ICT Forex - Market Maker Series - Volume 2

Notes

  • This lesson focuses on the foundations of institutional order flow and understanding liquidity.
  • By analyzing weekly, daily, and hourly charts, traders can anticipate market movements and align their trades with institutional order flow.
  • Smooth and clean levels are likely to get swept by the market.
  • Traders place sell stop orders below the clean lows and buy stop orders above the clean highs. Institutions target these levels to trigger the orders to accumulate liquidity.
  • Areas with clustered stop orders act as magnets for price.
  • We should start our week by identifying likely draw on liquidity for the week.
  • If we are bullish, we expect upward movement every day until the nearest opposite liquidity pool is reached.
  • If we are bearish, we expect downward movement every day until the nearest opposite liquidity pool is reached.
  • If we are bullish, we look for buying opportunities on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
  • If we are bearish, we look for selling opportunities on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
