This was perfect. I've been trading for three years. One year just with signals (Twitter), one year with educational content and some trades, and the past year focused on education and then trading everyday for the last few months. These concepts drastically improved my trading and it seems that everything is now coming together! I appreciate you 🤛
The problem of "being your own signal" in a stochastic game is that you are subjected to false positive and false negative errors, and it won't be obvious to you that this is the case. It gets even worse if you're trying to achieve the wrong goal without knowing it.

00:00 📊 The video provides an overview of ICT trading concepts, focusing on swing points, liquidity, and their role in trading. 02:05 📈 Swing points, including swing highs and swing lows, play a crucial role in identifying buy-side and sell-side liquidity levels. 05:44 🏁 Understanding discount and premium zones within a price range can help traders identify optimal trade entries for long and short positions. 07:35 🔄 The concept of optimal trade entry (OT) involves using Fibonacci retracement zones to enter trades within the discount zone for long positions and premium zone for short positions. 10:25 💡 The video introduces the idea of fair value gaps, which are three-candle patterns with gaps between the first and third candle shadows, offering support and resistance levels. 23:21 📈 When the price breaks and closes above the previous day's high, it generates a bullish bias for the next day. 23:48 📉 If the price breaks and closes below the previous day's low, it results in a bearish bias for the next day. 25:55 📈 Breaking the previous day's low and failing to close below it generates a bullish bias for the next day. 26:23 📉 If the price reaches the previous day's low and closes below it, it creates a new bearish bias for the next day. 29:51 📊 These concepts can also be applied to intraday charts, allowing you to frame trades in lower time frames.

Amazing way to highlight key takeaways, it's a shame that ICT concepts don't work by themselves and we can simply use support and resistance and still be profitable lol it's all in the discretion and experience in front of the markets
@@fractalflowpro I am profitable. I scalp futures like NQ and NASDAQ. I only read price action and I do way better than when I was using concepts from a guy that can't even grow a demo account and then blames the algorythm he calls "enigma" that is supposedly targeting his trades so people can't see how great of a trader he is. Like C'mon, that guy has dementia or something
I agree with you. ICT makes a lot of ridiculous claims. "His" concepts work because they are a new outlook for things that existed for a long time in technical analysis. Back to the other issue, I can tell you don't know how to define what "profitable" is, but I'm going to help you. The goal of trading is not to be "profitable". It's to outperform the market on a risk-adjusted basis in the long term (more than three years). You can be "profitable" without achieving that goal at the same time, and in that case, all the effort you've put into trading is not worth the opportunity cost despite the profitability.
Great basic description of this method. Yes there are many more intricate nuisances, but by just understanding these concepts and applying discipline and money management to them you can be very successful.
Wow! In just 5 mins I understand so much more than watch 100 of hours of other ppl trying to sell me their course or a discount code for a prop firm. The claim voice helps a lot. Great job
Wow, where have you been all this time? The manner in which you simplified this concept is amazing! I've been attempting to grasp these ideas ever since I first heard of them. I was disheartened because they seemed too complex, but you've explained them with such clarity and skill. Fantastic job! Thank you so much. You've definitely earned a lifelong subscriber!
Thank you! Because of this video I now understand ICT concept more and I am more consistent with my trades!!! I finally understand the bias of the day and I can plan my trades accordingly!
Thank you so much! Your channel is awesome full of so much value. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos and I wish a very prosperous life and your family.
ok, this video is amazing! Thanks so much for explaining ICT in simple, coherent way - I wish I had found this before slogging through ICT's own videos. Honestly, this is the best I've found, job well done! And the explanation of daily bias was superb.
You did way better than the ICT founder! Great work. I hope you extend this series to another video covering potential entry models. Thank you very much!
