Every ICT Concept Explained In 38 Minutes

[00:01] and trading ICT. And honestly, I could have made progress a lot faster. So, I'm making this video to explain every ICT concept that actually matters and helped me make over $120,000 last month trading. Let's get into it, baby.

[00:14] get into the actual ICT concepts. Here's a list of all the ICT concepts that I four ICT concepts that I have highlighted are the ones I use most, and I will be going more in depth with that towards the end of the video. So all the

[00:28] over is fair value gaps, bearish EIC, bullish, SMTs, bullish order blocks, liquidity, sellside liquidity, break up blocks, equilibrium, no resistance liquidity, data high, low, market maker, buy model, AMD, market maker, sell

[00:42] model. These are the ones I consider to be the most important, but I don't even use all of them. There's a time and place for each of these. And the most know is that after watching all this video, I want you to pick the three that

[00:55] strategy out of that because that's really all trading is. You just want to with you the most and you can build the most profitable strategy in the world. I literally only use like three of these. And we are back with the freaking broken

[01:10] got is buy side liquidity, which is practically just a high where lots of orders are resting, creating a liquidity pool for price to take before delivering of stop- losses are resting for retail

[01:22] want to be able to identify buy side liquidity, which I just like to use major highs, is because we know that once these major highs get taken, we can anticipate a reaction for price. So we want to wait for any buy side liquidity

[01:36] to get taken before we enter any sort of short. So if we pull up the charts here liquidity, you can see that our significant highs are going to be this high, are going to be this high and are going to be this high with this high all

[01:49] the way at the top being our major high because this is the most significant that we see here. This is the highest point of price action. So we know that once price takes out this high, we can anticipate a really strong reaction

[02:03] down. So, if we watch how price plays out here, it'll go for that first high, bang, and then it'll go for that second high, bang, and then finally, it'll go for that third high. And we know that once price takes out this third high,

[02:15] that practically all those retail traders who were in shorts have been stopped out. And now, we can enter shorts safely, knowing that our high will most likely be protected and won't be used as buyside liquidity for us to

[02:29] this high has been taken, we can anticipate that price will most likely want to sell off because we have taken this major buy side liquidity here, stopped out all retail traders and have practically set up smart money to enter

[02:42] trades and absolutely cook. And so as you can see right after that level gets So if we were to take shorts anywhere along this line, we would probably be really important sauce for you guys because this isn't just some basic [\h__\h]

[02:56] about oh buy side liquidity is just going to be those major swing highs. The what I really want you guys to focus on here is these major highs, right? Because if you're taking longs, price is very unlikely to just have a reaction

[03:09] off these two highs without running this final high. What I'm trying to say is just reverse after taking this high. So if you were taking a long from down here, right? Let's say you took like a nice uh sellside sweep. Let's say like

[03:22] you see, okay, price took out this sell side. Then there's a 5minute inverse of the upside and I'm taking a long setup right here. It's doesn't really make anywhere along this line until this final high gets hit because there's no

[03:36] reason price should be reversing any place before this major buy side. So sellside liquidity, which is just the opposite. It's a low where lots of pool for price to take before delivering higher. often can be seen as where lots

[03:51] of stop losses are resting for retail traders. Same thing vice versa. Instead sellside side here. So, we want to focus on those major lows and we anticipate that when anytime price creates these major lows that that's where retail

[04:04] want to enter any sort of longs, we want to wait for these lows to be swept and then that's when we enter because most people will see those lows as an area of [\h__\h] support and resistance ass trade. [\h__\h] that [\h__\h] We're not doing

[04:17] that. We're waiting for those lows to get absolutely freaking nuked. And now going to smack some [\h__\h] longs to all-time highs. Probably not alltime two, but it's chill. It's chill. Now, same idea is going to be applied here

[04:31] mark out our major swing lows here, we got this one, we got this one, we got got this one, we got this one, we got this one resting right above this one. like I said, the only thing I want to focus on is the major swing low. So, of

