It was visible on the 5 min
Oh I can see it now
Iāve being waiting all day to take this short now I missed my entry
Would have being a good way to end the week
One sec
Any swing low
How you know which one
A swing low is a low with precious candle being higher wick and next candle being higher
You didnāt miss the move
You missed the premature setups
Actual setup just happened once dev grilled you can short
BUT
Session lowntaken just now so long liquidity is in place
If you want once session liquidity swept
Hop onto 1m or 2 or 3 or 4
You can find a mss n fvg 99% of time before 5m
Luke where do you have PDF with instructions
@west berry i took this on the 1 min
using gardners strategy, which is more or less identical to to lukes, except its one minute and your TP is simply a 1:2 RR with the SL being established just past the reversal area
But itās time conscious isnāt it
Like sliver bullet
it depends. his morning session is entry 930-11, based on the highs of midngiht to 930
which is essentially saying "london sweep, stop if no entry by lunch"
so it would make logical sense that the afternoon session could use the morning sweep as well for the same 1 min play
he doesnt define the "london session'' as his high and low....but it basically is the same and then the first part of the NY prior to regular market open
look interesting
the only thing I don't like about it is that it has a set RR
starting Monday I will stop trading ES, I will start looking at RTY instead, it is more volatile but it is easier to trade, the main problem I have with ES is that many times it doesn't actually move (even after taking into account the different leverage)
@night flicker You should keep track of all 4, some move better than others, I like to have this open when doing SMTs divergences and/or deciding what to trade because it would be easier lol
These are the most popular indices, then you can go into commodities like gold and oil
yeah I might look at it for confluence but won't trade on it
I might also trade other stuff at the same time
I have a trading partner and we decided on 6 - 7 tickes to trade on, so we might just divide it between us (so each 3 tickers) and trade together
so it doesn't supposed to be too difficult
so we will trade RTY + NQ, 6A + 6J, CL + HO, GC
Yeah looks like you trade the 'goods' lol
I mostly trade NQ unless it starts to chop and look like poo then Ill switch to something else. Keep me posted I dont mind branching out
BUT, we might drop the idea because we found a way to turn ICT to a more scalpy way and leaving the runners in
the only problem we had is that most of the day is dead
waiting for the chart to move
sure, I'll let you know which tickers seem to work on the basic ICT strat
or if you want I can share some of the trades that we took / take
You dont have to show me. Only if your seeing something on another ticker you can let me know. You dont have to show me the signal or anything. I can do Technical Analysis pretty quick
sure thing! will keep you posted
we do need to look out on what actually works on each ticker but all seem to work on the strategy that we built
Good to hear! Glad its working out š
alot of it is thanks to you
sup everybody! I just joined the server yesterday, and have only been deep into trading for about 6 weeks (focusing pretty much on just NQ and ES). Took some time to read back through the thread just to get the lay of the land and see who's who and what's what and I'm excited to be a part of this community!
Welcome, hope you'll find it useful
feel free to ask anything most of us will answer
Thanks! I was super impressed by the strats y'all have come up with and refined as a community. I already snagged some of the indicators made by @cloud cipher and @west egret and watched a lot of @hearty rivet's videos.
There's a lot of information here. Practice what you see in demo first, ask questions to make sure you got it right and down. Then we go from there. There's multiple strategies in here people use and it can get quite noisy sometimes but patience is key
Yeah, I've been getting into ICT a lot in the past couple of weeks, so I'm already familiar with the liq. sweep+ MSS+ FVG strat Luke and a lot of y'all use. I look forward to digging into the OG and ST strats and figure out how those work. I'm just focused on trying to learn and being consistent.
i have a buddy who recently jumped to RTY, suggested i check it out. and, there's a micro version, i assume? would love to hear what you think.
I traded rty for years. Its a great product. Watch how it reacts to nvpoc and nvah and nval, very good product to trade
awesome thanks!
how do you feel is sizes up to ES/MES?
I donāt have much knowledge to add to this topic other than my personal experience. i started on NQ, thought it was crazy, then moved to ES, and initially loved it, but then got annoyed when there would be setups that should move things or be bangers and it just didnāt moveā¦.so i went back to NQ and have realized that even as wild as she is, she isnāt afraid to move when the setup is right lol. Respect NQ as it can wreck you fastā¦but time it just right and it can be amazing to watch how fast you go green
I trade /RTY frequently in addition to /NQ and good instrument to trade. It has its own character and moves differently sometimes in compare to others . For example today it went up nicely most of the day. If you trade RTY , keep an eye on the RUT (index) chart and it is much smoother for trends
Also - once you realize that there is noise in NQ itās easier. Donāt stress about a tick here a tick there. If you try and worry about every tick you will kill your strategy and focus. NQ going to be loud and noisy, but if you donāt worry about every tick and look at the trend thatās what mattedsb
Never traded RTY - but will look into it next week after seeing multiple of yāall mentioning it
Its not near as volatile as nq and es. This is why it reacts to those levels so well
For those who trade multiple tickers - are they different enough to get their own setups to where its a valid idea to monitor multiple es/nq/rty and look for a sweep/mss trade on any of the threeā¦.or are they similar enough they will often trigger close to the same time with similar PA?
