3. 0:09how's it going everyone this video is
4. 0:12going to be over my a plus ICT entry
5. 0:14checklist once I have a daily bias or
6. 0:16Direction I will use this checklist to
7. 0:18make sure all requirements are met
8. 0:20before I take an entry let's take a look
9. 0:22into the checklist and then we will go
10. 0:24into some examples with this checklist I
11. 0:26focus on a few things we'll go through
12. 0:28them in order the first thing I focus on
13. 0:30is a stop raid this just means that a
14. 0:32low was put in before it was rated or
15. 0:35broken the next thing I look for is a
16. 0:37market structure shift or displacement
17. 0:40this means that a previous high was
18. 0:42broken and aggressively moved over the
19. 0:45next thing I look for is where there is
20. 0:46a little bit flexibility I generally
21. 0:49like to see price move back into a
22. 0:51discount of this price range here the
23. 0:53next thing I look for is some sort of PD
24. 0:55array where generally I prefer to have a
25. 0:58fair value gut
26. 1:00or an order block
27. 1:02but I will also use an OTE in this area
28. 1:05as well as a breaker block
29. 1:09I know this got a little bit messy so
30. 1:11let me expand it out and show each
31. 1:13different one each one of these Concepts
32. 1:15could be used as an entry model by
33. 1:17themselves however I like to blend one
34. 1:19two or three of these Concepts together
35. 1:21for my personal strategy for example I
36. 1:24will look for a fair value Gap in an
37. 1:26optimal trade entry or I'll look for the
38. 1:28box set up in an optimal trade entry
39. 1:31there are many different ways to blend
40. 1:32these Concepts I just do what catches my
41. 1:35eye the most let's get into some
42. 1:36examples where I will show each one of
43. 1:39these individually or Blended together
44. 1:41for this first example we are going to
45. 1:43look at NASDAQ on the 15 minute chart
46. 1:45and watch the price action as we reach
47. 1:47this daily fair value Gap fill below so
48. 1:50as we let this play out the first thing
49. 1:52we want to notice is that we have sell
50. 1:54side liquidity resting right here
51. 1:57as price moves into that level
52. 2:00you can see we get a nice reaction out
53. 2:03of it however have we shifted structure
54. 2:05yet no
55. 2:06with this next candle we have shifted
56. 2:09structure so we have that sell side
57. 2:11liquidity or stop rate our shift in
58. 2:14structure now I'm going to be looking
59. 2:16for an entry model so going through each
60. 2:18concept individually the first one we
61. 2:21have is discount and premium so ideally
62. 2:23with this displacement range I'm not
63. 2:26looking too long Above This 0.5 I'd want
64. 2:29to be longing this green section down
65. 2:31here taking that one step further by
66. 2:34using an OTE I can see that this is our
67. 2:37premium up here where I do not want to
68. 2:39be longing and this Narrows down my
69. 2:42discount range to my OTE right in here
70. 2:44the next thing I could look for is a
71. 2:47fair value gap which we have a very
72. 2:49small one right here as well as an order
73. 2:52block which would be this down close
74. 2:55candle right here and then breaker block
75. 2:57would be these up close candles here
76. 3:00before the raid on liquidity and lastly
77. 3:03for the Box setup I would be looking for
78. 3:06price to reach into this area here as
79. 3:09you can see all these Concepts presented
80. 3:11themselves how do I choose where I take
81. 3:13an entry and this comes down to risk to
82. 3:15reward in what catches my eye I know
83. 3:17that as I move my entry closer to my
84. 3:19stop loss my risk to reward increases
85. 3:21however the further I go there is also
86. 3:24the possibility that I do not get filled
87. 3:26on this trade so what I try to do is
88. 3:28find a balance between risk to reward
89. 3:30what catches my eye and just getting
90. 3:33into the trade so if I was looking at
91. 3:35this trade what would I do the first
92. 3:37thing I would do is Mark out my OTE and
93. 3:40then I am searching for a PD array
94. 3:42around this area what do I see in here I
95. 3:45have a fair value Gap and this is nested
96. 3:48within this order block here this also
97. 3:50lines up with the Box setup so for my
98. 3:54entry I would personally be looking to
99. 3:57enter the trade right here
100. 4:00My Stop on this low
101. 4:02first partial here and then looking for
102. 4:05buy side liquidity up here so letting
103. 4:08this play out
104. 4:12that would be my partial and then
105. 4:14depending on if I move my stop to break
106. 4:16even it would have hit by side liquidity
107. 4:19here for this next example I'm looking
108. 4:21at this range here we're at night
109. 4:23premium of that as well as a premium of
110. 4:26this placement range back down and we
111. 4:29have all these equal lows resting below
112. 4:31so let's dive into here so here we are
113. 4:33on the five minute chart and if you want
114. 4:35to pause and see what you see go ahead
115. 4:37and do that
116. 4:38first thing I notice is we have our buy
117. 4:41side liquidity resting here that we were
118. 4:43taking we have a move up there in an
119. 4:46aggressive move off of that so if we're
120. 4:48looking at this structure we have a high
121. 4:51low higher high so what I notice here is
122. 4:54this breaker block the next thing I
123. 4:56notice is what is within that breaker
124. 4:58block and we have a fair value Gap
125. 5:01resting right here
126. 5:04so what I'd like to see is price return
