- 0:00what the [ __ ] is up guys episode one of
- 0:02ICT for dummies can someone please make
- 0:05us an intro email it to us it goes
- 0:08welcome for ICT for Dum one more welcome
- 0:13to ICT for dummies teach you how to make
- 0:17money oh if someone can make an edit for
- 0:21that so we can have an intro that'd be
- 0:22fire
- 0:24anyways yeah this isn't necessarily ICT
- 0:26it's pretty foundational we need to
- 0:28start off with foundational stuff like
- 0:29handle we're assuming you've never in
- 0:31your life traded you don't know anything
- 0:33we're starting from Rock Bottom so let's
- 0:36get into it this is probably what you're
- 0:38seeing if you're getting on the charts
- 0:40for the first time bunch of red a bunch
- 0:41of green bright colors you're like a
- 0:44[ __ ] this is what the average
- 0:46unprofitable Trader sees as you make
- 0:48money the colors get more dull yeah why
- 0:53are they called candlesticks so they're
- 0:55called candlesticks because they're made
- 0:56of bodies and Wicks Wicks tell you where
- 0:59the CLE was and the body show you where
- 1:01it closed okay guys we decided to make
- 1:03some illustrations for you guys which is
- 1:05just going to show you an even more
- 1:07simplified manner of these different
- 1:09candlesticks this is a very bullish
- 1:11candle this is a very bearish candle how
- 1:14can you tell you can clearly see that
- 1:15there's a lot of buying power in this
- 1:17candle because there's a wick at the
- 1:19bottom and then a body closure a strong
- 1:22body closure to the upside there's not a
- 1:24wick at the top this represents a high
- 1:27buying power candle same for the bearish
- 1:30candle there's a lot of selling power
- 1:32here right we have that Wick at the top
- 1:34but there's a strong body closure to the
- 1:36downside these are just basic things
- 1:38that are going to be subconscious you're
- 1:40not going to think about this eventually
- 1:41you'll understand what a strong bullish
- 1:43candle it's displacing through price is
- 1:45going to look like and a strong bearish
- 1:46candle is displacing through price is
- 1:47going to look like but to give you a
- 1:49general sense of everything if we look
- 1:51at these five candles we have on the
- 1:52screen your average bearish candle is
- 1:54all the way to the left then right next
- 1:56to it is your average bullish candle
- 1:58next you have a dogee candle eventually
- 2:00I mean we can get a bit into it but
- 2:02dogee candles can be a potential
- 2:03indication of a reversal in price
- 2:05however I wouldn't be too worried about
- 2:07that we're going to teach you what's
- 2:08really important and for now we just
- 2:09want to establish a strong Foundation
- 2:11since you're not going to be pattern
- 2:12trading or any [ __ ] you're going to
- 2:13be learning ICT like a [ __ ] real man
- 2:16um we'll teach you exactly what you need
- 2:17to know this is the daily time frame on
- 2:20the NASDAQ every single Candlestick here
- 2:23represents one day worth of price action
- 2:26okay so this was today's price action
- 2:28Friday November 15 when we are recording
- 2:30this video this was yesterday's price
- 2:32action Thursday November 14th and so on
- 2:35and so on and so on as you can see today
- 2:38we were incredibly bearish right big red
- 2:42candle bearish day on Wednesday very
- 2:48bullish was this election day very
- 2:50bullish price is clearly and visibly
- 2:53delivering higher which can be
- 2:55represented through a large green candle
- 2:58so every single time frame I have above
- 3:00we have the 1 minute we have the 2
- 3:01minute 3 minute 4 minute 5 minute and it
- 3:03goes up to the Daily right so this is
- 3:05the daily again now Patrick can we go on
- 3:08the one hour yes Blake so now we have
- 3:11the hourly chart each candle here is
- 3:12going to represent one hour of price
- 3:14action as you can see we have 400 p.m.