ES and NQ are pretty close if not same. RTY and YM varies
ES and NQ are close in general because they are weighted indices and the top 5 are same stocks in both. MSFT,APPL,AMZN,NVDA,TSLA,META etc
when we checked for volatility and risk on RTY we figured that RTY has less risk than NQ and ES. The way that we did it is we added ATR and went for the peak in each ticker after the market open (around 9:40) then we multiply it by the leverage so here are the results:
RTY - 2.7 -> 135$ average risk per candle (at the peak volatility)
ES - 3 -> 150$
NQ - 17.6 -> 350$
but, it does feel like RTY is moving smoother than both NQ and ES, so even though ES is more "volatile" per candle, RTY moves more since it is effected by more stocks, ES is more choppy at many times while NQ is more impulsive so you need to play with this on each one of them.. so the strategies that we trade on are better for tickers that move and not chop around, but if your strat works on a choppy market trade ES
you welcome friend ā¤ļø
good morning boys
1m requires buyside sellside liquidty, tp can still be 400-1000 ticks as you can see in the pic. but that requires higher tf bias, i showed this on my previous yt videos you can check. it can take alot of your time and setting up a good trade can take some time. What you can do is do what i did yesterday, i took the same trade. 5m NY AM was taken then i went on 1m cuz i couldnt find a early setup on 5m and saw the FVG and MSS there
Yes - i agree sessions are the best liquidity ā¦and then after that is swept is taken itās basically an identical process on the 1 min and 5 min. The 1 min just triggers earlier than the 5 min
The only thing i have noticed is having to be careful if you have a sweep prior to 930a because the opening of the main market can totally change the previous trajectory
Which i think is why the silver bullet idea focuses on 10-11a as that incorporates the full market including opening range.
This is the 1 min from Thursday. London was swept and it kept moving down. When the 930 candle it it actually flipped the 1min MSS/CHoCH back bullish , but then 2 min later it flipped back bearish again.
Wednesday worked out fine though and was actually a proper silver bullet entry and win
It was the same entry if you played by silver bullet rules (high low sweep post 10a) or by London session sweep.
Friday was an event driven atypical trading day, air
not sure any TA applied, except for the hedging assets idea
The above is Wed and Thursday
But it worked identical on Friday
sorry, did not see it. but you are right
So my personal opinion is if you wanna play both timeframesā¦in the morning the 5min is fine exactly how Luke has showed with the session timeframes.
The 1min works ok too i think if the sweep and reversal is early enough before 930. Because the 1 min is much more sensitive, if reversal on the 1 min happens at or near the 930 opening you have to be aware you could get stopped out even if the 5 min is fine.
This is likely why the silver bullet method looks for the 10-11am time period for entry to let the morning opening pass
So luke has it dialed in on the 5min
For the 1min, If the London sweep happens AND you get a 1 min reversal prior to 9am i would get in on the 1min as that is likely enough time to get a win prior to 930 open.
If it has not happened by 9am i wouldnāt do any entry on 1min between 9-10
Post 10am(to 11), if a sweep has happened and the reversals shows up i would then enter on that
thats where power of 3 comes into play
you check daily bias if we long or short. Lets say we expect a short, hen you draw a line on opening on NY midnight and then you draw a line at open candle of 8 am NY session. , in power of 3 we expect first a maniuplation, price should pump towards the ny midnight session or just breifly above the NY 8 am opening session for manipulation then distrubtion will happen with aggressive shorting. before end of day the third part of power of 3. price will close near but above the low
i show this in many videos on my yt
but this strategy requires time, liquidity and price. with time being more important then the two latter
this strat can allow you to take one contract and leave it running till end of day. ICT enters 50-100 contracts with this. I used to trade this but it requires me being up at 8 am ny, and waiting for 9:30 opening to take my entry (fvg mss etc)
but the one-setup-for-life strat it doesnt require that and allows you to take both longs and shorts
regardless of markets daily bias
@hearty rivet great insights. Thanks! I hope people realize your knowledge and the one Strat for life is not just something random you noticed happening but is actually an advanced trade idea even though itās simple in its setup!
