- 0:35welcome back folks this is
- 0:37the third teaching of eight from the
- 0:39december content of the ict mentorship
- 0:42we'll be talking about reinforcing order
- 0:44block theory
- 0:46selecting and avoiding
- 0:49and we're going to first talk about
- 0:51the
- 0:52bullish order block everything i say
- 0:54here you'll just reverse for a bearish
- 0:56order block to save time
- 1:00definition of a bullish order block is
- 1:02the lowest candle
- 1:04or price bar
- 1:06with a down close
- 1:08that has the most range
- 1:11between open to close
- 1:13and is near a support level
- 1:18validation of a bullish order block is
- 1:20when the high
- 1:22of the lowest down candle or price bar
- 1:25is traded through by a later formed
- 1:27candle or price bar
- 1:31entry techniques using a bullet shorter
- 1:33block
- 1:34when price trades higher
- 1:36away from the bullish order block and
- 1:38then returns to the bullish order block
- 1:40candle or price bar high
- 1:43this is bullish and can be used for a
- 1:46bullish entry
- 1:49defining risk with bullish order block
- 1:53the low of the bullish order block is
- 1:55the location of a relatively safe stop
- 1:58loss placement
- 2:00just below the 50 percent of the order
- 2:02block total range
- 2:04is also considered to be a good location
- 2:06to raise the stop loss after price runs
- 2:08away from the bullish order block to
- 2:10reduce risk when applicable
- 2:16okay let's take a look at a supposed
- 2:18support line now that can be in the form
- 2:21of a old low on a long term or higher
- 2:25time frame chart
- 2:26it could be an old high where price has
- 2:28moved above recently and now we're
- 2:30trying back down into it so simple
- 2:32support resistance ideas are just enough
- 2:35here but the main thing is you want to
- 2:36be using it on a higher time frame
- 2:37charts like a monthly weekly or daily
- 2:41and eventually you'll see price trade
- 2:43down into this
- 2:45level that you identified as a support
- 2:47level
- 2:48once price trades down into the support
- 2:50level and it could trade to it or just
- 2:51through it doesn't make a difference but
- 2:53what we're doing is we're waiting for
- 2:55price to show us indications
- 2:57that smart money or a large body of
- 3:00big flows or those individuals that are
- 3:03on an institutional level they have a
- 3:05whole lot more collectively than we do
- 3:07in terms of money when they participate
- 3:09in a move it'll be seen in price action
- 3:14so when we have this down candle we have
- 3:16already
- 3:17assuming
- 3:18that this may be a bullish order block
- 3:21we don't know that yet
- 3:23until at a later time when another
- 3:25candle trades through it what are we
- 3:27specifically aiming for
- 3:29we're identifying our focus
- 3:32the down candle is high when that is
- 3:35violated
- 3:36with a new candle and it trades through
- 3:38that high now we have a validated
- 3:41bullish order block
- 3:48this candle validates the down candle as
- 3:50a bullish order block
- 3:52now this moment
- 3:54if we trade back down once that down
- 3:57candle or suspected bullish order blocks
- 3:59highs violated
- 4:01we can now highlight that candle's high
- 4:04and even in the very candle that broke
- 4:08that down candle's high if it trades
- 4:10back down to that down candle's high or
- 4:12the voltage order blocks high
- 4:14that could be a retraded
- 4:17price that which we could day trade off
- 4:19of or enter our longs early in other
- 4:22words we don't have to wait for a later
- 4:25time for it to trade back down to this
- 4:27level
- 4:31eventually price will
- 4:33run away
- 4:34at this point if you didn't enter on a
- 4:37re-trade at the bullish order blocks
- 4:40high you're simply going to be waiting
- 4:42for price to want to pull back
- 4:45now we have indications that there has
- 4:46been displacement in the marketplace
- 4:49that means someone with a whole lot of
- 4:51money and a whole lot of interest
- 4:52wanting to see higher prices
- 4:54is now in play
- 4:56they are participating in the
- 4:57marketplace
- 4:58this is the evidence in price action
- 5:00that you have institutional sponsorship
- 5:02behind the move
- 5:04large flows or
- 5:06institutional traders have the capacity
- 5:09to move price whereas we as lower
