00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:20,400
ICT: Okay, folks, taking a look at the Dollar Index here, and I'll give you a
reason why I outlined this morning. And we've done that New York session
2
00:00:20,700 --> 00:00:31,590
timeframe. I felt that cable was a buy. we outlined or at least I drew your
attention to studying the formation of it, knowing what you've been taught so
3
00:00:31,590 --> 00:00:42,240
far. But someone give you a little heads up about why I felt it was warranted.
And admittedly, I didn't take any trades today. So we're only going on the basis
4
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:51,660
of me pointing to the cable trade that set up in New York. But I'll show you
also how that also builds the case for other foreign currencies being bullish
5
00:00:52,080 --> 00:01:03,870
intraday. Alright, so we had Friday's trading in here, it gave up a lot of the
range on Friday from a tie. And we start a new week here, Sunday, really don't
6
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:13,860
really pay too much attention to it. We had a really nice run on Thursday. So
the chances of it continuously going higher, and it could happen sure could, but
7
00:01:13,890 --> 00:01:24,270
most likely, chances are traders are going to sit on the sidelines and wait and
see what transpires going forward. And that either results in a consolidation or
8
00:01:24,270 --> 00:01:33,270
sometimes a retracement. Okay. And if we can get some kind of indication that
that's bearish on the dollar. If you look at the Dollar index on the London
9
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:42,570
session, I'll leave that portion to your study. You'll see they had a really
nice optimal trade entry for sell for the dollar index. So we're going with that
10
00:01:42,570 --> 00:01:50,340
premise in mind and we'll go through the majors real quick and show you what
optimal trade entry patterns formed today Okay, first of all list is the euro
11
00:01:50,340 --> 00:02:00,840
dollar. And I got the ICT kill zones on the chart here you can see clearly it's
the London open kill zone and the New York kill zone these are ICT kill zones
12
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:12,120
these are referencing specific times of the day. They're not areas in the chart
like it's been taught on YouTube in other teaching circles if you will. the kill
13
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:24,840
zone is is specifically a time window in intraday it's all it is. So an ICT kill
zone for London is specifically the sweet spot is two o'clock in the morning to
14
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:31,140
four o'clock in the morning. You see creates the higher low of the day and
that's what you're seeing out here. Okay, you see the low for me in here. Now
15
00:02:31,140 --> 00:02:38,520
that's not the lowest of the day. Obviously you can see the low forms over here
a little bit earlier in the day during Asia but you know we're going to use that
16
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:50,010
low infared out this particular move right in here. Okay, so from Asia we have a
rally up Why is this one gonna be affected in because we have highs being broken
17
00:02:50,280 --> 00:03:04,470
here and then we have it again breaking. So if we do get a retracement while the
dollar is bearish report for optimal trade entry in here. All right, and we'll
18
00:03:04,500 --> 00:03:12,630
drop that radio here and what I'm doing some laying the line right on top these
bodies these candles here. And here. Boom right there. Optimal trade entry long
19
00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:24,000
and open rallies up symmetrical price swing. Now look what happens it gets 123
times at least a really clean price level. I've mentioned this many times before
20
00:03:24,450 --> 00:03:38,250
in my group, we refer to this as a Candyland. Okay, this is a sweet spot of
liquidity in the market does, in fact, retrace all the way back down into
21
00:03:38,250 --> 00:03:47,220
another one optimal trade entry versus using the same reference points framed
off of this range. But right back down to the sweet spot 70.5 level and then
22
00:03:47,220 --> 00:03:57,360
rise all the way back up to do what clear up these buy stops, to even to clean
charts don't like this, keep that stuff intact, the markets will come back and
23
00:03:57,660 --> 00:04:08,340
disrupt that perfection. Okay, so that's what that run is here. A beautiful
example of that. Two examples autotrader in London open and atrangi and the New
24
00:04:08,340 --> 00:04:18,930
York session Okay, next on the list is euro pound. And you can see here in
London open kill zone ICT time window for looking for the London higher load
25
00:04:18,930 --> 00:04:31,830
form. And we're going to put a fit one on use the highest open or close down to
the lowest open or closed not the wicks. Okay, is the optimal trade entry in
26
00:04:31,830 --> 00:04:43,020
here. beautiful example of that. sells off rather handsomely all the way back
down into the New York ICT kill zone and takes us right down into the
27
00:04:43,020 --> 00:04:48,720
showstopper. This is a 200 extension by the way. This needed to have that little
flair there in case you hadn't noticed it yet.
