do their buying. On that basis, they cannot do any other way. Okay, so
168 they have to see it go up, they go short, because they have to reach into a pool
169
170 35
171 00:07:04,080 ~-~-> 00:07:15,690
172 of liquidity or draw in the buyers, as they sell in to that move. Okay, so they
173 fade the high, and they fade the low. So all we have to do is look where price
174
175 36
176 00:07:15,690 ~-~-> 00:07:27,300
177 has shown a willingness to move away with a strong degree of magnitude them at
178 magnitude is how far it moves away. Okay, and then speed also has a definition
179
180 37
181 00:07:27,600 ~-~-> 00:07:36,300
182 that helps find these Hallmark little footprints, if you will, of smart money.
183 So I want you to take a look at the last two up close candles in here. Now,
184
185 38
186 00:07:36,330 ~-~-> 00:07:42,900
187 don't look at these little things in here. Because they're, they're going to be
188 problematic. If you do that, you want to look for these really obvious big bulky
189
190 39
191 00:07:42,900 ~-~-> 00:07:52,860
192 candles, okay, on the upclose. right inside the highs, now it could be the very
193 high, or it could be a candle or two before the very high. Okay, all we're doing
194
195 40
196 00:07:52,860 ~-~-> 00:07:59,820
197 is looking for the last series of appcode upclose candles, because that's going
198 to be the ICT bearish order block, I really should have called them Voodoo
199
200 41
201 00:07:59,820 ~-~-> 00:08:06,090
202 blocks or something like that, because then it probably would have been really
203 cool. And it probably would have been much more intriguing. But a lot of folks
204
205 42
206 00:08:06,090 ~-~-> 00:08:14,580
207 just think that this is not of any value because they look at every closed
208 candle and assume that it should be a block. There's specific definitions and
209
210 43
211 00:08:14,730 ~-~-> 00:08:21,900
212 details that go along with make making the order block what it is. But I'm
213 highlighting this one here, because I'm gonna be mentioning it in future
214
215 44
216 00:08:21,900 ~-~-> 00:08:31,080
217 tutorials. And I want you to see how it was catalyst for today's move over here.
218 Okay. So I also want you to take a look at how price moves up to I was calling
219
220 45
221 00:08:31,080 ~-~-> 00:08:41,580
222 for the next upside objective to be 118 40. And then should 118 40 give way or
223 trade above it. I was looking for a move above these equal highs. And that would
224
225 46
226 00:08:41,580 ~-~-> 00:08:50,070
227 take us around that 118 60 level. Now obviously we didn't get there. We did go
228 to my 118 20 to the PIP yesterday didn't go one PIP above it went right to
229
230 47
231 00:08:50,070 ~-~-> 00:09:00,180
232 118 20. And I'll show you that real quick. Right here, this is a new day. So the
233 highest point comes in at 1820. Right there, then it goes to a new trading day.
234
235 48
236 00:09:00,690 ~-~-> 00:09:13,440
237 Right there. Okay, so precision as it can possibly get. Now, my 1840 failed, it
238 was not arrived. But I'm gonna show you why it doesn't make a difference. Not
239
240 49
241 00:09:13,500 ~-~-> 00:09:25,890
242 that I was trading it. But I want you to see if we look at this price range
243 right here. Okay, this price range here. We're going to use that to forecast if
244
245 50
246 00:09:25,890 ~-~-> 00:09:36,990
247 you will, another important high. Now important high, obviously is going to be
248 this one here. But if we want to find a target, why did it go to 118 36? Because
249
250 51
251 00:09:36,990 ~-~-> 00:09:44,760
252 these are the questions I asked myself as I was coming up as a trader that led
253 me to become focused on such precision because I believe that the markets are
254
255 52
256 00:09:44,760 ~-~-> 00:09:54,000
257 manipulated, if they're manipulated, therefore, there must be someone in
258 control. So if it's in control, then they have an ideal scenario or a template,
259
260 53
261 00:09:54,000 ~-~-> 00:10:02,400
262 if you will, what they think price should do or how it should behave inside a
263 specific timeframe. In this case, we're Going to intraday. So we're going to
264
265 54
266 00:10:02,400 ~-~-> 00:10:14,700
267 take a look at the two areas of price action, okay, and I'm going to draw your
268 attention to this candles body as it matches this one here, okay, cuz the open
269
270 55
271 00:10:14,700 ~-~-> 00:10:23,340
272 on this one, the close of this candle here are the same, and it's going to be
273 1735. And I want you to look at the highest candles body right in here. This is
274
275 56
276 00:10:23,340 ~-~-> 00:10:30,900
277 our reference points that we use for a fib. When I did the optimal trade entry,
278 OT e primer video on YouTube channel, we're going to look at these two reference
279
280 57
281 00:10:30,900 ~-~-> 00:10:39,750
282 points, this candle here in this candle here. That's defining this trading
283 range. Okay, so these are dealing ranges. So whenever you see price, moving in
284
285 58
286 00:10:39,750 ~-~-> 00:10:48,300
287 specific consolidations, like that, it's going to be rather significant in the
288 future, because at some time that dealing range is going to be breached. So when
289
290 59
291 00:10:48,300 ~-~-> 00:10:56,310
292 we leave that dealing range, where does it reach for what's the next level of
293 dealing, and I'm gonna show you how to do that incorporating the optimal trade
294
295 60
296 00:10:56,310 ~-~-> 00:11:01,620
297 entry and bearish order blocks. So I'm going to make it real quick and save
298 myself a whole lot of time.