Thanks friend i sincerely appreciate the feedback ā¤ļø
starting monday or next friday if god allows, we will start a apex account passing challenge
we will live trade and pass the account
we will not take any other trades or strats except that one
Iāve been looking at the 1 min not because of any issues with the 5 min - just been wondering if there was a 1min play using the same theory as your 5 min that could possibly give us an additional play, even if smaller TP targets
absouletly, reason behind 5m is for less stress and to accomodate heavy schedules/work
wait for a sweep on 5m then take the first good mss fvg
in fact since sessions high and low are universal, you can stick to 1m
you may encounter several mss or fvgs on 1m which can be bypassed on 5m
Yeah - like yesterday was my thought - use sessions for the sweep, then first 1 min mss Fvg in opposite direction. SL being the reversal and TP 1:2
no reason for tp 1:2
aim for opposite liquidity
just dont move your stop loss into BE or profit until you reach one of these liqs
also
not first 1 min mss. Look for the first aggressive and strongly displaced MSS
leaving a fat fvg
that would filter 99% of bad trades if you go on 1m
Yea thatās a good point
Basically you wanna make sure itās a real shift
Since 1 min flips more often
That makes sense
I do agree you are dead on with sessions being the liquidity sweep to use though - regardless of timeframe - since like you said they are universal
Yesterday have a great example of where 1 min ended up with a nice play while 5 min didnāt pan out as expected
this is it
indeed
I think i got messed up on Thursday because the opening candle triggered a 1min CHoCH - and i didnāt take into account the volatility of that opening time period
So with that being the trigger it was not a smart area to do anything on the 1
Was better to just let it pass
plays at opens must have a loose sl
And if you look at it, it actually wasnāt a true CHoCH.
Since it immediately flipped back to bearish
yeah
I know technically it was, but you could almost t ignore it as it was just a few big random wicks, but overall picture stayed the same and wasnāt a true reversal
I think between the 5min OSFL, the 1min variable (if desired), and the smart tap strategy - one could make an easy living
Whatās even more interesting - is since the ICT by lux is open source and i already have alerts figured out, i could actually incorporate the sweep directly into it.
At 8.00 it will make a internal variable of the high and low from 00.00-08.00
After that happens it looks for one of those being passed
Then and only then Once that criteria is met it will then only allow the reversal alert to happen
So the only time you would get an alert itās go time
And i could set the variable to reset at 1pm with the H and L of the morning session
If i program it right you could just go about your day and never even look until you get that alert. And since itās the 5 min candle and we donāt enter immediately you would have plenty of time to pull it up, even on a phone, and setup an entry
You would start seeing āLukeās OSFLā videos on YouTube instead of Silver Bullet videos š
super helpful, thanks!
there were TA applied, took some trade that played out 100%
it had its pullbacks garbbing liquidity a few times, each time it was a good trade
tbh didn't actually went over what they said, seems like a lot lol
had the time š
Thatās a shame - we talked extensively about you.
šjk - or am i?
@hearty rivet is the 1 step for life concept basically look for a trend on the Daily, look for MSS, wait on a FVG and wait on the retracement at least halfway into the fvg block on a 5 min?
No friend
Did you watch my video
Good morning gentlemen
Yes. š©Let me rewatch
you don't need daily bias, just need the previous session liquidity to get taken. Buying/selling is determined by which side got taken out.
Ok. I think I watch a different video, about to watch the one step video

my guy
knows exactly what i want


HOWDY whos ready for market open
-Market open in 2 hours.
ill be looking for longs
OK Ill watch with you @hearty rivet
LOLOL
lo
We have a smt divergence between ES NQ and YM
With ES being the strongest reversal wise. Liquidity is taken Iāll look enter on the fvg after a strong MSS
Though I donāt like trading pre market but setup is goood, an extra confirmation to back up our initial trade idea
My date finished I have to go on pc to renew it so imma get delayed date lmk know of by screenshot of ES once market open in a minute pls
What session are you trading on?
@hearty rivet Heres ES not sure what you were looking for but heres the chart on the 15min
Thanks man
My live data sub finished
And canāt renew from phone only computer

Ahh gotcha
We might take this previous session low
But if my trade idea is correct, we wonāt have to and it will continue up
So, the thought is that it will continue up to 4452 if the low isn't broken?
Somewhere between 4448-4452?
@summer trout has earned the Lux Level 1 role!

@hardy iris has earned the Lux Level 1 role!
SPX
personally I don't like that FVG
took some time to learn ICT psychology (he didn't officialy say it but it seems to be correct) and that FVG isn't wortha short
let me take a look for a second though
well, the only worth thing that I see on the 5m is 4420 (SPX)
and 15m maybe 4422
which is also the high of this small zone, but it depends on how the market will move up to there
and for NDX can't find the Pepperstones one
Nq got an mss and fvg London sesssion
Lol the downtrend today is strong no lies
yeah but thats not why
122* on the 5m
but a short here seems nice as well
damn was completly wrong lmao
Lol š donāt fade the Strat
it isn't the sessions sweep strat.. the NY PM was swept in between sessions
this should've been your strat if you want to be strict
but since it was swept between sessions you don't have a session sweep here
I didn't look correctly on the chart (it is still a theory that I am learning si still making mistakes)
What time frame is this
5m
Your not suppose to trade midnight session
I wouldnāt have taking that
thats london session
I didnāt have mss on my own chart for that
also, regardless of whether it is showing you or not, its there
Iām still trying to figure out why I didnāt get that MSs probably because I had liquidity turned on or something
maybe something in the settings
screenshot the settings I will compare it to mine
ICTs 2022 model allows for midnight session to be traded if your HTF bias is in line
London session to be precise
Was talking about a different Strat
oh sorry my bad
Got a limit on NDX, stops above Friday's impulse leg down, TP at daily low. Will cancel if it doesn't trigger before NY pretrading
š
Good morning everyone!!! Y'all sleepin?
been here since london
cancelling that order, will wait for more confirmation on direction
not at all
Nah just break between London and us
Looks to me the draw on liquidity is higher. We are still in a HTF downtrend. Keep an eye on on sweeps!
