ICT
The core Inner Circle Trader concepts explained one at a time: liquidity, market structure, order blocks, fair value gaps, and session timing.
Timeframes
Using several charts together without contradicting yourself: direction, location, timing.
Liquidity
Why price moves toward clusters of stop orders, and how sweeps are identified.
Market Structure
Reading trend through highs and lows: break of structure and change of character.
Retracement
Telling a pullback apart from a reversal, and why entry depth decides the trade.
Optimal Trade Entry
Turning a retracement into a defined entry band, with the targets that follow from it.
Order Blocks
The last opposing candle before an impulsive move, and why price often returns to it.
Fair Value Gaps
Three-candle imbalances left behind by fast moves, and how they are used as entries.
IOFED
Joining a genuine breakout by entering on the gap it left behind.
Premium & Discount
Splitting a range in half to decide whether price is expensive or cheap.
CISD
Change in state of delivery: an earlier entry signal than a structural break.
Turtle Soup
Trading the breakout that fails, and the trapped orders that fuel the reversal.
Kill Zones
Session windows where volume concentrates, and why timing filters setups.
Power of Three
Accumulation, manipulation, distribution: a framework for reading a session.
Money Psychology
Recognize the emotional and behavioral biases that shape trading decisions.