- 5:12grade traders in terms of retail or
- 5:15smaller traders in terms of respect of a
- 5:17bank or
- 5:18a large
- 5:20entity
- 5:21in an institutional capacity
- 5:24we can't move the marketplace but they
- 5:26as a whole collectively can
- 5:29so what we do is we wait we're patiently
- 5:32watching price we anticipate prices
- 5:34start to retrade back down into
- 5:37that down candle or bullish order blocks
- 5:39high
- 5:40at this moment
- 5:42we can set alerts
- 5:45we identify the high on that candle now
- 5:47i'm using the bodies of the candles you
- 5:48may end up
- 5:49using the wick but i want your focus
- 5:52primarily on the bodies of the candles
- 5:53and when we talk about wicks
- 5:55i'm going to overlap order blocks with
- 5:57fair value gas because that's going to
- 5:59be the answer to many of your questions
- 6:01as it relates to when do we use the
- 6:02wicks and when do we use the buys of the
- 6:04candles but primarily i want you
- 6:06focusing on the bodies of the candle
- 6:07when we're talking about order blocks as
- 6:09a whole
- 6:11so at some point when we see that level
- 6:14okay that high of that order block when
- 6:16we're close to it we can now set an
- 6:19alert
- 6:20we can set our platform to remind us
- 6:22with a text to our phone or email us or
- 6:26however it is that you would be uh
- 6:27alerted by your platform some platforms
- 6:30have
- 6:31pretty sophisticated means of contacting
- 6:33you others are just simply a
- 6:35you know an audible alarm that goes off
- 6:38on your computer to draw your attention
- 6:40to a specific market
- 6:42but until then you're going to submit to
- 6:44time you're waiting now this is
- 6:46sometimes the hardest thing to do as a
- 6:48trader
- 6:49we identify what we're looking for in
- 6:51terms of a entry
- 6:53but you have to wait for price to get
- 6:55down there
- 6:56while price is trading lower you should
- 7:00already formulate an idea of what it is
- 7:02that you're going to do
- 7:04in terms of risk how much you're going
- 7:06to put on the trade when you buy long
- 7:08and where you're aiming to get out of a
- 7:10market with a profit all those things
- 7:12should be factored in during this time
- 7:17eventually price will drive down into
- 7:19that down candle or bullish order blocks
- 7:21high
- 7:22at that moment if you're in front of
- 7:24your charts that's when you enter the
- 7:26market with a long position
- 7:30if you have a limit order you're going
- 7:32to add a few pips and preferably it's
- 7:34about five pips we like to add
- 7:36to a bullish candle
- 7:38and that way the spread will be able to
- 7:40kick us in on a long entry
- 7:43but you don't have to always rely on a
- 7:45limit order
- 7:46you can go and rate the market as it
- 7:48hits
- 7:49that down candle now sometimes it'll
- 7:51drive a little bit deeper into that
- 7:53bullish order block and that's okay
- 7:55but for now i want you to try to key off
- 7:57your demo entries on the down candles
- 8:01body of the candle the high and the cut
- 8:03or the open in this instance
- 8:06any down candle
- 8:08the body is going to begin with the
- 8:09opening
- 8:10and it ends with the close
- 8:16what we're actually looking at is
- 8:18internal range liquidity
- 8:21now when we're trading inside the range
- 8:23and that range is defined here
- 8:27what we're looking for is an expansion
- 8:30up
- 8:31into a known level of what what's up
- 8:34there
- 8:36well that's going to come in the form of
- 8:38external range liquidity
- 8:40the external range liquidity is where
- 8:42we're going to be looking
- 8:44to offset
- 8:46some or all of our long position
- 8:52now we identified the buy level we've
- 8:54entered the market
- 8:56before we do this what we've
- 8:59should have had in mind
- 9:01is i ideally where we're looking to take
- 9:03our profits that's up here above an old
- 9:05high
- 9:06and that's going to be in the form of
- 9:07buy stops so if we're buying or entering
- 9:10long
- 9:12inside of a known range at a bullish
- 9:14order block at internal range liquidity
- 9:17we're buying the liquidity it's offered
- 9:19at that level
- 9:21we're going to be looking to
- 9:23sell our position to willing buyers
- 9:26in the form of those individuals that
- 9:28hold buy stops above that old high
