💎 1:30 Judas 💎:
-"At the last portion of the day if you are bearish you can
use the opening price at 1:30pm and use it the same way the
Midnight/8:30 open is used. It's all fractal"

-Draw the opening price of the 1:30pm candle. If you are


expecting lower prices you want to see a manipulation
move above the opening price.

🔹 AM session buy stops ran

We look for a Judas Swing at 1:30pm into a premium PD

🔹 Today that PD Array was a 1min FVG



Could not get fill in the FVG so entry on the VIB

Example 4 (ES 1min):
Lunch SSL swept and we had a MSS+Displacement (2022

DXY rejecting Daily OB means we should see higher

🔹 Unicorn setup provided entry at accumulation phase


We look for Judas Swing at 1:30pm into a discount PD
array (+OB offered entry at re-accumulation phase of the
MMBM)

Example 5 (NQ 5 min):
With the idea that price is drawing towards REL
(12457.25), we look for a Judas Swing at 1:30pm into a

💎 3PM Judas Swing 💎


-The same concept can be applied to the 3pm session as
well!
From my personal experience I don't see this one happen as
often or even act as reliable as the 1:30 Judas. For that
reason I don't have many examples.

Example (ES 1 min)


2023 Mentorship GEMS 💎

💎 New Week Opening Gap (NWOG) 💎


-The New Week Opening Gap is a strong price magnet 🧲
-Draw it out every week onto your charts
(Friday closing price to Sunday open price)
-The market is going to gravitate back to it IF we are NOT


TRENDING and many times become REAL
support/resistance

-You should have the last 4 NWOGs + the current week's


NWOG on your chart. So 5 in total. Have a separate template
for only NWOG.
-Doing so gives you an X-ray view of how the algorithm
will refer back to old areas of real FAIR VALUE
2023 Mentorship GEMS 💎

💎touches of NWOG means 💎


Understanding what multiple

-If we see price come back to the NWOG multiple times


intra week you are likely in a consolidation that's going to
continue

💎 Gaps that don't fill are rocket fuel


💎 
-This means price is in a hurry to reprice to a level that's
outside the range its in currently (External range liquidity)

-Every time we get in a trade we look for this signature 🚀


2023 Mentorship GEMS 💎
💎 Understanding

equilibrium of

-Highest probability shorts have been exhausted once


we move below equilibrium of DISCOUNT

💎
conditions💎
Understanding low probability

Key Lesson 📝:
If you have 2 equally probable outcomes you are trading in
low probability conditions and essentially gambling . Sit on
the sidelines and demand more information.

💎 New Day Opening Gap (NDOG) 💎


closing priceMentorship
to the 6pm GEMS
open 💎
- When we open at 6pm, drag a rectangle from the 5pm
2023
-Extend that throughout the next 12-16 hours. That will act
much like you see with the NWOG

Example of precision with NDOG:

💎Quarter of the wick💎


-When there is a bearish heavy stance on price, C.E of a
wick is likely not to be traded too.
-If you suspect that is the case, you get the very specific
price level of one quarter of the wick

💎
Buy stops💎
PM session running AM session

(ICT Livestream annotations)

-If you see a trending morning session like below, ask


yourself where are shorts trailing their stops?

-Expect the PM session to take those stops

💎 Market on close Macro 💎


-In a up close day rarely do you see the candle close on the
high unless its a trending day.
-Typically it creates the intraday HOD then pulls away from
it and closes near the high.

-This is the market on close Macro


2023 Mentorship GEMS 💎

💎3:15-3:45 Sweet Spot💎


Generally you will find between 3:15-3:45pm a sweet spot
to place a trade if we know where we are looking for
liquidity.

🔹Above the market place if bullish


🔹Below the market place if bearish
OR
🔹if there is an imbalance we will look to rebalance it
The algo will spool to a obvious point of liquidity that had
not been targeted yet
Example:
2023 Mentorship GEMS 💎

💎The Upper Quarter Concept💎


-If you believe that you have figured out where the low is in
the market for a particular price swing and you think its
gonna go up to an old high where BSL is, the equilibrium of
that run and below is where the best buy opportunities
occur.

-As soon as we get to the upper quarter of where the target


is, the market is not likely to go back for sell stops. This is
because price will be in a hurry to run out Buy stops in so
traders don't get the opportunity for those orders to be
pulled.

   💎 Regular Trading Hours (RTH) 💎


-When trading futures indices you need to also consider
how we closed the previous session and where we opened at
9:30 because that difference is a REAL Liquidity Void. We
call it the Opening range gap.
-Price has a tendency to not let these areas stay unfilled for
too long.

-At 9:30 open, every single day as an index futures trader


you are going to toggle RTH on and identify the Opening
Range Gap:
👉 We are opening up with a Premium if the gap is higher
than the previous session close

👉 We are opening up at a Discount if the gap is lower than


the previous session close

and RTH gap + Understanding opening at a
premium/discount of RTH:

💎When to conditions💎
expect Seek and Destroy

1) On the heels of any holiday that impacts normal trading


hours the very next trading session, the morning is likely to
be VERY low probability/choppy. The market is more prone
to seek and destroy conditions

(For example on Monday the market is closed due to a bank


holiday, expect a choppy AM session going into Tuesday)
-Let the market fall back to its normalcy

🎲
-Only retail traders are rushing to the markets on a day like
this like gamblers at a casino
2) Higher Time frame target is delivered prior to 9:30 am
open expect a choppy AM session

3) Asia High and Low are raided during the London session.
Then London High and Low are raided during NY creating a
broadening formation

💎 Event Horizon 💎
-Half way between a NWOG and the closest NWOG is the
Event Horizon

-It will not allow price to escape the draw to the NWOG and
it will create a surge towards the NWOG it got too “close” to
but yet reached

How far can you trust price to go above BSL or SSL for a Turtle
Soup?

👉NWOG
👉NDOG
👉Opening Range Gap
These are 3 specific tools you can use to answer this question✅

💎 NWOG Actual and NWOG 💎


NWOG Actual = Fridays close to Sundays Open

NWOG = Fridays close to Mondays Equities Open at 9:30am


(On a personal note I don't use NWOG from close to
Monday 9:30 open.  All I use is NWOG Actual and I think
that's more than enough)

💎 Macros 💎
-A macro is a window of time where the algorithm will seek
untapped liquidity or an imbalance. You can split your day
up into windows of time and only trade these macros!

-You can enter prior to the macro beginning.


-The run will originate inside the macro time but does not
have to complete it. It can still deliver after macro close

The NY session Macros (All NY eastern time):

9:50-10:10am (MY FAVORITE 💚)


10:50-11:10 am
11:50-12:10 pm (l never trade this one…)

1:30pm Judas
3:15-3:45 pm “Sweet Spot”

2023 Mentorship GEMS 💎

💎 10-11am 5 handle
💎 guaranteed FVG

Here's something to backtest 👀


-According to ICT, between 10-11am NY time you will find a
FVG that delivers 5 handles EVERY day 100% guaranteed
-It'll ALWAYS be there aiming for an opposing pool of
liquidity

-You will find it on the 1min, 30s, or 15s timeframe

-This is true even on choppy days and shortened bank


holidays where market closes early

This will be updated throughout the year. I


hope it helped!
