Here is a detailed summary of the information from all the provided videos, encompassing key

concepts, strategies, and tips:

### 1. Advanced Market Structure Masterclass | ICT Concepts

This video introduces **ICT Advanced Market Structure**, contrasting the interbank method with
the retail method [1]. The retail method focuses on higher highs and higher lows, assuming
continuous trends, while the interbank method views the market as **liquidity** and **fair value
gaps (FVGs)**, seeking to rebalance FVGs and seek liquidity [1]. Understanding market
structure like an interbank trader helps avoid falling victim to false market structure breaks or
change of characters [2]. Instead of just higher highs and lower lows, ICT concepts utilize three
types of swings: **Long-term swings**, **Short-term swings**, and **Intermediate-term swings**,
with intermediate-term swings being the most crucial [1].

* **Long-Term Swings (High or Low)** [2]:

* Occur when price approaches a **resistance level** (Fair Value Gap, Order Block, or
sweep) and shows a **big, aggressive reaction**, moving to the other side [2].
* **Condition**: The high/low must be on a **higher timeframe**, typically the **Daily or
4-hour chart** [2].
* **Confirmation**: Marked by an aggressive movement leading to a **change of character
(CoC)** and **multiple breaker structures** [2, 3].
* **Narrative Shift**: A confirmed long-term swing (e.g., a long-term high) indicates a
necessary **change in bias** (e.g., from bullish to bearish), as it acts as a "shield" protecting
against price movement in the previous direction [2, 4, 5]. Large institutional liquidity is found on
these higher timeframes [2].

* **Short-Term Swings (High or Low)** [3]:

* Swing points that **always have liquidity above and below** them [3].
* They are **not rebalanced** by Fair Value Gaps [3, 6].
* **Scenario**: Price eventually takes **both buy-side and sell-side liquidity** associated
with these swings [6].
* **Purpose**: Used **only for entry**, not for narrative, framework, or overall structure [6].
Traders switch to lower timeframes for entry refinement using short-term swings [5, 6].
* **Turtle Soup/Liquidity Sweep**: Often involve a "turtle soup" pattern where price goes up,
creates a short-term high (without a FVG), comes down, creates a short-term low (FVG present
below, not mitigated), then goes up to take the short-term high after taking the short-term low [6,
7].

* **Intermediate-Term Swings (High or Low)** [7]:

* The **most important** type of swing [1, 7].
* **Formation (Two Ways)** [7]:
1. **Classic**: Two short-term lows/highs with an intermediate-term low/high in between.
Characterized by price making a retracement without a Fair Value Gap, then continuing in the
same direction, often breaking a swing high/low [7, 8].
 2. **Preferred (Fair Value Gap Rebalance)**: Price comes into a **Fair Value Gap and
reacts from it**, causing a **change of character (CoC)** or **break of market structure (BOS)**
[7]. This is often followed by a **swing failure**, where a subsequent swing fails to close
above/below the intermediate high/low before breaking structure in the new direction [4].
* **Purpose**: Provides the **framework and structure** of the market, indicating
valid/invalid areas and stop-loss placement [5].
* **Strong Change of Character**: An intermediate high that forms in a Fair Value Gap and
then breaks, signals a strong indication to switch bias, unlike typical CoCs which might be traps
[5, 9]. This strong CoC happens when price doesn't need to break below a specific low but
rather breaks above a point after reacting from an intermediate high in a FVG [9].

* **Putting it All Together (Perspectives)** [4, 5]:

* **Long-term perspective**: Gives the **narrative** or bias (e.g., confirmed long-term high =
switch to bearish) [4, 5].
* **Intermediate-term perspective**: Gives the **framework and structure**, determining
validity of areas and stop-loss placement [5].
* **Short-term perspective**: Gives the **entry point**, often by switching to a lower
timeframe for refinement and a better reward-to-risk ratio [5, 6].