[04:47] the sellside liquidity, price is going to want to run all of this. But the final low get taken. And I know that once this final low gets taken that price is most likely to give us a reaction. So, a lot of people would look

[05:01] we're trending bullish. Let me just take a long maybe off like this 5 minute bullish fair value gap just because, you know, we've been going higher and now we're inside this 5minute." No, no. You don't want to be trading against all

[05:14] this liquidity generated that's not in your [\h__\h] favor. There is a ton of what do we want to wait for? We want to wait for price to go lower, sweep this longs. And you'll see that price is attracted to where all these orders are

[05:28] resting. It wants to get rid of all these retail traders. It wants to then people like us can make a lot of money. Then we can print, bro. Then we money. Then we can print, bro. Then we can print. Bang. So, after we take out

[05:41] this, what happens? Price gives us a nice reaction to the upside and we start the sell side sweep. Bang. And now we're getting this inverse. Bang. What are we going to target? This buy side. Bang. And just like that, right? It's as

[05:56] simple as that. So, freestyle. Freestyle. But yeah, like I said, focus with the buy side, focus on the major highs. There's no reason price should be reversing at any point around here. It's only going to reverse or most likely

[06:10] that sellside liquidity. So, taking out this final major low right here and a little bit of extra sauce here, but you can see that this low, which we wanted to see get taken, that's that major swing low there. This is a low that

[06:23] traded into a bullish for value gap, right? And so, if this low gets swept, gap, that's when we can anticipate really strong reaction. So, you'll see price goes ahead, sweeps that low, and then you get super strong displacement

[06:35] upwards. That's because it's inside a higher time frame key level. Think about it. Think about it. Next, we got fair value gaps. I hope you know what this the first person you've ever watched on this planet, then I don't know how you

[06:48] it's a three candle sequence where the wicks of candle one and three do not creates an imbalance in price where price gravitates towards to fill the imbalance in orders and then pushes price in the corresponding direction. So

[07:02] price in the corresponding direction. So in four words it is a magnet and if we make it six words it is a magnet for price. Anytime we create these imbalances with this three candle sequence where the wicks of candle one

[07:14] and three do not meet it creates this imbalance in price that price will gravitate towards and react. Right? So that's what a fair value gap is. All look at something like bullish price action. What does bullish price action

[07:26] we're trending higher we get pullbacks. And these pullbacks are typically into You can use for value gaps on any time frame. Whether it is for your entry or or the next draw liquidity, right? That all depends on what time frame you use.

[07:40] if we look at something like the hourly chart for example and we look right here value gaps, we can see that price comes higher, goes lower, opens up these fair lower, hits these fair value gaps, reacts. What happens? Price goes up,

[07:56] comes down, hits these fair value gaps, reacts. Price comes up, comes down, hits comes up, comes down, hits these fair value gaps, reacts. Price comes up, comes down right here, hits this fair value gap, reacts, and keeps pushing

[08:08] price higher. Right? So, it serves as a magnet. Like, if we break down this leg right here, let's just look at this, and we see price comes up. We can mark out wick one and wick three here. They do not meet of this candle. That creates a

[08:21] trades into the fair value gap and then goes higher. What happens right after? We can mark out these three candles right here. One, two, three. We open up a fair value gap. Price trades into that, reacts, goes higher. What do we do

[08:36] one more time? Price opens up a fair value gap cuz candle 1 2 3 1 and three wicks do not meet. What happens? Price trades down into it. Keeps going higher. trades down into it. Keeps going higher. And this happens over and over and over

[08:51] and over again. And that is literally the whole essence of her value gaps. going to determine whether it's helping you find your bias overall narrative of your entry. But they are one of the best concepts, if not the best concept in the

[09:04] entire planet. You see everyone using them for a reason. Yo Chad, I'm lowkey mogging right now. Am I mogging? Yo, someone make an edit of me.

