ICT YT - 2017-10-26 - Integrating ICT Concepts - ECB Review.srt

00:00:10,650 --> 00:00:25,800
ICT: Green folks, this is a quick review of the euro dollar. And I'm going to
give you some ideas about what I might see in analysis going forward. And it may

2
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:34,740
or may not be of any value to you, because obviously, the large move has already
transpired today. Okay, so I am readily admitting that this is hindsight, did

3
00:00:34,740 --> 00:00:44,580
not participate in this move at all, was enjoying the day away from the market.
So I've already made my PIP quota for the week, in this big move of the week

4
00:00:44,670 --> 00:00:56,820
wasn't necessary for me to be a participant for me to do very well this week.
Okay, so first thing, first things first, we have a few classic chart patterns

5
00:00:56,820 --> 00:01:14,850
in here and kind of go over that before we go anything else. And all this do
this. I use the Oh x here. Alright, so we have this high, we have this high. And

6
00:01:14,850 --> 00:01:27,870
we have this high here. And inside that pattern is a classic head and shoulders
pattern. Okay, and nothing terribly exciting about that. But I kind of want to

7
00:01:27,870 --> 00:01:46,980
draw your attention to that. And also on a larger degree. If we go a little bit
bigger on that. Not as big of a difference is it? I want you to take a look at

8
00:01:46,980 --> 00:02:04,170
this. Hi. So now we have head and shoulders, and then a larger head and
shoulders pattern here. Okay, so we could possibly see a move. Okay, well, let's

9
00:02:04,170 --> 00:02:04,680
use

10
00:02:13,470 --> 00:02:23,070
I'll go with that as our neckline, okay. And the reason why I'm doing that is
I'm looking through the wicks, I'm trying to get an idea of how many times I can

11
00:02:23,070 --> 00:02:48,060
get multiple touches. And I'm going to use that 1705 level. So when you 1705,
just to round it to a five level. And we're going to do a projection and the

12
00:02:48,060 --> 00:03:03,450
high all the way down to the neckline. Okay, so I have this move here. And now
we're going to project it from that break on that neckline right here today. And

13
00:03:03,450 --> 00:03:24,390
it's gonna take us down into about the 1320 level. Okay. So 1320 could be
potentially where we go and look at the, the movement on this neckline, we

14
00:03:24,390 --> 00:03:35,070
basically have already fulfilled this head and shoulders pattern, break of the
neckline, and we've hit it today. So that's actually been completed. But for

15
00:03:35,130 --> 00:03:45,390
entering a term or a little bit longer term perspective, we could see 1320 I'm
not saying how to get there overnight, but I probably shouldn't say that.

16
00:03:46,230 --> 00:03:56,760
probably end up doing it now that said that, but we could see 1312 a little bit
longer term basis. Okay. So with that, I'm going to drop down into a little bit

17
00:03:56,760 --> 00:04:07,920
lower timeframe, and kind of look at something today and go over something for
you as an example, to run drop into an hourly chart, per euro. Okay, so we have

18
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:17,340
the 60 minute, euro dollar chart, okay. And I want you to look at this price
action here. Obviously, this is very exciting. Everybody wants to trade these

19
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:29,550
types of things here. Okay, and I'm not going to give you the false sense of
expectation that you're going to be able to do these types of trades here. This

20
00:04:29,550 --> 00:04:43,140
could very easily have gone higher on the ECB announcement and press conference
today. Okay, so you got to be very, very careful learn. We're ahead of a big

21
00:04:43,650 --> 00:04:55,770
rate announcement. FOMC it's just, it could be very dangerous if you don't know
what you're doing. So to be responsible, as a mentor, because I know a lot of

22
00:04:55,770 --> 00:05:04,380
you folks are listening to me and you're gonna do things I'm telling you not to
do. Because you're trying to chase money chase pips, I knew if I stayed in front

23
00:05:04,380 --> 00:05:12,240
of the charts today, I would probably make comments about what I thought what's
going to happen. And I don't want anyone taking trades on that getting

24
00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:23,220
themselves hurt. So I took great deal Liberty today, give myself at bay. So
without making this video too long, I want you to take a look at this, okay, and

25
00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:30,660
consider the pattern I've been teaching you. And that way we can go through
price action and see one more example of this occurring, but I'm going to kind

26
00:05:30,660 --> 00:05:40,230
of like supercharge it tonight, I'm going to give you a couple different things
to amplify it. Okay, the system itself, the method itself hasn't changed. It's

27
00:05:40,230 --> 00:05:52,080
not morphing into something entirely different. But it's going to start bringing
in some other ICT concepts like the orderbox. Okay, and help you get to why I