- 9:31that's all well and good for profit
- 9:32taking but what do we do for risk
- 9:35we take our attention back down to that
- 9:38bullish order block because it's going
- 9:39to give you everything you need for your
- 9:41trading plan
- 9:43we identify the entry at the open
- 9:46of the down candle that's our buy point
- 9:48or five pips above it
- 9:52but we want to focus our attention in
- 9:53the midway point of that down candle
- 9:56that's going to be in the form of the
- 9:57mean threshold
- 9:59ideally the best order blocks will not
- 10:02see price trade down below the midway
- 10:04point of the entire body of the candle
- 10:08you're going to measure the open to the
- 10:09close on the down candle to measure
- 10:12where the middle of it is do not use the
- 10:14wicks don't use the very high or the
- 10:15very low
- 10:16measure your
- 10:18fibonacci level
- 10:2050 level
- 10:22or halfway point is the mean threshold
- 10:24only on a
- 10:26bullish
- 10:26order block
- 10:28it's the same thing said with a bearish
- 10:29order block but you just don't want to
- 10:31see price drive down deeper than the
- 10:34mean threshold by very much it can stab
- 10:35through it just by a little bit
- 10:37but we primarily don't want to see it
- 10:39trade down there at all the better order
- 10:41blocks won't do it at all
- 10:44and your protective cell stop is going
- 10:46to be below the bullish order blocks low
- 10:49or below the close
- 10:51now at this point depending upon where
- 10:53that low is it could be
- 10:55the low of the
- 10:57wick
- 10:58but primarily you're going to be looking
- 10:59at the low
- 11:00formed by the close of the body of that
- 11:02candle
- 11:08now again
- 11:09focusing on what we anticipate in price
- 11:12eventually
- 11:13price should show a responsiveness and
- 11:16trade up
- 11:18and through
- 11:21our old high when that happens
- 11:24you're going to be looking to take
- 11:25partial profits or all your profits
- 11:28depend upon how big that move was and
- 11:29how much profitability you obtained what
- 11:31you're actually trying to do is you're
- 11:33going to be pairing your long exit with
- 11:34willing buy stops and that is
- 11:36essentially
- 11:37bullish order block trading in a
- 11:39nutshell
- 11:40it's been complicated
- 11:42by many people on
- 11:44the youtube that's adopted it
- 11:47and those that want to use it on twitter
- 11:49and on social media they've shared some
- 11:51several ideas
- 11:52but i want to focus on the simplicity of
- 11:56them
- 11:57here and then we're going to graduate
- 11:59into more teaching
- 12:01uh later on in this month that are going
- 12:03to be
- 12:04subordinate
- 12:05sub topics that are going to be taught
- 12:08to you
- 12:09during the week of christmas so i'm
- 12:11going to give you actually more
- 12:12amplified teaching with the order block
- 12:14so this is not the entire
- 12:16treaty on
- 12:17[Music]
- 12:18order box as it relates to
- 12:20buying and selling
- 12:24okay liquidity based bias
- 12:28okay if the monthly chart is bearish
- 12:31the weekly charts bearish and the daily
- 12:33charts bearish
- 12:35that'll give us
- 12:36a wonderful opportunity
- 12:38to get in sync with institutional order
- 12:40flow
- 12:43intraday charts four hours and less will
- 12:46be correcting and retracing higher
- 12:49now again the markets are predisposed to
- 12:51go lower because the monthly weekly
- 12:52daily we have arrived at a bias that we
- 12:55have seen price want to go lower it's
- 12:57been making lower lows and lower highs
- 13:00support levels are giving way
- 13:02resistance levels are being formed and
- 13:04being respected
- 13:05when you see those evidences in price
- 13:07along the lines of the monthly weekly
- 13:09and daily we can zero in on the four
- 13:11hour
- 13:12okay and start looking for liquidity
- 13:16on the buy side in other words there's
- 13:17going to be a premium built into the
- 13:19marketplace or
- 13:20a rally
- 13:21you're going to be looking to sell
- 13:22rallies
- 13:25protected by stop raids or returns to
- 13:27bearish order blocks
- 13:29or fair value gaps and or filling of a
- 13:32liquidity void each offering a potential
- 13:34low resistance liquidity run
- 13:36shorting for a target under a recent low