[09:20] Yo yo, peep this casual flex. hourly chart. Same thing with these bearish gaps. We see them open up. Price

[09:32] price lower. Price opens these fair value gaps up. Trades back into them and value gaps to help you determine the narrative of price. You see how we're delivering from them. All these things. It's the same thing that I practically

[09:45] just went over before, but in the bearish sense. Now we got SMTs. SMTs are assets where one pair takes a high or a low while the other fails to do so. This from that key point because a divergence implies that the asset which failed to

[10:00] take the higher low now doesn't need to take the higher low because the other asset did so. Did that sound hella complicated? Did I overcomplicate the absolute [\h__\h] out of that? In other words, let's say we're on NQ and we're

[10:13] looking to target some buy side liquidity and we see that ES, which is the future chart for the S&P 500. ES takes out that buyside liquidity because they're correlated assets. They both have that buy side. And so if ES takes

[10:26] the buy side liquidity and NQ doesn't, then we can just assume that NQ took it. They work together. So we use ES and and NQ as guides for each other. And anytime we see these divergences occur, this is a strong indication that price no longer

[10:41] needs to go back towards that high or that low where the divergence happened, right? Like just imagine this is NQ on the left and NQ takes a high and ES fails to take that same high, right? We can see that it never took that high,

[10:54] never swept it, but NQ did. Then we mark out an SMT at that major high and we know that ES doesn't need to go to that high and that we are most likely to reverse because we have an SMT there. For example, let's say we're looking for

[11:07] NASDAQ to take this major sellside down here. So, we can take some longs, right? Because we see that we have this buy side above and we want to see NASDAQ just take out this major low right here do something like this before we take

[11:21] any sort of longs. And if we look at ES and we monitor it, we see, oh [\h__\h] we and we monitor it, we see, oh [\h__\h] we see that ES actually took this low, right? That means we have an SMT here because NASDAQ didn't take this low, but

[11:38] because NASDAQ didn't take this low, but ES did take this low. Therefore, we don't expect NASDAQ to go back to this low. And we can expect price to now start reversing and hit all this buy side above us, right? And that's

[11:51] practically exactly what happens after we get that SMT at the low. Price starts going higher and decides to run all this buy side that we have.

[12:03] So once again, we can see that NASDAQ failed to take this low, but ES did. And so I use NASDAQ and EES because they are correlated assets. And that's exactly looking for this major high to get taken on NASDAQ, right? Because we want to

[12:17] liquidity to get taken or whatever reason it may be that you just want to actually in a long position and you're planning to close when this high gets taken. And so you want to monitor ES if you're executing on NASDAQ to make sure

[12:31] ES doesn't take that high without you knowing because if ES takes that high is going to reverse on you and you didn't manage your position properly. So if you look at price on NASDAQ here, we see that price starts trading upwards

[12:43] towards this buy side liquidity right here. And if we go on ES, what do we see? We see that ES actually took out this buy side. What does that create? That creates an SMT at this high. So now NASDAQ doesn't need to go back to this

[12:57] high because there's an SMT there. We can expect price to reverse and start through breaker blocks. We're going to speedrun this one just because I do not I'm just going to teach it to you because whatever. The whole essence of

[13:09] breaker blocks is practically we create a low, we create a high, we create a higher than this low, and then we create a higher high. And then after we create this higher high, we create a lower low. And so this break that after this higher

[13:22] lower low, we create a bearish breaker block around this level right here. And I'll show you how to mark that out. Of course, this is in the bearish sense. pretty quick, though, because I'm not even kidding. I find it to be not that

[13:36] useful, but it is a good way to, I guess, get confirmation that price wants entries personally. All right, so let's look at this for example, right? We go right here. We see that price creates a low. Then price goes up and we create a

[13:51] high. And now price is going to make a lower low, right? This low, which is lower than this low. And what do we want to see a breaker? We want to see a higher high. So if price trades above here and breaks this high, we will now

[14:06] create a breaker block right here. And I'll show you what that looks like. So I'll show you what that looks like. So now price goes up. Bang. And so now the breaker block here is going to be this last upclosing candle before the bearish

