- 0:27we're going to be looking at a
- 0:28amplification of order block Theory
- 0:31we're specifically dealing with the
- 0:34mitigation block
- 0:36okay when we look at mitigation blocks
- 0:38what we're looking for is a condition in
- 0:42the marketplace where
- 0:43the market has given clear indications
- 0:46that it wants to break down or move
- 0:49higher in a step ladder formation in
- 0:54other words like selling rallies or
- 0:55buying declines
- 0:57Vine declines in bullish markets and
- 1:00selling rallies in a bear Market okay
- 1:02when we look at the marketplace and we
- 1:04frame
- 1:05price action in the form of resistance
- 1:08levels and support levels or anticipated
- 1:10bearish institutional reference points
- 1:12and anticipated bullish institutional
- 1:14reference points we have to have a
- 1:17context in the marketplace behind our
- 1:19viewpoints are we looking at the market
- 1:20that has a bullish scenario are we
- 1:23looking for a market that has embarrass
- 1:24scenario in this example we're going to
- 1:26look at a market that has a bearish
- 1:28example
- 1:29when we're looking at a market that is
- 1:32moving up into a potential bearish
- 1:35resistance level
- 1:37Market typically will move up and they
- 1:40move into a
- 1:42old high it could be an old low it could
- 1:45be a bare shorter block it could be a
- 1:51breaker that we'll learn more about it
- 1:54could be a multitude of things
- 1:56that would lead your opinion
- 1:59into the realm of resistance
- 2:02okay but without going into great detail
- 2:04what that may be there's multiple
- 2:06opportunities to frame that idea of
- 2:08being resistance if a resistance level
- 2:10is expected or you anticipate some
- 2:13selling pressure
- 2:15at a particular level as is indicated
- 2:17here what we do is we wait for price to
- 2:19indicate a confirmation that there are
- 2:21willing sellers up there
- 2:23if the market does show repricing then
- 2:25it realize one more time up to it
- 2:28what we're going to be doing is
- 2:30monitoring does the market have a
- 2:32willingness to want to break down
- 2:35and eventually the market will show
- 2:38signs that it does in fact want to break
- 2:40lower now if you look at this specific
- 2:42pattern here this is what is referred to
- 2:44as an M pattern y because it looks like
- 2:48a giant M okay well when you have this
- 2:51pattern here it's a failure swing with a
- 2:54confirmation break in Market structure
- 2:57that low right here is what you're going
- 2:59to be utilizing to frame the context of
- 3:03the market structure shift
- 3:06so a net shift in Market structure is
- 3:08seen here with a break below that old
- 3:10low that gives us confirmation that the
- 3:12market does in fact have participants on
- 3:15a large scale willing to drive prices
- 3:18lower and that's what we need as small
- 3:20Traders we have to have the willingness
- 3:22to have the smart money indicate their
- 3:24cards if you will show in other words
- 3:26show their hand do they want to send
- 3:28prices lower or do you want to send
- 3:29prices higher in this case this is
- 3:31indicating that the market does in fact
- 3:32have confirmation that it wants to go
- 3:35lower
- 3:39so what we do is we look at this range
- 3:42from that short-term low up to that
- 3:44short-term High inside that range there
- 3:47has been buyers
- 3:49but the problem is is now those buyers
- 3:51are underwater
- 3:54this short-term rally in Price
- 3:55highlights a specific institutional
- 3:57reference point known as the mitigation
- 3:59block
- 4:07once price posts a market structure
- 4:10shift lower your attention as the trader
- 4:13moves to this specific low in price
- 4:15right there
- 4:17inside that low what we're going to be
- 4:19focusing on is the last downed candle
- 4:23because the last down Kindles where the
- 4:25buying took place right before that
- 4:27little short-term rally up
- 4:29since price broke below that low at a
- 4:32subsequent later time which is really no
- 4:37um there's no rule as to how long it
- 4:39takes before that low is violated we
- 4:41just note it and when it's broken it's
- 4:44seen as a short-term support level
- 4:46that's given way with a bearish context
- 4:49behind it so when we see that we're
- 4:51seeing the evidence is that there are
- 4:52smart money entities behind the
- 4:54marketplace driving price lower
