    A guide to how i trade per the:
    ICT Market Maker Buy/Sell Model
    +
    ICT 2022 YT Mentorship Model

    All credits go to ICT for aiding in development of this Trading Model. All concepts
    used here are based on concepts taught by ICT.
    The Market Maker Buy/Sell Model
    Price moves from:
    Consolidation -> Expansion -> HTF POI Sweep -> Smart Money Reversal
    (SMR) -> Return to the original consolidation
    Smart Money Reversal
    A Smart Money Reversal (SMR) can occur in 2 ways;
    - Liquidity Raid (Turtle Soup)
    - Failure Swing

    Directional Bias & Trading Framework


    Directional Bias is determined via the Draw on Liquidity (DOL)
    The DOL will be either:
    - An Liquidity Pool: Buy/Sell Side Liquidity
    - An Imbalance
    Directional Bias will be to take trades in the direction of the DOL.

    Weekly:
    - What is the market most likely to draw towards?
    - Is there an imbalance or liquidity pool?
    This sets the initial bias for the week.

    Daily:
    - Where are the liquidity pools price can seek?
    - The draw on liquidity for the most part is found on the Daily chart.

    Premium/Discount & Dealing Ranges
    If bias is bearish, we seek to enter shorts in the premium of the current
    trading range.
    If bias is bullish, we seek to enter longs in the discount of the current
    trading range.

    Dealing Ranges Notes - By @Fytte


    Fair Value Gaps
    FVGs are an area of liquidity. Price delivers to this area to pick up
    liquidity and distribute this liquidity to willing buyers/sellers
    above/below old highs/lows.

    The optimal FVG:


    1. Created after a run of buy/sell side liquidity
    2. In premium of the price leg that broke structure if bias is bearish or
    in discount of the price leg that broke structure if bias is bullish
    3. During NY/Asia/Euro Session
    Sessions
    Increasing correlation with BTC and TradFi markets recently means it
    makes more sense to trade 'Equity sessions'.
    Morning Session:
    8:30AM-12:00PM EST (UTC-New York on Tradingview)
    Afternoon Session:
    1:00PM - 4:30 PM EST (UTC-New York on Tradingview)

    NY Session Process

    1. Before 8:30AM mark out key highs/lows/for a stop hunt or FVGs.


    2. At/After 9:30AM open, wait for a raid of Liquidity (either FVG/Old
    highs/low) and a displacement above/below the liquidity pool.
    3. Entry at FVG targeting an opposing POI. Preferrable entry timeframe
    M1-M5.

    Refer to NY Session charts for examples.

    Timeframes
    1. Monthly -> Daily
    2. Weekly -> H4
    3. Daily -> M15/H1
    4. H4 -> M5/M15
    5. H1 -> M1-M5
    6. M15 -> M1-M5
    Process
    1. Establish Bias/Identify Draw on Liquidity
    2. High time frame (HTF) Draw on Liquidity is taken. Either or both:
    - Buy/Sell Side Liquidity Raid: HTF raid of old high/low
    3. Low Time Frame Entry:
    -Wait for Price to fall below the BSL/SSL/FVG level.
    - MMXM
    - SMR + MSB + Return to FVG

    4. Take Profit targets:


    -BSL/SSL resting above/below consolidation points along the MMXM
    curve
    -HTF Fair Value Gaps

    Tips
    Before the Daily/Weekly open, mark out previous day/week highs/lows,
    then wait on LTF for possible entries.

    If there are multiple FVGs within the price leg that broke structure, use
    the Fib tool to mark out the premium/discount of that price leg, and set
    orders in the FVGs close to the 0.5/equilibrium point.

    IWhen trading Altcoins, it helps to be in sync with BTC. If an altcoin


    breaks structure but BTC price action is indicating the opposite, i often
    wont take the altcoin trade. Your FVG/Orderblock entry on the altcoin
    has a low chance of holding if BTC is indicating a different bias.