[14:19] move that created the lower low. So all you want to look for is that last bullish candle before price traded lower and in this case made the lower low and then of course once we break through this high. So the sequence is low high

[14:33] lower low higher high. Once we make a high above this one after creating a lower low, our bullish breaker is going to be this last upclosing candle. And You can mark out the body. People do it differently, but that is practically

[14:47] what a bullish breaker is. And that is how you get confirmation that price bearish example. Right? So, we have a high, we have a low, and now we want to lower low, and then we're going to get the breaker right here. So now price

[15:02] goes up and we make a higher high. And now if we make a lower low, we'll get lower low. And where is our breaker block going to be? Well, the breaker block in this case is going to be the last down closing candle before we

[15:17] manipulated higher. So that's going to be our bearish breaker right here. Right? So this was the last down closing candle before price manipulated higher, created the higher high, and then broke lower. And then you can see price will

[15:29] respect this and continue trading lower. So that is how we identify our bearish breaker block. Very simple [\h__\h] I barely use these to be honest. Next data highs, data lows is practically just any red folder news event which

[15:44] drops at a certain time creating a very strong voluous juicy candle which you mark out the significant high of the wick and the significant low of the wick

[15:56] pool. Right? So it's the same [\h__\h] as liquidity but that's just induced by news in the market. For example, let's grab a day like September 11th. Right? I just showed you that we had CPI on

[16:09] September 11th. CPI is a high impact news. It drops at 8:30. And so if we look at the market here, you can see that right now it is 7:15 and once 8:30 rolls around, you will see a very giant [\h__\h] candle. Yeah, that's why you

[16:23] [\h__\h] is happening because it can absolutely just destroy you. Yeah, like can't do anything about it. I mean, you can because you can look at the news trade before. But anyways, then data high is going to be the high of that

[16:36] news candle that dropped and data low is going to be the low of that candle. because you can see the actual candle itself. And so if you look right here, right, this was the 8:30 candle. You can mark out data highs, data lows. And so

[16:49] pool, right? So if we take out data highs, what can you expect? Bang, right to sell off. And so it's really important to just mark out those highs strong reactions in price. Sometimes it won't take out both sides, but almost

[17:03] always after it takes out like a data high, it'll go for data low. So just really good thing to mark out. Next concept I want to go over here is uh low resistance liquidity. And low resistance liquidity

[17:16] is just a generation of failure swing highs or failure swing lows, which creates a [\h__\h] ton of liquidity being left behind in the markets. For example, if we grab this chart right here, we can see that we have plenty of failure swing

[17:29] lows leading up to this, right? We have a bunch of sellside just generated accumulated one swing after another and after another. And with each swing, the one after it isn't taking out the previous low. And so what this is doing

[17:44] trend line liquidity pretty much. And so anytime we notice this happening, we can anticipate that price is going to want to take out all of this low resistance liquidity once an opportunity arrives, right? So I like to mark this out

[17:58] generated, low resistance, whatever. Anytime I see LR being generated in the serves as a really high conviction target for me. So I know if I'm going to take shorts that all this is most likely to get taken out. And you can see that

[18:12] eventually when price does dump, it decides to run most of it before going higher. So we can see that here price trades down nearly to the final low here. Uh maybe ES took the final low. Yeah. So you can see ES actually ended

[18:26] up taking the final low here. So there was an SMT which goes back to our SMT concept. Oh no, final low was Yeah, it's all the way back here, but ES had already taken it. And so once all this LR gets ran, price then wants to deliver

[18:39] really important to look out for. You want to be able to see when price is And you can also see right here, for example, after price swept these lows, we left a bunch of highs stacked here, right? High, high, high, high. And once

[18:56] again, this creates this what we call low resistance liquidity. And we want to get ran once price starts delivering higher. And same [\h__\h] happens, right? Price decides to run all of that. So, that's just identifying an

[19:11] failure, swing highs and swing lows. Simple, simple, simple stuff. Next thing Simple, simple, simple stuff. Next thing I'm going to be going over is equilib. Yeah, I don't know how to [\h__\h] spell. Equilibrium, bro. Uh, so equilibrium