- 13:40what low would you be targeting well you
- 13:42want to be primarily looking to see
- 13:44what's near term on the daily chart what
- 13:47liquidity is resting on that daily chart
- 13:49your
- 13:50trade on a short could be looking to
- 13:52take advantage of buying back below
- 13:55a daily low where cell stops would be
- 13:57resting
- 13:59if there is an objective that you can
- 14:00see on the weekly chart much in the same
- 14:02way we would have identified something
- 14:04on the daily we would be looking for
- 14:05that objective as well
- 14:07primarily you'll be trading in the
- 14:09direction of the monthly chart because
- 14:11that's where the large funds and
- 14:13institutional order flow is going to
- 14:15begin and then it moves down into the
- 14:18weekly chart then it moves down into the
- 14:20daily chart the daily chart is the most
- 14:23dynamic of these three time frames and
- 14:25you'll see a lot more trades that
- 14:27actually
- 14:28counter
- 14:29long-term higher time frame
- 14:30institutional order flow
- 14:32so that weekly chart will have a lot
- 14:34longer time period required to change
- 14:37direction versus the daily chart that
- 14:39can go up and down in multiple times and
- 14:41still maintain the bearish nature of the
- 14:43weekly and the monthly and obviously the
- 14:46monthly takes a long time to change
- 14:47directions and that's where the power of
- 14:49what i'm going to teach you in this
- 14:51module will give you
- 14:53okay liquidity-based bias for
- 14:56a bullish
- 14:57monthly chart
- 14:59bullish weekly chart and a bullish daily
- 15:01chart
- 15:03interest rate charts four hours or less
- 15:05will be correcting and retracing lower
- 15:08this is where you anticipate the market
- 15:09to enter into a discount and seek sell
- 15:12side liquidity to buy from
- 15:15and what we just showed you an example
- 15:17of
- 15:18was the bullish order block that you
- 15:19would use in this instance and we're
- 15:20actually going to go into the dollar
- 15:21index and actually break it down show
- 15:22you all this
- 15:24conceptually protective cell stop raids
- 15:27or returns to bullish order blocks or
- 15:29fair value gaps and or filling up a
- 15:32liquidity void each offering a potential
- 15:34low risk liquidity run
- 15:36buying for a target above a recent high
- 15:39just like we were referring to earlier
- 15:41you're going to be aiming for something
- 15:43on the daily chart preferably
- 15:45and you're going to be looking for buy
- 15:46stops above the marketplace on a daily
- 15:48high it could be an um it could be
- 15:50yesterday's high it could be
- 15:52last week's high that you can see on the
- 15:53daily chart it could be last month's
- 15:55high
- 15:56it could be intra week high
- 15:58okay but try to find something on the
- 16:00daily chart
- 16:02to give you a trade
- 16:04in terms of uh framing your idea that
- 16:06you want to be a buyer and then
- 16:09preferably look for something in the
- 16:10weekly chart that would support even
- 16:11higher because if you have something
- 16:13higher on the weekly chart
- 16:14you probably will have a lot better odds
- 16:16behind your
- 16:18trade
- 16:19if you're looking to move into a level
- 16:20on the weekly chart and preferably
- 16:22obviously
- 16:24the monthly chart
- 16:26if it's bullish you will be in sync with
- 16:28the institutional overflow that will be
- 16:30seen by studying that time frame
- 16:33so let's take a look at the monthly
- 16:35weekly and daily on the dollar index and
- 16:38give a conceptual idea of what i'm
- 16:40referring to here using bullish over
- 16:42blocks
- 16:47let's take a look at the resistance
- 16:51levels
- 16:52you see here
- 16:56we have equal highs here
- 16:58okay
- 17:00and
- 17:00price came down and hit
- 17:03level of
- 17:05[Music]
- 17:07support
- 17:10[Music]
- 17:12so that happened here
- 17:15okay so we know that there's equal highs
- 17:17up here
- 17:19so what's above equal highs what was
- 17:21taught to you in september
- 17:22it's going to be in the form of buy
- 17:24stops
- 17:25it's too clean too neat
- 17:28and price come down
- 17:30cleared out an old low but we're not
- 17:32going to talk about
- 17:34stop
- 17:35runs here
- 17:37we're going to look at this as a support
