Intraday Liquidity/ICT

Verdict

Not backtestable — no mechanical strategy to test. Discretionary price-action / ICT framework (fair-value gaps, liquidity sweeps, SMT divergences, 'change of state') with no mechanical entry rules; not backtestable.

We only score videos that teach a rule-based strategy (a defined entry trigger, stop and exit a computer could follow). This one doesn't contain one, so there is nothing to backtest — we show no number rather than a made-up one.

in this video I'm going to show you the model that genuinely does not fail now this is one of those models that every single time that I go into the market I'm constantly looking for this setup I'm constantly looking for this trade now subcon whether it's either subconsciously or I'm looking for it this is the highest probability trade that I am constantly looking for in the market that the reason why I'm saying it genuinely doesn't fail is because I don't have enough data of it failing because it works so well and this is why I'm calling it The forever model this is something that you should be looking for every time that you come into the market that in my opinion is a high quality opportunity and I want to basically tell you exactly why it's so high quality like genuinely what the market is doing that makes this so high quality and how to actually see this on the charts and what it actually looks like now the forever model needs number one some sort of manipulation so we need to see a liquidity sweep either buy side or sell side or we need to be in some sort of bigger time frame in in efficiency like rebalancing to a fair value Gap and then from there we can look for manipulation which will get into in a second the next thing we need is an inverse fair value Gap if we are moving higher we want to see us go lower first to manipulate before going higher if we think we're going lower I want to see us go higher first before we go lower and that is what I'm looking for an inverse fair value gap which is a fair value Gap to get ran through in the opposing Direction of the manipulation leg after that most of the time I want to combine an inverse ver Val Gap with a change in the state a change in the state normally will come after a inverse for Value Gap because it's displacing through the inefficiency and if it's displacing through the inefficiency that means I want to see it also displace through the series of up Clos or down Clos Candles now next is ant which is optional now an smt is normally the first thing that gets put in so the smt would actually be first on this list or second because we would want to be seeing that as added confirmation now we don't need an smt but an smt means it's A++ opportunity and the last thing is we need opposing liquidity now again the market moves for four reasons hunt liquidity rebalance to inefficiencies rebalance to equilibrium and generate liquidity so there's no reason I should be taking this trade if there's no reason for the market to move to where I expect it to meaning there needs to be either an imbalance or some sort of opposing liquidity pool that I'm targeting internal now I want to draw this out and basically show you exactly what this trade looks like now this is what a bearish example of this model looks like now of course the first thing that we're looking for is manipulation right but in an imbalance so what's the exactly manipulation that's happening here well we're back to OT right we're in an area in which we expect to manipulate what do I mean by that I always want to say I always say that right because that's the first thing that's important we're in an area in which I expect to manipulate why do I expect to to manipulate here because we're at OT we're in a bigger time frame fair value Gap there's generated cell side below us right for us to move higher or for us to move lower we must move higher so we have this big move lower we rebalance to then set up for a move lower so the next thing that gets put in is this smt like we talked about NQ or ES depending on what we're looking at we're looking for a Divergence in price meaning this smt is saying NQ did not make a higher high in fact it made a lower high and on ES we made a higher high so on ES we would have taken this previous high and NQ did not so we have an inefficiency we have an smt and we have a stop rate now recent High gets taken then we're looking for what we're looking for is is what our entry would be based off of which is our inverse for Val Gap and a change in the state now there's multiple ways to take an entry with this though you can see Market runs through an inverse for got meaning there's a bullish inefficiency here that gets ran through to the downside and it's in favor of the draw on liquidity right there's equal lows resting below us it's in favor of the draw right we have a market maker clear sell model this smt is validating it and now that we've had a inverse fair value Gap and a change in the state I can look to take a short now there's multiple ways I can take this entry I can either number one take it as soon as this fair value G gets ran through right boom Fair gets ran through stop at the high Target sell side right that's number one or I can wait for the pull back to the fair value Gap meaning if we were just to come back down to here and we pull back to the inefficiency I can then take a short here on the inverse for R up once it's been ran through even if there hasn't been a change in the state yet but the best and most highest probability entry would be if there was already a change in the state and the inverse and you able to pull back to that and that's normally the entry that I would be looking for but there's multiple ways to enter it so get displacement inverse for Value Gap pull back to the change in the state or the fair value Gap whatever it is and this is a high probability setup now let's look at a bullish example and then we'll get into some real trade examples now this would be a bullish example of this exact same model right we have a market pulling back to an an efficiency back to OT of this previous big leg up and smt gets put in inside the imbalance internal manipulation here recent low gets taken we run through a fair value Gap with a change in the state again in favor of the draw liquidity this is when we want to be overlapping price right because you might be asking myself you might be asking me Justin what time frame do I use price is completely fractal it doesn't matter what time frame you use it could be a 15sec it