💎[Thread] How to improve the winrate of your (ICT) entries dramatically? 🧠
In this thread I explain how outside of acting with the right Bias and Patience you can dramatically improve your entries.
1. HTF POI
Take only trades that correspond to the HTF Bias and thus also HTF POIs. You can also take counter bias trades, but there must be proper thinking behind them.
HTF POIs:
- OB
- BRKR
- FVG
- NWOG
- NDOG
2. TIME ⏰
Trade only in the right times, this will lower the chances of you being used as liquidity or opening trades in accumulation phases.
Indices: Macro’s (
Forex: Killzones
AVOID TRADING IN NEWS ENVIRONMENTS!
3. Liquidity Sweep
Wait for a Liquidity sweep. this causes retail to be trapped in the wrong direction and will provide the opportunity for “smart money” to buy the "retail” buy and sell stops
This can be:
- Old high / low
- Equal highs / lows
- Previous sessions highs / lows
4. DOL
Provide a clear draw on liquidity. Without a clear target, there is no reason to take a trade.
Examples of DOL:
- Old high / low
- Equal highs / lows
- Previous sessions highs / lows
- VIB's
- FVG's
A hunter does not shoot without having prey in his sights.
5 (A). MSS
Wait for a CLEAR MSS!
For me a clear MSS (market structure shift) heeft de volgende 3 characteristics:
1. Taking out the swing low which created the high.
2. the candle that creates the MSS has a lot of volume (displacement)
3. the MSS leaves a fair value gap
5 (B). Your MSS can be the fill of an inefficiency
Previously, my MSS often appeared to be filling an inefficiency.
Looking on the M1 there seems to have been an MSS shift with Displacement taking place, but then looking on the M5 the M1 MSS was an M5 FVG fill.
6. SMT
“Smart money technique” can be used between correlated Indices / Pairs.
Indices: ES, NAS, DOW, DXY
Forex: EU, GU, DXY
For example, when ES makes a higher high and NAS makes a lower low there is a crack in correlation. This could mean underlying distribution
7. Go through the above points and backtest with them and see which ones suit your strategy, setups best. Personally, I risk more capital when a trade meets all 6 points above than when a trade meets only 4 of the 6 points.
I really hope this is helping all you guys! I it gives me a great feeling to help you understanding the concepts of @I_Am_The_ICT understand better.
