Order Block Theory - Institutional Trading Method

Hi, I was just lucky, nothing else. As we approach sellside HTF liquidity areas, this week could be interesting tomorrow or on Friday. Changing to S&P 500. I am also looking at this. As long as an order-block or a similar structure might be created ...

Order Block Theory - Institutional Trading Method

I am waiting a bit to see what happens with Monday's high within the next couple of hours or so, because there is some open interest above @ 1.37. But no matter what happens, I am also inclined to keep a bearish perspective on GU this week. Whether ...

I also think it is going to happen. Ideally it could do something like this as the most likely PA imo as long as the lowest low is respected. image Besides, see when institutions entered that caused a drop in price when volume reached the markets. ...

I would like to draw the attention of those new to ICT to one fact. Anything seen in classic trading theory is not applicable to nor compatible with ICT in general terms. Even when may occassionally share terminology, we mean completely different ...

Agree. 5% method. 95% man.

Method or Man?

Just the original setup I took this morning on GU. OTE over order-block. One does not need even to be extremely precise in the entries. It does not necessarily reflects how I traded it nor my exit level, just the initial setup and expected probable ...

The problem is being able to know it in advance. The main conflict I see between classic trading and markets is the fact that classic trading usually buys high and sells low. It is always the same story. That is why that flag was not tradable . ...

Just my trade today at London Open. This is the basic setup. An OTE over a breaker block. Two hours were needed to frame this setup and take it. Things are not as easy as obvious as they seem on hindsight. ICT requires years of study and practice. ...