could be a one minute a 30 minute a 15 minute an hour a 4 Hour whatever it is price is completely fractal now what you should be do doing though is if I'm looking for this model there should be enough information to the left of me to tell me more reasoning why we should go higher now what does that mean that means that there's a bigger time frame buy side level resting above us and there's more structure and more reason as to why we should go there right and this is how we can overlap models and what this basically means is for example let's say this is a 4-Hour time frame if this is a 4-Hour time frame I want to be looking for this exact same model in areas in which i' manipulate which would be right here we've displaced higher this becomes my cell side then I would be looking for look this smt at the low there's probably an inefficiency here or there's this breaker or the change in the state then I look for the inefficiency to get ran through on this lower time frame right here once that gets ran through you look for the inefficiency and you take a long and that's another way to view it right you're always trying to overlap the biases now let me show you guys some actual trade examples of this model now this is example without an smt and the reason I'm doing this one first is because I actually took this trade on Friday last week and this is exactly what this model is so as you can see looking at this chart we look at the bigger time frame there's a reason for the market to go lower right there's sell side resting below if I'm looking at the bigger time frame we have a bigger time frame sell side level right here and going into the morning we have big displacement to the downside and we pull back to an inefficiency so we're back in the fair value Gap then what manipulation internal High gets taken then what fair value Gap gets ran through to the downside then what series of up closed candles right here gets closed below so then is there a reason for price to go lower yes because there's bigger time frame draw resting below and we have all of this generated cell side from the morning all these equal lows low here we've done the job manipulated higher so then what do you do as your entry wait for the pull back to the change in state or the inverse stop at the recent high and you target sside liquidity let's look at another example now this would be another example but it looks a little different but again it's still the same thing bigger time frame manipulation right some sort of sell-side liquidity is taken to the left of us there's an smt that gets put in at the lows there's a five minute fair value Gap that gets broken to the upside then we put on our change in the state which is our last series of down close candles and we take a long and we what again Target internal liquidity long stop below the fale Gap internal liquidity and this ends up playing out beautifully again looking at es es makes a lower low andq makes a higher low F Gap gets ran through and we run all the way to the internal buy side now again let's look at some more more examples here's another example again with no smt we're looking for a fair value Gap to get ran through and a change in the state now what is a change in the state is the last series of up closed candles to get displaced and closed below so what happens here is all of this low resistance liquidity that is happening in forming on NQ we run all of it if we zoom in here we can see our last series of up closed candles is right here and what ends up happening five minute fair value Gap both of these fair value gaps because we always if there's two five minutes here we want to group them together both of these get ran through with the change in the state after buy Sid's taken pull back to the change in the state enter short stop at the recent high and you target the opposing liquidity pool all of these equal lows and resting generated liquidity that gets created on this move to the downside now I want to show you and tell you why this works why are we entering after an inverse ver Val Gap because it's lack of order flow in direction of the opposing liquidity meaning if we want to go higher and if the market is drawing towards buy side order flow is going to re respect bullish imbalances every single time that we look in price action here and say oh fair value Gap gets ran through to the upside oh why does it get ran over the upside because we're going to go draw higher what holds bullish this bullish Fair Val Gap we open up bullish we hold it we manipulate to the upside right low gets taken for us to move higher because price must move lower for us to move higher we go take the recent low then move higher manipulation and then when we see a change in order flow we see those bullish imbalances getting disrespected this fair value Gap gets ran through to the downside the extra confirmation is the change in the state of delivery and as we if we have buy side taken or sells side taken and there's an inefficiency to the left of us and there's a reason for price to go lower again zoom out order flow has been bearish this whole week when you apply narrative when you apply context to the way that you are viewing it it is going to do nothing but continue to provide success for you you have to align it though this this is not like oh you look for a change in the state in a fair Val Gap and you're going to be magically printing now you will still get good setups but when you can view to align the context is when you will print you have to align where is the market drawing towards because that's the logic trading needs to have logic what is the logic behind why are you entering the trade if we know the market is ran by an algorithm which means we hunt liquidity rebounds to inefficiencies rebounds to equilibrium and generate liquidity then the reason I'm entering a trade must have that reason why is the reason for this the drawn liquidity on the bigger time frame is lower why because all of the order flow is respecting bearish imbalances we sell off rebalance respect it we don't have an all a big move back higher move lower rebalance right the Favi Gap if I zoom out and I look at this move every single Fai Gap that gets moved to the downside here is all respected there's no breaks there's no anything and we continue to sell off and all of the bullish imbalances on the bigger time frame you look at the 4 Hour 4 hour for R Gap right here ran through four hour for R Gap right here ran through both of the bullish imbalances broke