important thing to know
our daily bias not always will work as we expect.
if stop out that mean the day bias is wrong and take a loss is not a big deal,
and MM is the key to surviv and success.

central bank, fed is no. 1 king
no. 2 is red news event and event like war or important persons speech
furthermore cad red news also played a part in putting usd down

is not bias is wrong
these events can make whatever pattern, whatever indicators, whatever bias, be thrown out of the window
for all we know the other end of the week has not been taken out
it is just ranging and temporary, trend can continue next week
or even can happen when new york return from lunch

actually not suitable to trade every single day
there is time of day for the day to trade
there is one for weekly too
friday beware of reversal day.
Quoting Inthebox
price pulling to d1 bsl above however being friday, do not know whether will end up as doji and continue upward next week {image}

if one take notice on ict
he does not trade on 8.30 news for stock indices
when 9.30 new york stock exchange opens, he would monitor wait and see.

for nasdaq, there was one opportunity to short according to day bias, for about 50-60 pips after nyse opens.

extracted from my notes relating to the subject of this thread.

Market Structure - Advanced Price Action

No. 1 question to ask before sitting down in front of the chart.
what is the current market narrative?
what is it likely to be doing right now. do not care about pattern or price action.

only 2 questions:
1. is it likely to go up for liquidity stops or go down for liquidity stops, or
2. go higher to rebalance or lower to rebalance
eg. from the d1 chart. likely to run below the sellside liquidity from above fvg after rebalancing (the next chart below)
although price did not reach final target, the bias itself had already served its purpose of getting enough pips on the way down.

But the daily range will not always submit to the bullish or bearish right from opening
sometimes you have the intraday consolidation or red news events
Should the h1 long term high low be broken, then daily analysis may be wrong
therefore you need more information to study the price action

be receptive to the clue that price is giving you
if you are stubborn and keep holding onto the trade thinking that the daily range is going to keep going lower
but price turned on you

I'm trying to get my head around this ICT stuff (still a few weeks of youtubing to go ..), but cant fathom why price should be "drawn to" an imbalance.

I can see which it should be drawn to buy/sell stops (because stop orders, unlike limit order are inherently exploitable) but what is the motivation for an unscrupulous market maker to drive the price into an imbalance?
