2 |1 |00:00:15 ~-~-> 00:00:18 |ICT: All right, folks, all right. So we're looking at this September, 24 2025
3 |2 |00:00:19 ~-~-> 00:00:26 |focus on forex. Usual Suspects, Dollar Index, Euro, dollar and POUND DOLLAR.
4 |3 |00:00:32 ~-~-> 00:00:41 |As a reminder, I didn't do a review or lecture on dollar or Forex last night,
5 |4 |00:00:41 ~-~-> 00:00:46 |and I stated that we would be waiting for the reaction off of the consequence
6 |5 |00:00:46 ~-~-> 00:00:52 |of the inversion fair value gap I mentioned on Monday night's lecture. So
7 |6 |00:00:52 ~-~-> 00:00:59 |we're going to review that here, and you can see the response after having shared
8 |7 |00:00:59 ~-~-> 00:01:08 |it with you on Monday. Left hand side daily chart. This is the city that we
9 |8 |00:01:08 ~-~-> 00:01:15 |looked for the market to come back down into and not breach the midpoint and
10 |9 |00:01:15 ~-~-> 00:01:19 |trade into the lower half. This little retracement back down into that area
11 |10 |00:01:19 ~-~-> 00:01:24 |right there is this line here on the five minute chart. As you can see, it
12 |11 |00:01:24 ~-~-> 00:01:29 |hits it perfectly, stops dead in its tracks, consolidates around it and runs
13 |12 |00:01:29 ~-~-> 00:01:34 |up, uses the top of it here, shows discount sensitivity and then starts to
14 |13 |00:01:34 ~-~-> 00:01:41 |rally higher. So I know that the common folk out there loving to find things to
15 |14 |00:01:41 ~-~-> 00:01:46 |talk about and whatnot, and they have to find their place in this world. So what
16 |15 |00:01:46 ~-~-> 00:01:50 |they've done is is they have tried to say that I've rebranded things that
17 |16 |00:01:50 ~-~-> 00:01:54 |existed before me. You'll never find this in anything like you'll never see
18 |17 |00:01:54 ~-~-> 00:01:59 |this taught anywhere prior to me, ever mentioning it. Okay? No inversion for
19 |18 |00:01:59 ~-~-> 00:02:02 |everybody. You got no consequent encouragement, no respect to the upper
20 |19 |00:02:02 ~-~-> 00:02:07 |half. And I say these things because, and I'm gonna make this statement that
21 |20 |00:02:08 ~-~-> 00:02:11 |way, I don't have to say it again in the videos, but I do it a lot on social
22 |21 |00:02:11 ~-~-> 00:02:19 |media. And here's the reason why AI Artificial Intelligence. Okay, when you
23 |22 |00:02:19 ~-~-> 00:02:25 |or anyone else asks questions, you know, who taught ICT? Who is ICT mentor, who
24 |23 |00:02:25 ~-~-> 00:02:32 |taught ICT Smart Money concepts? What did ICT rebrand? Okay, what? Where's it
25 |24 |00:02:32 ~-~-> 00:02:39 |getting the information from? It's going to go out there and whole accumulate all
26 |25 |00:02:39 ~-~-> 00:02:43 |of the chatter online. So the big push has been and this is why I was always
27 |26 |00:02:43 ~-~-> 00:02:47 |standing in front of it all the time. The big push is, if there's enough of
28 |27 |00:02:47 ~-~-> 00:02:50 |these Yahoos out there constantly putting it out there, that I rebranded
29 |28 |00:02:50 ~-~-> 00:02:53 |this. Rebranded that here's the simplest thing, whenever you see someone say
30 |29 |00:02:53 ~-~-> 00:02:59 |that, ask for the book, ask for the page number, ask for the details. How I teach
31 |30 |00:02:59 ~-~-> 00:03:03 |these PD arrays and the smart money concepts prior to 1996 is when I coined
32 |31 |00:03:03 ~-~-> 00:03:11 |all these things. It never will appear. It now here's here's even better. 2016
33 |32 |00:03:11 ~-~-> 00:03:15 |is when everybody started ripping me off because they took my paid mentorship and
34 |33 |00:03:15 ~-~-> 00:03:18 |made their own little mentorships, their dollar menu mentorships, and they
35 |34 |00:03:18 ~-~-> 00:03:21 |started doing all these things to try to make a name for themselves, and the
36 |35 |00:03:21 ~-~-> 00:03:27 |people that have failed since then, since they couldn't beat me, okay? And
37 |36 |00:03:27 ~-~-> 00:03:31 |they can't pretend to be like me, because there ain't no one like me. The
38 |37 |00:03:31 ~-~-> 00:03:36 |idea is, if they can just put it out there in AI enough times, all the chat
39 |38 |00:03:36 ~-~-> 00:03:41 |engines, okay, the chat, GPT, the grok, all those things, they're going to go
40 |39 |00:03:41 ~-~-> 00:03:46 |out and look for the opinion, the accumulative opinion of what people are
41 |40 |00:03:46 ~-~-> 00:03:51 |thinking or saying, listen, public opinion isn't fact. It's just an
42 |41 |00:03:51 ~-~-> 00:03:56 |opinion. Here's the facts. You can't come up with a source that I rebranded
43 |42 |00:03:56 ~-~-> 00:04:02 |from an order block is not supply and demand. Okay? I don't do anything with
44 |43 |00:04:02 ~-~-> 00:04:06 |Wyckoff again. I said this before. I'll say it again. If Wyckoff was alive, he
45 |44 |00:04:06 ~-~-> 00:04:10 |would be watching my videos and taking notes, and that makes some of you mad,
46 |45 |00:04:10 ~-~-> 00:04:15 |but that's simply just the facts. Okay? So I want you to remember, anytime
47 |46 |00:04:15 ~-~-> 00:04:19 |someone says that, ask them to cite their source. Where are they again?
