AI Summary

A trader breaks down a trade that made $6,000 in under an hour, explaining the top-down analysis, confluences, and execution steps. The focus is on using ICT concepts like SMT divergence, liquidity sweeps, and fair value gaps to find high-probability setups.

[00:30]
Daily Bias Determination

From top-down analysis, the market was significantly overbought from Wednesday, indicating a bearish bias. Sweeping daily highs added confluence for profit-taking.

[01:23]
Hourly Liquidity Sweep

On the hourly timeframe, the S&P swept out highs right at market open, confirming a liquidity sweep to the upside with a bearish bias.

[01:53]
SMT Divergence Identified

SMT divergence appeared: ES made a higher high while NQ made a lower high, signaling that price would likely go lower.

[02:58]
Confirmation via FVG Invalidation

A bullish fair value gap was invalidated, creating an inverse fair value gap that confirmed bearish momentum. Price then filled a bearish FVG to the downside.

[03:55]
Execution and Targets

Entry was taken after confluences. One contract was managed at 15-minute lows (1:2 RR), and the rest ran to high timeframe drawn liquidity for final take profit.

The trade demonstrates how combining multiple ICT concepts—daily bias, liquidity sweeps, SMT divergence, and fair value gaps—can lead to a high-probability setup with significant profit potential.

Tutorial Checklist

1 00:30 Determine daily bias using top-down analysis (e.g., overbought conditions, daily highs swept).
2 01:23 Scale down to hourly timeframe and identify liquidity sweeps at market open.
3 01:53 Check for SMT divergence between ES and NQ to confirm directional bias.
4 02:58 Look for confirmation: invalidation of a bullish FVG creating an inverse FVG, then entry on bearish FVG fill.
5 03:55 Execute entry with stop above recent high. Manage partial profits at 15-minute lows (1:2 RR) and let rest run to high timeframe liquidity.

[00:03] that made me $6,000 in under an hour this isn't going to be one of those on the Spectrum or you know a little bit messed up in the head all right I'm going to break this down super simply so you guys can copy and apply it to your

[00:15] trying to understand ICT or just being consistent in general this video is going to help a lot so just sit back let it happen let's get in the charts so let's jump right into this this was on June 6th so super recently Thursday okay

[00:30] of last week first and foremost we're just going to get into top down analysis okay how I found my daily bias for this day right so first of all I'm looking in here and I'm seeing okay cool we are significantly overbought from Wednesday

[00:45] okay we definitely want to come down into the equilibrium of this range from down here to up here so I'm looking for bearish bias on top of that we just came through and swept out some daily highs okay so again that's more of a

[00:58] Confluence for at least some some profits to be taken off of these daily highs getting hit so from here again what am I looking for I'm looking for equilibrium from these range lows up to these range highs and again we're not

[01:11] necessarily going to be including this price action because that was from equilibrium hit and again we're kind of ranging right now but I do think that we can come back down to this area at some point in time so boom I got a bearish

[01:23] bias going into that scale down a little bit further okay on the hourly time frame we can see on the S&P we came right on up swept out these highs right when Market opened boom liquidity sweeper okay liquidity sweep to the top

[01:39] side while having a bearish bias Money Maker scaling down even Maker scaling down even further oh what's that you say smt Divergence and all of these Concepts that I'm talking about right now I have

[01:53] videos on the trading transformation that talk about all of these okay so again I'm doing like kind of a Interactive trade recap for you guys so but if you guys need or hear like a concept that you've never heard before

[02:05] it's already been covered in trading transformation or in the boot camp transformation or in the boot camp several times over so boom we see initial sweep right when Market opens beautiful right from there we see an smt

[02:19] Divergence we see a high made right here and then a higher high on ES and then if we go over to NQ let me show where Market opens so you guys can see and understand what I'm talking talking about we have a high and then we have a

[02:32] lower high so NQ because it has smt Divergence is Pretty much telling us hey we are going to go lower so from there what am I doing scaling down even lower

[02:44] I see the smt Divergence on the higher time frame we scale down boom we can see this again from there we got the liquidity sweep we see an smt Divergence trying to get in and I'm trying to get active what am I looking for to execute

[02:58] I'm looking for a confirmation and I'm looking for a third Confluence okay so what do we have right here a bullish fair value Gap that gets invalidated fair value Gap that gets invalidated okay an inverse fair value Gap boom we

[03:11] with an inverse fair value Gap saying hey price is probably going to go lower from there what do we see happen right after that boom price comes after that boom price comes in fills in this bearish fair value Gap

[03:27] downside execute on that [\h__\h] and if you guys have seen I'm pretty sure I posted this on my uh Instagram story so you guys know I ain't capping okay I showed the executions on that and I was talking

[03:40] about all of these confluences live on Kick so we have a couple confluences here we have boom these lows right here which were 15minute lows for a 1 to2 risk reward ratio and then also on top of that boom what do we have these high

[03:55] time frame lows all the way down here and as you guys know I've already done a trade recap on this for you guys that you guys can go back and watch again but we can see that because of that smt Divergence on NASDAQ over here we can

[04:10] Divergence on NASDAQ over here we can see oh well NASDAQ when that happened immediately came down took out these same lows that the S&P did but also came down and took out these high time frame lows so maybe in my case I managed one

[04:25] lows so maybe in my case I managed one of my contracts right here boom manage one of the contracts right here and then let the rest run all the way down until final takeprofit right here which happened over time why because NASDAQ

[04:38] was going to be able to tell us hey we hit this High time frame drawn liquidity our bias was bearish because boom we were really overbought we had to seek out we had an smt Divergence along with a sweep of liquidity along

[04:53] with an inverse fair value Gap giving us confirmation along with a bearish uh bearish fair value Gap that gives us even more confirmation to the downside entry off that stops Above This High boom final take profit on this drawn

[05:07] liquidity simple as that man if y'all made it this far into the video you guys going to ask you you guys to like And subscribe but if you want to you know might as well bang that [\h__\h] up and give me a little Yeet Bell Button as well but