You might be unto something
289.5 - 306 is a strong area
but down we go now
won't enter this since its still risky but its a liq sweep 100% valid short
Wait for more structure first. Market open after a trending night can be choppy
Yupā¦.inverse H&S on 15mā¦looks like more upside.
Can I see your inverse hs chart
Nq might easily 15300
lol
Yupā¦thatās a crazy 15m wick.
You crazy lol
lol
didn't enter was too risky
Same.
look at how close it was to the sl lmaooo
Did you take it
nope
don't like entering even on small amounts
well that FVG I had worked in hindsight lmao
Technically, the NY AM highā¦is the expected move from the inverse H&S
the NDX or SPX one?
NDX
@cunning gull has earned the Lux Level 2 role!
Mss
5m or 15?
but direction isnt clear enough for me now so it's fine, im okay missing this trade if it dumps to daily low
yeah lmao something to remind you that you know what you're doing
Got in
Dang!!!!!
On that MSs retest
If I were to have kept that order I would TP aggressively
Stops to BE aggressively too
If it breaks structure lower I'll look for another setup, still got room downwards
NQ is the only one melting and everything else is climbing or holding bullish
ok, got the first deal, for $122. is the target 26500?
question for Apex users š
Donāt tell me you missed it
and yes, I shorted, cause everyone was long on SP š
yes. if you bought the 25k eval then your target is 26.5
magic, thanks
anytime. i'm a big fan of Apex
Iām up huuuuuuge
what's up with Nasdaq? which one is falling apart?
I took the trade forseti
You took the short?
tesla falling to fill the gap, as far as I see
Yes Risky but I took it on 1 nq con with $400 stop
Something made it tank, while everything else is driving up.
Take profits!
Already did
I didā¦.went to another office..and came backā¦.TOO LATE.
The Strat really works well when we have no red folder news that Iāve noticed about it
NQ recovering from something.
Just wicked the 2m FVG
yeah just now hitting the 5min FVG that was made for the MSS
got my 2nd. last question: now the lower limit goes up, right?
NQ has strong pressure to the upside. We looking good to see 200s
yes. its a trailing threshold. so keep that in mind. also its off UNREALIZED profits. so if your trade goes up 500 but you close out with a 250 profit, the trailing threshold takes the 500 as your high
@sick salmon has earned the Lux Level 1 role!
got it
cool. that gets a lot of people the first time
What makes you say?
where do I see these limits and conditions?
Based on what Im currently seeing and seeing the others Indices launching like rockets
i.e. what's the new threshold, etc
they have a master video training course on the website under the FAQs, i think thats what youre asking
meant on the UI
either Apex or Tradovate
if you remember, no rush
Luke said to check here:
yes you got it
my intention is to NOT have losing deals anyway š
not sure if I can accomplish that lol
lol losing trades are part of the game. the goal is always to keep your winners bigger than your losers.
my goal in the last few months was NOT to lose deals
so far so good š
out of the box thinking, not TA :)))
you got this!
thanks for the help, BD
anytime. always happy to help when i can
Soā¦we donāt care about this 5m order block do we?
No trades for me, not clean action for my strat.
I may come back after London close
Disciplined. I like it!
Thanks!
not seeing anything i like. might be done for the day
When London closes, we will see more of a trend. But I dont want to look at this either lol
lol my thoughts exactly
RTY nice trend 9:30-11
Im outa here, got stuff to do today. Ill probably check it out later.
see ya later bud
Only decent trade today was, but I didnt take it. But my bias earlier this morning was right. Draw was higher. Swept some liquidity, some none sense happened, HTF down trend.
So many opportunities today
I didnāt take any because Iām already passed
This getting boring imma open a third account ahah
May god bless us all Amin
yeah i missed basically all of them lol
Set alerts my bro
i need to. im still learning luxalgo tbh
so much to learn still
do you guys use the alert features on the algo?
