00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:44,760
ICT: Good evening, folks, it's a Saturday 1pm New York time in January 13 2018,
did a couple tweets yesterday on the 12th of January. And this is the one I did

2
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:57,360
for the cable, and asked what everyone would see in this image. And I did one
for the Euro, as well. Okay. And I put a couple things in here to try to draw

3
00:00:57,360 --> 00:01:06,600
your attention to it. But I wanted to see what else everyone else would have,
from their independent perspective without me drawing any special attention to

4
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:18,240
anything. And that's kind of like what I want to go over now. So I'm going to go
over to daily FX Archer, welcome to cable, Bridgetown, USD, this is a weekly

5
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:43,530
chart. And I want to again, draw attention to the order block in here. Right in
here is the order block. And we're going to change this to I will use this area

6
00:01:43,530 --> 00:01:56,940
here to be shaded in blue. So I'm going to drop into an hourly chart. Okay, so
we have our hourly chart, 60 minute timeframe. And we can see how price dipped

7
00:01:56,940 --> 00:02:05,760
into that weekly order block. Okay, now, it's not necessarily that all this area
be concerned with, I'm just drawing a contrast to what other things going to be

8
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:20,550
highlighting on the chart. One of the lineage specific range of date. Okay, I'm
starting here, that's the beginning of January trading is the beginning of the

9
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:38,850
year. And I'm going to delineate another date reference point. That's here.
Okay. We don't see anything over here until there, there's our destination and

10
00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:44,430
time. So we have a range in time. Now we're going to have

11
00:02:53,190 --> 00:03:18,630
a reference point in terms of price, or a range, if you will. Okay, and make
this solid. And we'll thicken up a little bit. clone that and then we're going

12
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:32,700
to drop it right on the low here. Like that. Okay, so now we have a range. Okay,
I want you to think about this range, just like I teach as it relates to the

13
00:03:32,700 --> 00:03:46,920
Asian range. Okay, what we're doing is we're actually bracketing and defining
the initial week of the year and the first week of trading in January, okay, so

14
00:03:46,920 --> 00:04:01,830
this is the ICT power three applied to a monthly chart and weekly chart and a
new year. So, the importance is that we see how the market is going to seek

15
00:04:01,830 --> 00:04:14,490
liquidity, but we have to frame the market in such a way where we can anticipate
specific levels or areas or liquidity pools to be rated or probed. So now we

16
00:04:14,490 --> 00:04:26,310
have buy side liquidity before buy stops resting above these highs here. So it
buy stops above this high here and sell stops resting below this low here. We

17
00:04:26,310 --> 00:04:37,140
have the same concept. It's applied to a daily range in response to the
accumulation, manipulation and distribution cycle that I teach or the ITT power

18
00:04:37,140 --> 00:04:51,300
three concept. When we understand this, and we look for elements of runs on
liquidity, we know that resting below this below is going to be cell stops. And

19
00:04:51,300 --> 00:05:02,190
we also know that the dollar index was bearish at the same time. And we know
that in the shaded area here. There's a weekly bullish order block So there's a

20
00:05:02,190 --> 00:05:13,590
reason I want to go below this low. It's directly linked to a weekly timeframe
that would be deemed bullish. And I want you to think about it in terms of how

21
00:05:13,590 --> 00:05:21,690
price when it drops below this low here,

22
00:05:26,939 --> 00:05:41,519
not picking it up a little bit. Okay, so we have a range price drops down below
this initial week. Okay, so this is not some new weekly strategy, okay. It's,

23
00:05:41,519 --> 00:05:49,919
it's something I've taught before many times, on YouTube. Now I have taken the
videos down, but there is a army of people that have downloaded everything I've

24
00:05:49,919 --> 00:06:00,059
ever produced. And they have a better cataloguing organization than I do with my
content. But this is simply something that I taught with higher timeframe

25
00:06:00,059 --> 00:06:10,259
charts, using a monthly bar, and a weekly bar. And now we have a new year. So
the same thing applies here. But I want you to think about how price seeks these