- 3:16here we have 300 p.m. 2: p.m. 1 p.m. 12:
- 3:20p.m. 11:00 a.m. 10: a.m. you get the
- 3:23point this is 1 hour of price action 15
- 3:26minute for example break it down for us
- 3:28Blake so on the 15-minute time frame
- 3:30what does this represent 445 what about
- 3:3215 minutes before that 430 this
- 3:35represents another 15 minutes of price
- 3:37action so you can keep going lower and
- 3:39lower and lower in time frames you can
- 3:41keep going higher and higher and higher
- 3:42in time frames up until the monthly they
- 3:44even have the yearly on here and there's
- 3:46also seconds charts so we're now going
- 3:48to go into what these candles actually
- 3:50represent on the chart here is a quick
- 3:53example of how you will be switching
- 3:55between time frames once you become as
- 3:57profitable as us
- 4:00yeah he's he he's super fast he
- 4:02basically full boxes just did the whole
- 4:04analysis on the entire day within 3
- 4:05seconds so this is a singular 15minute
- 4:08candle what this candle is going to
- 4:10represent is 15 minutes worth of price
- 4:12action so when we go down to the lower
- 4:13time frames we can actually see every
- 4:15candle that is formed inside of this
- 4:17range right and you can see we marked
- 4:19the top of it with a line the bottom of
- 4:21it with a line right there's two lines
- 4:22to show you there that as you switch
- 4:23through these time frames the lines are
- 4:24going to remain there but you're going
- 4:25to see how the lower time frames look
- 4:27inside of this 50-minute so this is a
- 4:2915-minute we can go down to the 5 minute
- 4:31which should be what three candles quick
- 4:34maths those are the 5minute candles that
- 4:36created that 15minute candle you can go
- 4:38to the one minute now and so there's
- 4:39going to be what how many 15 candles so
- 4:42there's 15 candles 15 candles that make
- 4:45up this 15minute candle this same idea
- 4:48is going to apply for the hourly right
- 4:50how many 15-minute candles are going to
- 4:51be inside the hourly there's going to be
- 4:53four right that's what makes up an hour
- 4:55so you can play around with that as well
- 4:56I recommend you do do that it's going to
- 4:58give you just a
- 5:00you it's going to give you a good sense
- 5:02of time and um
- 5:07yeah okay I'm ready now okay why don't
- 5:09we talk about DN candles what is that
- 5:13these
- 5:14nuts don't include that please I'm going
- 5:16to lose so much more to include that
- 5:18this is a weak candle and then this is a
- 5:20strong candle this is a weak candle and
- 5:22this is a strong candle why am I saying
- 5:24this though because this bearish candle
- 5:26here shows that price has rejected and
- 5:29area here now we're not going to get
- 5:31into pdas and all that stuff at this
- 5:33time but we can assume that from this
- 5:36reaction here because price at some
- 5:38point traded all the way down here right
- 5:40so at some point we were you thought
- 5:42this sh was dumping into the floor right
- 5:45but then we rejected an area here and
- 5:48the candle actually closes all the way
- 5:50up here so from this you can assume that
- 5:52price has rejected somewhere and we are
- 5:54going to trade higher we're not pattern
- 5:56trading these candles guys we're going
- 5:57to use them with narrative and other
- 5:59confluences which we're going to teach
- 6:00you later in the series and you're going
- 6:01to be able to put together everything
- 6:02like a goddamn Lego so this is a strong
- 6:05bearish candle this is showing a lot and
- 6:08a lot of selling pressure right the
- 6:10candle has traded all the way here and
- 6:12we didn't reject anything in this area
- 6:14and we closed here and with zero Wicks
- 6:18this shows that price is most likely
- 6:20going to continue lower same applies to
- 6:22the bullish scenario here get on the
- 6:24[ __ ] Mouse and and mark it out then
- 6:27guys we have the same but for the
- 6:28bullish scenario so as you can see this
- 6:30is a weak bullish candle at one point
- 6:33this candle was absolutely skyrocketing
- 6:36up all right we were [ __ ] going to
- 6:37Mars big Drake
- 6:39candle comes back down doesn't close
- 6:42that strong after all that's an