28
00:05:52,080 --> 00:06:03,240
was looking for certain things to happen. And also, why I failed to get to where
I thought was gonna go. But still, it's a good thing. Okay. So, I want you to

29
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:12,750
look at this chart. And where did we leave it? In terms of a high, we've left it
back here. Okay. And I want you to take a look at these last you up close

30
00:06:12,750 --> 00:06:22,590
candles, okay? Because these are like Voodoo. Okay, when I named my candle
pattern to help identify institutional

31
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:34,770
setups and entry points, I came up with just a simple definition called in ICT
order block. And reason why I call it the ICT order block. And people are now

32
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:43,380
using them all over the place, they call them blocks, they want to keep it
short, it sounds like it's theirs. But it's the ICT order block. And basically,

33
00:06:43,380 --> 00:06:53,880
it's a, it's the last time we saw a large degree of institutional selling
institutions have to sell as price go up. And when prices go down, institutions

34
00:06:53,910 --> 00:07:04,080
have to do their buying. On that basis, they cannot do any other way. Okay, so
they have to see it go up, they go short, because they have to reach into a pool

35
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:15,690
of liquidity or draw in the buyers, as they sell in to that move. Okay, so they
fade the high, and they fade the low. So all we have to do is look where price

36
00:07:15,690 --> 00:07:27,300
has shown a willingness to move away with a strong degree of magnitude them at
magnitude is how far it moves away. Okay, and then speed also has a definition

37
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:36,300
that helps find these Hallmark little footprints, if you will, of smart money.
So I want you to take a look at the last two up close candles in here. Now,

38
00:07:36,330 --> 00:07:42,900
don't look at these little things in here. Because they're, they're going to be
problematic. If you do that, you want to look for these really obvious big bulky

39
00:07:42,900 --> 00:07:52,860
candles, okay, on the upclose. right inside the highs, now it could be the very
high, or it could be a candle or two before the very high. Okay, all we're doing

40
00:07:52,860 --> 00:07:59,820
is looking for the last series of appcode upclose candles, because that's going
to be the ICT bearish order block, I really should have called them Voodoo

41
00:07:59,820 --> 00:08:06,090
blocks or something like that, because then it probably would have been really
cool. And it probably would have been much more intriguing. But a lot of folks

42
00:08:06,090 --> 00:08:14,580
just think that this is not of any value because they look at every closed
candle and assume that it should be a block. There's specific definitions and

43
00:08:14,730 --> 00:08:21,900
details that go along with make making the order block what it is. But I'm
highlighting this one here, because I'm gonna be mentioning it in future

44
00:08:21,900 --> 00:08:31,080
tutorials. And I want you to see how it was catalyst for today's move over here.
Okay. So I also want you to take a look at how price moves up to I was calling

45
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:41,580
for the next upside objective to be 118 40. And then should 118 40 give way or
trade above it. I was looking for a move above these equal highs. And that would

46
00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:50,070
take us around that 118 60 level. Now obviously we didn't get there. We did go
to my 118 20 to the PIP yesterday didn't go one PIP above it went right to

47
00:08:50,070 --> 00:09:00,180
118 20. And I'll show you that real quick. Right here, this is a new day. So the
highest point comes in at 1820. Right there, then it goes to a new trading day.

48
00:09:00,690 --> 00:09:13,440
Right there. Okay, so precision as it can possibly get. Now, my 1840 failed, it
was not arrived. But I'm gonna show you why it doesn't make a difference. Not

49
00:09:13,500 --> 00:09:25,890
that I was trading it. But I want you to see if we look at this price range
right here. Okay, this price range here. We're going to use that to forecast if

50
00:09:25,890 --> 00:09:36,990
you will, another important high. Now important high, obviously is going to be
this one here. But if we want to find a target, why did it go to 118 36? Because

51
00:09:36,990 --> 00:09:44,760
these are the questions I asked myself as I was coming up as a trader that led
me to become focused on such precision because I believe that the markets are

52
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:54,000
manipulated, if they're manipulated, therefore, there must be someone in
control. So if it's in control, then they have an ideal scenario or a template,

53
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:02,400
if you will, what they think price should do or how it should behave inside a
specific timeframe. In this case, we're Going to intraday. So we're going to

54
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:14,700
take a look at the two areas of price action, okay, and I'm going to draw your
attention to this candles body as it matches this one here, okay, cuz the open

55
00:10:14,700 --> 00:10:23,340
on this one, the close of this candle here are the same, and it's going to be
1735. And I want you to look at the highest candles body right in here. This is

56
00:10:23,340 --> 00:10:30,900
our reference points that we use for a fib. When I did the optimal trade entry,
OT e primer video on YouTube channel, we're going to look at these two reference

57
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:39,750
points, this candle here in this candle here. That's defining this trading
range. Okay, so these are dealing ranges. So whenever you see price, moving in

58
00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:48,300
specific consolidations, like that, it's going to be rather significant in the
future, because at some time that dealing range is going to be breached. So when

59
00:10:48,300 --> 00:10:56,310
we leave that dealing range, where does it reach for what's the next level of
dealing, and I'm gonna show you how to do that incorporating the optimal trade

60
00:10:56,310 --> 00:11:01,620
entry and bearish order blocks. So I'm going to make it real quick and save
myself a whole lot of time.