[19:24] practically is your ability to mark out a significant uh high and low, right? A significant leg. Let's mark out this leg top to bottom using a Fibonacci tool. And equilibrium as the name implies is going to be the equal the middle the 50%

[19:38] mark of that leg. So if we're looking at a leg like this right and we pull up the it out a bit and we mark out that this high and low we can see that once we create this bullish leg uh when it's a really strong leg like this we want to

[19:52] see price pull back into EQ before continuing higher. So we anticipate a going to want to keep doing that and price is almost always looking to continuing in that direction. So then we can see that price decides to pull back

[20:06] can see that price decides to pull back lower, hit EQ, and then continue higher. then we can see right here we create a smaller leg. Price does what? Comes down, hits EQ, bang, continues delivering higher. Then what does it do?

[20:20] Price creates another leg. And what we'll see most likely happen is price we'll see most likely happen is price pull back into EQ like that once again and then continue higher and then and then maybe do it like a thousand more

[20:34] the point is most of the time price is looking to rebalance to at least Sometimes you don't get the rebalance, but sometimes like this uh you do. Well, most of the time you do. So, just something to take note of because it

[20:49] happens literally all the damn time. It's just a nice thing to know because want to make sure that most of the time you are trading below equilibrium. probability longs. If you're longing in the premium here, then it's less likely

[21:02] to play out. If you're longing from a discount, it's more likely to play out. keep in mind, right? This is as simple as buy high, sell low. Wait, do not listen to that advice. That was [\h__\h] horrible advice. Buy low, sell high.

[21:15] Same [\h__\h] You want to buy at a discount and sell at a premium. Common sense. So, it's nice to mark out that range top to bottom each of these strong legs. And if to at least pull back into equilibrium and then confirm that it wants to go

[21:29] higher. Right? So, you can combine these concepts that I'm teaching you so far. Let's say the strategy you decide to put together is, oh, well, my strategy is waiting for price to hit equilibrium. And so, that's like step one right here.

[21:43] Price hits equilibrium. And after we hit equilibrium, I want to see a fair value gap open up and then wick out of it. And so then you get a fair value gap to open up and then we wick out of it. And this is like your strategy, right? Or maybe

[21:56] your strategy is equilibrium and then break a block. So after we hit equilibrium, I want to see a break a block. So price has to close above here. take longs. And so then you take longs when this shing happens and we we get

[22:12] your own strategy, bro. The point is, if you just combine three of these concepts video, you can make any strategy. It's it's genuinely that simple. I hate to telling you it's more complicated than that is [\h__\h] lying to you, bro. I

[22:26] again, we have a concept that I don't really use often, but it's order blocks. So, here we have bullish order block or bearish, whatever. This is bullish. This sheep of sellside liquidity, which is confirmed by price trading above that

[22:40] an order block as support. So price comes down, sweeps some sellside and then once we get a bearish candle after starting to flip bullish, once price closes above this bearish candle, uh then we use that as the OB. You can mark

[22:53] whole body. Some people even mark out the, you know, wick and body. Some people don't even use order blocks like I do, but I'm teaching you the way I've them. Some people like to use the first candle, right? Some people will use the

[23:06] candle that swept sellside, so this last bearish candle and they'll use that as a sawside sweep for that first bearish candle to be printed. And then once we close above it, that's what I use as my OB. That's what I've seen to work best

[23:19] and most consistently. But to each their own, right? I'm just here to teach you how I've analyzed [\h__\h] and how it's worked in my favor. And so that was a block is just going to be the first bullish candle after a sweep of buyside

[23:31] liquidity, which is confirmed by price trading below that newly formed bullish candle. And then price uses that order block as support to push price lower. Price trades up, sweeps some buy side, comes down, and then once we print this

[23:45] bullish candle after starting to flip bearish. Uh if we close below it, I look to see that wick as the OB and price usually wicks into it and then rejects. blocks differently. This is how I found them to be very effective. So I'm going

[23:57] blocks now. All right. So if I go over this exact example I just showed you, what do we see here? Price is going down. We create this low right here. And so once we sweep this sell side, we want to look for the first bearish candle to

[24:11] that bearish candle. So that's our bearish candle right there. And once price closes above this, I just like to use the wick and that's our OB. So then I see price wicks into that order block right there and then it goes higher.