- 17:39level okay all we're doing is
- 17:40classifying this as a support
- 17:42price comes down hits that
- 17:45okay and we're gonna wait to see if
- 17:47there's a willingness to trade away from
- 17:49it we see it happen here
- 17:52when that occurs this up candle
- 17:54violates the down candle
- 17:58right before the level was hit at this
- 17:59support level
- 18:01so once we have that
- 18:03[Music]
- 18:09we now have a order block that's
- 18:11validated so now we can be a buyer
- 18:14if price comes back down into this
- 18:16candles opening
- 18:18where it starts to body the candle
- 18:20that price level is 94.58
- 18:25and just double check that the opening
- 18:26is 90 458 yes correct
- 18:29so when price trades back
- 18:31down into it as you can see here move a
- 18:34little bit more show more data
- 18:36[Music]
- 18:37price trades down into it on this candle
- 18:39now it quickly moves away from it on
- 18:41this candle here
- 18:43[Music]
- 18:44but at that moment when it hits this
- 18:46okay the the low on that candle
- 18:53comes in at 9406
- 18:579407
- 18:59and the level we had here is 94.58
- 19:04so about uh about 50 pips
- 19:07[Music]
- 19:08thereabouts
- 19:09in terms of movement through the level
- 19:11and again this is a monthly chart so a
- 19:12little bit of
- 19:13uh flexibility is necessary i'm looking
- 19:16for
- 19:18very easy to find low resistance
- 19:21liquidity runs with a bullish order
- 19:22block
- 19:24so when price hits it
- 19:26this particular month is
- 19:29august of 2016 so we could expect to see
- 19:32some bullishness
- 19:34in august
- 19:36and i'll let you see the rest of the
- 19:38data here you can see clearly that the
- 19:39market did
- 19:41in fact
- 19:42trade all the way up through to equal
- 19:45highs here the present time of this
- 19:46recording uh december
- 19:502016.
- 19:53and we're going to take another look at
- 19:55this down candle here because this order
- 19:58block becomes another support level
- 19:59remember if we anticipate bullish price
- 20:02here
- 20:03doesn't that by nature support price in
- 20:06the form of support and resistance ideas
- 20:09so this level here if we see a down
- 20:11candle
- 20:13off of that level
- 20:14that could be a potential bullish order
- 20:16block as well
- 20:17remember it's going to be trading down
- 20:19into that level and why are they doing
- 20:20this they're going down there to pick up
- 20:22more
- 20:23opportunities to get long at a cheaper
- 20:26price
- 20:27more discount price
- 20:29so when price was a bearish can locator
- 20:32that's when the order block would have
- 20:34been hit again okay and then what do we
- 20:36have here on this candle
- 20:37it violates this down candle's high okay
- 20:41and the open on that candle is the open
- 20:43is 95.98
- 20:47and the level is 95.98 on our level here
- 20:50on the segment
- 20:52and you can see price hits that level
- 20:54here it opens on this candle and trades
- 20:56all the way down hits it
- 20:58this would be another support level
- 21:00chances of 18 prices trade higher so
- 21:03we're going to do is we're going to drop
- 21:04down into a weekly chart and we're going
- 21:06to start looking at this
- 21:09month here and we're going to put a
- 21:11vertical line there
- 21:14delineating everything to the
- 21:16right
- 21:19of this vertical line and i'm going to
- 21:21highlight it
- 21:23big and bold
- 21:26so we can't miss it and we'll just make
- 21:28it a big old bright
- 21:31red color
- 21:34okay so now we're going to drop down
- 21:35into a weekly chart
- 21:37and we'll see how this
- 21:39gives us a weekly
- 21:44bias as well
- 21:47here's here it is here price trades down
- 21:50into that level
- 21:51okay
- 21:52price rallies away
- 21:56when price rallies away like that
- 21:59we're going to be looking for
- 22:01an objective
- 22:02to go long
- 22:05on this level in here
- 22:08right in here
- 22:09so how many times did price move away
- 22:13from this down candle is by and
- 22:15identified again we're going back out to
- 22:16a monthly chart
- 22:22[Music]
- 22:25that's this level here so in
- 22:30may
- 22:32prices validated that order block in may
- 22:35okay so
- 22:36we're going to move over into
- 22:40may
- 22:43there's may
- 22:45okay and here's the order block level on