Watch my videos o YouTube
Use the one setup for life strategy
Thatās all you require
Sent you a DM
??
in a long
guess im not seeing the mss
from 30m ago?
currently up $500
Solid work
ā¤ļø
tp few ticks away from current profit
sl is also few ticks away from current
and im out
Max tp hit! lets go
Nice one
Thanks friend
i dont see signs of reversal yet
rn filling another bullish fvg
another great place for rentry
no SMT between ES NQ and YM
Awesome work Aggie
SMt on YM
price may start showing signs of reversal but very weak
told you š
but its only to fill that bullish fvg
possible original rentry for those interested, use micros only, stop loss this time is just below the fvg so very tight
@hearty rivet how do you do your money management usually?
same cons per entry? variable? depends on risk? etc?
just curious š
im mostly away from screen
so 1-2 con max
my stop loss is never more than $250-400$
i never take trades that are below 2rr
or do you take profit if setup seems to change
if im single con i let it ride to nearest liquidity
if i have 2 or more cons i close one at nearest liquidity (swing high or swing low) then leave one riding till session high or low
my partial is never below 2rr
ah gotcha
thats max tp
gotcha
thats why if i lose a trade
i can make it up plus profit on next
remember this
few days ago
thats a no trade for me
because it might pulll all the way back up
or you could put your entry at the farthest FVG
look at how much your sl would be even if you enter at the OTE (0.5 fib )
but what you can do is put your sl above the fvg1
tight one and let it run
all these fvgs formed and price still delivering price. Shows that price doesnt want to really revist these prices yet
you will miss the trade. what you can do is observe, wait for price to go up as much as it want and once it goes back down to that FVG1 then take your entry
good side? you protected your self, badside? you may miss the trade if it never goes up
or easiest answer, move on š most likely price was near session low so prepare for a long
also that was a no trade because market was closing in like 5-6 min
NY AM high just taken
bro
who just entered
i took my 100 ticks, this is 200 ticks at rentry
i had my share, didnt renter but see, from liq to liq.
market closing. Easy š
this helps me a lot
for some reason i thought you were going full TP on every entry
using the lux liquidity swings indicator
marks them out really clearly
those liqs dont move the market alot
its where you exited lol
sessions do because those shorting would put their stop limits above it hoping the day will go bearish all the way
those longing would put their stop limits below hoping for long all day
in billions
im talking about the exit
it makes it very clear where the next nearest line for that TP is
that was your exit
and lux liquidity swings agreed on that level
yeah but dont complicate things
once price reaches 2rr close full trade or a partial and let rest run for max tp if not hit already
i risked 60 ticks for 120
price is now at 220 ticks
more than 3rr
it doesnt matter
so just reviewing and catching up on the day
yeah
365 days of year
and it only takes one banger to make your day
i missed all trades of morning i took one at end of day equaling my monthly salary
and you are a fan of the SL being just the other side of the FVG near or associated with the MSS eh?
man can take 1 trade a month
as oppose to the "farthest one away"
thats my issue... FOMO lol
with this strat there is no fomo
stop loss if risky trade just below fvg
best stop loss is the low wick of the candle that formed the FVG
yeah ive seen this a few times reecntly (mostly that ethan gardner dude )
he sets his stop loss at the fartest extreme FVG that was part of the move
and SL just on the other side of the reversal area
yeah
if it comes back up perfect - if not - missed trade move on
and then targets a minium 1:2
in the trade today it just so happened to be one only FVG so that was easy
but i do like how close your SL is
because if there is no FVG past it, then it should not need to go any farther
and i think his idea is that you place it on the extreme one because its going to be "worst case pullback"
and the smallest SL while still covering all possible FVG pullbacks
Hello. I bought premium indicators as in your opinion it is worth to trade only on nimah or it is necessary to make also self analysis ?
Hello @hearty rivet do you mind sharing your protocol file?
I second this request
thank you
Thank you šš½
@hearty rivet if you get a chance could you look back at the 945-10 mss this morning and show me where you would have got in (if at all) and where SL and TP would have been? Please.
Maybe - the one that just makes the sessions is easier to read
Im not Luke but this is what he would see, maybe he can add more to this observation as well.
Messed up on the placing the order here, enter on FVG
RR should also be minimun 1:1.5 - 2
Ha thatās what it was about to say and honestly why i was asking
Setup was there
But wasnāt until here it came for the FVG
I know Luke likes to use sessions liquidity for his sweeps, I just use normal price. Same concept, slightly different strat
Yeah
So the actual entry doesnāt seem like it was until 1020
I just get confused because some people seem to say they are in right away, but it is explicitly said both in likes setup and the original ict stuff to look for the pullback to the FVG
So i just second guess myself when i see people in before that pullback has happened
Or they enter on the candle that created the FVG itself
Yeah, its experience with the market. Strong displacement you can sometimes enter early without being in discount (50% fib aligning with FVG)
But what your mostly looking for is a Sweep/MSS (With displacement)/FVG, then you adjust to the market
i have so much to learn from you guys lol
Is that one public? I havenāt been on the computer yet
@proud valve has earned the Lux Level 1 role!
Yea I have been lurking lightly for a few weeks now and have learned so much just watching them go back and forth.