[24:24] Like I said, everyone uses it really quick. All right. So let's look at this example here. And this time candle instead of the wick because this candle doesn't happen to print a wick.

[24:37] side up here. So now what are we waiting for? We want to see a bullish candle print and then a bearish candle close below it. And that'll confirm the OB. So now we get a bullish candle. So now if price closes below this candle, uh this

[24:51] becomes our bearish order block. And so you can see that price closes below it here. And once price wigs into it, it rejects this order block. You can mark You can mark out the bottom of the wick. This candle barely has a [\h__\h] wick.

[25:05] So, I'd probably mark out the body in this case. And yeah, you can see a price rejected from there and trades lower. So, I mean, order blocks to me in my Some people love them. I'm not like the biggest fan. I think they're pretty

[25:19] that much. Right. To each, like I said, to each their own. You pick the concepts you like and how you want to go about them. But yeah, like I said, if if I'll use the wick. this candle I would make an exception because it doesn't

[25:31] and that's what I'm looking to see rejection from. So I'm going to find one forward. All right, so let's look at an example like this. We have some sellside sellside which we get right here and now we print this bearish candle. Uh after

[25:44] above this bearish candle then this becomes our bullish order block. I just don't even have a [\h__\h] thing for it cuz I don't even use them. But price block. As you can see, price wicked into it right after right here and we traded

[25:59] higher. This is why I like to use this method of the sweep after and then the wick. I found it to be very powerful. use them. I'd be [\h__\h] lying if I said I use them. I I literally don't use

[26:12] them. But this is how I determine OBS. And maybe you like the way I trade them. this, too. But that's pretty much what an order block is. All right. Next thing we're going to be going over is CISD. and CISD. To be honest, I actually

[26:26] really like CISDS, but I don't really use them often. I think one out of 15 of my trades use a CISD, and that's only when an IFG isn't presented. But the way you should see CIC's pretty much is let's say price is trending higher,

[26:40] right? And we go up and it's like kind of similar to a breaker block, but it happens honestly before the breaker block in a sense. Whatever point is, So price makes a high, low, higher, high, and then it breaks lower. And so

[26:53] when it breaks lower, the last bullish candle here before we manipulate it candle here before we manipulate it higher is going to be what we use as the CISD, but more specifically just the end of the body or the body pretty much. So

[27:06] what does this look like? Right? So if price is going higher here and we see price trade lower, create that swing low and now we start trading higher. Once we break above this high, um we have a higher high. If price comes back down

[27:20] and trades below this low right here, well, this is the last up closing candle, right? So once price trades below this low or this level right here, once we break below this bullish candle, then we get a CISD there. So I'll show

[27:33] you what that looks like. Price trades higher and now if we trade below this bullish candle right here, this body, this becomes a CISD. And so price will typically react off that level. You'll see price wick into it and then start

[27:46] trading lower. And I'll show you what that looks like in the opposite sense this, we can see that here price breaks lower. It sweeps this low. And so the last bearish candle before we manipulated lower here is this bearish

[28:00] candle, right? But all I want to do is mark out the top of this bearish candle right here. So once we close above here, we'll get a CISD. So bang, price closes above uh right here. And you can see how price wicked into it immediately after

[28:16] and started trading higher. So we got the close right here and then price wicks into it and then starts trading higher. And that's how how I use CISDS. just because I know this one's a bit confusing for some people. So if we look

[28:30] right here once price manipulates and sweeps this buy side which happens right here. Now we want to find the bottom of the manipulation leg and it would be this bullish candle right here. So once price closes below this bullish candle,

