Trading GBPUSD | Judas Swing Strategy 05/06/2024 At 8:25 AM EST, we got to our trading desk and started the day doing the basics on our Judas Swing strategy checklist which includes:
- Making sure the timezone is set to New York time
- Making sure we're on the 5 min timeframe
- Marking the trading period from 00:00 - 08:30
- Marking the high and low of the zone
We then waited for liquidity to be taken on either side of our trading zone, which will give us our directional bias for the trading session. Liquidity was taken at the highs after 15 minutes, signaling our focus would be on identifying potential selling opportunities.
Precisely at 10:00, there was a significant bearish shift in GBPUSD that broke the structure, creating an FVG in the process. Keep in mind that high-impact news for the USD occurred at 8:15 and 10:00 EST, which can influence price movements.
We then waited for price to retrace, filling or touching the created Fair Value Gap (FVG), and only executed our trade once the candle that touched or entered the FVG had closed.
After executing the trade, price initially moved against us to fill part of the FVG left behind, it later moved slightly in our direction. However, it took a turn towards our stop loss. Despite this, we maintained confidence in our strategy, given its extensive backtesting, which has demonstrated a win rate of 52% on GBPUSD trades.
Accepting the calculated risk of 1% of our account for the possibility of a 2% return, the closeness of the price to our stop loss did not shake us, and we kept our faith in the strategy. We anticipated an average position duration of 6 hours and 35 minutes, which could extend to 2x longer for the trade.
We waited patiently, but our persistence did not yield results this time, resulting in a 1% loss in our trading account. It's important to note that we were on a winning streak for a few weeks and it's normal to have losing trades; no strategy guarantees a 100% win rate. However, with proper risk management and a favorable risk-reward ratio, the potential for profit can outweigh the losses.

YM countertrend short from -M OHLC maanipulation!Beautiful example of algorithmic precision! Tapped -M D OHLC manipulation to the tick and then news spooled price to 1/3 ADR & +M D OHLC maanipulation (opposing manipulation where we also got opportunity go long!) This repeats every single week.
OHLC manipulation + ADR really often stop the "Judas Swing" alias fake move against orderflow
and tends to reverse there! then we can target opposing manipulation or another ADR!

BTCUSDT - Market Analysis (ICT Concepts)Hi everyone,
Here is a quick analysis on Bitcoin using predominantly the Monthly and Daily chart for my analysis.
We see a reaction from a Monthly Bisi with price moving higher. On the Daily timeframe for a closer look, we see that there is a Premium Sibi and a Discount Bisi. So we may see some back and forth movement between the two. But, I will be looking for where the Daily candle(s) close in the Premium Sibi, either inside/below it, or above it. This will likely determine my next course of action. I provide further analysis in the video so do check it out.

NAS100USD: Potential Buy Opportunity for NY SessionGreetings, Traders!
Brief Description🖊️:
Currently, institutional order flow on US100 is bullish, therefore we are looking for price to take sell stops in order for a turtle soup trade condition (false break).
Things I Have Seen👀:
Bullish Institutional Order Flow📈: Anticipating price to continue to the upside after sell stops have been taken. Smart money will look to order pair (buy against the sell-side liquidity).
Potential Sell Stops🔄: Price may take sell stops before buying, presenting a turtle soup condition (false break of structure). After sell stops have been taken, I will look to take a confirmation entry.
Bullish Targets📉:
Daily FVG: The primary target.
M15 Bearish Order Block: The secondary objective, with an expectation to fill the liquidity void there.
What's Important Now❗
Stay observant for price action around these key levels to confirm bullish continuation.
Best Regards,

MARKET STRUCTURE USING SMART MONEY CONCEPT (ICT)The market structure, when viewed through the lens of the smart money concept, refers to the way financial markets operate and how price movements are influenced by institutional investors, or "smart money." These entities, such as banks, hedge funds, and large financial institutions, have significant capital and access to superior information, allowing them to impact market prices and trends. The smart money concept suggests that these institutions leave discernible footprints on price charts, which can be identified through patterns like accumulation and distribution, liquidity hunts, and manipulation of key support and resistance levels. Traders who understand and recognize these patterns can potentially align their strategies with the smart money, improving their chances of making profitable trades by following the sophisticated moves of these influential market participants.

ORDER BLOCK AND FAIR VALUE GAP SMART MONEY CONCEPT**Order Block**:
An order block is a specific price area on a financial chart where institutional traders have placed large buy or sell orders. These areas often lead to significant price movements and are used by traders to identify potential zones of support or resistance. Order blocks represent clusters of orders from big players like banks or hedge funds, signaling where major buying or selling interest lies. When price revisits these zones, it often reacts strongly, making them valuable for predicting price reversals or continuations.
**Fair Value Gap**:
A fair value gap (FVG) is a price range on a chart where there is an imbalance between buyers and sellers, often created during periods of high volatility or news events. This gap typically occurs when the market moves so quickly that trades do not fully fill, leaving a visible gap on the chart. Traders use fair value gaps to anticipate potential price retracements to these levels, as the market tends to revisit and fill these gaps over time, aligning price with its perceived fair value.
Both concepts are crucial in technical analysis for identifying key price levels where significant market activity is likely to occur.
