Thank you for posting these treasures. I am not able to focus fully on studying yet. So your brief excerpts of focus are becoming helpful. ICT Michael is so very generous to teach us from the kindness of his spirit.

[@kathrynmcg]

Appreciate the subtitles! ICT talks a LOT about his models being unique to him, how other people suck at teaching it, and telling us not to press buttons. He does very little discussion of the ACTUAL SETUP. So I appreciate others who try to educate - they often do it more clearly and concisely than he does. What I’ve gathered is that the run on liquidity was to the buy side, so at 10am, we are looking for an FVG to enter short, target 5 handles and exit. Is that correct? In this example, we *almost* take sell side liquidity as well. Would that signify that we can take the trade long as well? Or would price have to take out that 4071.75 SSL before we enter long?

[@vincebonney2292]

absolutely, the target is both sellside and buyside liquidity. we take long as well, if price is at the discount and seeking to engage buyside.

@@Flowkalb I definitely agree that the clickbait and poorly explained content is terrible and I'd be frustrated if I were ICT. I have ADHD so I have a hard time focusing on ICT's longer videos but I do my best with them and try to concentrate on his live tape reading which is really helpful. Like any acquisition of knowledge, sometimes it takes a different method of instruction or just explaining the same concept 20 different ways to gain comprehension (as long as that explanation is accurate!) There are some great ICT students on Twitter too whose chart annotations are very helpful

[@danielrose6288]

I wish his audio quality was always like this

[@jckem6172]

He's completely right what he said before 16:08

[@skullptv]

TL;DR: To summarize, we should have entered a short at the 1-min gap and then gotten out after 5 handles. OK. But wait. IF WE WERE ENTERING AT THAT MOMENT, THE STRUCTURE SHIFT REQUIRED FOR TAKING A TRADE, WAS NOT YET CONFIRMED AT THAT POINT. THE LOW AT 4075.75 WAS NOT EVEN TOUCHED BACK THEN. But let me start from the beginning. The blue 5-min gap that's been drawn out on the chart from the very beginning is, according to ITC's own words, NOT an FVG - in another of his videos, he says that, in cases like that (which is what I would call the 'engulfing pattern' separated by just one candle in between the two long ones) price has ALREADY REBALANCED, meaning, as I would explain it, the pronounced BODY of the candle almost adjacent to / almost directly preceding the gap, makes the gap invalid, in other words, not suitable for further consideration. Here, he doesn't mind using the same occurrence as a VALID gap. When you're paying attention, his stuff is full of inconsistencies such as this little one. The excerpt is taken from an original 2-hour video (kzbin.info/www/bejne/gn-Un5mPpZmXeNk) where this particular part starts after a 49-minute-and-30-second long rant in which you'll find little to no value when it comes to the practical side of trading. But the talk is still more or less related to the chart we're looking at which can be deemed as more 'on point' than many if not most of his other videos. That's what, in my view, is a sign of a serious DISRESPECT to his listeners and their precious time, or, at the very least, an utter and complete inability to get to the point which has proven to be the case throughout most of his 'teachings'. But hey, I would be willing to endure all of that still because my desire for knowledge is, in this case, stronger than my impatience, etc. However, extracting any tangible value from those rants is a hell of a challenge, to say the least. But let's put that aside as personal tastes may vary, and let's focus on concrete data, because ultimately, that's what matters the most. At 37:50 of the original video, we're told about a 'bearish breaker' that, and I'm rephrasing this to make it clear, would offer a trading setup 'after a potential shift of market structure'. More specifically, a gap inside that breaker. And we were watching a specific low at 4075.75 that would confirm the shift if broken to the downside. At 41:00 ITC draws a Fib retracement and we're looking at discount arrays as potential targets. You may say that ITC never says that we're going to trade anything and that's true. He never mentions that there would be a 'trading setup', not even a potential one. However, that is the most fundamental thing you need to know, this is why you've come here in the first place - you simply want to know what the setup is, what the conditions are that make it valid and whether you can trade it or not. But you're left in a fog in that respect. And I bet there will be people out there that will tell you that you just don't understand (something they presumably do). If there are people that do understand it, and make money off of it, then you'd rather shut up and won't make a fool out of yourself, right? That, IMHO, is how this cult works. But let's come back to the chart. If we don't consider those discount arrays potential targets for our short, then what's the point in breaking them down in detail anyway? At 41:35, as the closest potential target in the discount area, (though it's never specifically called the 'target'), ICT identifies and delineates a low at 4071.75 as sellside liquidity. Then, a bit further down, a small FVG, and then a short-term low. As it turns out, NONE of them, not even the closest one, is later hit. At around 44:32, when ITC finds out that he's been mistakenly looking at the 5-min chart instead of the 1-min, he discovers an FVG on the 1-min that he 'would use as an entry going short' and immediately adds 'there's sellside resting below here' pointing to the most obvious target for that short. Again, that target was missed as price was going to make a reversal above it and rallied from there which means IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A LOSS. But not only that, ICT proceeds with tweaking the imbalance further down below still anticipating at that point that price might go even lower. At 46:05 we hear 'it's about to hit the sellside' - again, that's the closest target delineated at 4071.75. It didn't happen. Only AFTER the fact, or more specifically, as it's becoming obvious that price is making an aggressive U-turn to the upside and that hitting those targets is increasingly unlikely, the specifics of what SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE are revealed to us. It's only at that point (54:36) that we are told what the Silver Bullet setup actually is. At 55:02 we are finally enlightened about the crucial part here: It was only supposed to be the 'LAST PORTION OF THE MOVE' that started within the 9:50-10:10 AM window and we should have only been looking for 5 handles. So, the whole thing gets suddenly reframed and we're now coming to a detailed explanation, already in hindsight. At 58:43, it is reiterated that 'I WOULD go short there' (pointing to the entry at the 1-min gap that ITC initially missed on the 5-min). We are now schooled that the discount arrays, and I am rephrasing to emphasize the point, were not meant as targets, they were just the 'structure that we used for draw on liquidity'. Those who took the short listening to this live session didn't know they should have taken the profit after 5 handles as that's something that was only revealed AFTER all the targets discussed earlier had failed. ICT is well aware that 'some of you probably are in this trade' (59:51) and that 'you were probably holding on for this sellside' (which was missed) and that 'it probably ripped against you'. The answer you get at the 1:00:00 time stamp is 'don't take the trades'. What follows is a classic manipulation that's supposed to make you feel stupid and guilty for this failure. Don't get me wrong, it was your fault and yours only if you did follow these instructions. But it's worth noting how the failure that took place in front of our eyes is being instantly turned against you, in a very authoritative and rude manner. The rant that follows, and this is going on for one more hour from there, then builds upon what we already know and see on the chart to break it down further and reveal more reasons why it happened, what could have been anticipated, etc. To summarize, we should have entered a short at the 1-min gap and then gotten out after 5 handles. OK. But wait. IF WE WERE ENTERING AT THAT MOMENT, THE STRUCTURE SHIFT REQUIRED FOR TAKING A TRADE, WAS NOT YET CONFIRMED AT THAT POINT. THE LOW AT 4075.75 WAS NOT EVEN TOUCHED BACK THEN. And here, at this point, which will likely be overlooked by many, everything falls apart. Could we have an open discussion on that? Is it possible that there could be flaws found in these concepts? Why do you think the comments are disabled under the original video(s)? And you know what's worst? It's that not everything in these teachings is nonsense. It's just that you'll waste a lot of time and likely end up frustrated trying to get them from the horse's mouth. Literally anywhere else these concepts are being talked about, you'll have better chances of actually learning something useful.