48 |47 |00:04:19 ~-~-> 00:04:23 |Because they never, they never, ever, ever come forward with anything, no
49 |48 |00:04:23 ~-~-> 00:04:29 |documentation, No book, no video, no anything. It's just they keep putting
50 |49 |00:04:29 ~-~-> 00:04:32 |out there because someone else has said it, and because everyone's so sensitive,
51 |50 |00:04:33 ~-~-> 00:04:36 |they're so thin skinned, and they want to fit in. That's what social media
52 |51 |00:04:36 ~-~-> 00:04:40 |does. It makes you want to fit into a crowd. And that's why we have like a
53 |52 |00:04:40 ~-~-> 00:04:44 |cult like community here, because everybody likes what they're learning
54 |53 |00:04:44 ~-~-> 00:04:50 |from me. It's the cult of winning. And the bottom line is, it's sense of
55 |54 |00:04:50 ~-~-> 00:04:55 |empowerment, feeling like you belong to something, not just here with me, but
56 |55 |00:04:55 ~-~-> 00:04:59 |anywhere. And that's what social media does. It cultivates that desire in all.
57 |56 |00:04:59 ~-~-> 00:05:04 |All of us because we don't want to be alone. Well, in trading, you want to be
58 |57 |00:05:04 ~-~-> 00:05:08 |alone. You want to be an island unto yourself. Okay, so I just want to toss
59 |58 |00:05:08 ~-~-> 00:05:11 |this in there. I'm not going to put it in videos ever again. But the bottom
60 |59 |00:05:11 ~-~-> 00:05:15 |line is, there's no one that's going to be able to prove that I rebranded
61 |60 |00:05:15 ~-~-> 00:05:21 |anything. All of my stuff, all of my stuff that I say is mine. It's mine
62 |61 |00:05:22 ~-~-> 00:05:28 |period. So you can see it delivering right to the tick Okay, as I was
63 |62 |00:05:28 ~-~-> 00:05:32 |indicating last week I talked about this, and it was delivering here
64 |63 |00:05:32 ~-~-> 00:05:38 |perfectly on Tuesday, and then giving it time to expand, it rallies up and
65 |64 |00:05:38 ~-~-> 00:05:42 |intact. It's the short term little buy side in here. Trades back into the
66 |65 |00:05:42 ~-~-> 00:05:45 |volume and balances here. But we're going to look at another portion of
67 |66 |00:05:45 ~-~-> 00:05:53 |price action. These quadrants being added. You can see how it's beautifully
68 |67 |00:05:53 ~-~-> 00:05:57 |holding price in the upper half. That was the condition I told you, the
69 |68 |00:05:57 ~-~-> 00:06:01 |algorithm that doesn't supposedly exist, right? The algorithm is going to keep
70 |69 |00:06:01 ~-~-> 00:06:06 |price in the upper half and not trade in the lower half of a random area in price
71 |70 |00:06:06 ~-~-> 00:06:11 |action that no other retail trader, educator, teacher, ever talked about,
72 |71 |00:06:12 ~-~-> 00:06:18 |period. Now either I'm very good at predicting the future, or I know what
73 |72 |00:06:18 ~-~-> 00:06:25 |I'm talking about because I authored it. This is proof, delivering to the tick
74 |73 |00:06:25 ~-~-> 00:06:29 |and then delivering up right out of there, okay, even giving another kiss
75 |74 |00:06:29 ~-~-> 00:06:36 |right in here before it leads trading higher, explosive run up into this
76 |75 |00:06:36 ~-~-> 00:06:42 |premium wick. Okay, so this premium wick is part of this cell sign imbalanced buy
77 |76 |00:06:42 ~-~-> 00:06:47 |side and efficiency trading above this because you have relative equal highs.
78 |77 |00:06:47 ~-~-> 00:06:50 |So what would be their next PDA rate? It would go above that. Oh, you're going to
79 |78 |00:06:50 ~-~-> 00:06:55 |look at the wick here, and every wick we treat like a gap, and how we treat gaps,
80 |79 |00:06:55 ~-~-> 00:07:01 |just like I did down here. We grade them, okay, high upper quadrant,
81 |80 |00:07:01 ~-~-> 00:07:06 |consequent midpoint, lower quadrant and the low and, no, that is not quarters
82 |81 |00:07:06 ~-~-> 00:07:11 |theory. Okay, so please stop emailing me about that. I have no affinity for it.
83 |82 |00:07:11 ~-~-> 00:07:15 |It's just somebody else trying to do something, saying it was I'm hiding
84 |83 |00:07:15 ~-~-> 00:07:18 |something. It has nothing to do with me. Okay? Has absolutely nothing to do with
85 |84 |00:07:18 ~-~-> 00:07:25 |me. And this is what I teach. Okay, it's quadrants on gaps and inefficiencies.
