2024 ICT Mentorship - How To Identify High Resistance Liquidity Conditions: September 27

Notes

  • If we expect a TGIF setup and it doesn’t happen, the price will usually retrace on Monday.
  • The size of the retracement is typically 20 to 30% of the weekly range.
  • High Resistance Liquidity Run conditions are more likely to occur when the Opening Range Gap is less than 75 handles (points).
  • Trading in the HRLR environment requires sufficient experience.
  • If the price spends too much time in inefficiencies (FVG, BPR,…) or returns to them frequently, it is a sign of an HRLR environment.
  • During Low Resistance Liquidity Run conditions, the price moves smoothly without prolonged consolidations inside inefficiencies.
  • A partially filled FVG (inefficiencies) indicates that the algorithm wants to take out liquidity in the opposite direction.
  • If we are bullish and the price gets into a bullish FVG, we want to see the lower half not completely filled.
  • If we are bearish and the price gets into a bearish FVG, we want to see the upper half not completely filled.
  • If we enter a position inside the FVG during HRLR conditions, our stop loss should be at a distance twice the width of the FVG.
  • Michael believes that the loss of PD arrays’ precision during HRLR conditions results from manual intervention in the algorithm.
  • Low Resistance Liquidity Run markets are purely driven by AI (the algorithm).
  • We have to reduce our risk when the market is in HRLR mode.
  • Recognizing HRLR and LRLR conditions in real time is the key to effective trading.
  • Michael recommends classifying each trading day in our journal.