Thank you so much for breaking down the ict concept in detail for a beginner like me, I have been into this ict concept for almost 6 month now, but still yet i get it difficult to understand it, each time I look the ict video and I go into my chart I became more confused and frustrated, until I come in contact with your ict concept video in yo TH-cam channel,after looking the video I see things differently
Say goodbye to the rollercoaster of trading and hello to the stability of compounding with NoahSwap. My investments are steadily growing, and I'm loving it. #NoahSwap #Crypto"
You simplified it... Wow. You explain it in so simple way that all new comer can UNDERSTAND it so easily. It was not mess, very precise and sweet presentation like a story......
I've learned something new from this video. I've been looking at the charts for over 2 years but I didn't learn some of the concepts I've learned today. Thanks
U complied it very nice however, me myself, I rather stick to FFS, MMS,NTS ! I studied ICT for 3 months and I found myself doing very mechanical things and taking a lot of losses. Definitely recommend all Fractal Flow Strategies based on science and nobel prized winning giants.
Of course! I'm not recommending ICT's method. I'm just showing what it is to attract new people. Good old technical analysis, which is what I teach, will never go out of fashion.
Nicely explained...I already understand the concept very well...but thought I'd listen to you...ict founder goes full on nerd with it, he goes into so much detail in which some things can be cut or condensed..
Very informative. I had been looking for a summary of the ICT concept for a while now and this came up. I still prefer our fractal flow 'concepts' to this. At least, like you mentioned in this video, the 'daily bias' could be considered for incorporation into F.F price action reading.
Believe me, I prefer fractal flow as well. I'm just capitalizing on the current hype about ICT, which will eventually fade away. In the next videos, I will make a counterpoint between ICT and fractal flow. That will be very interesting.
I stumbled with this great video plenty of valuable information just by luck. Really appreciate your time and effort to share this information. God bless you.
Hello just wanted to I am offering mentorship for 20$ I have been trading for 6 years now and have developed my own strategy which is really unique. once you see it your going to laugh hahaa but it is amazing nothing crazy it makes around 40% to 60% which is realistic
@@fractalflowpro I think you need 10 000 hours in front of the monitor to be successful. Before that, maybe it will be lucky if you manage to make money from trading
You need a lot of theoretical knowledge from the great masters who already have spent thousands of hours in front of the computer, and then you need to incorporate that in your own practice. Simply looking at the price charts will require multiple lifes to figure out what other people have already discovered.
@@fractalflowpro Yes, I didn't express myself correctly. The environment is very important. I only learned to trade from one person who shared what he thought about the market and the charts. Theory in my opinion is only 20% important, 30% backtesting and 50% stiff nerves.
If you're planning on covering more ICT concepts, please give us your take on: - Market Maker Buy/Sell Models (and their fractal nature i.e., buy/sell models within buy/sell models from HTF down to LTF charts). - How the Andrew's Pitchfork can be combined with the market maker buy/sell model. -Projecting range expansions with standard deviations. Thank You, Don.
@@TheSkulsum69I’m just a humble student of ICT and Fractal Flow. I’ve not earned any right to guide others with TH-cam videos just yet. Long road still ahead. But thanks for the confidence boost 🤝
Don, for the MMxM, you can draw your fork from the original consolidation. Often this is the CBDR or Asian Range for the daily. Then, set your fork up with warning lines. 10-20 will do. Watch as price passes through them. You will have instantly predicted all of the FVGs and IOFED entries that ICT would use during those trades. Also, if you watch for ICTs macros at the top of each hour, you will be able to identify the best pendulum forks to catch the reversals. Try it and let me know how you get on.
great help, tried out the OTE and Swing high swing low method just now while watching 8 minutes in on EUR/USD 4 hr backtest, was in profit, I think this will be my main strategy.
@@Heisnxthan It's not a good attitude for the trader profession to be discouraged by random internet comments. Lower your expectations and trust the process, whether it takes you 2 or 10 years to take this job with the seriousness it deserves. The results will appear on their own.
I know he calls it concepts, but it's really not his concepts, just his terminology and trading style. Most of it is a glorified version of standard price action and technical analysis. Good summary, though!