86 |85 |00:07:25 ~-~-> 00:07:36 |Wicks are just like a gap. Okay? So it's reaching up into this premium wick. And
87 |86 |00:07:36 ~-~-> 00:07:42 |you want to have these levels on your chart. That's these levels over here. So
88 |87 |00:07:42 ~-~-> 00:07:47 |here's the low of that premium wick on this day here, here's the lower
89 |88 |00:07:47 ~-~-> 00:07:51 |quadrant, and then here's the consequent encroachment. And they've left relative
90 |89 |00:07:51 ~-~-> 00:07:59 |equal highs here. That's rather convenient. And this wick here, this
91 |90 |00:07:59 ~-~-> 00:08:05 |premium wick. Now, why am I picking this one? This one's longer than this one. We
92 |91 |00:08:05 ~-~-> 00:08:09 |go back one slide so you can see it. See it's slightly higher than that one.
93 |92 |00:08:09 ~-~-> 00:08:16 |That's why I'm annotating it. Okay, if we're, if we're down here in the
94 |93 |00:08:16 ~-~-> 00:08:21 |intraday portion of the day, like, like here, it's going to trade up higher. I
95 |94 |00:08:21 ~-~-> 00:08:25 |don't want to just simply use this one when this is a lot more range. Well, not
96 |95 |00:08:25 ~-~-> 00:08:30 |a lot more, but it's more range by contrast to this range, and they're
97 |96 |00:08:30 ~-~-> 00:08:33 |right next to each other. So which 1am I going to use if I'm going to be using
98 |97 |00:08:33 ~-~-> 00:08:39 |any gradients on a wick, this one, it's the higher reaching one. So that's why
99 |98 |00:08:39 ~-~-> 00:08:43 |this is being used here. You can see that the bodies are being respected of
100 |99 |00:08:43 ~-~-> 00:08:48 |the low of that premium wick, and then the bodies are accumulating around here
101 |100 |00:08:48 ~-~-> 00:08:53 |as well, inside of a fair value gap. Then it rallies up, it cuts back down
102 |101 |00:08:53 ~-~-> 00:08:57 |and touches the high of it, and then sends it in here. So there's an
103 |102 |00:08:57 ~-~-> 00:09:02 |overlapping of these quadrants that need to be transposed into your lower time
104 |103 |00:09:02 ~-~-> 00:09:06 |frame charts, like a one man chart, when here's here's the part where you write
105 |104 |00:09:06 ~-~-> 00:09:13 |down your notes, votes, if you see a quadrant or a PD array that has gradient
106 |105 |00:09:13 ~-~-> 00:09:19 |levels in it, too, if that is sitting right with a PD array, like a fair value
107 |106 |00:09:19 ~-~-> 00:09:24 |gap, an order block, a breaker. It super charges the likelihood that it's going
108 |107 |00:09:24 ~-~-> 00:09:30 |to be very sensitive. And if you apply time, what time of day, what day of week
109 |108 |00:09:30 ~-~-> 00:09:38 |is it? You know? Is it a macro time? It further increases the likelihood that
110 |109 |00:09:38 ~-~-> 00:09:43 |it's going to be moving in what you would expect based on your analysis,
111 |110 |00:09:43 ~-~-> 00:09:47 |that doesn't equate to profitability, because just because you can read price
112 |111 |00:09:47 ~-~-> 00:09:51 |action, just because you can time the market, doesn't mean that you can manage
113 |112 |00:09:51 ~-~-> 00:09:57 |yourself or manage the risks of money management or trade management. It just
114 |113 |00:09:57 ~-~-> 00:10:01 |means that doing these types of things. Things will help make you better at tape
115 |114 |00:10:01 ~-~-> 00:10:05 |reading, which is what I promise everyone you will get better at reading
116 |115 |00:10:05 ~-~-> 00:10:09 |the tape reading the market live, watching what it's doing. But I can
117 |116 |00:10:09 ~-~-> 00:10:12 |never promise any of you being profitable, because there's a big
118 |117 |00:10:12 ~-~-> 00:10:16 |barrier between knowing how to read price action correctly and accurately
119 |118 |00:10:16 ~-~-> 00:10:21 |and profitable trading, because you bring to the table lots of baggage,
120 |119 |00:10:21 ~-~-> 00:10:23 |everybody does some kind of a
121 |120 |00:10:26 ~-~-> 00:10:31 |hindrance, not trusting yourself, not feeling like you are deserving of it,
122 |121 |00:10:32 ~-~-> 00:10:37 |overconfidence, lack of confidence, ego, you know, this fear and greed, all these
123 |122 |00:10:37 ~-~-> 00:10:41 |things. And it could be many more things, but that's going to be the
124 |123 |00:10:41 ~-~-> 00:10:45 |barrier. So I've always maintained the consistency of reminding you that I
125 |124 |00:10:45 ~-~-> 00:10:48 |can't promise and no one can either. So it's not like someone can just slide on
126 |125 |00:10:48 ~-~-> 00:10:51 |and say, lock and take that over for your ICT. No one can promise you
127 |126 |00:10:51 ~-~-> 00:10:56 |profitability guaranteed. You can. Cannot do it, folks, I promise you,
128 |127 |00:10:56 ~-~-> 00:10:59 |because if they could, they would be the biggest name in the industry. They would
129 |128 |00:10:59 ~-~-> 00:11:02 |be the biggest name in the industry, if they could guarantee that you're going
130 |129 |00:11:02 ~-~-> 00:11:05 |to be profitable. Going to be profitable using their stuff. And I like to think
131 |130 |00:11:05 ~-~-> 00:11:09 |of myself as having superior intellect in terms of how to read price action
132 |131 |00:11:09 ~-~-> 00:11:14 |against everyone else, and I can't do that. So if I can't do that with the
133 |132 |00:11:14 ~-~-> 00:11:18 |most superior concepts in the marketplace, nobody else is going to do
134 |133 |00:11:18 ~-~-> 00:11:21 |that either. And you're welcome to find them. You're welcome to put them to the
135 |134 |00:11:21 ~-~-> 00:11:24 |test, okay, but they're not going to be able to do it for you. I promise you
136 |135 |00:11:25 ~-~-> 00:11:32 |that. All right, so here we're looking at again, just moved forward in time a
137 |136 |00:11:32 ~-~-> 00:11:38 |little bit in the same day. Here, the market reacted off of that inversion.
