IPDA:- Interbank Price Delivery Algorithm
This is a concept introduced by ICT (Inner Circle Trader), and it’s the foundation of how institutions move price in the financial markets.
✅ What IPDA REALLY Means:
It’s the idea that the market is not random—it follows a structured algorithm used by large financial institutions (interbanks) to:
• Hunt liquidity
• Trap retail traders
• Deliver price to pre-determined targets (like FVGs, old highs/lows, imbalance zones)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
🧠 Think of it like this:
IPDA is like Google Maps for big banks—they follow a route. The route includes fakes, traps, and setups all designed to fill their massive orders without moving the market inefficiently.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
📊 IPDA Works in Time-Based Phases:
Here’s how it usually plays out:
1. Asia Session – Low volume, tight consolidation (accumulation of orders)
2. London Session – Market manipulates price (liquidity grabs, stop hunts)
3. New York Session – True price delivery toward key targets
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔁 Repeat Daily:
The IPDA repeats over and over again in every session, on every time frame. If you learn to read it, you can predict where price is likely to go before it even moves.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
🔍 Example:
• You see equal highs (liquidity pool)
• Market drops during London to fake out longs
• NY session pushes up to sweep that liquidity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
💥 Why It Matters:
Most retail traders get stopped out because they don’t understand why price moves the way it does. IPDA gives you the "why" behind the move.
