 The stage for this model , we're gonna look for a liquidity draw

The setup is going to be a buy side of a market maker profile

The pattern is going to be fair value

⚠ Now before getting to the lecture Some of the newbies / fake ICT
influencers gonna say this is MMBM lecture , nah its not. This model is
specifically focussed on the buyside expansion of the price on both MMSM
& MMBM , Which means you can trade both the curves of the market in
MMBM & MMSM

You can trade this model from seconds chart to the monthly chart , From
position trader to the ultra scalper the rules are same. That makes this model
“Universalˮ

As we mentioned earlier this is not MMBM lecture this is specifically dealing with
the buyside expansion of the price on both MMBM & MMSM

That means we got 2 scenarios to see this buyside expansion

Buyside expansion on MMSM

Buyside expansion on MMBM lets

dive deep into each scenarios

 In this scenario our bias is bearish & We have some inkling that the market's going
to trade up to that level to reverse. Now, that level relative to whatever timeframe
you're looking at could be any premium PDA

With that assumption that we have a DOL above us in the form of a premium array

Now first stage of the MMXM always be in the form of some sort of
consolidation to build some liquidity on the both sides of the market

Next stage would either be a manipulation / an expansion. Any one of them

would happen after a consolidation , Now we always try to avoid trading in
this phase as we are uncertain about the outcome

Once price starts to expand to our DOL most of the times we would see our
first retracement for the further movement. With proper application of
Premium discount concepts & PDAʼs we can frame an entry on that first
retracement as our DOL is a above the market price

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 If you miss the 1st phase expansion wait for the 2nd phase retracement. You
can frame a setup on that 2nd phase retracement with proper application of
premium discount concepts & PDAʼs as price would expand later.

ICT said that most of the times price would do a 2 phase expansion to get into
the level it want to reverse in the buyside expansion of the MMSM. A 3rd
phase expansion is less likely to happen

Once you reach the DOL to reverse you collapse the trade in the buyside
expansion of the MMSM

Buyside expansion on MMBM

In this case, we've seen a market in consolidation. It broke down. We didn't see
any of that. It just caught us off guard. But we see it trade down to a logical level
of support / a discount array to reverse.

Once price trades into that level of support / a discount array we would anticipate
a rally from that point to the equal highs / original consolidation. This is our range
of opportunity

Now we don't have to take entry on the SMR level , rather than picking that
bottom we would be waiting for the 1st phase retracement to frame an entry with
the proper application of the premium & discount concepts / PDAʼs

If we miss that 1st phase retracement for the entry we would be waiting for the
2nd phase retracement to frame an entry with the proper application of the
premium & discount concepts / PDAʼs

Now once price clears out the EQHʼs we would collapse the trade

Now lets take a look at the examples here -

Ex 1

As mentioned on the above we can see the consolidation here with really clean
build up of the liquidity

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 Now the DOL here is that weekly level marked on the chart

We can see the first retracement to the OB for further impulse move

On the 2nd retracement it has traded into a FVG for further expansion

You can frame a trade on both scenario's here

 This lecture gives you a little bit more insights on how to pair the timeframes
within the fractal & frame out low resistance liquidity runs

The stage is a liquidity draw , That means we have to know where price is
reaching up to

The setup is going to be a buy side liquidity draw / in other words buy set ups
within a market maker profile

The pattern itself we're looking for is fair value , the fair value pattern is either
going to be in the form of a FVG , filling the liquidity void / running sell stops.
So our pattern is one of those 3 things

As we mentioned on earlier episode this is not MMBM lecture this is specifically

dealing with the buyside expansion of the price on both MMBM & MMSM That
means we got 2 scenarios to see this buyside expansion

PA Model-6 Universal trading model-Buyside expansion ] 8

 Buyside expansion on MMSM

Buyside expansion on MMBM lets dive

deep into each scenarios here

1 Buyside expansion on MMSM

You have to understand where the market's most likely to be drawn into & you
have to know are we at a current market price that would present a discount array
to rally price up to that premium array / that buy side liquidity draw

Between those two points we will be identifying 1/2 setups

Now this is a market maker sell model & we're using the buy side of the curve.
Before it turns & reverses , everything to the left of the reversal point is our range.
We're trading between where we believe there is a discount array up to our
targeted premium array

What we're looking at is the market rally up to create a selling opportunity. We can
participate in the rally up because we know what the level is they're likely to reach
for that creates a later term sell-off

💎 The higher timeframe scenarios tend to have 2 stage / 2 opportunities to

go long before it reaches the premium array , The lower timeframes tend
to just go in one move up

PA Model-6 Universal trading model-Buyside expansion ] 9

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 So in other words if this was a W / D / 4hr chart generally you'll see 2
opportunities Anything less than 4hr it can create just 1 opportunity to
get in to that premium array & reverse for the MMSM

So we're anticipating a rally in the weekly chart that will form a later likely sell off.
Now our interest is only on the buy side of the curve

Now on MMSM we have 3 opportunities to look for buys , 2 of them was on the
buyside of the curve & 1 is on the sell side of the curve

Phase 1 retracement buy opportunity Phase 2 retracement buy opportunity

Buy leg on the sell side curve of MMSM phase 2

Primarily we're looking for some measure of consolidation initially & then a run out
of that consolidation [ never engage in trade at this phase of the market ]

Then we'll find our first entry on the 1st phase retracement after price run out
of the consolidation Now if you grade the whole price swing from the start of
the buyside curve to where its probably reaching up to reverse , the 1st phase
retracement trade opportunity happens around 20 30% of the whole price
swing level Grading price swing into quadrants concept is what we have
used here ]