### 2. Guaranteed Trade Every Single Day! | ICT Silver Bullet Trading Strategy

This video discusses the **ICT Silver Bullet trading strategy**, which ICT himself states can
offer a trade every single day [10].

* **Time Window**: The setup occurs specifically between **10 AM and 11 AM New York time
(GMT-4)** [10].
* **Timeframes**: It can work on the **1-minute, 30-second, and 15-second timeframes**, with
the video focusing on the 1-minute chart [10].
* **Strategy Steps** [10]:
1. **Liquidity Sweep**: Wait for price to **take either buy-side or sell-side liquidity** [10].
2. **Change of Character (CoC)**: After the liquidity sweep, wait for a **CoC** to confirm the
reversal [10].
3. **Entry**: Enter the trade on a **Fair Value Gap (FVG)**. Other entry types like Balance
Price Range or Breaker Block can be used, but FVG is preferred for this setup [10].
4. **Stop Loss**: Place the stop loss above/below the swing that caused the CoC [10].
5. **Target**: Target the next level of **liquidity** [10].
* **Indicator Recommendation**: The "FX Market Sessions by Oitoki" indicator is
recommended to mark the 10-11 AM New York session [10].
* **Key Observations from Backtesting** [10]:
* A **liquidity sweep is almost guaranteed** during this time period [10].
* A **valid change of character is not always guaranteed**; price may react aggressively,
and the CoC might appear on a different timeframe [10].
* Traders can use this time period (10-11 AM) and **implement their own setups** if desired
[10].
### 3. ICT Institutional Order Flow Simplified (Full Course)

This video provides an easy guide to identifying **bullish and bearish order flow** to understand
market direction [11]. It emphasizes that time is fractal, meaning order flow can be identified on
any timeframe [12]. The focus is on **extreme Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) and Order Blocks
(OBs)**, not those in the middle of the structure [13-16].

* **Bullish Order Flow Checklist** [14, 17-19]:

* **Multiple Breaker Structures (BOS) to the upside with displacement** [14]. Displacement
is key for differentiating liquidity sweep from BOS [19].
* Price **retraces down into bullish PD Arrays** (e.g., Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps) and
**respects them**, moving higher [17-19].
* Price **violates bearish PD Arrays** [18, 19].
* Price **retraces down to engineer liquidity** (short-term lows) that are later **swept**, then
**rejects higher** [17, 19].

* **Bearish Order Flow Checklist** [20, 21]:

* Price **retraces up into bearish PD Arrays** and **respects them**, moving lower [20, 21].
* Price **violates bullish PD Arrays** [21].
* Price **retraces up to engineer liquidity** (short-term highs) that are later **swept**, then
**rejects lower** [20, 21].
* Price creates **clear breaker structure with displacement to the downside** [20, 21].
* A sweep of a short-term high into an order block with displacement breaking structure is a
first sign of order flow changing [20].

* **Key Concepts** [17, 18, 21]:

* In bullish order flow, bullish PD Arrays are respected, and bearish PD Arrays are
disrespected.
* In bearish order flow, bearish PD Arrays are respected, and bullish PD Arrays are
disrespected.

### 4. Liquidity is ALL You Need in Trading!

This video highlights **liquidity** as the essential element in trading, acting as a **magnet** for
price action and the **fuel** of the market [22]. It differentiates between **external liquidity
(highs and lows)** and **internal liquidity (Fair Value Gaps)** [22].