[@MrShurminator]

Spot on! Exactly my thoughts after watching it…. I chuckle every time ICT rants about his viewers intelligence, but keep watching in hopes I find a diamond in a pile of manure. I slowly realize that it’s all about structures and not setups. At this point I developed my own setups using structures pointed out by ICT, which have a lot of other names, since they existed before ICT was even born. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@ransombaggins9301]

While it will take me awhile to work through what you've written here, I thank you. I appreciate ICT but I wish he taught in a way that worked for me. I wish I could find someone who understood his stuff AND knew how to teach efficiently and visually. I'm searching but if anyone has any recommendations for other channels, let me know!

Ok but the Silver Bullet trade doesnt require a market structure shift, thats the 2022 entry model. The silver bullet only requires, 'obvious liquidity' and a displacement with a FVG to enter on.

displacement run can continue after 10:10. Then we wait for a retracement into a FVG made during the displacement.

See comment below asking a similar question. I've hearted the correct explanation

1 handle is 5 pips

[@theshadowtrader.]

1 handle is a a full move from 1 point to another. I.e: From 4052 to 4053 that is one handle, a tick is a quarter of that move (0.25 - 0.50, 0.75 - 1) There are for ticks in 1 handle. So, 5 handles you are aiming for 4050 to 4055 (if long), there are 20 ticks in that move. Hope it helps

Agree. He certainly isn’t warm and fuzzy. I honestly think he’s terrible at teaching his own concepts, which is why others, whom he denigrates, re-teach them more clearly. He does a lot of talking and gets so caught up in the sound of his own voice, it makes it very difficult to discern what he is actually teaching. As someone with a learning disability, I get frustrated when he says he hides the “gold nuggets” of wisdom among his hours long content to reward people who listen to his every word. Super egotistical and unfair to those who desperately WANT to learn ICT but can only focus for limited periods of time. Anyway, rant over 😂

He talks about the highs and lows and market structure, but doesn't specify whether this is for a fair value gap after interacting with low or high of day or whether it is a response to a particular market structure or what. But we do need to know that we should be trying to learn the concepts rather than trying to push the button and see what happens. Maybe there is a great trade setup here.
