Paul, your explanations are outstandingly clear, your videos are always really well organised and as a beginner I really appreciate your professionalism. Thank you ... I always seem to get my "the penny dropped " moments as I watch your videos
I can't help but thanking you Paul! Great jobs and keep on doing it. Your videos help me checking my ICT understanding. You have a gift of making complicated concepts easier to get. God bless you Paul and meet all your life goals.
Thanks for the great content Paul. Working my way through Michael's ICT channel content I find is quite daunting - you really help explain some of his content in an approachable manner. Please keep it up. Kudos also for crediting the original work.
Paul, cant thank you enough for this video, ....been struggling to understand ICT ...You are a great teacher...! May God bless you on this journey🙏! Keep the videos coming!
This was the missing piece to this puzzle for me. My back testing rate is about 68% already, but this should be a game changer as my entries and exits or always in doubt.
Hi Thearith - pretty sure that these are correct. I don't cover the additional detail in the video but also one of the pre-requisites is that the swing high or swing low that is broken is before the lquidity grab. Happy to hear what you think isn't correct though! Always good to get other opinions 😊
Thanks for this great video. I have a question about the "break in market structure" concept. Should BMS happen exactly on the swing which also created the FVG? Or can it happen after FVG is established? Let's say a bullish FVG appeared as in 7:48 but the swing that created the FVG couldn't break the recent swing high. After that, a lower swing high formed and then the price broke that lower swing high. Is it still a BMS? Is the checklist still considered as complete?
Welcome Buddy! That's a very good question. There tends to be two schools of thought on this, so using your bullish FVG as an example, some ICT students think that the swing high has to form prior to the liquidity being taken and others think that it doesn't matter. I've observed ICT do both. What I think is important is that you see the displacement/energetic move away from the POI, then this reversal is then confirmed by the shift in market struture. The swing can be before or after but you really want to see both of these once the liquidity has been taken. Hope this helps!
Hello Paul. Awesome Video. I was wondering tho, earlier in the video you said that liquidity is found above old highs and below old lows, so what exactly is an old high or low? Is it the low or high of the previous day, week, and month?
It can be all of those. Obviously the higher the time frame the more important from a liquidity point of view. As a general rule of thumb you want to be paying attention to points of interest on higher time frames than your executing time frame.
Love your teachings. Please, could you make your screen more visible cos they're quite tiny when you're giving us the examples. I'd like to see the candle sticks clearer .
Hi Champ, sorry to reach out again, are yue able to do a video on how to use the Tendency report (as per ICT) i have tried to read it, I bought the susbcrition but I simple can not read it properly... ( I am willing to pay for the tutorial)! hope you have a great wk ... cheers
Hello Paul , I have checked ICT TH-cam channel which course of his is recommended to start he has bunch of playlists from 2016 to 2023 , can you suggest
Yes it can, but generally you want to see the second candle to be an expansive one as this represents price being delivered inefficiently which is what we are looking for.
The swing high broken in the BTC example was also a Intermediate Term High as it had filled the bearish FVG. This made it an even more high probability set up. Great video as always. Keep up with the ICT content please!
@@rombusworkmoney22 that's correct - if there are wicks. FVG+ is between the high of the 1st candle and the low of the 3rd candle & FVG is between the low of the 1st candle and the high of the 3rd candle. You'll note from the video that in the diagrams the candles don't have wicks (for simplicity) so the open/close would substitute.
@@pauljleroy Yes, I have noticed that your diagrams do not have wicks, but I have watched two of your videos in which you marked FVGs using bodies of candles that have wicks. I commented about that under both videos.
Nice video brother, really love your content! Is there any reason to look for setups in High time frames like 15m or 4h. I thought we should zoom in into lower tf, like 2-3 minutes. I am new, so please help!
Thanks mate! It really comes down to personal preference and what suits your trading style or system. That’s the power of the concepts - they work across asset classes and time frames.
It's easier to think about it in terms of liquidity. There is buyside liquidity at previous highs and sellside liquidity at previous lows. The reason there is liquidity there is because retail traders will have their stops resting there and it is the triggering of these stops which creates the liquidity or the opposide side for smart money to enter or exit the market.
Hi Paul this is your 2nd video I watched and I must say you have great potential buddy keep it up and mark my words you will progress a lot you will soon reach millions of subscribers /followers soon keep creating great content and serving the community,
Insta-subscribe. To echo some of the other commenters, you're a fantastic teacher. Your clear, succinct examples alleviate any confusion whatsoever. The clean charts and checklist drive the point home. Looking forward to applying this to my ES trades.
Paul, your explanations are outstandingly clear, your videos are always really well organised and as a beginner I really appreciate your professionalism. Thank you ... I always seem to get my "the penny dropped " moments as I watch your videos
The technical analysis component of the ICT strategy is also really valuable. It's amazing how patterns repeat themselves in the markets.
Agreed! The precision is amazing.
I can't help but thanking you Paul! Great jobs and keep on doing it. Your videos help me checking my ICT understanding. You have a gift of making complicated concepts easier to get. God bless you Paul and meet all your life goals.
Great to hear! Thank you 😊

Much appreciated!
Same for me too, thankss

Glad it was helpful! Keep at it - you can do this!
I implement this strategy on the time frame of 1 minute and I get up to 80% win rate. This strategy is the best in my opinion...
I agree - it is very effective!