Here are eight ways liquidity helps in trading [22]:

1. **Indicates Price Direction (Draw on Liquidity)**: Price moves from one liquidity level to
another (e.g., internal to external, or external to internal) [22, 23]. Any relative high or low can
act as a magnet [23].
2. **First Step for A+ Trades**: A **liquidity sweep is a prerequisite for high-probability setups**;
"no liquidity sweep, no trade" [23]. This prevents being trapped by false moves [23].
3. **Shows Which PD Arrays Will Be Respected**: A PD Array (especially FVGs or OBs) is
much **higher probability if it's created *after* a major liquidity sweep** [24, 25]. Without a prior
liquidity sweep, a PD Array is less likely to be respected [25].
4. **Identifies Manipulation PD Arrays**: If a liquidity sweep happens *after* the creation of a
PD Array, it often indicates a **manipulation PD Array** [26]. Price may react slightly, but will
eventually disrespect it, using the liquidity to push in the opposite direction [26, 27].
5. **Helps with Risk Management (Stop Loss and Take Profit)** [27, 28]:
* **Stop Loss**: Place below **strong lows** or above **strong highs** that are formed after
a liquidity sweep and a break of structure [27, 28]. Trailing stop loss can be moved to these
strong levels [27].
* **Take Profit**: Target high-probability liquidity pools, such as previous monthly or daily
highs/lows, where price is likely to reverse [28].
6. **Signals Trend Completion**: When price reaches a liquidity level and **fails to close
above/below** (only wicks), it often signals a reversal or at least a pullback [28, 29]. A closure,
on the other hand, indicates continuation [28].
7. **Identifies Valid Market Structure**: True strong lows and strong highs in market structure
are confirmed **after a liquidity sweep and a break of structure**, not just any high or low [29,
30].
8. **Reveals Low Resistance Conditions**: Trading in **low resistance conditions** allows price
to reach targets more easily [30]. High resistance conditions, characterized by strong highs/lows
(liquidity sweeps + BOS) and multiple unmitigated Fair Value Gaps, make it difficult for price to
move, often leading to consolidation or hitting stop losses [31]. Low resistance conditions often
involve failure swings and fewer unmitigated FVGs, allowing for rapid price movement [32].

### 5. Revealing My Favorite ICT Strategy With Checklist (Asian Liquidity Sweep)

This video details a favorite trading model, the **Asian Liquidity Sweep strategy**, which is a
high-probability setup [33].

* **Pair and Timeframe**: Focuses on **GBP/USD** (GU) on the **15-minute chart** for
structure, then lower timeframes for entry [33].
* **Asian Session**: Defined as **8 PM to midnight** (New York time) [33].
* **Checklist for the Asian Sweep Strategy** [33, 34]:
1. **Order Flow on Higher Timeframe**: Determine the overall market bias (bullish or
bearish) by looking at a higher timeframe (e.g., 4-hour, 1-hour). For example, if PD Arrays are
consistently holding price lower, the order flow is bearish [33].
2. **PD Array in Direction of Order Flow**: Identify a **Point of Interest (POI)** or Fair Value
Gap above the Asian high (for bearish order flow) or below the Asian low (for bullish order flow)
[33]. The higher probability is to take the high (or low) and then go with the order flow [33]. A
high-probability sweep occurs when price takes liquidity and enters a PD Array [34].
3. **Sweep of Asian High/Low into PD Array in Kill Zone with a Wick**: Look for price to
sweep the Asian high or low **only with a wick** (no body closure) into the identified PD Array
during the **London Kill Zone (2 AM onwards)** [34].
 4. **Entry on Lower Timeframe**: Switch to a lower timeframe (e.g., 1-minute, 3-minute, or
5-minute) [34, 35].
* **Main Entry**: The **first Fair Value Gap** that presents itself [34].
* **Other Options**: Wait for a **Change of Character (CoC)**, or a **Fair Value Gap
aligning with a Breaker Block** [34, 35].
* **Trade Management** [34, 36]:
* **Stop Loss**: Place just above/below the high/low of the entry candle or the aligned
breaker/FVG [34, 35].
* **Take Profit**: Aim for the **Asian low/high** as a partial target [34, 36]. If trading with the
order flow, profits can be extended beyond the Asian low/high [36, 37]. If against the order flow,
close the full position at the Asian high/low [35].
* **Extension of Asian Session**: If price moves significantly outside the Asian range
between midnight and 2 AM, the Asian session boundaries can be extended [36].
* **Confluence**: Blending this strategy with **daily bias** and **order flow** significantly
improves success [37].