On the second buying opportunity If the FIB projections , 1.27 / 1.68 extensions
aligns with that premium array for your buy-side liquidity draw ,then you know
that this is a really good opportunity to enter a trade with targets at that
Premium array Remember HTF charts tends to create this 2 phase moves
while LTF charts wont need to have 2 phase expansion as we discussed
earlier ]

Once price reverses & starts to break down , if it trades below the phase 1
reaccumulation area of the buyside curve , many times it will reach for the sell
stops that would be resting right below stage one reaccumulation Thatʼs our
3rd buying opportunity

PA Model-6 Universal trading model-Buyside expansion ] 10

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 Obviously during the sellside of the curve price has to retrace & that 2nd
phase retracement to the sell stops of the 1st phase accumulation on the
buyside of the curve is used here

Buying this point by setting targets to the low on the buyside curves phase 1
stops is the 3rd entry we would be framing on MMSM

if you're not comfortable with holding swing trades / position trades , if you have a
clear weekly DOL level & you expect price to be drawn into that level

Grade the whole anticipated price swing into quadrants & if you are in between
the 20 80% of the whole price swing you can frame buys on Monday , Tuesday ,
Wednesday

You can frame entry on the 1st phase expansion & hold before 2nd phase
retracement

Take another entry on 2nd phase retracement & hold it till the terminus

Also you can use these 2 entry points to pyramid your entry

Now everything said above is same for this timeframe also & try to incorporate the daily & weekly
profiles for more precision

2 Buyside expansion on MMBM

Here we're looking for a discount array to find some measure of buying & our
terminus will be the LQ pool resting above EQHʼs. We're focusing on the buy side
of the curve here & you'll see either a 1 stage / 2 stage move , depending upon the
market condition & timeframe of MMXM

PA Model-6 Universal trading model-Buyside expansion ] 12

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 ❓ Now how to anticipate whether its gonna have a 2 stage movement / not
?

Now before 2nd stage retracement if there is only 30 pips left to reach
up to the terminus we wont see any sl raids / 2nd phase retracements ,
price would just accelerate towards the terminus

🚫 We don't need to take any entries on the SMR levels , you have to wait
for the 1st phase retracement to frame entries

Fractal nature of MMXM Inside the MMXM you can see small fractals of MMXM ,
if you have clear -cut HTF analysis & idea about next possible DOL you can trade
that small fractals on both side of the market

Now on MMBM we have 2 buying opportunities here , both of them was on the
buyside curve of the MMBM

1st phase retracement buying opportunity

2nd phase retracement buying opportunity Most of the times It wont be seen
on LTF MMBMʼs ]

PA Model-6 Universal trading model-Buyside expansion ] 13

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 Price can further expand 10 30 pips after meeting the terminus so either you can
collapse the whole trade / leave something for higher targets

💎 We would be using the reclaimed OB to line up with the retracement

entry levels of the buyside curve of the MMBM , that's a high probability
scenario

⚠ Basically this episode is an example discussion episode nothing new has

been taught here everything is the application of what we have learned
through out our ICT journey. Rather than looking at my explanations try to
understand the chart & logic here

The whole logic behind the trade was based on the 3 elements which is ,

Seasonal tendency

COT Data

HTF analysis

Looking at seasonal tendency of USDX & Swiss franc here

PA Model-6 Universal trading model-Buyside expansion ] 14

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 As you can see from the start of the October USDX have a strong seasonal
tendency to rally & Swiss franc have a strong seasonal tendency to fall. So early
October would be a really good time to trade the USDCHF pair with a bullish bias

Looking at COT data to agree with the seasonal tendency

He plotted the 12 month worth of COT data of the swiss franc & divided that range
in to half. As you see the commercials was bearish on the swiss franc which
supports our seasonal tendency bias

HTF analysis

Looking at the USDCHF chart

Monthly chart

EQHʼs as DOL as price traded into the MT of the Monthly OB

PA Model-6 Universal trading model-Buyside expansion ] 15

t.me/ICT_NoteTaking
 Weekly chart

Price traded into that weekly discount OB for further expansion here & also you
can see that EQHʼs as DOL

Daily chart

Price mitigated that refined monthly OB level & given a SMR

 4hr chart

Once SMR happened we can hunt for the setups here with proper application of
the P03,KZ..etc

1Hr chart

You can see the MMBM here , by blending what we have taught on the model 6 &
other previous models you can easily frame a trade once SMR happened

Here he was discussing the position trading example for the Model 6 , he was just
explaining the chart , the logic behind the trade isnʼt shared here

 Trade Plan :-

There's essentially 5 steps to every trading plan ,

Preparation It's usually when patience is being applied , & what are you
basically waiting for, what are you doing with your time ?

Opportunity discovery So once you see something that is developing

okay , the opportunity has been discovered because of your experience of
studying price delivery

Trade planning Once you understand the framework that you're looking
at , you are going to trade your plan

Trade execution Once you have your opportunity & you've prepared &
you've planned the trade framework, then you want to execute on the
trade

 Trade management Where do I put my stop & when should I take profits ?

Now you don't have to thoroughly follow these trading plan , you can alter this for
yourself with this 5 stages for trading plan but don't make it complicated , make it
short & simple

Preparation :-

Anticipating a weekly profile to unfold by considering the current market

structure & upcoming medium & high impact news drivers

Understanding your dealing range using the IPDA data ranges

The reason why we're going to be looking at the 20, 40, & 60 is because this is a
universal trade model, so it's allowing us to trade in multiple time frames. So this
begins with the 20 day look back, & then 40 day, & then 60 day, depending upon
what time frame you're using
