ICT Forex - Higher Time Frame Concepts

• Key Levels
o yearly highs & lows = we ll be looking as a rolling calendar from whatever today is go back 12
months whatever the highest high and the lowest low use as a reference points
o monthly highs and lows = we're gonna look at the last three months high and low & previous
month high & low
o weekly highs and lows = we ll be looking at previous week highs & lows

• Price rejections
o Double top sweeps= sweep relative equal highs, get rejected and trade lower
o Double bottom sweeps = sweep relative equal lows, get rejected and trade higher
o Run on old lows (turtle soup) = means running out a previous low and then rejecting that
going higher
o runs on old highs = means running out a previous high and then rejecting that going lower

o first and foremost you want to see that where the price is trading right now, is it in a
trending model or in a trading range market
o look at what was the most recent run on liquidity
o Certain times of the year we will trend, certain times we will consolidate
o price is fractal that means the things that we would see and expect to see unfold in the
lower timeframes just not tied to any real time element we would still expect the same
phenomenon to occur on higher timeframe
o from the below example of DXY [Dollar index] We can expect the market to be bullish for a
retracement back up and/or reversal since we’ve been bearish all year

o Double bottoms/tops, old highs and old lows, yearly high & quarterly high / lows (vertical
lines) are shown in the example
o If we expect bullish on the dollar, we can expect USDJPY also to get higher
o Price trades below that low left to the red circle and comes back up above the blue line at
the yellow circle. Once that happens you would look for an old high or equal highs to reach
for
o basically all you're gonna be looking for our obvious double tops and double bottoms and
single highs and single lows and where the market most recently came from just find the
opposite direction where the liquidity would be below the lows