Haters gona hate! Potatoes gna potate! Reality is that everything on earth existed before anyone of us came to know about it.... But heroes are those that take their time to learn stuff and teach it to the rest of us. Einstein didn't invent E=mc2.... He learnt all facets related to it and put it together then taught us. And we will forever be grateful. I wonder why someone would go out of his way to learn all his concepts just to try and discredit his work? Are you Vini eMinis satanic child? 😂
It is normal to think that when you still didn’t dive in the concepts. Understand it takes more than a year, so many people give up in the firs 2 or 3 months and say “ it is just rename stuff “ 😂 I’m so sorry for all of them

Amazing way to highlight key takeaways, it's a shame that ICT concepts don't work by themselves and we can simply use support and resistance and still be profitable lol it's all in the discretion and experience in front of the markets
I'm sure you can't even define what "profitable" is precisely, and yet you are sure of how to do it.
@@fractalflowpro I am profitable. I scalp futures like NQ and NASDAQ. I only read price action and I do way better than when I was using concepts from a guy that can't even grow a demo account and then blames the algorythm he calls "enigma" that is supposedly targeting his trades so people can't see how great of a trader he is. Like C'mon, that guy has dementia or something
I agree with you. ICT makes a lot of ridiculous claims. "His" concepts work because they are a new outlook for things that existed for a long time in technical analysis. Back to the other issue, I can tell you don't know how to define what "profitable" is, but I'm going to help you. The goal of trading is not to be "profitable". It's to outperform the market on a risk-adjusted basis in the long term (more than three years). You can be "profitable" without achieving that goal at the same time, and in that case, all the effort you've put into trading is not worth the opportunity cost despite the profitability.
Your Presentation is very useful for me, I finally understand daily bias Thanks a lot
Great basic description of this method. Yes there are many more intricate nuisances, but by just understanding these concepts and applying discipline and money management to them you can be very successful.
Wow! In just 5 mins I understand so much more than watch 100 of hours of other ppl trying to sell me their course or a discount code for a prop firm. The claim voice helps a lot. Great job
Fantastic, we’ll done and to the point. Great presentation too. Thank you.
This course is one of the best, I recommend for every trader. 👍👍👍
The best summary ever
Thanks man! Really appreciate the video. How you broke everything down was just incredibly! Keep up the good work! :D
Thank you so much for your clean and details ICT basic concept. It helps me a lot on understanding such as Daily Bias , OB .
Wow, where have you been all this time? The manner in which you simplified this concept is amazing! I've been attempting to grasp these ideas ever since I first heard of them. I was disheartened because they seemed too complex, but you've explained them with such clarity and skill. Fantastic job! Thank you so much. You've definitely earned a lifelong subscriber!
I've been here for five and a half years actually haha.
🤣@@fractalflowpro
I was taking notes. This really helps. I heard about this strategy but I don't understand others explaining it.
Please we need more lessons on ICT concepts , I like how clear you are explaining
Dude, these are basics concepts which you can find everywhere. This stuff is not ICT, lol.
@@Moedowwhere I can get the real ICT knowledge ?
Please help
@@savitadavane956from the places ICT stole them
Thank you! Because of this video I now understand ICT concept more and I am more consistent with my trades!!! I finally understand the bias of the day and I can plan my trades accordingly!
BRO, AM VERY THANKFUL FOR MAKING VERY SIMPLE WITH DEFINITION OF ALL THE WORDS, SUCH BEAUTIFUL VIDEO. THANKS A LOT ❤.
I'm glad you liked it.
Much needed simplify explanation. Thank you very much for the value you've created.
Wow ! What a fantastic video !!
I watched it twice so far. I feel ill go back here from time to time to refresh these concept.
Thanks
This is an excellent succinct class in basic ICT strategies
Thank you so much, I now understand the daily bias very well.
This is the best all in one ICT concept video I have seen 💥💥💥
Thank you so much! Your channel is awesome full of so much value. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos and I wish a very prosperous life and your family.