26
00:06:10,259 --> 00:06:23,429
liquidity reference points, or as I call them, liquidity pools. So price drops
down here initially, to go into the weekly order block and take out the sell

27
00:06:23,429 --> 00:06:33,509
stops below the market low and leaving this area of consolidation. Once the sell
stops have been taken, where they're going to aim for, well, if they go to the

28
00:06:33,509 --> 00:06:43,349
self stops and go down to a weekly bullish order block, they're going down here
to do what accumulate. Okay, so they bought here, smart money did, they bought

29
00:06:43,349 --> 00:06:51,779
more, now they're gonna manipulate. So now they're accumulating, Long's
accumulating Long's, and then they manipulate those individuals that are already

30
00:06:51,779 --> 00:07:01,379
long out of their positions. By running the stops, their cell stops have been
taken for anyone that's already long, their manipulation on price takes those

31
00:07:01,379 --> 00:07:09,779
long holders out. By tripping, their cell stops, their cell stops to become
market orders to flood the market, there's buying liquidity counterparties right

32
00:07:09,779 --> 00:07:20,579
there. So smart money can buy more at a cheaper price than they did here. And
here, there isn't going to be a large degree of volume here, because it's only

33
00:07:20,579 --> 00:07:30,509
gonna be relative to the stops. So smart money sets the range by buying low,
buying low, and then they wait while they do it again here. But right below

34
00:07:30,509 --> 00:07:42,029
here, they just unseat, okay, or manipulate those individuals that are already
long out. to knock them off. they accumulate their position by buying, they're

35
00:07:42,029 --> 00:07:55,049
willing sale of their long positions based on their cell stop. So long holders
have their cell stops hit, and the person or counterparties to those cell stops

36
00:07:55,049 --> 00:08:05,369
being taken, or going to be smart money, they will buy their stops as it drops
down here. And that's why we see this large degree of volatility on the upside.

37
00:08:06,239 --> 00:08:17,309
Because now because they have entered long here, where's a really logical area
to get out? Well, you want to find someone that wants to be buying from you at a

38
00:08:17,309 --> 00:08:26,759
higher price. But see, that's the problem. We're trained in the books to buy
low, sell high. So if we're trying to buy low and sell high, how can how can

39
00:08:26,759 --> 00:08:36,599
someone? How can we find someone that wants to buy it from us, when we bought it
low? How can they want to buy it higher, you have to find liquidity pools in the

40
00:08:36,599 --> 00:08:40,409
form of buy stops. So when the price trades above this level here,

41
00:08:50,160 --> 00:09:03,390
when this occurs, right there, these buy stocks become market orders to buy at
the market. Exactly what the long holders want to have here. They want someone

42
00:09:03,390 --> 00:09:13,260
that's willing to buy at a higher price, because now they want to take their
profits. Not all of them but the Long's that they accumulate here. They're going

43
00:09:13,260 --> 00:09:22,500
to sell some portion of it to willing buyers at a higher price. And as price
starts to expand higher breakout artists, price chasers, they start buying it

44
00:09:22,500 --> 00:09:33,180
too. And that's when all this range here. We're seeing liquidation of
participants that bought down here, bought here, here and here. So we're seeing

45
00:09:33,180 --> 00:09:43,530
the power three. The opening price is the opening on this candle here which is
134 99. And we see power three formation here where it's small little portion on

46
00:09:43,530 --> 00:09:51,930
the range drops down below the opening price, creating the low of the month, the
low of the week and so far below the year. Now I'm not stating this is going to

47
00:09:51,930 --> 00:10:01,950
be the oil of the year and like that, but this is how we look for liquidity
runs. If this is all we see in terms of a price move up to 137 40 Is this not a

48
00:10:01,950 --> 00:10:11,910
significant enough range to be profitable for your study in a demo account,
obviously, who wouldn't be up to you who would be upset about that. But I want

