The Long and Winding Road of Trading Journey

i have been watching 2022 ict mentorship and did not complete any series before that.
now it's easier to watch and understand those older videos better.

1. it is not necessary to know whether price is going to continue or reverse.
2. to find profitability and consistent set ups, all we are looking for is the run on liquidity.
knowing that liquidity acts like a magnet which may draw price into them.
3. upon reaching liquidity, reaccess whether it is likely to be continuation, reversal or consolidation.

Really nice charts. Reasonable. Logical.

ICT has loads of videos and I've been trying to filter which are simple to understand and tradeable. Do you have any suggesting which to start with which helped you?

first and foremost you have to look through all of 2022 ict mentorship because he explained them in details and lesser off topic.
what i am going to do now is to go through his youtube playlists and watch them backwards, ie the newer ones first.

I have a few questions on your charts:

For green question mark, is there a reason why you didn't mark this up? Maybe you did but it wasn't relevant since it traded up to top liquidity?

For the yellow question mark, why did you mark up this area?

I always thought that if a FVG has been touched (daily 9/3 and 10/3), it wasn't a FVG anymore?

I'm a ICT noob so if my questions are ridiculous just ignore

liquidity could have been lying on top of 11mar high, but not much.
the rejection down was around 20 pips and then shot up.

after the 15mar high was broken, price retraced down to the order block.
in a run up market, any down closed candle should be viewed as a potential candidate for long.

the video showed that price can still ding dong within the fvg. probably there were large orders or stops not fully executed.

The reason you showed this Weekly is to show Week liquidity at A?

So B is a stop run of buyers stop orders and sellers breakout traders, of 176 points, correct?

Thanks for link. Binge watching now. Have a good weekend.

correct.
but it does not necessary mean that price will seek out the liquidity above.
1. if u look further left there's a breaker.
2. compare last 2 candles. lower high lower low.
3. may be a support later turned resistance.
4. last week candle high needs to be broken before thinking of long.

Gold thoughts - Advanced QML potential?
Yesterday daily inside bar - took a nice wick rejection from 1918 but wasnt enough to break last daily high (Friday), didnt also break Fridays low (on some brokers it did actually, on some didnt, so kinda sketchy (stops still there) and since we didnt break Fridays high either, probabilities of going back lower are pretty high I think).
so expecting even bigger volatility today and/or tomorrow. Watching London and NY closely.
Also being aware that the war situation might change/news affecting.

gold daily yesterdays inside bar, didnt break lows, didnt break highs either after that spike up -too early/liquidity/orders still left down there probably?

Yeh, thanks - I respect it, but i find it a bit sketchy, Im aware of that imbalance & OB retest going on right now, just not comfortable placing SL around 1920 area and dont really want wider also, its like a double bottom still, id like to see that level get cleared out first, if not and that still runs away then im totally fine missing that trade as well, but I think they wanna still "destroy" that level, well see.

End of scalping for today, highest targets reached aka liquidity taken exactly like I wanted to see.

So far right on the track, really nice momentum, watching closely if it wants to suddenly expand few hundred pips more.
Moving the stops with the lowertimeframe structure instead of closing too early does wonders here.
So far 3 daily highs taken out in a row.

Just pure price action reading & candlesticks. No need to use any indicators at all.
Not excatly sure what You meant with the "inside chart order"? If You meant the annotations on the chart then Tradingview basic drawing tools - rectangles, horizontal lines etc to mark up intresting areas.