138 |137 |00:11:38 ~-~-> 00:11:43 |Fair Pay got right here, and we'll start putting in the PD, right here's London,
139 |138 |00:11:43 ~-~-> 00:11:48 |open kill zone. New York, open kill zone. And the London close. Okay, so
140 |139 |00:11:48 ~-~-> 00:11:51 |it's kind of like caps day for forex. I don't really like to look at anything in
141 |140 |00:11:51 ~-~-> 00:11:57 |the afternoon, noon to afternoon hours post noon time, Eastern Time for forex
142 |141 |00:11:57 ~-~-> 00:12:02 |or dollar index. It's just there might be some moves, then it might be simply
143 |142 |00:12:02 ~-~-> 00:12:07 |just related to FOMC rate announcement stuff. But generally, there's really no
144 |143 |00:12:07 ~-~-> 00:12:13 |real interesting price moves for me after 12 noon. Okay, so if you're a
145 |144 |00:12:13 ~-~-> 00:12:17 |Forex guy or gal, you like the you look at these markets and you're ever
146 |145 |00:12:17 ~-~-> 00:12:20 |wondering what it is, I'm considering it in the afternoon. I'm not considering
147 |146 |00:12:20 ~-~-> 00:12:24 |anything, you know, I'd be focusing on index features, and then I paid
148 |147 |00:12:24 ~-~-> 00:12:26 |mentorship. I thought, just like that. So it's not like it's a new flavor for
149 |148 |00:12:26 ~-~-> 00:12:33 |me. Now it's always been that way. All right. So here is the PDA raised. We
150 |149 |00:12:33 ~-~-> 00:12:36 |have a bullish fair value gap, institutional or flow entry drill, which
151 |150 |00:12:36 ~-~-> 00:12:39 |where it goes in just a little bit but fails to even go to halfway or
152 |151 |00:12:39 ~-~-> 00:12:42 |consequent encroachment. We have a breakaway gap here, and then we have no
153 |152 |00:12:42 ~-~-> 00:12:45 |bullish fair value gap with the institutional overflow entry drill
154 |153 |00:12:45 ~-~-> 00:12:49 |again, once more, just trading in, but not hitting the consequent encroachment
155 |154 |00:12:49 ~-~-> 00:12:54 |halfway point. Bullish fair value gap here accumulates around the consequence
156 |155 |00:12:54 ~-~-> 00:13:00 |level, hits the high, but here sends price earning higher into the premium
157 |156 |00:13:00 ~-~-> 00:13:07 |wick. Look at the price over here, 97 649, that's this one here. That's this
158 |157 |00:13:07 ~-~-> 00:13:13 |wick low. That's the low of that premium wick. So once it trades into this here,
159 |158 |00:13:15 ~-~-> 00:13:21 |it comes back down in that's the upper quadrant of that premium wick. And now
160 |159 |00:13:21 ~-~-> 00:13:24 |it's a fair value gap touching it as well, and it's also during a macro time.