[28:43] we get a CISD and you'll see that price just wicks into it and then starts leg that sent us up and we want to find the last bullish candle here. And once price closes below that, we get a CISD. And so CISDs are good when you can't get

[28:58] an inversion entry, but that's something we could get into in another video. Now, models, buy models, whatever. They literally happen all the time. Do I really use them? Honestly, not really. Because market maker model, market maker

[29:11] sell model is practically just another fancy way of saying is price generating buy side or is price generating sell side. And once we can identify which of sellside side, then we want to wait for the market to start confirming that it

[29:25] been previously generated. And if it's buy side, then we want to wait for price to confirm that we want to run all the buy side. So if we look in this sense here, right, as price is climbing up, ignore the clicking. It's I know it's

[29:38] it's it's annoying. we see price generating a bunch of sellside lows generating a bunch of sellside lows after lows after lows after lows, right? It's kind of like the similar concept of like LR, but this is a bit more

[29:50] extended. Let's say these are sellside levels being generated on the higher time frame, left and right. And so the whole point of understanding market just I being able to identify when price is ready to start taking all those. So

[30:03] now that we've seen that we've start started creating what we call the beginning of this market maker cell model curve and we can grab our curve right here and see that we're sort of creating like this arch right where

[30:15] price is wrapping around creating like this rainbow effect. Then we want to it wants to run this. And once we see that price wants to start going lower we're in a sell model because we've identified that we price wants to take

[30:30] out all this sell side. So suddenly we're in a sell model. And so we start wanting to trade lower. We sweep the first low. And when we see something like this, now everyone's like, "Oh [\h__\h] we're in a sell model." Because

[30:43] clearly price wants to trend lower and take out more of the sell side. And so we just use this to identify where the next key levels of the model can be. But honestly. And so as you can see, the market decides to run most of the sell

[30:57] side that we created and almost completing the sell model here. But we don't complete it entirely in this case and go all the way down to this low. But then you can start seeing, okay, in the process of price taking out all that

[31:09] sell side and trying to complete the sell model, we've actually started generating a potential buy model because now suddenly we have a bunch of highs stacked and we could be going into a b a buy model soon, but we want to wait for

[31:22] that confirmation. And so the second we start seeing price go higher, we're like, "Oh [\h__\h] this could be the beginning of a market maker buy model." like, "Yep, it definitely looks like we could potentially go into a buy model

[31:34] here and start taking out all this buy side." And so it's as simple as being able to identify on what side of the curve are we trading. Is there more buy side for us to take? That is literally the only way I think about market maker

[31:48] models. I I don't even In fact, I don't think about them at all. I never think about them. I never even say the name market maker models. Like that [\h__\h] that [\h__\h] sounds corny to me, bro. But yeah, then you can see this market maker buy

[32:00] model is complete and price runs all these highs. That's the only way I would over complicate it. That [\h__\h] is so stupid. Super stupid. Sorry, I'm a as [\h__\h] And they over complicate simple [\h__\h] And now the last thing we're going

[32:14] accumulation, manipulation, distribution. This is a three sequence Beginning with price accumulating, sideways price action, then trading into a key level and finally distributing, breaking past accumulation

[32:28] zone, and continuing to deliver. Now, the reason I actually [\h__\h] love this understand what phase of the market you are at. So, think about it this way, right? If you're trading during New York session, but you noticed that overnight,

[32:43] for example, Asia dumped a,000 points, what's most likely going to happen after be trading New York AM session with a ton of accumulation. So realistically, the goal is to be trading during one of two phases. Either the manipulation or

[32:55] distribution, but ideally almost always the distribution. And there's absolutely no damn reason to over complicate this one. This is as simple as identifying action. We can see here that price is failing to break out of this range.

