ICT Forex - Market Maker Primer Course - Target Selection & Profit Objectives

Notes

  • In this lesson, Michael shows how to use the Fibonacci tool to identify the area that will become our weekly target.
  • The Fibonacci tool is applied to multiple price swings to plot extensions.
  • The extensions that overlap the most form our weekly target.
  • For levels to be considered overlapping, they should be at most 10 to 15 pips apart.
  • Michael recommends applying the Fibonacci retracement tool from the lowest body open or close to the highest body open or closed. This approach is more reliable as the highs and lows of the candles may vary from broker to broker.
  • Michael likes to exit before reaching his weekly target.
  • Previous price action should also be taken into account when setting a weekly target.

What time frame should I prefer for selecting the weekly target?
For example, if I use the weekly time frame itself, this results in an enormous pip target that is not practical for observing the trend per week.
By using the Fibonacci extension?

Michael uses a 30-minute time frame in the example. However, I think an hour is also fine.

Can you give me a practical example of a photo that I would have difficulty finding in the Charts

Setting weekly targets is really not complicated. Michael is just looking for Fibonacci extensions that overlap. The time frame doesn’t really matter.

The screenshots shown here accurately illustrate this idea.

If you don’t understand this concept, watch the video several times.
