When we look for high probability trades, we ask ourselves where is price likely headed to? Higher or lower? And off of what level? And what level is it reaching for for profit?

Besides those sessions, also use previous day’s London session highest high and lowest low And the previous London session high and low prior to the new york session

On the LTF we look for the same things we looked for on the HTF in the previous months

These criteria is not every possible scenario, these are the things ICT looks every single day when the conditions are right. When he’s done his due diligence on the HTF and hes arrived at what he thinks is the highest probability direction, use the previous models and previous months for bias. And the IPDA data ranges with the PD array matrix

Measure the london session range to right before the new york open the extreme high and low, thats important to know befor the new york session, if were bearish then that range is going to help find the next trading day retracement up. During the protractionary state, that move up is going to be a retracement into that london session range from london going into the beginning of new york, so 2am to 7am

Also measure the new york session range high and low, that will also many times give the setup frame for the next days high or low, there will be a retracement inside that range

Look for the previous day’s high and low to look for stop raids, generally youre going to see those scenarios occur when there is an end to a most recent move, in other words when weve seen several days go up its going to go up into a premium array and its probably going to trade above an old high then look for a buy stop run there and then go short the next day, vice versa when the market has been trading lower into a discount array and we look for the market to trade down below a previous day’s low then buy the sell stops and use that as a daytrade

Daily and 4h when we use those independently or in cocert with 1 another to build our bearish or bullish ideas, what were looking for is price analysis of seeing is price supporting bullishness so is it bouncing off of bullish orderblocks is it rejecting old lows and showing a willingness to go higher is it filling in gaps below us and then rallying? Those ideas are the first things that we look for, then are we seeing short term premium arrays getting violated? If thats occuring then its bullish, institutional orderflow is bullish. Vice versa for bearish


When

Its easily seen what it would reach for above you presently, if you cant see it easily its probably not going to be a high probability setup


Where

FVG below a short term low from previous days NY session obviously has to line up with other things as well, like the CBDR, asian range etc. And time of day, during London open

If we have rallied right after MNO and didnt get any retracement then at 2pm we buy the first bullish orderblock on the retracement on a 15m or 5m timeframe

We havent seen the market go up first then go down twice the second in that condition the market is likely going to keep on going lower. If it has not seen any protractionary move on the upside or a judas swing up and we go down for a low and 1 more time blow out that low we buy that as a turtle soup. This one is not really clear to me?