49
00:10:11,910 --> 00:10:24,360
you to view how the monthly candle or monthly range, the way you interpret that
is you want to use the first five days of trading. Now, they are not going to be

50
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:34,380
always like we just had for January, we look at a calendar can see that it
starts on a Monday, in the five days of the first week of January happens to be

51
00:10:34,380 --> 00:10:43,440
Monday through Friday, it won't occur like that. Always, sometimes the month is
going to begin on a Wednesday or Tuesday or something like that, you're going to

52
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:53,040
use the first five trading days of every month, and you define that like this,
okay, and what that's going to do is offer you the same concept that I taught

53
00:10:53,040 --> 00:11:03,510
you with the Asian range for power three on a daily candle, you're doing that
with a monthly, okay. So once we have these ideas applied to our chart, we can

54
00:11:03,510 --> 00:11:12,240
clearly see what the algorithm is going to be reaching for, why it should be
reaching for it, and it provides a great deal of context and detail. And you

55
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:21,900
dare I say it, X ray view of what price should do in the future, from a logical
standpoint. And from an order flow standpoint, it's not guessing we know what it

56
00:11:21,900 --> 00:11:31,080
should be doing, and why it should be doing what it's doing. This is the element
behind the cable chart that I wanted to see if you guys would see. And I you

57
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:41,760
know, so let's go and take a look at the euro dollar now. Okay, so we're looking
at the euro dollar, this is a weekly chart. Again, we'll be using the orderbox

58
00:11:41,820 --> 00:11:57,690
on a weekly basis. Here. Alright, so now we can drop down into our one hour
chart. Okay, so we're gonna do the same thing we just did with the cable, where

59
00:11:57,690 --> 00:12:08,190
I mark off the beginning of the year, we're gonna get our first week of trading.
delayed, this is going to act as our

60
00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:34,470
initial range. And we'll add in, I'm going to use horizontal lines now just cut
to the chase. Right here before high and our low. Right there. Okay, so we have

61
00:12:34,500 --> 00:12:47,820
our initial, low and high first week of trading for January and for the first of
the year. And we can apply these ideas with the weekly range, I'd approach your

62
00:12:47,820 --> 00:12:58,680
idea using power three. Okay, so what we're looking for, again, is elements of
accumulation, manipulation and distribution. We know that this area down here in

63
00:12:58,680 --> 00:13:11,220
the shaded blue area is not a demand zone. It's a ICT bullish order block. So we
know what's residing down there. But we have an initial range. We know what's

64
00:13:11,220 --> 00:13:21,330
resting above the high, it's by stops. And what's resting below the lows, it's
cell stops. So what we're looking for his we have a study on higher timeframe

65
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:31,380
looking for a bias, if you will, obviously, we know dollar index was bearish
bullish on foreign currency. We can really be bullish when we get down to the

66
00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:38,880
weekly order block, you can see the reactions here they dipped into it dipped
into it dipped into it almost got turned to it again, but ultimately took off on

67
00:13:38,880 --> 00:13:48,660
the heels of ECB. All finding great, wonderful. But I want you to take a look at
the elements that are seen here because you can see all of the things that I

68
00:13:48,660 --> 00:14:01,350
teach what the Asian range being applied to the power three on a monthly chart.
Again, the opening on the month is on this candle Here comes in at 119 99

69
00:14:01,380 --> 00:14:12,930
basically 120 big figure and we have consolidation. And if we're bullish we're
gonna be looking for what evidence is that they're buying so they bought here

70
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:22,890
rally up, he bought here rallied up. They bought more in here. Price dips down
into the weekly order block, they accumulate more, but more specifically they

71
00:14:22,890 --> 00:14:34,110
take out these lows. Okay, the lows have been taken out. They reach down to an
area of long term bullishness with a weekly bullish or ba and we can see them

72
00:14:34,350 --> 00:14:43,170
working that level. Look at the reaction up to this range is is the same type of
thing you would expect to see what the Asian range on a daily chart or a daily

