Education - ICT OTE NY SESSIONHi all, Just wanted to give another example, This one is one of the first that popped up while I sat down to back test today. one of the reasons why this is such a strong example of how perfectly the OTE plays out is, the Sunday range is tested perfectly. The Sunday range is set at the beginning of market open, Sundays open price is created, We move into Monday and price goes 1. AGAINST THE HTF TREND 2. into a DISCOUNTED SELL 3. INTO A LTF OB 4. INTO AN OTE OF A RECENT IMPUSE. the excursion of this trade is well into the 10 RR as seen on charts, I personally only test to 3/1 and that ran perfectly back into the Sunday range, Which is EXACTLY what we expect. it can be this easy, it can be this obvious.

Elevate Your Trading | How to Track Liquidity and How to TradeEver thought a price moves because it's on support level or below a resistance level? Or because your favourite indicators show a buy/sell signal and you want the price to see the same and move in you favourite direction? A Big No, dear. That simply won't happen... The main gyrator of the market is "Liquidity" What is liquidity? Liquidity, in very simple terms, is where stops are. And that's (mainly) below relative equal lows or above relative equal highs... So you're now maybe thinking, "well, that's why I get stopped out just before the price moves violently in my previous direction.." Exactly, that's it... Learn how to see where liquidity is resting and how to to become engaged in a good trade... That's exactly what I want you to do... And here is one lesson of many that I will post.. in addition to live calls when I see high-probability setups... I will turn your eyes to it... Ther are a lot more to come, so don't forget to ▶️ LIKE ▶️ FOLLOW to keep updated with everything I post.. Let me know in the comments what you wanna be the second lesson on.. Good Luck&Be Safe

$EURUSD - End Of Week - Economic Calendar vs. Algorithm (SMT)***SMT = Smart Money Technique = the lck of believe and use of retail theory strategies. It is an algorithm that seeks liquidity and balance. We doon't trade off trndlines, no do we follow channels, or harminics, or belive in supply and demand. There's al Algorrithm nd the Candles givee you the keys. per ICT. And I could be extremely off for this. AAAlright so it seems that the Euro has been slowly going down throughout the week. I don't see tomorrow being much different even with NFP numbers coming out. It is acting as if there is still liquiidity to be broken on the sell side. Especially the equal lows right at 1.15400. I think it will break a little higher during the London session and cross the Median of the 15 min Fair Value Gap, probably even cover the FVG it and hit the bearish order block before dropping. One scenario I do have is it hitting that 1.15450 area aas it is a bullish order block under a FVG and stopping there and slowly moving up since it is the end of the week. Howeever, It is NFP Friday, the worst day to trade, So I'm not going to even thinkin about trading this. But I'm putting out my guess as to wht would possibly happen. What we're looking at just below a few deviations below the Asian Range as well as using the fib for a short sell after it gets above premium and into that median of the 15 Min FVG gap around 1.15750, I wouldn't be surprised if thats the time we get the worst volitlitity and people chase it up aand it does go up for a brief moment but then it just falls straight though the Liquidity /equal low area at 1.15400 and the straight on throught to the 175% exxtenssion which just so happens to also be the Mar High of 2020 during the high volatility of Covid around 1.154115 which is also inside a dailly order Block. Chart Seen Here:: We'll just have to wit and see what happens. Happy Trading

$EURUSD - Judas swing to Bearish during London Session *SMT**SMT* - Smart Money Technique - This Means we don't base our technical analysis off trendlines, channels, harmonics, double tops double bottoms, or anything retail has ever taught you. We go off where the liquidity is likely to be setting so that smart money would be going after it to trigger the buy/sell limits and take them out with short stop-losses or chasing the trade. We think of daily bias first and use different methods such as the Asian range order blocks, breakers, etc. There's a lot of smart money vocabulary and if you're not familiar with it or the way it's presented, you may not understand this idea fully. In the short term, the Discount price from the previous ran (61.8%) as a short is exactly where I put my entry, I believe it may get a little higher but I think it's going for Thursday as the low of the week (or high of the week) but Wednesday still has some Sell-side Liquidity it is drawing toward. It did hit the daily bearish order block wick during the trading session today but that could just mean it's going in a little deeper before turning bullish and I still think it has a ways to go in the bearish sentiment before turning bullish. I could be complertely wrong and that it could turn bullish as we've hit the daily bullish order block already (but only the wick). But I have a feeling we'll be diving deeper before this pair turns bullish as it seeks liquidity. We'll just have to wait and see. :) Good Luck and Good trading OANDA:EURUSD

Nasdaq To 15800.0 Before ChristmasWith Gains in big growth stocks like Amazon & Microsoft l do expect the Nasdaq to continue on this rally towards the 15800.0 level. Moving over to more Technical Things: The momentum on the Index is still massively bullish. We can see Bearish OBs being violated while Bullish PDAs being respected. The nasdaq only needs a little more artificial HYPE. to get it towards my 15800.0 level so expect more positive news in the the big growth stocks this coming week. Gshekinah101 FX
