# Higher Time Frame Points of Interest - ICT Concepts

## Summary

This video explains a trading strategy that combines higher timeframe points of interest with lower timeframe entry models. The presenter outlines five key areas to watch for potential reversals: highs and lows, fair value gaps, order blocks, OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) of a range, and internal range liquidity. By identifying these zones on higher timeframes, traders can then focus on lower timeframes to find precise entry models.

### Key Points

- **Higher Timeframe Points of Interest** [00:09] — Higher timeframes are relative to entry timeframe. For 1-minute/15-second entries, watch 15-minute, 1-hour, and 4-hour charts for points of interest.
- **Five Key Areas to Watch** [00:36] — The five things to search for on lower timeframes are: highs and lows (equal, session, daily), fair value gaps, order blocks, fair value gap fills, and OTE/internal range liquidity.
- **Highs and Lows as Magnets** [01:03] — Previous highs and lows act as magnets for price. If lows are taken aggressively, price may retrace back up. Watch lower timeframes for entries after highs/lows are run.
- **Fair Value Gaps and Order Blocks** [02:02] — After breaking a high, look for fair value gaps or order blocks as potential reversal zones. Target OTE of the range or fair value gap fills.
- **Using OTE and Premium/Discount** [03:10] — After an aggressive move down into premium, look for a retracement. Target OTE of the range or fair value gaps in discount for long entries.
- **Counter-Trend and Internal Liquidity** [04:06] — After taking a low, expect a relief bounce. Use lower timeframe to look for counter-trend setups. Target internal range liquidity before highs.
- **Combining Techniques** [05:46] — Use multiple techniques (highs/lows, fair value gaps, order blocks, OTE) to predict reversal areas, then watch lower timeframe for entry models.

### Conclusion

By combining higher timeframe points of interest with lower timeframe entry models, traders can identify high-probability reversal zones and execute precise entries. The key is to wait for price to reach these zones before searching for a lower timeframe setup.

## Transcript

How's it going everyone? This video is going to be over when you should be looking for your lower time frame entry model due to higher time frame points of interest. Now these higher time frames
are relative to the time frames you're entering on. So for example, I use the 1 minute and 15 second for my entries and I'll watch the 15 minute, hour, and 4 hour as my points of interest. If you haven't already watched my video on building an entry model, go ahead and check that out because these videos will go right together.
So getting into it, there's five things that I search for in order to be watching price on a lower time frame. Those are highs and lows, right? So it can be equal highs and lows, session highs and lows, daily highs and lows, fair value gaps, order blocks, or when a fair value gap fills.
I'll go over that. OTE of a range, internal range liquidity of a range, which can also go along with OTE. and those are the five that I search for. So let's get into each one with an example,
and hopefully it'll make a little bit of sense when you should go down to a lower time frame to search for an entry model, because you don't want to just be searching all the time. So the first thing we're going to cover are highs and lows. And what you want to look for here are which highs have been taken and which highs are likely to be taken. For example, here you can
see we have these lows that were slightly moved over and had somewhat of a move higher, but it's not too convincing if I move down, right? So these lows are a target or essentially a magnet for price.
So price should go drop below those lows So now that you dropped through those lows this is where you can be looking for an entry right to get long And where would you want to target These equal highs up here
So that is where you can look for an entry. Now you're up into here. This could be looking for a short entry. So you'll just want to be watching previous highs and lows. What has been ran through
aggressively came back through. A great way to see this is through BPR, if you haven't checked that video out, but just watch lower time frames on here and you can possibly get entries after you run highs and lows. So right here, we break through a high. Are we going to continue higher
or drop back down? And that is where you look for fair value gaps. So as you can see right here, we retch into this fair value gap here, and then you can watch the lower time frame entries to see if you get a model. Now, where would you want to target on this? Well, either an OTE of this range
currently, right? So down into this OTE, or where this fair value gap fills, right? Which is also this order block right here. So those would be my points of interest. So if price reaches down
into here, you could look for a possible entry long. So price reaches down into here, you can be searching for lower timeframe entries to possibly get a retracement higher. But you have to realize that we're in a bearish trend here.
So it's likely that we couldn't displace over this high. We're likely to continue lower down here eventually. Right. So if you are going to get a retracement, you would want to target an OTE of this range.
Continuing you see reach up We don quite get to an OT but if you can see we do reach into a premium of this displacement like down Now you looking where is our obvious target Well we have lows right Aggressive move down reaches back up into a premium You likely to see these lows
now what happens after you run a low you can be watching price action on a lower time frame to see if there's some sort of entry model in the other direction right okay so could have found a lower time frame setup now we break up right what can you be
looking for an ote of this range fair value gaps right so when our displacement high is put in which looks like about there. Where would you want to target?
Just rinsing and repeating. Fair value gaps in a discount or OTE. Let me look. What happens from this high up here? You could be possibly looking for a short entry in this area.
Breakdown. Now you can see this is aggressive, So I would expect some sort of relief bounce here, back up into this area, right? So you could be watching lower timeframe in here
for a possible counter trend scalp, right? Don't know if it happens. Looks like it doesn't, but that's why you watch the lower timeframes, right? You don't just enter, you get a confirmed entry. Now we're likely heading for the slope,
or if we leave it, bounce back up, we can look for a short entry up there, right? All right And we do take this low What happens after you take a low and look for long entries in here where would you first want to target Internal range liquidity before highs
So reach up into there. Ideally, get a retracement. And where do you want to reach into? Basically, this order block or OTE of this range.
So ideally, somewhere in there. If you use the bodies, it's going to be a little bit higher up. but you get the point. Continues down, so it reaches into there. Can be looking for lower timeframe longs in here.
Now we are reaching for this high, and that is currently where price is at. So as you can see, we're likely to go reach for this high up here because that is where price wants to go.
After we run this high, what would I expect price to do? retreats back to somewhat of an OTE before continuing higher or doing whatever it wants. And you can see, what do we have right here? BPR or fair value gaps, right? So hopefully this kind
of demonstration showed you how you can use multiple different techniques, such as just highs and lows, fair value gaps, order blocks, OTE, to predict spots where you might get an area
of a reversal, prediction area where you might get a reversal, which allows you to watch a lower time frame and look for a model. I hope this video is beneficial. If you did find it beneficial, please consider liking and subscribing, and I hope you have an incredible day. See ya.