Prolly take a long on nas if it retraces
the only difference is the length of the trade
since you and I use intra session sweeps the trades are usually smaller than session sweeps but we get more setups per session
how this intra session sweeps works?
like this
for the rule for the FVG setup is: Liq sweep -> MSS (enter only if has displacement)-> FVG retest (best if FVG is before MSS
here liq sweep means previous daily high/low?
yep, but for a sweep you usally want to see price reacts
I'd like to add that most effective FVGs are ones that are at discount/premium zones of an impulse leg depending on the ur directional bias
6
Prolly gonna short SPX
yep
noice
im going to use the FVG as entry instead
will wait for reaction, otherwise ill put a limit at 5am
you entered a short?
Good luck
was about to write where I would've entered and saw that its now lol
but would've held till 417.3
Hmmmmm I just don't like the impulse move
i guess its okay
was looking on my phone so everything seemed so big lmao
I always enter on pending order but sometimes it didn't retrace to FVG and then rip
It hurts a lot 
yeah i only do limit orders in between killzones
looks like the FVG flipped
but im sticking to my bias lmao ill take the loss if im wrong
morning all
Morning guys
Good morning!!!
nice!!! No news today. Lets get this $$$
yesssss
session highs taken. now we wait
love the movement on NQ
Good morning!
morning!
do you follow ES chart when trading NQ ?
i start to follow, but i am not sure if it helps or it is just more noise
Nq already setup for a nice mss to the downside
Market open might just ruin it or give us the play
GM Forseti
what TF are you using?
no MSS on the 5m
Yes I know I was saying itās setup for a nice mss
don't like
I don't use it
We looking a bit bullish this morning. Got some imbalances to take from above before we see lower.
Yeah looking at es it seems bullish
Looking for spx to tap Friday's high
i did not
did you get in?
Same here I think it came for liquidity
No I didnāt
We were close to market open
But itās working out
Yeah me too
SPX has equal highs on 5m , could serve as short term target if it doesn't get taken out before the entry of course lmao
oh btw, I am bullish for the month per my cycles strat
@wraith wharf will you be taking this long setup?
RTY going down
I thought NQ was going to take those EQ lows before going up
Took sell side liquidity and ripped nq 5 min
yeah but that OB looks good
Indicies looking bullish all around too
but also this top OB lol
Long do look good though
The one at 210
yep
Yeah I want discount. Nothing like getting price on clearance
Can you share your fib settings
To big sell off for me to enter
yeah I entered too fast mb damn
feels like reacting to this
Like RTY is taking the lead?
feels like it atm
might be looking for a short here
Thats what it looks like it
anyone else getting weird timeout errors from apex copier/tradovate?
tradovate is screwed up currently
i placed an order and it placed it 10pts higher than i did
true
damn
Manā¦this Moved sooo fast, I had to jump to the 1m , 30s charts
I still want to see more structure. We hold below 180 Ill look for shorts. If we stay above 150 Im still bullish. Looking for more cleaning structure before I decide my trade.
I don't like the price
yeah im about to walk away for a while. this is crap
same
i couldnt exit positions twice now
got in long
Without your insight right there I would be looking for long
@west berry what Strat you using?
didn't do a thing but yw ā¤ļø
Yeah well you opinion about rty and it taking the lead and I got in on the fill of that fvg made me my daily target šÆ š
lmaoo nice!
That would be luke Strat
The session sweep Strat
Yo itās Strat forward
I donāt have the same session highs and lows indicator as him
I can send that to you
Awesome
Is choch the same thing as mss?
yes
Yeah
- what the heck just happened to the market?
- Safe to say, London low swept
Thatās the link
Cool. So I could use Luke Strat with price action concepts indicator? Iāve gotten used to it
Sure can, I use it for FVGs Breakblocks and Swing ChoCh
Were at 50% of this sweep, swept those EQ lows. Still need cleaner structure
i get what you are saying, but whyh are you using yesterdays session low?
wouldnt we have already hit the full TP at London Low?
I dont use sessions, I use price
oh i remember you saying that
so now that liquidity has been taken, we look for long?
Longs would would work when we see a MSS shift and displacement back to the upside. If we slowly grind up we can expect lower still
looks like im gonna get bamboozled
MSS would be past the 15,180 ish?
