    ICT Mentorship Core Content – Month 1 – Elements Of A Trade Setup

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LhteuLVuDU

    Summary:

    – This is the first of eight ICT mentorship tutorials (September 2016) on the “elements of a trade setup.” It teaches how to build a repeatable trading framework by combining market context with institutional order-flow tools.
    – Two primary concerns: (1) the market context/condition and (2) specific institutional reference points (tools) to apply in that context.
    – Four market conditions (only one applies at a time): expansion (impulse/trend), retracement (pullback), reversal (change of direction), and consolidation (range/equilibrium).
    – Four ICT order-flow tools tied to those conditions: order blocks (paired with expansion), fair value gaps / liquidity voids (retracements), liquidity pools / stop runs (reversals), and equilibrium (consolidation).
    – Markets are largely driven by interbank/algorithmic price delivery. Price starts in consolidation, then expands (impulse), then may retrace, reverse, or consolidate again. Each phase leaves “fingerprints” you can learn to read.
    – Practical rules: don’t chase price; identify the current condition, apply the matching tool (e.g., wait for price to return to an order block after an expansion), and wait for confirmation (impulse or retracement). Use simple aids like Fib midpoint to find equilibrium.
    – Learning path: study examples on historical charts, focus on mastering one characteristic first to develop consistency, and supplement this course with the free prerequisite tutorials (Market Maker series, Precision Trading Concepts, Sniper series).
    – Goal: provide a clear framework to anticipate price, select the right tool for the market condition, and build consistent trade setups through practice.

    2022 ICT Mentorship Episode 31

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYNpIeu9czw

    Summary:

    The video reviews an S&P 500 June 2022 daily/short-term trade centered on the May 16, 2022 low as a key liquidity/target area. The presenter warns viewers not to trust anyone messaging them privately (WhatsApp/Twitter DMs) or asking for money—those are scammers—and clarifies he will never direct-message or solicit funds.

    He explains his trading approach: he teaches where the market is likely to go (scout), but does not spoon-feed exact entries, stops, and exits. Traders must learn to execute using his concepts (fair value gaps, order blocks, swing highs, liquidity hunts) and manage their own orders. He notes he’s been focusing on index futures because they currently offer more volatility than forex, though he expects currency volatility to return within ~12 months.

    He then walks through his trade: he entered a short position around 4700.75 targeting the May 16 low, using a fair value gap/order-block setup and a bearish swing-high trigger. He took partial profit, trailed his stop as the move accelerated (sound risk management, not fear), and the trade ultimately reached the low of the day. He reiterates he won’t hand-hold traders and that the methods work if you study and apply them.

    Summary:

    – Video analyzes EUR/USD on the 15‑minute chart and previews a deeper lesson in the mentorship midweek review; updates and the naked chart are posted on the channel’s Community tab (use the notification bell).
    – Instruction to set charts to New York time (vertical day start at midnight NY) so lesson timing (New York session 8:30–11:00) aligns for all viewers.
    – Market context: consolidation/range after Monday’s high, with multiple equal lows/highs—trade the range until a clear displacement occurs rather than chasing breakouts.
    – Key concepts used: order blocks (bearish and bullish), mean threshold (mid‑body), mitigation blocks, buy/sell‑side liquidity and “judas” swings. The trader emphasizes trading price logic/algorithmic repricing to order blocks rather than relying on FIBs.
    – Trade recap (5‑min detail): went short into a bearish order block at the last up‑close candle after a failed retest of the swing high; targeted sell‑side liquidity below recent lows. Scaled off ~80% of the position when a short‑term high was taken out and trailed the remainder to ~1.1820.
    – Outlook: still favors a run toward prior equal highs and the 1.1850 area for liquidity. Emphasis on starting small, managing risk, and not letting money size drive poor decisions.