28
00:04:49,980 --> 00:05:00,630
So beautiful example of the euro pound taking a dive. Now notice also that the
euro dollar as we mentioned in the previous chart, didn't have a whole lot of
29
00:05:00,630 --> 00:05:08,820
movement, it was kind of like a consolidation day, back and forth, they don't
have much of a trend. And euro pound did. And so if you're $1 is being held in
30
00:05:08,820 --> 00:05:18,090
consolidation, and we check out what's going on over in the cable market. This
will explain all this move here. Okay, so now we're looking at the cable or
31
00:05:18,090 --> 00:05:29,190
British Pound USD. And before I start marking us all up, obviously, you can see
a nice low the day, this is the low of the day on this particular pair during
32
00:05:29,190 --> 00:05:37,710
the ICT, London open kill zone, sweet spot. Now again, at the beginning this red
line at the end of this red line, just draw an imaginary vertical line. Okay,
33
00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:46,860
right up from there. And that's how I interpret the price. Okay, in terms of
Killzone now, I don't personally look at this line on my chart. Okay, to
34
00:05:46,860 --> 00:05:54,120
qualify, I just know that when I'm up in trading in London, it's usually the
time that it's going to perform between two o'clock four o'clock in the morning,
35
00:05:54,210 --> 00:06:02,160
New York time, the higher low of the day forms generally, or an important higher
low, let's say like that, because it could be as we saw on another case, earlier
36
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:10,080
on the pairs that it can create a lower high in the asian session, but 70% of
time, you're going to see it forms during two o'clock to four o'clock in the
37
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:22,290
morning, New York time. Alright, so now, this low, some of you don't have a
Sunday candle, okay, and that's fine. Let's go back into Friday's data and find
38
00:06:22,290 --> 00:06:31,980
a short term high, that was broken. The short term high is broken right here.
Now we go back to the swing low prior to that, we anchor to the lowest open or
39
00:06:31,980 --> 00:06:43,230
close and drag it up to the highest open or closed prior to the London open kill
zone. Boom, right there. Optimal trade entry, really, really nice run, get up
40
00:06:43,230 --> 00:06:55,620
to, again, the show stopper. And then the ultimate setup, which was today this
is kind of more of a not so much of a hindsight thing. I was trying to draw your
41
00:06:55,620 --> 00:07:05,790
attention to this one. Let's study this one. In Twitter, or on Twitter, I said,
pay attention to this high here. Okay, note this high and the action off of it,
42
00:07:06,150 --> 00:07:16,920
we retrace all the way down into a ball shorter block or ICT or a block we'll
learn about that in the ICT sniper series. And let's zoom in just a little bit.
43
00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:27,600
Okay, and you can see the beautiful article trade entry here. And price runs up
into target one also. Okay, really, really nice. And some price action on this
44
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:35,640
pair as well. Okay, now we're looking at the dollar yen. Now, as I mentioned
earlier, I told my personal group that I felt that we would see the dollar index
45
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:44,850
retrace down to the 50 level. Okay, and I'll leave that up to your whether when
and believe it or not, but the everyone in my group knows that I was
46
00:07:44,850 --> 00:07:54,000
anticipating some measure of a retracement on the dollar index down to the 50
level. So if that happens that it's going to be bearish for the dollar pairs
47
00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:05,850
that begin with the USD x or Dollar Index before the name and their pair. So
dollar yen is most likely going to be heavy today if we see that weakness on
48
00:08:05,850 --> 00:08:16,680
dollar. So again, same scenario, we're looking at the ICT kill zone, or London
or New York bring us the highest open or close here on a swing high in Asia. And
49
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:27,840
we're dragging it all the way down into the lowest body open or close here Okay,
so we have this range here and rate during this time window, interpret rate
50
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:36,870
between these two vertical lines, that's where the higher low or unimportant
higher low will form on the intraday okay so the algorithm or price in a
51
00:08:36,870 --> 00:08:45,030
significant higher low at that time. You can see it goes right into optimal
trade entry right there beautiful and price sells off. Now, if you had missed
52
00:08:45,030 --> 00:08:59,970
this No problem, no worried go into this swing high here highs open or close
down to the lowest open or close right here in price during the New York open
53
00:08:59,970 --> 00:09:12,600
kill zone and ICT in New York open kill zone optimal trade entry sell again
price trades off rather handsomely in response to that as well. Additionally,
54
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:27,360
there is another one in here okay that you can use. And we can use it on the
body here of this candle and we drag it down to lowest body candle right here.