### 6. The Ultimate ICT & SMC Trading Plan (Full Course For Beginners & Advanced)

This video presents a comprehensive **four-step trading plan** based on the three most
important ICT concepts: **Liquidity, Market Structure, and PD Arrays** [38, 39]. This plan is a
framework applicable to all ICT strategies [40, 41].

* **Three Core ICT Concepts** [38, 39]:

1. **Liquidity**: The most important concept, as nothing moves without it. PD Arrays are
essentially liquidity on lower timeframes [38].
2. **Market Structure**: Understanding Break of Structure (BOS), Market Structure Shift
(MSS), and Change in State Delivery (CSD) is crucial [38, 42].
3. **Time**: Understanding Kill Zones, weekly/daily profiles, and quarter theory (for
manipulation) [42].

* **Importance of Top-Down Analysis** [40, 41]:

* It's crucial for understanding the **context or framework** of the market [41].
* Avoids being trapped in **consolidation/ranging markets** [41, 43]. Price expands only
when it reaches a **higher timeframe Point of Interest (POI)** [43].
* Enables **high reward-to-risk trades** by catching large higher-timeframe moves with
precise lower-timeframe entries [43].

* **Timeframe Alignment** [44]:

* Uses **two or three timeframes** [44].
* Suggestions: Monthly -> Daily -> Hourly (for swing trades) or Weekly -> 4-hour ->
15-minute (common) or 4-hour -> 15-minute -> 1-minute (for scalping) [44].

* **Four-Step Trading Plan Protocol** [45, 46]:

1. **Framework (Higher Timeframe)** [45]:
 * Determine if the market is moving **external to internal** (taking a high, going to an
FVG) or **internal to external** (reacting off an FVG, targeting a high) [45].
* Identify the **Higher Timeframe POI**, the target, and the invalidation point (e.g.,
closure/displacement beyond an FVG or old high/low) [45].
* Establish a **bias** (e.g., bullish if reacting off a bullish POI) [47].
2. **Intermediate Timeframe Confirmation** [47, 48]:
* When price enters the Higher Timeframe POI (especially in Kill Zones), look for a
**liquidity sweep**, a **Market Structure Shift (MSS)**, and the **creation of an FVG** [48].
* Can also look for **SMT (Smart Money Technique)**, a crack in correlated pairs (e.g.,
EU and GU taking different lows) [48].
* **Two Entry Options at this Stage** [48]:
* **No Confirmation Entry**: Enter immediately based on the intermediate timeframe (2
timeframes used: higher and intermediate). Lower RR, but fewer missed trades [48].
* **Lower Timeframe Confirmation Entry**: Proceed to step 3 for a higher RR trade
[48].
3. **Entry Confirmation (Lower Timeframe)** [48, 49]:
* Various confirmation types can be used within the intermediate timeframe POI for
refined entries:
* **Change of State Delivery (CSD)**: Violating the last bullish/bearish candle, creating
an Order Block [49].
* **Market Structure Shift (MSS) and Fair Value Gap (FVG)**: The popular 2022
mentorship model [49].
* **MSS with Inducement** (Continuity Purge) [49].
* **Candle Continuity Theory** [49].
4. **Trade Management** [50]:
* **Stop Loss**: At the **invalidation point** (e.g., displacement below an FVG, swing
low/high for the setup) [50].
* **Partials and Break Even**: Take partial profits and move to break even at potential
reversal/retracement points (e.g., internal liquidity, 50% of the range) [50, 51].
* **Take Profit**: At the **completion of market maker's models** (external to internal /
internal to external moves) or at **high-probability liquidity pools** (e.g., previous monthly/daily
highs/lows) [50, 52].