- 6:43indication of a weak bullish candle we
- 6:46saw that it traded higher here but then
- 6:47it started rejecting something among
- 6:50this level so it ended up closing down
- 6:52here and not being that bullish after
- 6:53all this is a strong strong bullish
- 6:56candle big Power big Power you can see
- 6:59displac high lots of volume right the
- 7:02Wicks are not taking up the majority of
- 7:05the candle like this one there is a lot
- 7:07of volume here and that's going to be a
- 7:09pretty good indication that price wants
- 7:11to run higher so if we go right here
- 7:13right what are we looking at very
- 7:15bullish candle very bullish candle look
- 7:17at how much of this candle is made up of
- 7:19the body you can clearly see it's very
- 7:22bullish look at how much of this candle
- 7:24is made up of the body you can clearly
- 7:25see it is very bearish but that's not
- 7:28going to be the only indicator you can
- 7:30use to determine if price wants to go up
- 7:32or down we're going to teach you more in
- 7:34depth other things you're going to
- 7:35combine to really put together those
- 7:37narratives but I mean just look at this
- 7:39right bullish structure strong bullish
- 7:41candles what starts happening up here oh
- 7:44more Wick it starts dying out and then
- 7:47we get that big bearish candle and then
- 7:49we get more bearish candle and then look
- 7:51at the candles also before price
- 7:53reverses look at this right price is
- 7:55dumping lots of power lots of power what
- 7:58happens here do
- 8:00okay not to say that every time you see
- 8:01a dogee price will reverse but it's
- 8:03still something for you to look out to
- 8:05because you can see that the pressure is
- 8:07dying you can see that there is less
- 8:09volume in the market right now as sells
- 8:11are stopping and so you get these dois
- 8:14and then what happens buying power
- 8:15increases bullish candles start and yeah
- 8:18guys really spend some time just
- 8:20analyzing price like screen time is the
- 8:23most important time in trading when
- 8:24you're first starting out um you got you
- 8:27got to be schizophrenic about it you got
- 8:28to be crazy you really just got to spend
- 8:30time in the charts become one with them
- 8:33and yeah let's talk about something a
- 8:35little bit cooler now so this is your
- 8:38open high low close and your open low
- 8:41high close this looks very intimidating
- 8:43but I promise you guys it is not is what
- 8:45a bearish candle looks like a red candle
- 8:48this red candle here represents price
- 8:51has opened here it has traded higher and
- 8:54then it trades lower and it closes here
- 8:57so now just to implement some time
- 8:59increments so let's say from 150 to 2
- 9:01p.m. price is just sort of trading
- 9:03sideways and at 2 p.m. you know we trade
- 9:05up this this is this this move right
- 9:06here is going to be from 2: p.m. to 250
- 9:08p.m. and so we just started dumping from
- 9:112: to 250 and at 250 to 3 p.m. 3 p.m. we
- 9:14close down here right so nothing to over
- 9:17complicate here but this is just going
- 9:18to end up being a bearish candle so you
- 9:20understand right let's say you were
- 9:21looking at the charts at 150 and then by
- 9:24250 you see that we're trading down here
- 9:26you're probably going to see a big red
- 9:28bearish candle for the 2 pm candle um
- 9:31you're not probably you're going to see
- 9:33if it opens there and it closes there
- 9:34you're going to see yeah you're going to
- 9:36see whatever [ __ ] you Blake so in simple
- 9:39terms guys the Open high low close what
- 9:42does this all represent this is your
- 9:44opening price for a bearish candle we're
- 9:45going to have an open at the high and it
- 9:48goes higher meaning this is the extreme
- 9:50of price this is the highest point in
- 9:53which price traded to but it's not going
- 9:56to close there right we then trade lower
- 9:59and then this is the lowest point that
- 10:01price traded to but it didn't close
- 10:03there we then trade higher to close this
- 10:06candle and this is a bearish candle
- 10:08because we closed below the opening
- 10:10price versus a bullish candle this is a
- 10:13bullish candle because we closed above