55
00:09:28,050 --> 00:09:38,820
And again nice optimal trading trades at 62% tracing level and really nice sharp
acceleration away from that and the larger 200 extension of this high and after
56
00:09:38,820 --> 00:09:40,080
this high as you
57
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:53,370
did earlier, I would have call for more lower prices then just this one here,
okay. So Okay, next is the dollar CAD. Now initially, we would be looking for a
58
00:09:53,370 --> 00:10:06,000
selling indication or something to go weak on this currency. Usually that
happens on the heels of Run higher. And so before the dollar CAD collapsed lower
59
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:17,490
today had to go higher first. And initially, this would be the range from
Friday, close up to this high here starting on Monday's trading. And you can see
60
00:10:17,490 --> 00:10:24,270
by itself, it gives you a nice optimal trade entry. But we had a little bit
slightly higher highs if you're up in watching it, you would use this range
61
00:10:24,270 --> 00:10:36,690
here, right there. So this high on this candle body towards the end of the ICT
London open kill zone. So admittedly, it's just outside the range of the times
62
00:10:36,690 --> 00:10:46,320
you can see it 910 that's 10 minutes after five New York time. That's typically
when I'm anticipating the close of the morning sessions will be usually taking a
63
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:55,560
nap at that time. But it does go a little bit deeper than that. But you can see
even 62% trades on level it's still well within the time frame that encapsulates
64
00:10:55,560 --> 00:11:08,310
the London open kill zone. Okay, we're looking at the dragon or otherwise known
as the beast. This is pound yen. Alright, so I encounter these names hoaxes,
65
00:11:08,310 --> 00:11:20,370
names that other folks have been been doing the column by fiber cable, all those
things. A lot of the new traders think that I came up with those nicknames for
66
00:11:20,370 --> 00:11:30,780
these pairs. They're not, they're not mine. Okay, so believe me everything I
came up with a moment you'll hear me Jawbone about it enough. But the swing low
67
00:11:30,780 --> 00:11:37,710
here, why am I using this swing low? Michael, why not this one down here? Why
did you? Why did you just go here, you'd pick the ones that best fitting? No,
68
00:11:38,310 --> 00:11:48,060
this short term high being broken, we go back to the near short term low right
here, lowest body candle, rallies up to the highest body candle. So there's our
69
00:11:48,060 --> 00:11:56,910
range where to look for optimal trade entry is in here. Okay, it does wick
through a little bit. Your stop will be at this position here is optimal trade
70
00:11:56,910 --> 00:12:05,310
entry here. And it gives you another bar here and then the buy here, and then
boom, explodes up to target two. And that's a break in market structure takes a
71
00:12:05,430 --> 00:12:17,400
really nice dump, lower here. And one of my students shared a video with me
today. And this is really what inspired me to look at the beast here. It gave a
72
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:28,110
nice little optimal trade entry during the New York kill zone. So it did give a
buy here in line with what they will be expected for a weak Dollar Index. But we
73
00:12:28,110 --> 00:12:41,160
have a nice little sell off the highest portion of this swing high and the
lowest portion here to have this swing here. Optimal trade entry boom at 62%
74
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:53,280
trades on level lovely sells off down to the 200 extension. What's it doing
reaching below the lows over here? Okay, to clean to clean and where we see that
75
00:12:53,280 --> 00:13:03,270
we know there's going to be a run on liquidity for that. Okay. could potentially
go one more time deeper lower than NASA cable guys. Be mindful watching Dollar
76
00:13:04,500 --> 00:13:13,050
Index and the relationship between cable and also yen because I think that may
be a catalyst for this, which a little bit deeper below here. And it's gonna be
77
00:13:13,050 --> 00:13:18,960
it for today. Hope you had an insightful Monday with me and until tomorrow. wish
good luck and good trading.