👏🏿👏🏿
Great teaching!! Every step of explanations & examples!! TY
Thank you - you're welcome!
Your Videos are Elaborate and so resourseful. Thanks!
Thanks Dennis! Glad you find them helpful 😊
Thanks for the video. I have a question...Does it matter wha timeline you use? DO you just pick anyone? or do you do a top down analyis?
This was the missing piece to this puzzle for me. My back testing rate is about 68% already, but this should be a game changer as my entries and exits or always in doubt.
Awesome!
easily and simply explained. good one Paul!
Glad you liked it!
Great stuff, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
excellent tuition
Thank you!
Is it when candle sweep previous candle then fvg is compulsory?
Very Nice....Thank you
Thanks for sharing the video. The FVG trade set up you showed there is not what I understand how ICT shows on video #2. Maybe I got it wrong.

Thank you so much! Appreciate the feedback 😊 I'll make sure the charts are more zoomed in from now on 👍
Amazing 😊
Paul I thought only the candles were to be used when measuring FVG’s, not the wick. Can you clarify?
Using the wicks is a more advanced application (called implied FVGs) but generally the high/low of the candles will dictate the FVG.
thank you very much
Welcome!
Awesome ❤
Hi Champ, sorry to reach out again, are yue able to do a video on how to use the Tendency report (as per ICT) i have tried to read it, I bought the susbcrition but I simple can not read it properly... ( I am willing to pay for the tutorial)! hope you have a great wk ... cheers
I'll have to check that out 🤔
thanx again, Paul. Great work
My pleasure!
Hello Paul , I have checked ICT TH-cam channel which course of his is recommended to start he has bunch of playlists from 2016 to 2023 , can you suggest
As a starting point I think the 2022 Mentorship will give you a good base and your quickest path to implementation.
Thanks sir for being understandable ...but i ve a question on FVG. Can half or quarter of the candle body overlap each other?
Yes it can, but generally you want to see the second candle to be an expansive one as this represents price being delivered inefficiently which is what we are looking for.
brill, paul
Thanks 😉
hello again grandpa, now im studying ur video
Welcome back!
You are excellent, Sir
Many thanks!
Salaam(peace) Very good video Paul.
Thanks Muneer 😊
thanks alot for all you do
No worries!
The swing high broken in the BTC example was also a Intermediate Term High as it had filled the bearish FVG. This made it an even more high probability set up. Great video as always. Keep up with the ICT content please!
Good point! Nice pick up 💪
8:24 An incorrectly marked area here too. And at 8:43.
The FVGs are correct.
@@pauljleroy they're supposed to be constructed between ends of wicks, not bodies of candles.
@@rombusworkmoney22 that's correct - if there are wicks. FVG+ is between the high of the 1st candle and the low of the 3rd candle & FVG is between the low of the 1st candle and the high of the 3rd candle.

Thanks mate! It really comes down to personal preference and what suits your trading style or system. That’s the power of the concepts - they work across asset classes and time frames.
5:52.. dont retail buyers set buy orders at the lows?? and then smart money liquidates them by shorting??

Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Sir what if there is 3 fvg gaps and than bof happen is this case which fvg we should use for entry?
You should use the most conservative fvg for entry but your risk should allow for price to move into the other fvgs.
Great Job!
Thanks!
Great educator (y)
Thank you 🙌
Great Video!!
Thanks!
Excellent!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice

Appreciate that - thank you!
Real quality learning on ICT fair value gaps, cheers Paul.
Thanks Glenn!
Very clear explanation!
The candle who broke Market structure is always the third candle and then you have to look at the two candle before to get the FVG?
No, not always. You are best to look for the FVG first and ensure that the move breaks market structure (not the other way around).
@@pauljleroy i look for a 3 candle combination forming the fvg, that broke the structure
Highly Informative Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
excellent

Awesome video-thank you so much.
Can you please talk about order blocks?
I cover order blocks in some of the 2022 Mentorship reviews, but this is a good idea for a new video 👍
@@pauljleroy I'd love to see that video as well!
You’re a great teacher. Thank you for putting such quality time and effort into this. Very helpful. God bless you Paul🙏🏽
I appreciate that!
What a fantastic presentation big big thank you
Thanks! You are welcome!
Thank you very much, well explained!
Welcome!
When would you drop to a lower time frame for an entry ?
I'll generally be on the 15m then move down to the 5m before going down to 1m.
Excellent video! Thanks
Thanks!
your voice is so soothing
Thanks 😊