- 22:47the monthly chart
- 22:49so price trades down into it here
- 22:53and we wait to see does price want to
- 22:56rally away
- 22:58we're in this is the level you have to
- 23:00be identifying because it's the monthly
- 23:02order block the bullish order block on a
- 23:04monthly level
- 23:07so we're gonna broaden that one up a
- 23:09little bit
- 23:10[Music]
- 23:12okay and then price is trading down into
- 23:14that so what are we waiting for we're
- 23:16waiting for evidence to support the idea
- 23:18that
- 23:20the large traders want to send price
- 23:22higher
- 23:24price does that here it violates this
- 23:26down candle right here
- 23:29it's it's high is broken right there
- 23:32okay right there so now this
- 23:35order block on a monthly level can be
- 23:37refined
- 23:43to this level right there
- 23:46okay so price trades through this down
- 23:49candle now this down candle in a weekly
- 23:52has been
- 23:53refined from a monthly level
- 23:56so now we can anticipate this level if
- 23:58it's traded back down into it we could
- 24:00be a buyer at that level
- 24:02we see that happening here price trades
- 24:05down into it
- 24:07notice the down candles
- 24:08midpoint or mean threshold
- 24:20right here
- 24:21just pierces it just a little bit but
- 24:24does not go down below the body of the
- 24:25down candle
- 24:27what do we do we identify we're in a
- 24:28range the range is this low to this high
- 24:32it's trading back down into
- 24:34internal range liquidity absorbing some
- 24:37more buys in this down candle
- 24:39we should see the responsiveness on the
- 24:41upside now mind you this is a weekly
- 24:42chart look at the body's respect
- 24:45of this down candle's opening
- 24:47okay
- 24:48yes it trades down through a little bit
- 24:49but we could be a buyer at that level
- 24:51here with the expectation that we're
- 24:53going to see a run
- 24:55we're at
- 24:57right above these highs
- 24:59okay right above these highs so now
- 25:01here's when bearish order blocks
- 25:04are not considered
- 25:06this up candle great for this down move
- 25:09here we would not look to that as a
- 25:12selling point we don't look at that as
- 25:14we're going to get short here when it
- 25:15trades up to that
- 25:17this
- 25:18up candle we don't look at that and say
- 25:19okay we're going to get short why
- 25:21because the higher time frame is
- 25:22suggesting we're going to be going
- 25:23higher
- 25:24overall
- 25:25long term in the long term trend
- 25:27direction is going to drive a lot more
- 25:30significant price action
- 25:32than looking for sales in other words
- 25:34we're going to be looking to be buyers
- 25:36on dips
- 25:37and selling on the rallies to take
- 25:39profit
- 25:41so that's when you want to avoid
- 25:43uh bearish order blocks because you're
- 25:44standing in way of institutional order
- 25:46flow
- 25:46so there's going to be buy stops above
- 25:48these highs here that we're going to
- 25:50sell
- 25:50our longs to they're willing buyers
- 25:52great we're going to be willing sellers
- 25:54if price gets up to that point from down
- 25:56here
- 25:57in the form of
- 25:59pips
- 26:03we have
- 26:04a range
- 26:11of
- 26:12almost 300 pips 290 pips potential range
- 26:16there okay
- 26:18and there's nothing wrong with that
- 26:22so now also
- 26:25we have
- 26:26this level in here we can be keying off
- 26:29of
- 26:29on a daily time frame
- 26:32and we can use a four hour time frame as
- 26:35well to refine
- 26:36that we're going to look at
- 26:39this level here
- 26:40price shows the willingness to want to
- 26:42move away and it does
- 26:44we can now identify this
- 26:47level here which was the other
- 26:49monthly higher bullish shoulder block
- 26:51we're going to refine that level too
- 26:53well how are we going to refine it well
- 26:55we have this down candle right before
- 26:56the price moves higher this candle
- 26:59trading through the last down candle
- 27:01right here
- 27:02that
- 27:03validates this down can that's the
- 27:05bullish order block
- 27:06so we can borrow this level for a moment
- 27:14put it right on the opening
- 27:16okay price validates the bullshotter
- 27:18block right there
- 27:19okay
- 27:20and
- 27:22you can see that it trades back down