73
00:14:43,170 --> 00:14:55,920
range rather, price drops back down. And for anyone that has my old tutorials
where I teach the London open, set up where this would be the Asian range and it

74
00:14:55,920 --> 00:15:04,560
price drops down gets Judas swing, an optimal trade entry failure swing The
Daily range runs up. All we're looking at here is the same thing applied to it

75
00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:17,520
on a monthly perspective, we have the monthly, first five trading days of the
month. bracket those out, define your range have a bias bullish or bearish and

76
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:28,080
then use the same concepts that are otherwise taught in the intraday models. And
you'll see that we're using not a, again, new weekly or refinement of my ICT

77
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:37,530
concepts. It's always just this, it's what I've already shared. But you can't
put lipstick on this and call it something else, folks, it's something I've

78
00:15:37,740 --> 00:15:48,270
taught years ago, people have an inherent video library. And they know it when
they see it. So this is the approach to using power three with a higher

79
00:15:48,270 --> 00:15:57,780
timeframe perspective, and it delivers just as much precision that you would
expect. And my examples have shown on an intraday capacity. In terms of market

80
00:15:57,780 --> 00:16:09,060
symmetry, we can see the range that we do like with the Asian range, we do one
standard deviation down, boom, hits it as it overlaps and converges with that

81
00:16:09,060 --> 00:16:18,180
weekly order block that will be deemed bullish. And once they deviate from the
upside, we can see that the market has thus far with no problem whatsoever, gone

82
00:16:18,180 --> 00:16:27,390
one standard deviation on the upside, and we'll see if there's any more
continuation next week as we go into new trading. So I wanted to share this with

83
00:16:27,390 --> 00:16:39,000
you give you one more examples of how we can use not just intraday stuff, but
using the same elements of time and price that I teach and using the ICT power

84
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:50,310
three concept, applying it to a monthly perspective and a weekly perspective, we
can see that same thing happening here. Let's take these off.

85
00:16:57,930 --> 00:17:11,640
Okay, so we have the Mondays range in here. Right here, Mondays range. And if we
apply that same theory, not on the monthly perspective, but on a weekly basis.

86
00:17:14,250 --> 00:17:25,890
Okay, we have Monday's range here. So here's Monday's trading. And below that we
get the run on Tuesday, taking the liquidity out below that low at a weekly

87
00:17:25,890 --> 00:17:37,830
bullish order block, as one would expect that we're going to take this range
here, and we're gonna duplicate that. Okay. And again, this is not something

88
00:17:37,830 --> 00:17:42,750
new, no one can take credit for this stuff. This is stuff that I taught for free
on YouTube.

89
00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:57,720
Okay, and you can start doing your standard deviations. And you'll see where
price will want to reach for.

90
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:21,960
So we're looking at 122 30. What is that? Let's put a horizontal line on there.
So 120 to 38.7. Okay, now remember, I had shared a chart last week with an

91
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:31,080
objective of 122 32. And should we hit that level? I've already put it out
there. So it's not like I can say, Well, you know, I thought it was going to go

92
00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:42,060
here and look like I did in hindsight, it's been out there for several days. So
should we see 120 to 32 traded to now 120 38.7, if that's traded to, you know

93
00:18:42,060 --> 00:18:51,150
why? Because this is the mechanics behind me the algorithm is seeking these
areas of liquidity. But specifically the 122 32 level, should we hit that level,

94
00:18:51,180 --> 00:19:03,540
I will then outline how I knew that was likely to hit not guaranteeing it, but
that's what I'm looking for. So between 120 to 30 to 120 to 40 in that area. I

95
00:19:03,540 --> 00:19:11,400
think it's a reasonable upside objective for next week initially, should we see
continuation and erosion on the dollar index, and obviously that's going to

96
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:23,310
compound and see larger upside objectives for euro dollar and cable and lower
objectives on the dollar index. So hopefully you found this video insightful and

97
00:19:23,340 --> 00:19:25,860
I'll talk to you next time. I wish you good luck and good trading.