Thank you!
ok, this video is amazing! Thanks so much for explaining ICT in simple, coherent way - I wish I had found this before slogging through ICT's own videos. Honestly, this is the best I've found, job well done! And the explanation of daily bias was superb.
Thank you for making this video giving a short but very informative explanation on the core ICT concepts.
Very well structured.
It was very helpful.
i have never seen better video than this on you tube 🙌👍
You did way better than the ICT founder! Great work. I hope you extend this series to another video covering potential entry models. Thank you very much!
He rambles too much. I can certaintly create videos like that if people want to!
@@fractalflowproplease do that sir
I will make a video about various "entry models" next I believe.
@@fractalflowpro That would be amazing! Thank you very much for taking our suggestions into consideration.
That would be awesome man@@fractalflowpro
Thank you so much for breaking down the ict concept in detail for a beginner like me, I have been into this ict concept for almost 6 month now, but still yet i get it difficult to understand it, each time I look the ict video and I go into my chart I became more confused and frustrated, until I come in contact with your ict concept video in yo TH-cam channel,after looking the video I see things differently
Excellent explanation and demonstration! Looking forward to learn from your experience on other concepts and models 💎
Thank you so much for summarizing these concepts, much easier to understand for beginner ICT leaners!
Great content as usual from this channel!
Say goodbye to the rollercoaster of trading and hello to the stability of compounding with NoahSwap. My investments are steadily growing, and I'm loving it. #NoahSwap #Crypto"
Thank you very much for sharing this awesome concept! As a trader, I found it incredibly valuable.
You simplified it... Wow.
You explain it in so simple way that all new comer can UNDERSTAND it so easily. It was not mess, very precise and sweet presentation like a story......
I've learned something new from this video. I've been looking at the charts for over 2 years but I didn't learn some of the concepts I've learned today. Thanks
U complied it very nice however, me myself, I rather stick to FFS, MMS,NTS ! I studied ICT for 3 months and I found myself doing very mechanical things and taking a lot of losses. Definitely recommend all Fractal Flow Strategies based on science and nobel prized winning giants.
Of course! I'm not recommending ICT's method. I'm just showing what it is to attract new people. Good old technical analysis, which is what I teach, will never go out of fashion.
@@fractalflowpro that's right, i will bet my life on a fractal bar!
Nicely explained...I already understand the concept very well...but thought I'd listen to you...ict founder goes full on nerd with it, he goes into so much detail in which some things can be cut or condensed..
Very informative. I had been looking for a summary of the ICT concept for a while now and this came up. I still prefer our fractal flow 'concepts' to this. At least, like you mentioned in this video, the 'daily bias' could be considered for incorporation into F.F price action reading.
Believe me, I prefer fractal flow as well. I'm just capitalizing on the current hype about ICT, which will eventually fade away. In the next videos, I will make a counterpoint between ICT and fractal flow. That will be very interesting.
@@fractalflowpro yeah i do think that ICT is quite dangerous in my oponion because it doesn't follow the trend.
I stumbled with this great video plenty of valuable information just by luck. Really appreciate your time and effort to share this information. God bless you.
You just simplified ICT strategy to the bear minimum.. Great Job buddy.
One of the best videos I’ve seen about trading! Thank you so much!!
Really great job Ed. Hope you explore ICT more. I do understand some of the material is a bit difficult to "endure"
Hello just wanted to I am offering mentorship for 20$ I have been trading for 6 years now and have developed my own strategy which is really unique. once you see it your going to laugh hahaa but it is amazing nothing crazy it makes around 40% to 60% which is realistic
Thank you so much for your summary of ICT strategy! Really appreciate it!
No trading guru can make you a profitable trader.
But your attitude, mindset, and perseverance will.
Which is what a lot of trading gurus say.
@@fractalflowpro I think you need 10 000 hours in front of the monitor to be successful. Before that, maybe it will be lucky if you manage to make money from trading
You need a lot of theoretical knowledge from the great masters who already have spent thousands of hours in front of the computer, and then you need to incorporate that in your own practice. Simply looking at the price charts will require multiple lifes to figure out what other people have already discovered.
