Type of entries

1) Fair value gap:
An FVG is an area on the price chart where a gap or imbalance occurs between candlesticks. This typically happens when a price moves too quickly in one direction, leaving a gap in price where few or no trades occurred.
Trade Setup: Traders look for price to revisit this gap area, which often acts as a magnet for price to fill in the imbalance. This is seen as an opportunity to enter a trade when price retraces to this level.
Example: If the market makes a strong move upward, but there’s an area between two candlesticks where there was little to no price action, that area is an FVG. Price might retrace to fill that gap before continuing in its original direction.
2) Order block
An order block is a price zone where significant buying or selling activity occurred, often associated with institutional trading. It is typically identified as a consolidation or accumulation phase before a strong price move in one direction.
Trade Setup: When price revisits this order block, it is expected to react as support or resistance, because these blocks represent areas where large orders were placed.
Example: If a strong bullish move occurs after a consolidation phase, the consolidation area is an order block. If the price comes back down to this area, it might act as support, creating an opportunity for a long trade.
3) Breaker block
A breaker block is a previous support or resistance level that has been broken. After the price breaks through, the old support or resistance often becomes the opposite, i.e., resistance turns into support or vice versa.
Trade Setup: Traders look for price to return to the breaker block zone after the breakout. Once it re-tests the area, they anticipate the new support or resistance to hold, creating a potential entry point.
Example: If the price breaks a support level and moves lower, then revisits the broken support level, this level is now a “breaker block.” If price reacts to it as resistance on the retest, this could be a good opportunity for a short entry.

Silver bullet:

In the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) trading methodology, a silver bullet refers to a high-probability trade setup that occurs within a specific time window, typically in major trading sessions.

Silver Bullet in ICT Trading:

It represents an ideal liquidity grab or price manipulation that creates a strong move in the market. These setups often occur within the 10 AM to 11 AM New York time window (New York session) or similar structured periods in other sessions. It aligns with ICT concepts such as liquidity sweeps, order blocks, fair value gaps (FVGs), and market structure shifts.

How to Identify a Silver Bullet Trade:

Look for a Liquidity Grab - Price takes out recent highs or lows (stop hunts).

Confirm Market Structure Shift - A strong rejection or displacement in the opposite direction.

Use Fair Value Gaps (FVGs) for Entry - Enter at an imbalance where price is likely to retrace before continuing the move.
Trade Within the Timing Window - Focus on setups between 10 AM - 11AM EST.

Example Scenario:

Price sweeps liquidity above a key level at 10:05 ΑΜ.

A strong bearish engulfing candle forms, breaking short-term structure.

Price retraces into an FVG or order block around 10:20 ΑΜ.

A trader enters short, targeting the next sell-side liquidity level.

SMT

This is a method used by traders to follow the “smart money” – the big players or institutions (like banks or hedge funds) who have more market influence and resources.

Smart Money: Refers to the big institutions or experienced traders who have inside knowledge or advanced tools to make informed decisions in the market.
SMT (Smart Money Technique): A way of analyzing or trading that tries to follow what these big players are doing. The idea is that if you can spot where the smart money is going, you can also profit by trading in the same direction.
How it works:
Market Moves: Large institutions often create big market moves that smaller traders might not notice at first.
Tracking Smart Money: Using tools like volume analysis, order flow, or price action, traders try to spot these moves and predict where the “smart money” is going.
Trade with the Trend: Once you understand where the big players are investing, you can trade in the same direction, increasing your chances of success.

Flash pmi news+ liquidity + fvg
I took a short position on gold based on the Flash PMI news release. Here’s the breakdown of my trade strategy:

Upper Liquidity Sweep: Price initially took out the upper liquidity, meaning it swept above the recent highs, likely triggering stops and creating excess buying pressure. This is often a sign that the market is looking to shift direction.
Close Below: After taking out the liquidity, price closed below the key level, signaling a potential reversal. The close beneath that level shows that the buying momentum couldn’t sustain itself, and sellers might be taking control.

Waiting for FVG (Fair Value Gap): After the price action settled, I waited for a Fair Value Gap (FVG) to form. An FVG occurs when there’s an imbalance in price, often between a fast move and the market’s natural retracement. It acts as a potential zone for price to return to, before continuing its move.

Entry on FVG: Once the FVG was formed, I entered the trade, as this often serves as a strong indication that price could continue lower from there, especially after the liquidity sweep and the failed bullish momentum

Order block

Bullish Order Block: A price zone where large institutions or smart money accumulated long positions before pushing the market higher. It is generally formed during a downtrend and is typically found at the last bearish candle before a bullish move.

Bearish Order Block: A price zone where institutions accumulated short positions before the market moved lower. It is typically formed during an uptrend and is found at the last bullish candle before a bearish move.

Validity of an Order Block:

The validity of an order block is often determined by:

Price Rejection: Strong rejection or break of the

order block zone by price action, which confirms that it has significant meaning.

Market Structure: Order blocks are more valid

when they align with the broader market trend or structure.

Time: An order block loses its strength over time if price does not revisit it or it has been tested multiple times without meaningful reactions.

Liquidity sweep

A liquidity sweep happens when a trader places a very large buy or sell order, and the market can't handle it all at one price. The order "sweeps" through different prices in the order book until it is completely filled.

Buy-Side Liquidity

What is it? The number of people willing to buy an asset (buy orders).

-When it's swept: A big sell order is placed, and it uses up all the buy orders (demand) from highest to lowest prices.

What happens? The price drops because buyers at higher prices are gone, leaving only lower offers.

Example:

You want to sell 1,000 shares, but the top buyer wants only 500 shares at $10.

To sell the other 500 shares, you need to go to lower buyers offering $9 or $8.

Sell-Side Liquidity

-What is it?The number of people willing to sell an asset (sell orders).

-When it's swept: A big buy order is placed, and it uses up all the sell orders (supply) from lowest to highest prices.

What happens? The price rises because sellers at lower prices are gone, leaving only higher offers.

What is liquidity?

Liquidity means the availability of buyers and sellers in the market. It's where big players (banks and institutions) look for enough orders to execute their trades without moving the price too much. They hunt for liquidity where traders place their stop-losses or pending orders.

BSL (Buy-Side Liquidity):

This is the liquidity above high points (like swing highs or resistance levels).

- It comes from traders' buy-stop orders (e.g., people shorting the market, placing stop-losses above a high).

SSL (Sell-Side Liquidity):

This is the liquidity below low points (like swing lows or support levels).

- It comes from traders' sell-stop orders (e.g., people going long, placing stop-losses below a low).

How to Trade

1. Look for key highs and lows where traders place stop-losses.

2. Wait for price to hit those levels (BSL or SSL) this is where big players "grab liquidity."

3. Look for signs of reversal (like sharp price movements or new trends starting).

4. Enter in the direction of the new trend after the liquidity grab.