161 |160 |00:13:26 ~-~-> 00:13:30 |Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. There you go. Okay, you got another unicorn in
162 |161 |00:13:30 ~-~-> 00:13:33 |your repertoire now, rally is higher. Can't find that in any kind of
163 |162 |00:13:33 ~-~-> 00:13:36 |textbooks, either, but they're going to put it on Amazon books, I promise you,
164 |163 |00:13:37 ~-~-> 00:13:39 |before Christmas, there'll be dozens of books out there teaching what I'm
165 |164 |00:13:39 ~-~-> 00:13:44 |teaching right now, and they'll still be short on the information. So the runs up
166 |165 |00:13:44 ~-~-> 00:13:53 |into the high of the premium wick here, which is 97.823 that's this here, and
167 |166 |00:13:53 ~-~-> 00:13:58 |then we get into this premium wick. Okay, now quadrant of that is 97 861,
168 |167 |00:14:00 ~-~-> 00:14:04 |that's here, and then fall short of reaching the consequence, but leads
169 |168 |00:14:04 ~-~-> 00:14:10 |relative equal highs here, rolling over into Euro, dollar. I'm going to save a
170 |169 |00:14:10 ~-~-> 00:14:15 |little bit of time, because I have to do a futures focus on futures video. I'm
171 |170 |00:14:15 ~-~-> 00:14:19 |keeping them separate because I'm trying to get a feel for the community where,
172 |171 |00:14:19 ~-~-> 00:14:24 |like, where is the majority of the interest? Is it isn't in forex still, or
173 |172 |00:14:24 ~-~-> 00:14:30 |is it now in futures, or is it equal? It's something I'm trying to get a feel
174 |173 |00:14:30 ~-~-> 00:14:34 |for. So, you know, whatever you guys are watching. I know some of you watch both
175 |174 |00:14:34 ~-~-> 00:14:38 |because you just want to hear what I'm talking about. But the hardcore Forex
176 |175 |00:14:38 ~-~-> 00:14:41 |guys, they're just, they're not interested in futures, and I get it, I
177 |176 |00:14:41 ~-~-> 00:14:46 |understand, but this is something I'm trying to get more data from. So here's
178 |177 |00:14:46 ~-~-> 00:14:49 |Euro, dollar daily chart on the left hand side. This was a buy side of
179 |178 |00:14:49 ~-~-> 00:14:53 |balance, sell side efficiency. But when price trades down and through it, this
180 |179 |00:14:53 ~-~-> 00:14:56 |becomes a inversion, fair value gap. That's why the shade is orange. Whenever
181 |180 |00:14:56 ~-~-> 00:15:01 |you see an orange rectangle, my charts if it's an. Close candle that I'm
182 |181 |00:15:01 ~-~-> 00:15:06 |anchoring to. Okay, this is a buy side, and balance outside efficiency and
183 |182 |00:15:06 ~-~-> 00:15:10 |prices below it. I'm expecting this to act as an inversion for Vega. That's
184 |183 |00:15:10 ~-~-> 00:15:15 |that's basically what I'm saying. And the market trades up into here, outside
185 |184 |00:15:15 ~-~-> 00:15:21 |the box a little bit, and then breaks aggressively lower during today, and
186 |185 |00:15:21 ~-~-> 00:15:25 |that was on the basis of a higher dollar that was called last week. I said I was
187 |186 |00:15:25 ~-~-> 00:15:31 |bullish. I wasn't wishy washy. I said, until it proves by going down lower,
188 |187 |00:15:33 ~-~-> 00:15:37 |through a inversion fair value gap, that I'm going to stay with it being bullish.
189 |188 |00:15:37 ~-~-> 00:15:40 |You can check me on it. Go watch the videos from last weekend and watch
190 |189 |00:15:40 ~-~-> 00:15:46 |Monday's video, but the market crash is lower on Euro dollar on a higher run on
191 |190 |00:15:46 ~-~-> 00:15:50 |Dollar Index. Now inside of that inversion Fairbank up, I already have
192 |191 |00:15:50 ~-~-> 00:15:55 |the gradient levels, and I have this discount wick graded as well, and then
193 |192 |00:15:55 ~-~-> 00:16:01 |we have the old inefficiency down here that I mentioned last week. So here is
194 |193 |00:16:01 ~-~-> 00:16:06 |the London Open kill zone for Euro. The market breaks lower after creating a
195 |194 |00:16:06 ~-~-> 00:16:10 |fair value gap. Institution or flow entry drill there during the London Open
196 |195 |00:16:10 ~-~-> 00:16:14 |kill zone trades lower, accumulates shorts around the consequent
197 |196 |00:16:14 ~-~-> 00:16:17 |encroachment of the inversion fair value gap. You can see that here that red
198 |197 |00:16:17 ~-~-> 00:16:22 |line. Just check the chart over here at the price, and you'll see it's this area
199 |198 |00:16:22 ~-~-> 00:16:28 |in here, so inside this daily range, price is now sitting right here, at that
200 |199 |00:16:28 ~-~-> 00:16:33 |moment, is yet to do any of this price action. But then we break away with this
201 |200 |00:16:33 ~-~-> 00:16:38 |gap here. It's leaving a consolidation in consequent encroachment of a higher
202 |201 |00:16:38 ~-~-> 00:16:43 |Time Frame PD array. So any gap left there, that's an easy way of classifying
203 |202 |00:16:43 ~-~-> 00:16:47 |as a breakaway gap. I just answered a lot of your questions. You guys asked
204 |203 |00:16:47 ~-~-> 00:16:52 |me, How do you know about notice and annotating specific gaps and calling
205 |204 |00:16:52 ~-~-> 00:16:55 |them breakaway gaps? This is one of those things right here. Okay, this is
206 |205 |00:16:55 ~-~-> 00:16:58 |the stuff you're supposed to put in your journal. This is what you're supposed to
207 |206 |00:16:58 ~-~-> 00:17:00 |write down. This is also what you're looking for all the time. When you go
208 |207 |00:17:00 ~-~-> 00:17:04 |through your analysis, look for gaps that are inside consolidations or mid
209 |208 |00:17:04 ~-~-> 00:17:09 |points of higher Time Frame, PD arrays, again, not found in retail books.