@@fractalflowpro Yes, I didn't express myself correctly. The environment is very important. I only learned to trade from one person who shared what he thought about the market and the charts. Theory in my opinion is only 20% important, 30% backtesting and 50% stiff nerves.
simple and straight to the point. Good job
Really useful, simple graphic, good content... Thank you!
Thanks
Thank you, it makes very clear the ICT Foundation in just 30 minutes LOVE IT ❤❤❤
Love this❤ Thanks for taking the time to break down these concepts. God Bless:)
Excellent explanation on how to read the daily bias, thank you!
If you're planning on covering more ICT concepts, please give us your take on:
- Market Maker Buy/Sell Models (and their fractal nature i.e., buy/sell models within buy/sell models from HTF down to LTF charts).
- How the Andrew's Pitchfork can be combined with the market maker buy/sell model.
-Projecting range expansions with standard deviations.
Thank You, Don.
Ok
Honestly don with that essay type of a question you need to start your own yt channel and u should. I support you and I’ll subscribe.
@@TheSkulsum69I’m just a humble student of ICT and Fractal Flow. I’ve not earned any right to guide others with TH-cam videos just yet. Long road still ahead. But thanks for the confidence boost 🤝
Way to advanced... Ict channel. Last video
Don, for the MMxM, you can draw your fork from the original consolidation. Often this is the CBDR or Asian Range for the daily. Then, set your fork up with warning lines. 10-20 will do. Watch as price passes through them. You will have instantly predicted all of the FVGs and IOFED entries that ICT would use during those trades. Also, if you watch for ICTs macros at the top of each hour, you will be able to identify the best pendulum forks to catch the reversals. Try it and let me know how you get on.
Your video was able to clear almost all possible aspect of candle reading.
Not even close. There is a lot more to see.
Appreciate it, hoping for more videos about ICT and SMC (thank you)
Ok
great help, tried out the OTE and Swing high swing low method just now while watching 8 minutes in on EUR/USD 4 hr backtest, was in profit, I think this will be my main strategy.
Any update on using this strategy?
@@Cloud_TNT i have 100 billion dollars and i have donated 50 billion to eradicating the poor
@@cix9420😂
I am thinking newbies are watching this bait so this is for you, you need minimum 2 years for understanding this watching live price action.
How many years did you take ?
Just keep looking at the charts, choose one or two pair and your eyes will be trained to notice price action
The fact it took you two years doesn't mean it will take others that much time stop discouraging people
@@Heisnxthan It's not a good attitude for the trader profession to be discouraged by random internet comments. Lower your expectations and trust the process, whether it takes you 2 or 10 years to take this job with the seriousness it deserves. The results will appear on their own.
Crybaby mad because he paid money when all the knowledge is on the internet and even better explained
Thank you so much for this valuable explanation, presented in a clear and step-by-step manner.
I know he calls it concepts, but it's really not his concepts, just his terminology and trading style. Most of it is a glorified version of standard price action and technical analysis. Good summary, though!
I agree 100%!
Yeah he just took what already existed and changed the name
Haters gona hate!
Potatoes gna potate!
Reality is that everything on earth existed before anyone of us came to know about it....
But heroes are those that take their time to learn stuff and teach it to the rest of us.
Einstein didn't invent E=mc2.... He learnt all facets related to it and put it together then taught us. And we will forever be grateful.
I wonder why someone would go out of his way to learn all his concepts just to try and discredit his work? Are you Vini eMinis satanic child? 😂
It is normal to think that when you still didn’t dive in the concepts.
Understand it takes more than a year, so many people give up in the firs 2 or 3 months and say “ it is just rename stuff “ 😂
I’m so sorry for all of them
What's the real
Oh finally you make the video and as I expected an other perfect video great job brother you are a professor
Thanks!