- 27:23through it
- 27:25in this instance we didn't get that much
- 27:26of a move away we want to see price move
- 27:29away we want to see that
- 27:31preferably what i'm looking for is a
- 27:32move of whatever the order block is now
- 27:35this is a notation for your notes okay
- 27:37this is the first time i've included
- 27:39this
- 27:40if you see
- 27:43a move here's your order block
- 27:45what i like to look for is
- 27:48two to three
- 27:51heights
- 27:52or the range if you will of the order
- 27:54block i want to see at least two to
- 27:56three times that
- 27:57as a rally away and that will give me a
- 28:00nice decent expectation to see a
- 28:03retracement back into to getting another
- 28:05opportunity to buy long
- 28:08we have that
- 28:11there
- 28:13price rallies up to this point here and
- 28:15then comes all the way back down
- 28:18into what we have this down candle we
- 28:20could have kept that there and it would
- 28:22we would have missed any new opportunity
- 28:24but look what we have here this down
- 28:25candle has traded into that old order
- 28:27block as well so now we have a higher
- 28:30bullish order block right here because
- 28:32this candles open
- 28:35is higher than this candle so now we can
- 28:37refine that same level
- 28:39just up to a higher time frame or not a
- 28:41higher time frame but a
- 28:43higher order block
- 28:44so now we can refine our level to that
- 28:46point right there
- 28:48price moves away trades through this
- 28:52channel's high right here validating
- 28:53this is a bullish order block
- 28:56again we're going to be looking for a
- 28:57rally of
- 28:59two to three times the order blocks
- 29:01body's height
- 29:03so it has to trade about here here here
- 29:06so at this point here we have a valid
- 29:08swing so now we can look for a
- 29:10retracement back down
- 29:12this candle's opening
- 29:14is 95.85
- 29:17the low on this candle
- 29:21is
- 29:2295.87 so it's only two pips away from
- 29:24that
- 29:26the high on this candle
- 29:28is 95 86 so it still was only one pick
- 29:31away from that as well
- 29:33but we always add pips to our levels to
- 29:36get in to cover the dealing spread
- 29:40we also see another higher down
- 29:43candle that's higher than this one
- 29:47we have to move our level up to that new
- 29:51down candle
- 29:53every time it creates a new down candle
- 29:55that's going to be the new potential
- 29:57bullish order block
- 29:59price trades down into it here so
- 30:00there's another opportunity a buyer here
- 30:03so that's what we do from a higher time
- 30:05frame
- 30:06to a lower time frame we refine our
- 30:07entries and our levels with this in mind
- 30:13price makes a run through
- 30:16even after taking this
- 30:18level out here you can take partial
- 30:19profits out here
- 30:21okay take a little bit more profits out
- 30:24at an old
- 30:25weekly high here remember we're looking
- 30:26for weekly high stake profit set
- 30:28and then leave a little bit on
- 30:31and when price comes back down we can
- 30:32now add back on the positions we took
- 30:35off here
- 30:36and here
- 30:37add them here
- 30:38as new longs
- 30:40and as price rallies through to external
- 30:43range liquidity which is this high here
- 30:46entering it internal range liquidity at
- 30:48this bullish order block here
- 30:50the range again
- 31:02about 310 pips
- 31:06just to get first profit here okay
- 31:09and then you're going to look for an
- 31:11expansion to continue to take out this
- 31:13high here and this high here for what
- 31:15external range liquidity what's going to
- 31:17be above these highs buy stops so you're
- 31:19going to be looking to sell to those
- 31:21participants that would have an interest
- 31:23of buying about
- 31:24above these highs
- 31:27refining it further into a daily time
- 31:29frame
- 31:31you can see all these levels get much
- 31:32more refined
- 31:37you can see the reactions about these
- 31:39levels again and now because these are
- 31:41weekly levels we can see the reaction at
- 31:43them on a daily basis
- 31:48the levels are treated back down into
- 31:50here publish order block
- 31:52the weekly level that we transpose over
- 31:54here onto a daily we can see that this
- 31:58down candle two down candles in a row