210 |209 |00:17:09 ~-~-> 00:17:14 |They'll talk about a breakaway gap after it's happened. It sells books. It sold
211 |210 |00:17:14 ~-~-> 00:17:18 |books for a long time, over the last few decades. But nobody's going to tell you
212 |211 |00:17:18 ~-~-> 00:17:23 |but me. They're going to say nothing about what a breakaway gap is during
213 |212 |00:17:23 ~-~-> 00:17:26 |real time price action, but I've done that. I've done it on live streams, I've
214 |213 |00:17:26 ~-~-> 00:17:29 |done it on Twitter, I've called it live and telegram. I've done all these
215 |214 |00:17:29 ~-~-> 00:17:36 |things. Okay, so the idea here is we see my the market trade lower into the lower
216 |215 |00:17:36 ~-~-> 00:17:40 |quadrant, trades through it, and then we have a city here, sell sign, imbalance,
217 |216 |00:17:40 ~-~-> 00:17:44 |buy side and efficiency. We have the institutional order flow entry drill
218 |217 |00:17:45 ~-~-> 00:17:49 |where it goes up and not it fails to get to midpoint. Consequent growth from the
219 |218 |00:17:49 ~-~-> 00:17:52 |fair value gap breaks lower comes right back to the low of that inversion fair
220 |219 |00:17:52 ~-~-> 00:17:56 |value gap. So we're trading right here at this price on the daily range, right
221 |220 |00:17:56 ~-~-> 00:18:01 |there. Okay, and the market starts going lower, creates another fair value gap
222 |221 |00:18:01 ~-~-> 00:18:06 |respects the constant encroachment and then breaks lower once more. Sibi. Fair
223 |222 |00:18:06 ~-~-> 00:18:11 |value gap trades up to consequent encroachment again and moves into this
224 |223 |00:18:11 ~-~-> 00:18:15 |old inefficiency here in a green rectangle, we trade down to the low of
225 |224 |00:18:15 ~-~-> 00:18:19 |it twice comes back to the high of it. Okay. This is not classic support and
226 |225 |00:18:19 ~-~-> 00:18:22 |resistance, folks. It's trading inside of an inefficiency during a New York
227 |226 |00:18:22 ~-~-> 00:18:27 |open kill zone. Creates the high trades lower. We have immediate rebalance here,
228 |227 |00:18:27 ~-~-> 00:18:34 |breaks lower trades to the high of this discount wick, and then we trade to the
229 |228 |00:18:34 ~-~-> 00:18:37 |lower quadrant here. That's this point, right there.
230 |229 |00:18:42 ~-~-> 00:18:51 |No right continuing on with the British pound versus us, dollar or cable. Left
231 |230 |00:18:51 ~-~-> 00:18:56 |hand chart is the daily chart, and the five minute chart is here on the right
232 |231 |00:18:56 ~-~-> 00:19:01 |hand side. So on the left hand side we have this city here that I've graded,
233 |232 |00:19:01 ~-~-> 00:19:04 |and I didn't put any color on it because there's no there's no need for it. You
234 |233 |00:19:04 ~-~-> 00:19:10 |can see the levels up here, and then we have this fair value gap, and I have
235 |234 |00:19:10 ~-~-> 00:19:15 |this discount wick annotated, this discount wick annotated, and this
236 |235 |00:19:15 ~-~-> 00:19:21 |discount wick annotated. Okay, so when you're looking at the lower time frame
237 |236 |00:19:21 ~-~-> 00:19:25 |chart. Anytime you see these levels here, all you have to do is look at the
238 |237 |00:19:25 ~-~-> 00:19:31 |price. Okay, these prices will tell you where you're at in proximity to the
239 |238 |00:19:32 ~-~-> 00:19:35 |daily range and where you're at intraday, so that way you're not going
240 |239 |00:19:35 ~-~-> 00:19:40 |to get lost in the sauce. Okay, so the market opens up inside that fair value
241 |240 |00:19:40 ~-~-> 00:19:45 |gap. All right, so with it trading in the opening of that fair value gap, and
242 |241 |00:19:45 ~-~-> 00:19:50 |it's bearish, while dollar is bullish, that's going to cause euro and pound to
243 |242 |00:19:50 ~-~-> 00:19:57 |fall against the dollars rallying. We have a London Open kill zone, sell,
244 |243 |00:19:57 ~-~-> 00:20:01 |sign, efficiency, institutional or phone. Entry drill. And then once more,
245 |244 |00:20:01 ~-~-> 00:20:06 |we trade back to it here. So because I didn't want to have to cram in any kind
246 |245 |00:20:06 ~-~-> 00:20:09 |of annotations there, because I want to do it in one chart and be done, I didn't
247 |246 |00:20:09 ~-~-> 00:20:12 |annotate here, but it's an institutional or flow entry here, entry drill here.