61
00:11:03,810 --> 00:11:13,140
And boom, there you go. So now I have this low and this high referenced here,
the fib is drawn up on those reference points, specifically. And here's the ICT

62
00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:24,120
bull. bearish order block the last two upclose candles. And you can see here
that I have a reason to go crazy with OCD. Got to keep these lines straight,

63
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:32,610
because otherwise I'll lose my mind. I was looking for 1840. And the reason why
I'll say an 1840 books, it was the open on this last upclose candle. Okay, so

64
00:11:32,610 --> 00:11:44,850
1840 was going to be my objective to reach for, okay, should we get past 118 36.
Now, why is why 1936 the high, because it's exactly the symmetrical price swing

65
00:11:44,850 --> 00:11:53,910
I taught you with the optimal trade entry primer. That's what makes my fib
optimal trade entry, because I'm giving you the optimal levels in terms of how

66
00:11:53,910 --> 00:12:02,490
the banks are going to look for confluences. Now I'm not saying banks are
trading with Fibonacci, because they're not. But it has an uncanny ability to

67
00:12:02,490 --> 00:12:11,850
overlap with levels that the banks do, in fact, trade with. And that's these
levels back here, because they sold here before. And they went right back to

68
00:12:11,850 --> 00:12:23,580
here. Now look at the bodies of the candles respecting that open on this candle
here. It's gonna be 118 28. And this candle is closed comes in at 118 28. This

69
00:12:23,580 --> 00:12:38,610
candle open comes in at 29 this candles closes at 29. And we can see a lot of
action around that opening price of the lower of the two upclose candles, two

70
00:12:38,610 --> 00:12:46,530
candles back to back can represent a order block. Okay, and ICT order block. In
this case, it's a bearish order block. Why because it was last to close candles

71
00:12:46,530 --> 00:12:53,910
as they sold into that move. And it moved away quickly. And it had a lot of
magnitude moving away from that price range. So we know that there was

72
00:12:53,910 --> 00:13:02,700
institutional selling institutions are so vast, and with their orders, they
cannot put their whole entire order on up here. So they have to wait for price

73
00:13:02,700 --> 00:13:11,310
to come back up to that level and they sell it again. And they put a larger
degree of movement, or orders in the in the marketplace. This level here is

74
00:13:11,310 --> 00:13:23,070
exactly our symmetrical price swing. It doesn't go one PIP less or above it goes
right to it too high 118 36. So are symmetrical price swing, it nails that one,

75
00:13:23,100 --> 00:13:34,290
but what I was looking for is maybe it might fluff through that number because
of ECB and push into 1840 or spike through run these highs hit 118 60. And then

76
00:13:34,290 --> 00:13:43,500
I would have been expecting a turtle suit or false break above that high and
then maybe drop down on the year. As it happens, you know, it only goes to

77
00:13:43,500 --> 00:13:51,630
118 36. And it looks like beautiful cherry picking but you'll see these concepts
are being referred to over and over and over again and they're in the same

78
00:13:51,630 --> 00:14:00,330
capacity. I'm not changing rules. I'm not blurring the lines. It's the same
thing, folks every single trading day. Now with this real quick I'm going to

79
00:14:00,330 --> 00:14:10,380
drop down into a lower timeframe. game we're looking at a five minute chart of
the euro dollar and I told you to start looking at the seven o'clock in the

80
00:14:10,380 --> 00:14:20,520
morning New York time and watching to the bias obviously we can see here the
market is making a strong impulse to move lower. Wait for a retracement up about

81
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:29,580
20 pips. Okay, from this low here, we can clearly see that it does in fact trade
up higher than 20 pips, but it goes right back to the 62% retracement level

82
00:14:29,700 --> 00:14:40,440
beautifully sells off. Target one hit target to hit and symmetrical price swing
events he hits right here for a day trade a beautiful example that it's all

83
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:50,220
hindsight I did not trade this, but I'm just showing you again, just to solidify
the rules I've already given you. It's not a totally new approach to it. It's

84
00:14:50,220 --> 00:14:57,750
simple rules being applied again. You can see here one more example of it
happening for the New York open setup. Hopefully you found this insightful and

85
00:14:57,750 --> 00:14:59,940
until next time, I wish you good luck and good trading