As of right now yes, or we wait for more structure as time and candles form
odd silver bullet setup today since you wait until 10a to look for recent high and low. since we just bombed just before 10 the next clear low was yesterday around 2pm which we moved past right after 10 lol
looks like the news of rebalancing indices is tanking them
We couldnāt take it at first due to we were close to market open about 2 min to market open we got the fvg so it was super risk but I got In on the next fvg fill
What if nq dies and goes straight to 15075
Attractive liquidity seems to be there
so the strat is to see a market high or low get taken, then a MSS back torward the mean.?
hopefully this tap into the OB drives price higher lmao was worried for a minute
Oh man, hopefully its not just a straight down and straight up lol
god no
more or less
well
not exactly
it looks to take out a previous liqudiity level
and after that liqudiity level is taken out it looks for the reversal back up
which is the CHoCH /MSS
and ideally a FVG involved which shows good strong movement and not a ooze up
what a crap morning
straight down and now straight back up with no pullbacks or anything
The two min FVG was the entry I didnt get on the way back up
1min had a nice reversal but never pulled back
we at 185 NQ
@wraith wharf you took that long?
interesting that 1min CHoCH and MSS triggered different areas - they usually are in lock step
No, I was hoping for more of a discount (pull back lower) to get a better entry but didnt get it
well that 15min candle that rejected the OB looked really good
When we have this many 1m FVGs, gotta look to higher TF like 2-3-5 min
for spx i mean
This would have been it on the 2m
ah yea
didnt take nas coz i dont see the same thing on 15m as it did for spx
if you pull based off the little low prior to the CHoCH on the 1min it gives an interesting entry suggestion
also SPX looks stronger intraday at a glance
since that is when the CHoCH low is....whereas the mss is much lower
I might come back to this in an hour after london close at 1130
Sure
@hearty rivet just to clairfy - that was referring to yesterday morning š
Lol I just saw
Iām on my way out of work and to shisha cafe
Iāll check then if god allows
Tiny scalps lol
lol
that bearish OB on 5min on the right, wanna see it flip to BB, then move my stops to BE
Today the moves were fast, if you were lucky to get in good job!
kinda scary tho lmao
ES a pain in the ass today
yeah moved my stops to BE, worried about that 5min bearish OB
technically the 1 min could still be in play if you wanted it to be....depending on which type of entry you subscribe to....the 62 or the farthest fvg.
until we get that CHoCH/MSS bearish the bullish setups presented themeslves but have yet to have valid entries
1min bearish ChoCH/MSS just triggered...thus invalidating these setups...at least that would be my understanding
is that correct @hearty rivet @night flicker @wraith wharf ? if we have the setup present itself, but have not had an official entry met and the MSS flips, it invalidates the setup?
yeah they were super fast. kinda surprising for a day with such little news
Not all ChoCh are MSS, depends on the displacement, its just internal sell side liquidity
ok then even just mss
if we have a setup one direction and no entry, and get a flip mss....is the original setup no longer valid?
We also didnt take a Buyside liquidity, that would also be in my check list for more of a MSS
well yeah
i know we are not looking for bearish play now
im just wondering about the original bullish mss that generated down low
it never had a pullback for entry
It did have an entry, just not my entry lol
but now that the mss bearish triggered....does that alone invalidate the bullish mss?
No, were still bullish
because other liquidity has not been taken
Yes
so these would still be valid then? depending on the type of entry you like
But thats not always the case. If we get a BOS here with displacement Id look for shorts, buyers couldnt hold up
Just reading how price moves and getting some sort of imbalance for scalps.
Price def looking weak
how do you get yours 15' FVG ploted on 1' chart?
I draw mine in
thx
You also have this on the PAC indicator
thx
ES really trending today..... š¤£
there we go, bearish OB flipped to breaker
Let's see if it takes out the POC
Im blinded by the light lol
ESS MSS & FVG
@barren lintel has earned the Lux Level 2 role!
It's good for you.
I still think we can go higher to take out some bearish imbalances. But now we wait for the next one
And lunch hours are upon us
Isnt it like dinner for you?
We didnt take out liquidity, so we bear flagged to discount and road it back up
Market likes to target these areas.
Yep time for a break, hopefully TP hits before PM session so I cN be done for the day lmao
And done for the month too
done for the month??
Lol yeah, you need bigger ambitions, dont want to be a big fish in a small pond.
Always stay hungry for that bread
I'd argue that one should be satisfied with achieving their monthly/weekly/daily profits as long as it pays the bills while growing capital and allows you to live an above average life, rather than potentially giving back your profits to the market by continuing trading
staying away from trading after achieving ur profits means u dont gain any more, yes, but u also don't lose any more
to each their own, don't gotta trade every day to be a full-time trader
@hardy iris has earned the Lux Level 2 role!
Agreed, I dont trade every day. I do have days I miss my trades too.
I only take 1 -3 trades a day if they match my setup.
I will scale up eventually with more capital in my bank roll but, Im just talking about mind set of never getting complacent/stagnant. Im a full time trader.
But this can go in other areas of your life
ah yeah that makes more sense, definitely shouldnt get complacent about trading
Looks like you were right š
lmao why?
hmm was that a bounce on 8 30 open
I'm no longer at my computer but that breaker block could have been a good scalp
not sure what lux are calling a breaker block
all the vidoes I've seen non of them are using it like this but maybe I haven't seen to correct one or didn't understand them
Only thing I really know and care is that the tops and bottoms of the swing candles are like support and resistance. Call it breaker/order block or whatever you want.
