Good way of thinking about it
Also it's important to have a narrative around everything with HTF and defining your Trading Range
Let's just sit down and imagine somehow you learned how to read “who has the control of the market”. And you are willing to share the knowledge on KZread. I must be reallllyyyy lucky to have this video sent to me. And you can read who is in control just by reading raw candle sticks. Just stupidly amazing. And on the 5 minute chart.
@ 4:47, it is mentioned that the liquidity is taken from the bottom. There can clearly be a case made for liquidity taken from the topside as well and construct a downside setup. The price also reacts to fvgs towards downside after grabbing the liquidity from topside. The only thing that will prevent one from focusing on that setups is if they have bullish bias for the day. Otherwise it's hard to ignore that.
Thanks for your clear crystal explanation, I really appreciate your effort ❣
I use both two. But sometime you will get early entry in fvg which resulted in floating loss.
6 year ago extremely struggling for me decide enter on order block or fvg, finally i find best way to be fixed this problem, If FVG close above or below structure i don't enter on FVG, The logic behind cause bank likely hood take profit at any Structure.

At 5:58 time I see different I see a failure swing low form and a MITIGATION BLOCK form on last up close candle before failed swing low. That's were price rejected from. The MITIGATION BLOCK that formed from aggressive reprising bullish is what actually validated the fvg entry to go long. People who got in short at the top of failed low were under water when price energetically reversed bullish so when price got back there the shorter under water water to mitigate their position and get out of trade which triggers buy orders.
Excellent video. This is exactly what I’ve been struggling with.

Glad to hear it!
If you know the order of the PD arrays you know that from a swing low or a swing high ( failure swing) the OB will form before the FVG and before the OB form you have the Rejection block which you can treat as a OB if you want a deep discount going long you will enter on a OB before the FVG sometime you won’t get the FVG till you get the Shift in market structure and for a deeper discount going long you will enter on the Rejection Block it’s a more aggressive move

So if I understood correctly is always better to enter FVG (following OB) so no risk of being cut out of the trade…. Ok RR could be better but still 5:1 or 3:1 I would be happy with both 😁
Very well done video, easily explained and easy to understand
I've never seen an order block charted the way you did in your first example. What's the deal with that?
That's more like breaks and retest. And support and resistance. That works too

FVG on mondays and fridays, OB on tuesdays and thursday, BB on Wednesday and SUGON Saturday and Sunday

Wasn't OB the candle before move up? So the Red candle ? (Beginning of the video)
Please make a video explaining order flow...
So based on the ideal scenario, in the case of your example. Wouldn’t a buy stop be a good idea right after the liquidity grab? This is further confirmation for the uptrend.
@simulationfx
Жыл бұрын
Could be, never used buy stops like that
That's right.Two players..The banks and the Algorithm. Liquidity is taken care of by the Algorithm to rebalance price where there is displacement creating imbalances or price efficiency. It usually happens by a spike of a wick,the Algorithm takes out internal Liquidity then reverses the price,while doing so,an imbalance is formed when market structure shifts and trend changes direction..Immediately the high created by the Algorithm is strong and respected..Hence the imbalance created will be your entry..Use Fib to estimate entry point.
@garrybest3534

I'm more aggressive and go in as quickly as possible on that "Spike of a wick" (Liquidity Grab) with a stop 3 handles above in case it fools me and goes even higher. So far, high win rate, and a better ratio = 4/1, 5/1, or more.

What is for you order block? Look at 2:38 -it's not a order block 3:27 it also any order block You choosed what you want to show rejection of price but all this places aren;t order blocks
OB still wins 1st example inside structure OB. 2nd example there is entry earlier using breaker block. Fvg is just a byproduct of OB. Finally it's your choice

Can you clarify why then we didn't assume that algo's were in control when we can clearly see a reaction to the FVG before the move up/failure to break high and then dip down into order block . We first react off the FVG from 9am so wouldn't we assume algo's are in control? I'm sure I'm missing something :) Thanks in advance.
@simulationfx
Жыл бұрын
I think you are talking about example 2 if so then price reacts from an order block (by my definition) and so for me it would count. I can see why you think its a FVG reaction and tbh that is a fair assessment, but after that move we can see price fills a FVG but that doesn't lead to a higher high and so when price comes into the order block left behind we can understand that the institutions are in control here rather than the market algo. Great question!

curious why youre anchoring your bullish orderblocks to green candles. most confusing thing about this subject is the huge variety of ways people are using them. is it because the green candle youre anchoring to is part of a red candle in a higher timeframe or what?

and bearish order blocks to red candles. . is that something he covered in paid mentorship? last video i just watched, dude was showing breakers and refering them to standard orderblocks saying the requirement of the order block is that a short term low is broken followed by break of short term high, basically a breaker i guess.. there doesnt seem to be any order to this theory. After watching almost every video on ICTs channel, i think he could be helpful by spending more time going into very detailed specifics of all these terms and how to apply them and whats ok to alter from the standard. mining gold aint easy. lotsa sifting

Good question. I do it for two reasons. The first being the fact that sometimes order blocks get missed. So by picking the candles the way I do, i ensure that happens less frequently, although I still get missed sometimes. The second reason is because for example in a sell trade a red candle will have a green candle inside it on a lower timeframe so it doesn’t really matter which color candle i pick. As long as either, there is the opposite color on a lower timeframe and/or i cover the ICT order block with my SL. Ive found that marking my order blocks like this work best for me. 👍
The first example you would only know that high in hindsight. Unless I'm reading into this wrong.
Can you explain why you wouldn’t be looking at the order block prior to the big red candle on the last trade example around 9:00? I get that we don’t know whether to enter on a FVG or OB. I’m just wondering how you knew to ignore the OB right before the move that actually broke all of that previous structure?

Just a quick question about order block. He says it happens when there is a liquidity run on a low swing then it goes up to break bulish structure. The open of the first candle leading to the swing low is where the order block candle is. But i see you drawing order blocks just after the swing low or the swing high. Im so confused lol