through which means what we're going to draw towards cell side look at order flow so when you can learn to align this by intraday looking for smts looking for manipulation right if you want price to go lower look for it to go higher first and lack displacement because if we're going to manipulate it means we're going to lack displacement that is what manipulation means lack displacement every time that we manipulate at we lack displacement every single time high gets taken why is this manipulation we lack displacement because then what happens we go to the opposing liquidity pool buy side swept where do we go opposing liquidity pool which is the recent low oh buy side swept recent High what do we do high gets taken build price build price but guess what this high is continuously protected until what the recent low is taken because then what we generate liquidity right what is the market constantly doing oh we're generating all of this liquidity to then what set up for a manipulation to then what go to theing liquidity pool that's already been built up that's all it is so low resistance liquidity we build a range we run all of that buy Side High gets taken changing the state for Value Gap Target the opposing liquidity because this entire move as well we're not just generating buy side we're generating sell side to then what have a speed and efficient price action move towards the opposing liquidity pool on the bigger time frame as well so the reason why this model is set up for that is because when you get a change in the state and an inverse for Value Gap it is the most validation and if you were add an smt it is the most validation for what the market is actually doing that is the logic behind it this isn't an indicator this isn't support and resistance there's logic behind why this happens and if you believe that it's not and you're like Justin you're full of this doesn't work then you simply have not seen it enough it is literally blasphemy to say that I'm wrong if you haven't even put in the time to look at it if you do it right now and and listen to my words that I'm telling you right now go in your charts and start back testing this and if you actually actually go back test and you listen and you take the time to go look for this in your charts you will be mind blown you'll be mind- blown now it's up to you to actually go do that I've given you the tools this has made me extremely successful it is 12 days into January we've pretty much only really had one full week of trading I'm already up 25k and every trade pretty much that I've taken that has worked out again all the other trades that I haven't taken like any trade that I took on the day where I maybe over traded that was a less of a good setup that lost me every win that I've taken and everything that has made me successful in my trading the last this is it this is it and this year I will be sizing up using this model I will be sizing up this is my model this is the forever model this is it there is nothing better than this genuinely there is literally nothing better than this genuinely I've been doing this for 5 years this is the go-to this is it now if you were to look at this setup and you were to say Justin what's what what what could be better about this setup the only thing that could be better about the short that I'm literally showing you right now is this that's what could be better this is A++ A++ A++ and again this smt could be this it could be this it doesn't matter in smt in an area in which we already expect that's why it's optional but if this was to add here it's extra conviction there a better setup so I ask of you go in your charts look for this test it start executing it on the actual markets and I guarantee you you're going to start paying pay and I'm giving you this for free I'm literally giving you this for free I'm posting it on YouTube this is for you I'm not charging for this go go out there and literally milk the markets because you're going to start back testing and you're going to be watching this you're and you're literally going to be mind blown so the forever model there's a reason why it's called Forever you really don't need anything else besides this go trade it if you take some setups go tag me on Instagram go tag me on Twitter I want to see you guys taking the setup take some trades at me on Twitter at Justin warline show me the trades you guys are saying # forever model because I just gave you sauce go take it go back test it if you think I'm full of go look for it in the markets and I guarantee you you're going to be eyes opened so hopefully you guys enjoyed this video I won't take too much of your time go back test it go right into the charts right now change in the state inverse now if you're like if you're brand new to this and you're like Justin I don't know what an inverse for Value Gap is I don't know what a change in the state is I don't know what liquidity is I don't know what an smt is I have all those videos on my YouTube search for them I have liquidity I have manipulation I have inverse gaps I have smts go look for all of it it's all in my disc it's all in my all on my YouTube or you can join tactical Traders and get all of that literally in front of your face and you have literally everything you can need and watch me able to live trade you can watch me live trade every single day in my Discord in the Discord I live trade do charting sessions answer questions and we're trading this literally on live if you want to watch me trade this exact model live like I did on Friday click the link in the description let me help you if you're currently struggling with overtrading you keep having a win maybe for two weeks and then keep giving it back these are the things that we keep seeing in the community you're winning for a couple weeks and then immediately give it back for through from maybe three days because you lack the discipline to actually follow your rules maybe you don't even have the right system you don't even have rules in place you can't even trust yourself to follow them you keep blowing up funded accounts right when you're about to pass them because you don't know what to do and you don't know what the problem is or you know what the problem is and you don't know how to fix it that is what tactical Traders is for it's for me to keep you accountable kick your ass and literally make you the best Trader possible like I have hundreds of students before if you're interested about tactical Traders click the link in the description go back