It's a place price either rejects or bounces
yeah its when a supply becomes a demand or vice versa
not sure it has an actual name lol
Yeah same thing lol.
Or even like an inverse FVG
are the lux breaker blocks useful? because even if they are doing it wrong if it works then it works lol
I use them every now and then but I do my best to see it with my own eyes
yeah theres many things that are almost the same but a little different
according to ICT breaker blocks are OBs that have been violated and serve as a support/resistance depending on whether it was initially a bearish or bullish block
but yes, Lux's OBs and BBs are incorrect as to where it's ranges are
i only like lux's OBs because they show volumetrics, otherwise i would just draw them myself like i used to
im guessing that was the bullish OB that turned to bearish BB
yeah the amount of buyers vs seller and the % volume vs the other OBs on the chart
yeah that's basically what it is
@wraith wharf you taking the short?
hey guys
so just different people drawing OB differently I guess
shisha time
today was a beuatiful short
Lool
Oh no I'm done for the day. Got my one nice little scalp and I have other things to do.
Packing a bowl of shisha right now lol
you 2 are shisha brothers
can you take a look though and lmk what you think?
feels valid but that drop before going back to the FVG is iffy
Bear flag on nq 5min remove all indicator to see it lol
I'd say we're still bullish
If we stay above discount I'd get out
That's nice displacement though
the short feels nice still
personally a short
What im looking at
I'd like to be at my computer to see this. I'm so slow with TA on my phone
phone TA is painful lmao
I wish it breaks that lmao
migh take a while though because of lunch
Me too tp would be 15113
I have a fancy fib I like to use you probably can't see it in this pic but if we stay above 200 then I can see us going higher, if not then we dump truck this bitch
damn thats low lmao
but I guess you on a HTF so makes sense
yeah my sel is kinda tight because of it
tight but with some room to move
Like a starburst, solid yet juicy
Ny pm
Guys I wanna ask if this Luke Strat applies to rty as well and if anybody ever used it and how was it
Yes which are mostly wrong, ICT has corrected the misconception in one of his videos from his 2022 mentorship
Oh yeah. Off and on for a while.

Whatās rty
It applies to anything that has a price
What is the Luke strat?
Based on pure ICT
Check my YouTube vid
I've seen people use it on Gold and Oil too.
Can you post it again? It is hard to find something here š
Works amazing on spx500
I've seen so many people using ICT on forex as well

Thank you
It works even on crypto
I have holidays starting this weekend if god allows
Imma be on 24/7
Trading inside a pool

Are you seeing the short I took that short on the restart of the bear flag two mnq con just for 50bucks



TP was PERFECT
Holy shot that was your trade
I closed it manually but HOLY SHIT what a trade
Amazing one michhhh

yeah
Oh god
still a bit scary ngl lol
What 5nq cons
Imagine 5 con
I will move it to 1 nq slowly
Tensely salary
50 con minimum yeah
I play with 1nq and 2 nq
and he is like "oh its 2 ticks from my sl.. migh as well just add 10 contra"
and then takes profit
5 contract in entry
yeah slowly and steady
4 on next entry
I think he moved to 10 every entry
Then 3 , 2 and then 1
thats what I've seen lately
Yeah
I've been trying a few stuff like a degen so had a few losses
but I think ICT is what I am built for
this setup
100%
I need to paper trade my other concepts
Iām never changing
ICT has been doing it for over 30+ years
I will change only after a month with my concepts working with the same or close wr to this
That you can optionally add to the setup
Yes the entry is the problem some times no pull back to fvg it just rips and create a second fvg
and thats fine.. missing trades isn't a problem
Yeah, missed the short and the first long today
everytime I don't enter on questionable trades and it goes to a win I am like "well... better than a loss"
same
I can explain the reason behind that in a video
I will make a video on SMT
You were not really with us today lol š
really powerful concept to add to your strategy
Smart money tool divergence. Itās crazy
Yes Iām using signal overlay smt but Iāve used nq and es smt in the past and canāt get a grip on it
Hmm?
Iāll make videos on SMT, volume imbalance and inverse fvg and how to use ict order block for stop loss or holding price
Yeah you didnāt take any trade today
I sure did. Go back and look for my FOMO screenshot
For real š§ lol I thought you missed all the trades
Lol nope. I was going to miss it but I got a nice small scalp. My entry should have been the 5m FVG at discount
And power of 3 and how to properly get daily bias
Even if I do miss a trade I don't mind taking a break even day
its better if I don't send you mine
you'll want to kill me lmao
And most important and first video Iāll post is
How to manually draw MSS and fvg
Manually drawn mss allows earliest possible entry
I noticed that accumilation and disctribution works nice on NQ (didn't check the others)
but on NQ many times it will be with an "angle"
I believe there was a PO3 setup last week
PO3?
Power of 3
power of 3
Accumulation, manipulation, distribution
Essentially it's chop, fake out, and reversal
oh yeah thats where I got the idea from
let me send the video I was sent
