[0:00]All right, I gotta record this again. I recorded the first time and it was freaking muted, bro. But basically today, little trade win recap, the simplest ICT 2022 model breakdown, it can't get simpler than this. Hopefully, I can break it down simply because I tend to become a little bit slow and say some not comprehensible stuff. So let me try to break it down easiest as possible. This is just textbook, easy, easy understandable way to to enter off the 2022 ICT model. It's truly like, I know a lot of people use it, it might be a little oversaturated, it might it might even be retail now, but it still works sometimes. Um, and it's just it's just a classic, right? So first off, on the I well, we had big news today. Obviously, you can see here. Um, usually, I know I don't really like to trade news or I know some of you don't really like to trade news, but usually when I see a huge candle like this, what I like to do is I like to see structure being formed usually right after. I like to see at least the discount level, right in this case, of the imbalance being, um, filled, but we decided to fill the entire entire thing. That's that's, I mean, that's even better for me, I guess, but usually I like to see structure being formed a little bit and then most of the times I'll see a setup form after a huge candle like this. After a huge candle, we'll see some chop and then structure being formed. So that's what I saw today, and I decided to take a take a trade. Um, so let me break it down. So, the 2022 ICT model, the first thing in this model you look for is a liquidity sweep. Sell side, uh, sell side liquidity sweep, buy side liquidity, whatever it is, it's you're going to look for a liquidity sweep here. So, what do we get here? We get a liquidity sweep. What does this do? So, people who entered also, I obviously got rid of all my annotations, um, for this video so I'm going to be doing it again.

[1:50]So, people who went long, entries everywhere, and their stops for most people, most retail traders are going to put their stops at the the recent swing low because they're going to think, well, that's protected. There's it's support and resistance. This is resistance zone. We're good, right? No, because the ICT 2022 model teaches us that we're going to look that price is going to look for stop hunts. And this is exactly what we do. We tap out those retail trades, we sweep out liquidity, and what does this do? This generates enough power. It's kind of the market's now now satisfied with the money it's taken from those retail traders and it's now going to now finally going to decide to to head up to to grab more liquidity, right? We're going for external liquidity to internal liquidity. So, after we sweep this sell side liquidity, now we're looking for the second thing in the model, which is displacement. A displacement, um, primarily means a fair value gap. Um, I guess I'll just explain it for a fair value gap. So, a fair value gap is essentially three candles, uh, we'll just take this one for example, three candles, so the first candle, second candle, third candle, and the first candle here, right? The first candle, the wicks, the the top wick and the bottom wick, they do not overlap each other, okay? They do not overlap each other and they form this gap, right? So, the fair value gap starts from the top of this the bottom of this top candle and the top of this bottom candle. See, I'm making this more complicated than I should be. So, that's basically a fair value gap. So, where do we see a fair value gap? Well, I know where you're looking. We got one right here, right? So, we got a fair value gap here. And then let's also zoom out into the higher timeframes to see if we get any more fair value gaps because higher timeframe holds higher power. And the higher timeframe fair value gaps are more likely to hold than the lower timeframe ones. So, let's see if we get a fair value gap. And yes, we do. Let's just check if we get even higher one on the five minute and no, we didn't, right? So, I entered off of the three minute fair value gap, and the only thing that I feel like I could have done better in this trade was wait for that five minute order flow to form because the next step in the ICT model is to make sure that you get a breaker structure, right? So, I kind of tweak I have kind of my own my own edited version of the 2022 model, right? So, I don't know if you he teaches changes changes in state of delivery for the ICT 2022 model. I don't think he did. I think I think y'all learned off of or I think it was based off of breaker structure, right? But I like to go off of change state of delivery. So, I saw a three minute change state of delivery here, but like I said, usually I wait for five minute changes instead of delivery. Um, so that's the only thing I could have done better was wait for that five minute cuz five minute confirmations are my best friend because I trade on the lower time for the one, two and three minute. So, I really like to see the five minute, but I saw the three minute here. We got a sweep and sell side, we got a we got displacement in that fair value gap and we have like an order block kind of change of delivery area. So, it was a pretty high confluence trade. Uh, we also broke this change, like kind of market structure, breaker structure. This was kind of like a this you can call a market structure shift. It's kind of takes longer to break. This is a change of delivery. We get consistent breaks and structure, uh, on the one minute, so it's it's just basically following bullish order flow. It's a pretty simple idea to grasp, right? So, let's go over it. First, in the model, we get a sell side, a sweep and sell side liquidity. Second, we get displacement, which is a fair value gap. Third, we get a breaker structure. Fourth, now all we're doing is waiting for price to retrace back into that area, and guess what it does? It retraces back into that freaking area, right? Freaking packet. It retraces back into that area. Boom, I get a retracement. I enter. We enter we go into some drawdown. Not worried. Um, we also form a uh CRT candle here. I did not know that. I just figured that out. We formed a CRT here, which is pretty good. CRTs are pretty good. Uh, and then we get a huge volume candle, and the rest of that is history. I took partials right when we broke out of this internal this internal range here, uh, and then I had my Fibonacci tool drawn out. And then I targeted right below, um, equilibrium of the CPI candle, and then I took my profits. But yeah, that's basically the really, really simple breakdown of the ICT 2022 model. Um, you can even look at it at a broader aspect like, look, we take self side here, right? This is the five minute, if you guys want to trade higher time frame. We get a five minute sweep and sell side liquidity, and then what do we get? We get displacement. We get displacement here. A five minute fair value gap. And then what what else do we do? Well, we break structure here, right? We break structure here, we break structure here. So, we get a sell side, sweep liquidity, we break structure. We get a five minute fair value gap. Retrace back into that price area, you could have entered that off of that either. So, it's literally everywhere. If you want to use this, it's it's honestly really simple to understand. It's good. It gets the job done. Um, just make sure to practice it. If you don't like what some of it comes with, then you can change it like I have. But other than that, it's not much else to do to say here in this video. Uh, yeah, bro. Today was a pretty solid day. I I really like the futures thing a lot more than Forex. I guarantee you, if I took this trade today on Forex, I would have gotten stomped out and press would have just been just disrespected every kind of confluence and I would have started tilting. Uh, I like futures. I think I'll go into an actual top step top step account in maybe a month, in maybe a week or a week and a half. Maybe next week is going to be my last week on demo, um, and then get into top step. Not much else to say. Uh, if you guys want to join, I know I'm sound like a dickhead, YouTube kid boy here, but it's obviously free. I'm not letting y'all pay for shit. Um, I have a Discord. We talk about trades, entries. We actually talked about this trade today. Few of us got stomped out. Few of us got or won the trade, but I mean, it's just a great way to learn more, right?