- 4:57now at first glance it looks like well
- 4:59this is a missed opportunity but no what
- 5:01we do is we focus on this low because
- 5:03that last downed candle will give us a
- 5:06bearish level to sell into
- 5:12when price drives back up into that old
- 5:14short term low we just referenced
- 5:16there's going to be three reference
- 5:18points that you need to be aware of
- 5:21the market structure shift is seen here
- 5:24we're retracing back into it
- 5:27right there
- 5:29what three points are used at this
- 5:31moment
- 5:32you have point a
- 5:35point B
- 5:36and point C
- 5:39when price action returns to the point
- 5:41of a reference
- 5:44the long positions taken from A to B
- 5:47price swing will have an opportunity to
- 5:50liquidate or mitigate their losses that
- 5:53were occurred during the price move from
- 5:55B to C
- 5:57now this can result in new lower price
- 5:59swings to C for retesting or a
- 6:02significantly lower price move into a
- 6:04support level that's under the market
- 6:06price
- 6:13in short
- 6:14this is an opportunity to sell whatever
- 6:17particular Market or asset class this is
- 6:23as the market breaks lower
- 6:25let's say you look at the chart this is
- 6:26what you see here it does not mean that
- 6:29you've missed an opportunity it just
- 6:30means that now you have a new
- 6:32opportunity that's unfolding
- 6:38do the Longs in here in that short term
- 6:41low that has short-term high do they
- 6:43need to be mitigated
- 6:44we don't know for certain but if you do
- 6:47have a belief that price is going to be
- 6:48moving lower longer term that there's an
- 6:51unrealized lower support level for sell
- 6:54side liquidity that has not been tapped
- 6:56into yet
- 6:57we could be viewing this short-term
- 6:59rally in here as an opportunity for a
- 7:02new selling opportunity
- 7:08we have another Market structure shift
- 7:14so where's our Focus
- 7:16given what was explained in the previous
- 7:18example
- 7:19where's our Focus right now as a Trader
- 7:21why are we looking at a specific level
- 7:24and what are we anticipating
- 7:31that low right there
- 7:33inside that low the last down candle
- 7:35that's what we're going to be looking
- 7:37for price to reach back up into if it
- 7:39does that we can be a seller at that
- 7:42moment
- 7:44as price dries back above it
- 7:47into that low we're watching price trade
- 7:50into that last down candle right before
- 7:52I had that short-term rally before
- 7:55rated that moment here we're looking to
- 7:57go short
- 8:00as price hits that last down candle in
- 8:03the previous short term low
- 8:07where's your focus at this moment we're
- 8:09anticipating price to move down from
- 8:11this point here which is giving us a
- 8:13short opportunity to run the liquidity
- 8:15Out Below this short term low here and
- 8:18potentially as low as our higher time
- 8:21frame support level
- 8:26as price hits our longer term support
- 8:29level or anticipated bullish
- 8:30institutional reference point which
- 8:32could be an old high it could be an old
- 8:33low it could be a bullish order block
- 8:35many many opportunities to frame that
- 8:38idea but whatever that is that forms
- 8:40your idea for support this is the
- 8:42objective that you could be reaching for
- 8:47as price hits that level
- 8:49we would be collapsing our trade and
- 8:51moving to the sidelines waiting for new
- 8:53developments
- 8:57when we had this
- 9:00in the marketplace what we're seeing is
- 9:02the classic support broken turns
- 9:04resistance every time price moves back
- 9:06to an old low it's actually happening is
- 9:08it's referred to as buyer's remorse the
- 9:11buyers at the previous short-term low
- 9:12that saw a short-term pop in their favor
- 9:15then eventually saw the American break
- 9:17below that low they bought that when
- 9:19price gets back to that level
- 9:21they're remorseful for buying it so they
- 9:23bail
- 9:24but on an Institutional level the smart
- 9:27money understands these short-term
- 9:30fluctuations and they can drive price on
- 9:33a short-term basis higher or lower
- 9:35through manipulation
- 9:37so if they're going to manipulate price
- 9:38on the short term by having large orders
- 9:41come in and push and Bully market
- 9:43pricing around they're going to want to
- 9:45liquidate their Physicians because just