### 7. The Ultimate ICT/SMC 1 Minute Liquidity Sweep Trading Strategy [Full In-Depth Guide]

This video teaches a **1-minute scalping strategy** centered on **liquidity sweeps**,

emphasizing simplicity and focus [53].

* **Core Concept**: Focus solely on **liquidity sweeps** [53].

* **Three Cases for Entry** [53, 54]:
1. **Wick Sweep (Favorite)**: Price sweeps a liquidity level with a **wick** (body does not
close beyond). Enter immediately at the closure of that candle [53].
 2. **Body Closure (Confirmation)**: If a candle closes with its **body below/above** the
liquidity level, wait for *another* candle to close back above/below that level for confirmation.
Enter from the closure of this confirming candle [54].
3. **Big Momentum Candle (FVG Entry)**: If the candle that sweeps liquidity is a very large
momentum candle, making the stop loss too big, wait for a **Fair Value Gap (FVG)** to form.
Enter at the **50% mark of the FVG**, place stop loss below, and target other liquidity [54].
* **Rules for Trading** [55]:
* Trade only in **Kill Zones**: **London Kill Zone (2 AM - 5 AM ET)** and **New York Kill
Zone (7 AM - 10 AM ET)**, as these have the most volume and expansion [55].
* **Trade Management**: If a position reaches **2R profit**, move the stop loss to
**break-even** and take **1R of profit** (50% of the profit) [55].
* **Customization**: While the core strategy is simple, it can be enhanced by incorporating
other ICT/SMC concepts like higher timeframe bias, PD Arrays, midnight open, Asian range,
breaker blocks, or balanced price ranges for a higher win rate [54, 56].

### 8. Ultimate ICT Order Block Strategy (Full Course)

This video provides a detailed **Order Block (OB) trading strategy** based on five years of
experience, emphasizing specific types and criteria for high-probability setups [57, 58].

* **Order Block Definition (Preferred)** [57, 59]:

* The **last bullish candle before an aggressive bearish move**, or the **last bearish candle
before an aggressive bullish move** [59]. Focus is on the last single candle, not consecutive
ones [59].
* OBs are typically found at **pullbacks** where the price direction switches [59].
* **Why Order Blocks Hold (Continuation vs. Rejection)** [60]:
* OBs hold because of the "continuation rule": a **closure above/below a candle's high/low
indicates continuation** in that direction [60]. The OB's creation (Change in State Delivery)
signifies this continuation, making subsequent candles likely to follow, especially when the OB is
respected [60].
* **High Probability Order Blocks (Criteria)** [61, 62]:
1. **Time**: Formed during **Kill Zones** (London: 2-5 AM ET, New York: 7-10 AM ET) [61].
2. **Liquidity Sweep / SMT (Smart Money Technique)**: A **liquidity sweep must happen
*prior* to the OB's creation** [61]. If there are failure swings without a liquidity sweep, an **SMT
(crack in correlated pairs)** is needed as a confluence [61]. Without these, it's likely an
inducement/trap [61].
3. **Valid Point of Interest (POI)**: The OB must be created **at another significant POI**
(e.g., another Order Block, a Fair Value Gap, or a Breaker Block) [61-63].
4. **Market Structure Alignment**: The OB must be **with the prevailing market structure and
trend** (i.e., after a Break of Structure in the direction of the OB) [62]. OBs against the structure
are typically invalid [62].
* **Two Types of Order Blocks to Trade** [58, 64]:
1. **Immediate Retest Type**:
 * Created in a minimum of **two candles** (e.g., bearish candle followed by an engulfing
bullish candle) [58].
* Entry is sought **only on the *next* candle** if it retests the **body of the Order Block**
[64]. The goal is to be part of the immediate displacement [64]. If not retested on the next
candle, it moves to the second type [64].
2. **Liquidity Engineering Type**:
* No immediate retest. The OB's creation (CSD) is followed by the creation of a **Fair
Value Gap** [64].
* Price then creates **liquidity around the OB** and later retests the OB, sweeping that
liquidity [64].
* The retest should occur **within approximately five candles** after the CSD (Change in
State Delivery) [65].
* **Entry Confirmation (Optional for Higher RR/Win Rate)** [65, 66]:
* **Lower Timeframe Change in State Delivery (CSD)**: Another OB creation on a lower
timeframe [66].
* **Lower Timeframe Fair Value Gap (FVG)**: FVG created as price touches the OB [66].
* **Lower Timeframe Market Structure Shift (MSS) + PD Array** (e.g., 2022 Mentorship
Model) [66].
* **Strength and Weakness of Candles**: Analyzing candle formations around the OB [66].
* **No Confirmation**: Place a **limit order at the body of the Order Block** [66].
* **Timeframe Alignment for Confirmation** [51, 66]:
* For a 4-hour OB, look for confirmation on the **15-minute timeframe** [51].
* For a 1-hour OB, look for confirmation on the **5-minute timeframe** [51].
* **Trade Management** [51, 52]:
* **Stop Loss**: Below the Order Block (if no confirmation) or below a strong high/low
formed by manipulation/mitigation on the lower timeframe [51].
* **Break Even**: At internal liquidity levels (FVGs) or at 50% of the range [51].
* **Take Profit**: At internal/external liquidity, or at the completion of Market Maker's models
(high-probability reversal points like previous monthly/daily highs/lows) [52].

