ICT Forex Price Action Lesson - Liquidity Purge & Revert

Notes

  • Liquidity pools:
    • Buy-side liquidity - It is located above old highs and relatively equal highs (double tops).
    • Sell-side liquidity - It is located below old lows and relatively equal lows (double bottoms).
  • Markets are manipulated with a rule-based structure.
  • When liquidity is purged, the market often reverts to the opposite liquidity pool.
  • The concept of a three-day range look back helps to identify daily highs and lows to determine significant liquidity pools.
  • Even though the purge phase may take more than one day, Michael still counts the first daily candle that removed liquidity as a day one candle.
  • Michael uses the term liquidity engineering to describe a situation in which an algorithm creates new highs and lows to build liquidity.
  • Understanding market manipulation and liquidity can dramatically improve trading decisions.