- 9:47like anyone else they don't want to
- 9:48incur losses so this gives them the
- 9:51opportunity to mitigate those losses
- 9:56premium price Highs are bought by less
- 9:58informed Traders and sold by smart money
- 10:01which are you going to be grouped in
- 10:05we're going to look at a quick example
- 10:09and I draw your attention to a liquidity
- 10:13avoid in here
- 10:17and there's equilibrium of that
- 10:18liquidity void body's a body end or
- 10:21where's the open and close
- 10:25and we're going to highlight that
- 10:27reference point here except halfway
- 10:29point of this equilibrium
- 10:31the idea is we broke this high back here
- 10:33we're expecting continuation on the
- 10:35upside
- 10:38Market trades
- 10:39higher
- 10:44but it shows a breakdown in here
- 10:51okay
- 10:54in here this failure swing right there
- 10:57we're gonna be looking at this low
- 11:04and I'm just going to drop horizontal
- 11:05lines in on the respective lows
- 11:10[Music]
- 11:12and this will be a new mitigation block
- 11:16when we drop down into the lower time
- 11:18frames
- 11:20in order to sell off there
- 11:23it sells off
- 11:25breaks this low here to the last down
- 11:28candle on this move here is
- 11:35there so once price trades back up
- 11:37that's a sell
- 11:39right in here and choose it just
- 11:41overshoots it by a little bit
- 11:43but nonetheless it breaks lower
- 11:47right here so now our attention is on
- 11:49this low
- 11:52every rally
- 11:55that sees lower prices needs to be
- 11:58mitigated
- 12:00right here so if we trade back up to
- 12:02that low that's a cell right there's a
- 12:04cell we're gonna be aiming for a move
- 12:06back below this low
- 12:10ultimately down into our equilibrium of
- 12:14our liquidity void right here
- 12:17well it comes in at 1 11 48 11 48.
- 12:24here's a
- 12:26short-term low hits it
- 12:28trades lower trades back up into the
- 12:31last down candle
- 12:32hits it overshoots a little bit but it's
- 12:34inside the body of the candle which is
- 12:35with a mitigation block represents price
- 12:38trades down below
- 12:41the last
- 12:43down candle here and we have another
- 12:45lower low here so we can
- 12:48adjust that one to that low there
- 12:52right
- 12:53there
- 12:55price hits that objective is going to be
- 12:57break below this low sells off goes
- 13:00through it and ultimately goes down into
- 13:01our
- 13:03mean threshold of the liquidity void so
- 13:06a couple different things shown in here
- 13:10as an overlap study on
- 13:12mitigation let's take a look at a 30
- 13:15minute chart on the same
- 13:18price action
- 13:26here's the mean threshold liquidity void
- 13:30last down candle great for the up move
- 13:32price hits it sell it right there this
- 13:34is a mitigation block everything that
- 13:36was used to drive price higher once it's
- 13:38traded below here it's underwater
- 13:39they're going to want to mitigate those
- 13:41losses at that candle sell short
- 13:45this last down candle here
- 13:47is violated here it probably trades back
- 13:49up to it here we can be a seller the
- 13:53bodies the whole entire candle is used
- 13:55not just the bottom but we can be a
- 13:57seller down here so it could be a short
- 13:58seller at
- 14:00112.62 and our stop has to be somewhere
- 14:03above the down candle in here okay so
- 14:06that high on this candle comes in at
- 14:09112.89 so it needs to be above that in
- 14:11the form of a stop
- 14:13so we could be seeing just a little bit
- 14:15of draw down in here about 20 Pips or so
- 14:18but never getting much above this down
- 14:21candle probably trades lower violates a
- 14:25very convincing break down here last
- 14:27down candle the low
- 14:29trades up now again notice the body of
- 14:31the candle is not violated this is
- 14:33Hallmark characteristics of a of a
- 14:35mitigation block price trades up into it
- 14:38we're expecting prices below this low
- 14:41now and ultimately reaches down into
- 14:45our mean threshold of the liquidity void
- 14:47then ultimately I'll give you a view of
- 14:49what took place price eventually started
- 14:52moving back up
- 14:53so hopefully this helped you with
- 14:54mitigation blocks we will still talk
- 14:56more about it again in the PDF file for
- 14:58your December 2016 ICT mentorship study
- 15:01notes until next time I wish you good
- 15:03luck and good Trading