127. 5:06to this breaker block and at the most
128. 5:08into this fair value Gap so looking at
129. 5:11it if I was just going to take the
130. 5:13breaker block entry it would look
131. 5:15something like this
132. 5:17however if I was going to narrow that
133. 5:19down to the fair value Gap it would look
134. 5:21something like this
135. 5:23letting this play out
136. 5:28and if I was too partial and reach for
137. 5:31those lows I talked about earlier it
138. 5:33would look something like this
139. 5:37and you can see we go and reach those
140. 5:39lows
141. 5:40and just to review the checklist we have
142. 5:42a stop right here in Market structure
143. 5:45shift here a return to a premium with PD
144. 5:48arrays before moving away for the next
145. 5:50example we are going to be looking at es
146. 5:52on the one minute chart if you notice we
147. 5:55have a high rusting right here
148. 6:02you can see we break this High we close
149. 6:05back in and currently the body is
150. 6:07respecting this level
151. 6:11here is our stop raid
152. 6:14here is our shift and structure what am
153. 6:16I looking for now I'm looking for a PD
154. 6:18array in an OTE or in a premium
155. 6:23whenever this low is put in
156. 6:25if that is our low going to Mark out the
157. 6:28FIB and what do I have in this area
158. 6:30right here well I have a breaker block
159. 6:33and a fair value Gap so letting this
160. 6:36play out
161. 6:37price reaches up fills that fair value
162. 6:40Gap
163. 6:41reaches up into an OTE
164. 6:44before continuing lower and my risk
165. 6:47would look something like this
166. 6:51now if we go to the five minute and look
167. 6:53at the exact same example it is the same
168. 6:55setup but looks a little bit different
169. 6:57so if you notice here we have this high
170. 7:00or this high
171. 7:01that was rated by the move up we get an
172. 7:04aggressive displacement down this is our
173. 7:07fifth instructor and then marking out
174. 7:09our OTE we reach back up into an OTE
175. 7:11what PD array do we have in this area
176. 7:14well we have an order block right here
177. 7:16and with that my entry would be on this
178. 7:18order block
179. 7:19targeting a new low and my stop on the
180. 7:22order block High
181. 7:23for this next example we have NASDAQ on
182. 7:25the one minute chart if you notice we
183. 7:28did go a tick below this low but I do
184. 7:30not count that personally
185. 7:32but what happens we get this placement
186. 7:34up does this meet my criteria no I
187. 7:37prefer to have a stop rate prior to the
188. 7:40displacement so I am not counting this
189. 7:43as a displacement move up
190. 7:47see price tends to be supporting there
191. 7:50then it drops lower so I'm working out
192. 7:52this low now
193. 7:55what happens
194. 7:58we get a move below this range and then
195. 8:01back into the range so aggress it down
196. 8:03aggressive up this is the deviation from
197. 8:05the range and so accumulation
198. 8:08manipulation I want to see distribution
199. 8:12so ideally I'm looking for a retest of
200. 8:15this manipulation
201. 8:18to then be reaching for the other side
202. 8:20here
203. 8:22before going higher so let's see what
204. 8:24happens
205. 8:28if you notice how these candles are not
206. 8:30closing below this old blow
207. 8:35there we go you move higher take
208. 8:37partials and let's see what happens we
209. 8:39have all this liquidity resting above
210. 8:44and there we go and although we did not
211. 8:46shift structure prior to this entry this
212. 8:48is a box setup entry and I wanted to
213. 8:51throw it in here just to show that
214. 8:53without a lower time frame liquidity
215. 8:55rate prior to a move I am not interested
216. 8:57in it for this last example I'm going to
217. 9:00go from the daily down to the five
218. 9:01minute so if you notice here the point
219. 9:03of interest is this volume imbalance on
220. 9:05ES going down to the hourly chart we can
221. 9:08see that there was a stop right here a
222. 9:10displacement move up
223. 9:13marking out that displacement move with
224. 9:15a fib
225. 9:16we are now reaching back into an
226. 9:19equilibrium on the hourly going down to
227. 9:21the 15 minute chart here's that
228. 9:22equilibrium here is sell side liquidity
229. 9:24let's see what happens
230. 9:27get an aggressive move Below sell side
231. 9:30into the point of Interest
232. 9:33and we get displacement back up if you
233. 9:35notice we do have a fair value Gap right
234. 9:37here however does that meet all my
235. 9:39criteria it does not because it is in a
236. 9:42premium of the range so from here I will
237. 9:45go down to the five minute I'm going to
238. 9:47get rid of the point of Interest so we
239. 9:48can see better we have a fair value Gap
240. 9:50right here
241. 9:52and if we get rid of the area that is in
242. 9:54a premium looks like this
243. 9:57and from here we have order block fair
244. 9:59value Gap
245. 10:01so I would be looking to enter here
246. 10:03putting my stop on this order block low
247. 10:06partial or move my stop to break even
248. 10:08your target the initial highs from the
249. 10:12morning
250. 10:14and from there let runners run so
251. 10:16letting this play out
252. 10:19there's the entry gets respected
253. 10:22and then we displace higher
254. 10:26just to review everything and look for a
255. 10:28stop grade a shift in structure a return
256. 10:31to equilibrium or OTE some sort of PD
257. 10:34array that catches my eye and then
258. 10:37manage my risk in order to have solid
259. 10:40wrist reward