[33:08] wait for manipulation. We [clears throat] see price break out of what's good about understanding is AMD this, they're thinking, "Oh my god, bye bye bye. We need to go into [\h__\h]

[33:20] to go into longs." Well, you're going to get caught up in the manipulation and price action is about to [\h__\h] dump. And then clearly you see that price starts dumping because we start going into the true distribution. So price

[33:32] into the true distribution. So price accumulates, manipulates, and then it distributes, right? And this happens in both the bullish and bearish sense price distributes? We're most likely going to start going into an

[33:44] can see that price starts accumulating again. And that's just how it is. It's always happening. What happens? Price accumulates, accumulates once again, accumulation, manipulation, distribution, price distributes lower,

[33:59] accumulation. So, you don't want to be trading during accumulation. You can see it here once again. Price accumulates, it manipulates, and then it distributes. This [\h__\h] happens all the damn time. We can see it on all time

[34:14] sense here. Price is accumulating sideways price action. We're not really doing much. We then break lower, manipulate, and now here, what's most likely going to happen? Price is going to distribute and go higher, right? And

[34:26] that's exactly what happens. I wonder if you guys are getting insanely annoyed by nothing I can do about it. I don't have a silent mic. Sorry. But yeah, like I said in the beginning of the video, really I only use fair value gaps,

[34:40] you know, the validation of a fair value gap, buy side and sell side liquidity. Of course, I use liquidity. And I love stuff like SMTs and even like AMD, right? But realistically, my strategy is as simple as fair value gaps and

[34:54] think about, but it's the truth. And I posted a video right before this about have made me a [\h__\h] ton of money. So you can watch that. And of course, if you being one of my students and learning my model even more in depth, then you can

[35:08] apply using the form below. The mentorship program is incredibly like a model in there. It's a lot about my psychology, how I go about my bias, my drawing liquidity. I mean, so much goes into this. There's live calls every

[35:21] questions. We do one-on- ons. There's Sunday calls. And then there's a [\h__\h] whatever. I don't like yapping too much about this or shoving it down anyone's but it's always available to you guys if you just want to apply, maybe join up

[35:36] some of you are probably thinking, "What is the point of joining any of this [\h__\h] understand. I could give you as much sauce as possible on YouTube in the world for free, but it really doesn't mean anything if you don't do anything

[35:50] than anything. It's just your job to be disciplined, to listen, to be open-minded, and above all, take action, right? You watching this video all the way to the end should say something

[36:02] through this, digest information, and you have like this willingness to learn. Now, just [\h__\h] apply it. You know exactly what you got to do. Don't think taught you. You don't need them literally at all. You can just grab two

[36:15] formulate an amazing strategy that can literally change your life. You don't else's strategy. You could fully make your own. But if you're going to do it, go 100% into it and make the effort to follow your rules every single damn day.

[36:29] If your strategy is [\h__\h] SMT, AMD, whatever, all the freaking D's, pause, then bro, go for it. If that's what you like, but stick with it. You know, if thinking to yourself like, damn, I haven't really stuck with one thing ever

[36:43] in my life. Then take this as a sign. I mean, I don't know if I'm just like going on a side yap right now, but if you guys were ever younger and you heard wasted potential." Like, you were good at sports, but you didn't want to commit

[36:55] just a waste of [\h__\h] potential." I [\h__\h] feel that, bro. I was like that stuff. I'd be really good at it. But I wouldn't stick with it. And, you know, faith with something like trading and stuck with it. I just made an effort to

[37:08] get better every single day. Up until even now, bro, I'm I still look to really all it's about. Just following a system and following your rules. different, but if you can follow it, you're going to be successful. And

[37:21] that's what sucks. But yeah, I hope you guys like this video and I'll be pushing out more stuff like this. I'm just doing a lot of the things you guys are requesting. One of you guys asked for all the ICT concepts. So, here's the

[37:36] really [\h__\h] Whatever. They're all the same [\h__\h] Beep finger. Peep finger. I'm people like destroy a water bottle in like one second. I kind of want to try that real quick. Wait, I'm kind of scared.

[37:56] Peace out, guys. Make sure to like, subscribe, and blow me a kiss. I'm here. I'm here. Blow blow it to me. A thank you.