248 |247 |00:20:13 ~-~-> 00:20:18 |And then we have the low tagged one more time of that fair value gap trades
249 |248 |00:20:18 ~-~-> 00:20:21 |lower. But also notice it's hitting it at same time, it's consequent
250 |249 |00:20:21 ~-~-> 00:20:37 |encroachment inside this inefficiency right here so that price is 135, 06,
251 |250 |00:20:45 ~-~-> 00:20:55 |135 06 is right in here. Okay, so the upper quadrants 135 074 that's this
252 |251 |00:20:55 ~-~-> 00:21:00 |right here. So we opened, traded higher and then went lower. This is during the
253 |252 |00:21:02 ~-~-> 00:21:05 |like the Asian session going into midnight area time. It doesn't show it
254 |253 |00:21:05 ~-~-> 00:21:09 |on the chart, because I want to have the whole run of the day from London session
255 |254 |00:21:09 ~-~-> 00:21:13 |down. So I got this running there for a second. Just bear with me. I'm getting
256 |255 |00:21:13 ~-~-> 00:21:18 |old. Okay, the fair value gap here trades up into consequent encouragement
257 |256 |00:21:18 ~-~-> 00:21:25 |there breaks lower, accumulation around the low of that inefficiency of daily
258 |257 |00:21:25 ~-~-> 00:21:33 |wick and that price comes in at 134, 87.2 right here, right now. We're in the
259 |258 |00:21:33 ~-~-> 00:21:38 |daily range at this level here, but it's right there. And then trade away from
260 |259 |00:21:38 ~-~-> 00:21:43 |it, come back up. Hit it once more. Break lower. We have a bullish fair
261 |260 |00:21:43 ~-~-> 00:21:47 |value gap here that we went back and forth through, and now we're below it
262 |261 |00:21:47 ~-~-> 00:21:50 |trades back up to it here. So it's an inversion fair value gap. Note the
263 |262 |00:21:50 ~-~-> 00:21:54 |color. Then we have a sell side imbalance, buy side efficiency here,
264 |263 |00:21:54 ~-~-> 00:21:57 |fair value gap. The bodies are respecting that, and it only stabs up
265 |264 |00:21:57 ~-~-> 00:22:02 |just to get the inversion. Fair value gap breaks away here. So this is a
266 |265 |00:22:02 ~-~-> 00:22:06 |measuring gap. It never filled it in again. And this is a bearish order
267 |266 |00:22:06 ~-~-> 00:22:13 |block. We're breaking lower, but look at the overall run. This is about halfway
268 |267 |00:22:13 ~-~-> 00:22:20 |from this high down to that low. So measuring gaps always about halfway, and
269 |268 |00:22:20 ~-~-> 00:22:30 |we're trading into now this earn efficiency by the discount wick. We
270 |269 |00:22:30 ~-~-> 00:22:34 |trade down low, hit the high of it traded a lower quadrant, come back up to
271 |270 |00:22:34 ~-~-> 00:22:39 |the high, hit the order block, which is change in state of delivery. Change in
272 |271 |00:22:39 ~-~-> 00:22:43 |the state of delivery is the opening price of an up close candle. It was
273 |272 |00:22:43 ~-~-> 00:22:47 |rallying here. The algorithm changes gears. And anything at that price are
274 |273 |00:22:47 ~-~-> 00:22:56 |lower, it will spool and reach for lower discount or sell side. So another
275 |274 |00:22:56 ~-~-> 00:22:59 |inversion fair value cap. We have a bullish fair value gap that we trade
276 |275 |00:22:59 ~-~-> 00:23:04 |down through, we trade back up to here, reject and go lower during the New York
277 |276 |00:23:04 ~-~-> 00:23:10 |open kill zone. We come out of that discount wick, and now the next one
278 |277 |00:23:10 ~-~-> 00:23:15 |would be in here, as this levels here. So we have a smaller fair value gap.
279 |278 |00:23:15 ~-~-> 00:23:19 |Trades to consequent encroachment there and then dips down into the upper
280 |279 |00:23:19 ~-~-> 00:23:22 |quadrant. Doesn't quite get to the consequent encroachment, which is the
281 |280 |00:23:22 ~-~-> 00:23:28 |midpoint of this whip down here, and it rallies up to the lower quadrant of this
282 |281 |00:23:29 ~-~-> 00:23:35 |level here, 134, 573, and that's the level right here, right to the tick.
283 |282 |00:23:35 ~-~-> 00:23:41 |Look at that. This is better than pivots, folks. Okay, I promise you floor
284 |283 |00:23:41 ~-~-> 00:23:47 |pivots. They might work sometimes, but when you come you basically compress
285 |284 |00:23:47 ~-~-> 00:23:51 |everything I've taught about reading price action and including time, and
286 |285 |00:23:51 ~-~-> 00:23:57 |then you add these things to it. This is how you use inefficiencies in the wicks.
287 |286 |00:23:57 ~-~-> 00:24:02 |Okay, I'm focusing this portion of the mentorship with just this principle
288 |287 |00:24:02 ~-~-> 00:24:06 |here, because it answers a lot of the questions you've had looming for years.
289 |288 |00:24:06 ~-~-> 00:24:11 |How do you know which one this is what I'm doing? This is exactly what I'm
290 |289 |00:24:11 ~-~-> 00:24:15 |doing. Okay? No, it's not enigma. No, it's not in any other retail stuff. I
291 |290 |00:24:15 ~-~-> 00:24:19 |didn't learn it from anybody else. No one else taught it to me. Okay? But this
292 |291 |00:24:19 ~-~-> 00:24:21 |is what you're looking for. You're looking for. You're looking for a
293 |292 |00:24:21 ~-~-> 00:24:26 |blending and a confluence of PD arrays and time and if it happens to occur
294 |293 |00:24:26 ~-~-> 00:24:32 |inside of old discount or premium wicks of candlesticks, you're going to have
295 |294 |00:24:32 ~-~-> 00:24:38 |wonderful odds in your favor of seeing price action move like you want it to.
296 |295 |00:24:38 ~-~-> 00:24:42 |Now the problem is, is you're going to either overstay your welcome, stay in
297 |296 |00:24:42 ~-~-> 00:24:48 |the trade too long, or just not have the confidence enough to do anything with
298 |297 |00:24:48 ~-~-> 00:24:51 |it, and that's going to be the balls in your court for that. You have to
299 |298 |00:24:51 ~-~-> 00:24:55 |determine where you go, but I can only just teach you how to read it, and you
300 |299 |00:24:55 ~-~-> 00:24:58 |have to practice and learn how to do it better. But then the market just
301 |300 |00:24:58 ~-~-> 00:25:05 |consolidates around. The low of that inefficiency right here. It's a
302 |301 |00:25:05 ~-~-> 00:25:13 |beautiful sell off from this fair value gap here down to a discount click.