299
300 61
301 00:11:03,810 ~-~-> 00:11:13,140
302 And boom, there you go. So now I have this low and this high referenced here,
303 the fib is drawn up on those reference points, specifically. And here's the ICT
304
305 62
306 00:11:13,140 ~-~-> 00:11:24,120
307 bull. bearish order block the last two upclose candles. And you can see here
308 that I have a reason to go crazy with OCD. Got to keep these lines straight,
309
310 63
311 00:11:24,120 ~-~-> 00:11:32,610
312 because otherwise I'll lose my mind. I was looking for 1840. And the reason why
313 I'll say an 1840 books, it was the open on this last upclose candle. Okay, so
314
315 64
316 00:11:32,610 ~-~-> 00:11:44,850
317 1840 was going to be my objective to reach for, okay, should we get past 118 36.
318 Now, why is why 1936 the high, because it's exactly the symmetrical price swing
319
320 65
321 00:11:44,850 ~-~-> 00:11:53,910
322 I taught you with the optimal trade entry primer. That's what makes my fib
323 optimal trade entry, because I'm giving you the optimal levels in terms of how
324
325 66
326 00:11:53,910 ~-~-> 00:12:02,490
327 the banks are going to look for confluences. Now I'm not saying banks are
328 trading with Fibonacci, because they're not. But it has an uncanny ability to
329
330 67
331 00:12:02,490 ~-~-> 00:12:11,850
332 overlap with levels that the banks do, in fact, trade with. And that's these
333 levels back here, because they sold here before. And they went right back to
334
335 68
336 00:12:11,850 ~-~-> 00:12:23,580
337 here. Now look at the bodies of the candles respecting that open on this candle
338 here. It's gonna be 118 28. And this candle is closed comes in at 118 28. This
339
340 69
341 00:12:23,580 ~-~-> 00:12:38,610
342 candle open comes in at 29 this candles closes at 29. And we can see a lot of
343 action around that opening price of the lower of the two upclose candles, two
344
345 70
346 00:12:38,610 ~-~-> 00:12:46,530
347 candles back to back can represent a order block. Okay, and ICT order block. In
348 this case, it's a bearish order block. Why because it was last to close candles
349
350 71
351 00:12:46,530 ~-~-> 00:12:53,910
352 as they sold into that move. And it moved away quickly. And it had a lot of
353 magnitude moving away from that price range. So we know that there was
354
355 72
356 00:12:53,910 ~-~-> 00:13:02,700
357 institutional selling institutions are so vast, and with their orders, they
358 cannot put their whole entire order on up here. So they have to wait for price
359
360 73
361 00:13:02,700 ~-~-> 00:13:11,310
362 to come back up to that level and they sell it again. And they put a larger
363 degree of movement, or orders in the in the marketplace. This level here is
364
365 74
366 00:13:11,310 ~-~-> 00:13:23,070
367 exactly our symmetrical price swing. It doesn't go one PIP less or above it goes
368 right to it too high 118 36. So are symmetrical price swing, it nails that one,
369
370 75
371 00:13:23,100 ~-~-> 00:13:34,290
372 but what I was looking for is maybe it might fluff through that number because
373 of ECB and push into 1840 or spike through run these highs hit 118 60. And then
374
375 76
376 00:13:34,290 ~-~-> 00:13:43,500
377 I would have been expecting a turtle suit or false break above that high and
378 then maybe drop down on the year. As it happens, you know, it only goes to
379
380 77
381 00:13:43,500 ~-~-> 00:13:51,630
382 118 36. And it looks like beautiful cherry picking but you'll see these concepts
383 are being referred to over and over and over again and they're in the same
384
385 78
386 00:13:51,630 ~-~-> 00:14:00,330
387 capacity. I'm not changing rules. I'm not blurring the lines. It's the same
388 thing, folks every single trading day. Now with this real quick I'm going to
389
390 79
391 00:14:00,330 ~-~-> 00:14:10,380
392 drop down into a lower timeframe. game we're looking at a five minute chart of
393 the euro dollar and I told you to start looking at the seven o'clock in the
394
395 80
396 00:14:10,380 ~-~-> 00:14:20,520
397 morning New York time and watching to the bias obviously we can see here the
398 market is making a strong impulse to move lower. Wait for a retracement up about
399
400 81
401 00:14:20,520 ~-~-> 00:14:29,580
402 20 pips. Okay, from this low here, we can clearly see that it does in fact trade
403 up higher than 20 pips, but it goes right back to the 62% retracement level
404
405 82
406 00:14:29,700 ~-~-> 00:14:40,440
407 beautifully sells off. Target one hit target to hit and symmetrical price swing
408 events he hits right here for a day trade a beautiful example that it's all
409
410 83
411 00:14:40,440 ~-~-> 00:14:50,220
412 hindsight I did not trade this, but I'm just showing you again, just to solidify
413 the rules I've already given you. It's not a totally new approach to it. It's