- 32:01on any time frame you have to blend them
- 32:02together to get one full
- 32:05order block in this case it's two down
- 32:07candles as one full
- 32:09bullish order block
- 32:11so we can refine that here use the wicks
- 32:14and the bodies to look for that as well
- 32:16but we're going to focus primarily on
- 32:17the open on the candle you see it hits
- 32:20it here this is all during the election
- 32:22which i personally was on the sidelines
- 32:23it did not do any trading
- 32:25and then
- 32:26recently we had this down candle we
- 32:29talked about prior to this week's
- 32:32trading the week ending december
- 32:3516
- 32:372016 in a pre-market analysis i told you
- 32:40to focus on
- 32:42this down candle
- 32:44prior to
- 32:46this big move up i said that we would
- 32:47look for the mean threshold of this down
- 32:49candle
- 32:50why
- 32:51because i didn't think we're going to
- 32:52get down to this down candle what
- 32:53necessary because i viewed this as a run
- 32:55on stops which we'll talk about in the
- 32:57next teaching
- 32:59but
- 33:00we traded right back down into the
- 33:01middle point of this down candle
- 33:04or mean threshold and then we expected
- 33:06to see what happened external range
- 33:08liquidity above this high
- 33:10and then continue higher reaching into
- 33:12the higher time frame levels we're
- 33:14looking for
- 33:15103 103 50 and then 104 is next
- 33:19ultimately 105 107 still in the cards
- 33:21for dollar index long term so you can
- 33:24see
- 33:25how dynamic working from the monthly
- 33:28levels to the weekly levels refining
- 33:30them
- 33:31waiting for confirmation that there is a
- 33:33displacement by smart money and then
- 33:35simply waiting for those levels to be
- 33:37retraded down into and you can refine
- 33:39these as as
- 33:41small as you want by going into as low
- 33:43as a five minute chart if you want the
- 33:45ultra really really low risk
- 33:47entry and small stops
- 33:49but you're looking for the direction
- 33:50from the monthly the weekly and the
- 33:52daily to get you a directional bias and
- 33:54only focusing on those higher time frame
- 33:56directions
- 33:58those order blocks are the ones that you
- 33:59buy those order blocks also
- 34:03will keep you from taking focus on the
- 34:06bearish order blocks because while
- 34:07bearish order blocks
- 34:09or the last up candle rate for the down
- 34:11moves that you see in price
- 34:12those are good objectives to take
- 34:14profits at
- 34:16okay
- 34:17if you hit a bearish order block during
- 34:19a time of day when profit taking should
- 34:20take place
- 34:21guess what you may not get that run
- 34:23above an old high
- 34:25you may end up having to take profits at
- 34:27that very shorter block and then wait
- 34:29for asia
- 34:30and frankfurt and then london to retrace
- 34:34a little bit and then drive through and
- 34:36then you'll see that run on a new higher
- 34:38high
- 34:39for capturing external range liquidity
- 34:43so there's a lot of factors that you
- 34:44have to keep in mind but this teaching
- 34:47was to focus your attention more on only
- 34:50getting on the
- 34:51long bullish order blocks when the
- 34:53monthly and the weekly in the daily show
- 34:56you clear indications of the markets
- 34:57being accumulated
- 34:59and only using bearish order blocks okay
- 35:01to take profits one time of day
- 35:04is an impact but if time of day is not
- 35:07in uh in effect
- 35:09you don't even consider the bearish
- 35:10order block you might expect them to
- 35:12pause and consolidate there but you're
- 35:14looking for them
- 35:15to drive price through an old high to
- 35:17absorb external range liquidity because
- 35:20they're going to look to take profits at
- 35:21a higher price not just at an old high
- 35:24or inside of an old high they're going
- 35:26to try to build a premium in and expand
- 35:28that range because it's going to draw in
- 35:30more participation more excitement in
- 35:32the form of the funds and that's what
- 35:33this business is all about drawing
- 35:36allocations from large institutional
- 35:38traders that trade
- 35:39managed funds and
- 35:41larger
- 35:42position holders
- 35:44so with that guys i wish you good luck
- 35:46and good trading