303 |302 |00:25:13 ~-~-> 00:25:19 |Notice we didn't even have to break the range going into this low. See that? So
304 |303 |00:25:19 ~-~-> 00:25:24 |it's trading inside the range of what that candlesticks low and that
305 |304 |00:25:24 ~-~-> 00:25:30 |candlesticks high. See, it's it's a whole lot more going on than what you
306 |305 |00:25:30 ~-~-> 00:25:35 |think and like, this is the reason why I never run out of information or teaching
307 |306 |00:25:35 ~-~-> 00:25:40 |concepts, because it's vast, like I could literally teach every single day
308 |307 |00:25:41 ~-~-> 00:25:47 |for four hours, and never run out of the teaching I would run out of life before
309 |308 |00:25:47 ~-~-> 00:25:50 |I would run out of teaching, because there's so many things you can do, and
310 |309 |00:25:50 ~-~-> 00:25:54 |once you understand the freedom that my concepts give you, all you have to do is
311 |310 |00:25:54 ~-~-> 00:25:58 |find something that makes sense to you. What time of day can you trade? What
312 |311 |00:25:58 ~-~-> 00:26:03 |market do you like to trade? What? What? PD arrays. Can you see? You only need
313 |312 |00:26:03 ~-~-> 00:26:07 |one. I mean, look at all the ones in here. See the problem is, is you want to
314 |313 |00:26:07 ~-~-> 00:26:12 |look at the ones up here, or you want to be up here near the high in the open,
315 |314 |00:26:12 ~-~-> 00:26:17 |which is not even shown in the chart here. Think about it like the highest
316 |315 |00:26:17 ~-~-> 00:26:25 |point this price scale goes is 1.3 515, and that's right in here. It's not even
317 |316 |00:26:25 ~-~-> 00:26:32 |getting up to the fair value gap, which you can look in Asians into the midnight
318 |317 |00:26:32 ~-~-> 00:26:37 |hours or so. You can see that forming that portion of cables high. So have
319 |318 |00:26:37 ~-~-> 00:26:41 |that in your journal. But I'm focusing primarily on this because I just want to
320 |319 |00:26:41 ~-~-> 00:26:45 |talk about the london session going in. Going into the New York session, and
321 |320 |00:26:45 ~-~-> 00:26:48 |then going down into the London close, where it creates the opposite and the
322 |321 |00:26:48 ~-~-> 00:26:53 |daily range, which is what you saw down here. There it is. So anything that's
323 |322 |00:26:53 ~-~-> 00:26:58 |formed a low in this period here, I'm going to be content with that, probably
324 |323 |00:26:58 ~-~-> 00:27:01 |being very close to the low if I'm bearish. And I told you last week, I'm
325 |324 |00:27:01 ~-~-> 00:27:06 |bullish on dollar. I told you what I was looking for, exactly what price level I
326 |325 |00:27:06 ~-~-> 00:27:10 |was looking for, the consequence of that inversion fair value gap that hadn't
327 |326 |00:27:10 ~-~-> 00:27:15 |even formed yet. Find that in these dollar mentor, dollar mentorships that
328 |327 |00:27:16 ~-~-> 00:27:20 |are going around here, they're not even calling it ICT anymore. They're using my
329 |328 |00:27:20 ~-~-> 00:27:24 |language still, they're using my terms, but they don't ever say anything about
330 |329 |00:27:24 ~-~-> 00:27:30 |it's ICT okay. You will judge them by their fruits if they cannot do it like I
331 |330 |00:27:30 ~-~-> 00:27:35 |tell you and show you. They can't teach it. They can only talk about like
332 |331 |00:27:35 ~-~-> 00:27:40 |yesterday's news. Okay? I'm the weather man. I'm telling you what the weather's
333 |332 |00:27:40 ~-~-> 00:27:43 |gonna be tomorrow and the next day and the next day out, they're telling you
334 |333 |00:27:43 ~-~-> 00:27:47 |what the headlines are about yesterday. They're telling you who won the football
335 |334 |00:27:47 ~-~-> 00:27:50 |game yesterday, who's who's going to the World Series, because this was the
336 |335 |00:27:51 ~-~-> 00:27:54 |outcome of this game or that game. Okay, I'm not doing that. I'm telling you in
337 |336 |00:27:54 ~-~-> 00:27:57 |advance where it's going to go. And I'm using higher Time Frame charts, because
338 |337 |00:27:57 ~-~-> 00:28:01 |I've had so many complaints over the years that all I talk about is these
339 |338 |00:28:01 ~-~-> 00:28:05 |lower time frames. Well, I'm teaching both right now how to blend both.
340 |339 |00:28:05 ~-~-> 00:28:08 |Whether you want to stay on the higher Time Frame daily or you want to use the
341 |340 |00:28:08 ~-~-> 00:28:12 |lower time frames, it doesn't matter. You have now a balanced perspective of
342 |341 |00:28:12 ~-~-> 00:28:12 |it.
343 |342 |00:28:22 ~-~-> 00:28:26 |Now right, folks, hope you got something out of this one. If not, I don't want to
344 |343 |00:28:26 ~-~-> 00:28:30 |hear about it. I'll talk to you next time. Be safe.