- 10:16the opening Price Right In A bullish
- 10:18candle and a green scenario and a green
- 10:20candle we have an open at the bottom we
- 10:22then have a low that has formed and this
- 10:24is the lowest point in which price has
- 10:26traded to and then we have a high and
- 10:28then we have a close
- 10:30and because this close happened above
- 10:32the opening price this is a green candle
- 10:35so just remember that if the candle
- 10:37closes below opening price then it's
- 10:39going to be a red candle dance for me
- 10:41while I do this
- 10:44P okay you can sit down okay yeah I'll
- 10:46stop perfect so this dogee candle is
- 10:48going to show a lot of consolidation
- 10:49because price didn't really move a lot
- 10:51here as you can see here this is the
- 10:53open right just like we talked about
- 10:55this is the low so this is the extreme
- 10:57the lowest that price has gone in this
- 10:5915minute candle range and then this is
- 11:01the high this is the highest point that
- 11:03price has gone in this 15-minute candle
- 11:05range from 12:15 right and if we go down
- 11:07to the lower time frame like the 1
- 11:09minute time frame so from 12:15 all the
- 11:11way to 12:30 this shows the 15 minutes
- 11:13worth of price action so this dogee
- 11:15candle is not going to show a lot of
- 11:17price movement right it's going to show
- 11:18a lot of accumulation for example here
- 11:21the opening price and the closing price
- 11:23is very close together as you can see
- 11:25here with the opening price here we
- 11:27traded higher and this is the extreme
- 11:28point this is going to be the wick and
- 11:30since price traded below the opening
- 11:32price and closed below the opening Price
- 11:34Right This was 1215 and then it closed
- 11:36at 1230 and since it closed below the
- 11:38opening price it is going to be a
- 11:40bearish candle as you can see though at
- 11:42the beginning of this 15minute chart uh
- 11:45we did trade lower and then we traded
- 11:47higher and so we made these extreme
- 11:48highs and this extreme low and then
- 11:50Price died out and started closing near
- 11:52the Middle with low volume but it still
- 11:54ended up closing below that opening
- 11:55price which means it's going to be a
- 11:57bearish dogee it's hard to notice really
- 11:59because it is a micro sort of close
- 12:02there but nonetheless it is still a
- 12:04dogee now something that's going to be
- 12:05easier to spot is going to be like the
- 12:07candle right after so here we have the
- 12:09dogee what happens right after boom we
- 12:12got that reversal this is a strong
- 12:14bearish Candle on the 50-minute chart
- 12:16and we're now going to mark this the
- 12:17same way so you can see what this looks
- 12:19like on the one minute so this is the
- 12:2015-minute time frame right it shows
- 12:22price from 1230 all the way to 12:45 so
- 12:25we can see here on the 1 minute time
- 12:26frame price has opened and this is the
- 12:29highest point that price has went in the
- 12:3215 minutes of this price action and this
- 12:34is the lowest point that price has went
- 12:36in this 15 minutes of price action and
- 12:38since price closed below the opening
- 12:41price at
- 12:421245 then it's going to be a bearish
- 12:45candle now let's get into a bullish
- 12:47example so this is a bullish Candle on
- 12:48the 15-minute time frame as you can see
- 12:50here prices opened we then created the
- 12:52extreme low we then created the extreme
- 12:54Wick and we closed above the opening
- 12:56price meaning it's going to be a bullish
- 12:57candle we can see here here on the lower
- 12:59time frame this is what happened we
- 13:02opened we traded lower and we created
- 13:04the extreme this is the lowest point
- 13:06that prices went at from 1:45 to 2 a.m.
- 13:09and then we created the extreme high
- 13:11this is the highest point that pric has
- 13:12went we didn't close there right but
- 13:14price reach that level and since we
- 13:16closed above the opening price this is
- 13:18going to be a green candle all right
- 13:20guys so that concludes our ICT for dummy
- 13:23episode one we teach you how to make
- 13:26money money I forgot I went does matter