### 9. Why Most ICT/SMC Traders Fail! | Liquidity & Inducement Secrets

This video explains how understanding **liquidity and inducement** is critical for selecting valid
Order Blocks and Fair Value Gaps, helping traders avoid common pitfalls [67].

* **Liquidity**:
* The **"fuel of the market,"** a zone with many buy/sell orders or stop losses [67].
* Price always **seeks liquidity**; traders should always **target liquidity, never *be* the
liquidity** [67].
* **Common Liquidity Patterns** [67, 68]:
* **Trend line liquidity**: Connecting two or more points, often where stop losses
accumulate above/below.
* **Equal lows/equal highs**: Levels where price has bounced off multiple times, creating
clear targets for liquidity sweeps (do not need to be exact) [67].
 * **Swing highs and swing lows**.
* **Decision highs and lows**: Such as Asian, London, and New York session highs/lows,
and previous day's high/low.

* **Inducement**:
* A **trap**: an Order Block (or other POI) that appears valid but is designed to trick traders
into entering, leading to losses [68].
* Liquidity takes you out of the market, while **inducement forces you to get into the market
to lose** [68].
* **Common Inducement Patterns** [69-71]:
1. **Intermediate Order Blocks after a Break of Structure (BOS)** [69]:
* When price creates a BOS, traders often identify the *last* Order Block before the
break as valid [69]. However, this is often an inducement.
* The **true, high-probability Order Block is the *extreme* unmitigated Order Block** in
that structure [69, 71, 72].
* Price may react slightly from the inducement, but will eventually continue to the
extreme OB to mitigate it [69, 71].
* **Exception**: An intermediate OB can be valid if it has already been **mitigated on a
lower timeframe** [69].
2. **Order Blocks with Prior Liquidity** [70]:
* If there is **any type of liquidity (e.g., equal lows)** present *before* the Break of
Structure occurs, then the Order Block formed at the lowest point of the pullback (even if it
appears "extreme" for that pullback) is **invalid and acts as an inducement** [70].
* Price will likely go deeper to mitigate a truly unmitigated Order Block [70].
* Example: An intermediate OB with liquidity below it is a trap; price will sweep that
liquidity and then react from the *real* extreme OB [72].
* **Key Principle**: Always aim for the **extreme unmitigated Order Block** and combine it
with Fair Value Gaps for higher probability setups [71, 72]. This provides a better risk-reward
ratio [71].
* **Practice**: Continuously identifying liquidity, inducement, and valid Order Blocks on charts
is essential for improving trading outcomes [73].
