@gwdeneke@RapidRepricing hi could you please provide some details on this ? i am trying to understand his strategy. couldnot get correctly sofar. Appreciate your time. ty
@GhostExecutes what to look for in this diagram please ? thank you.
All i can see on my chart is 2.16 fib level as i can relate only that from my knowledge
After studying ICT for years, I finally found ICT’s secret sauce for High Probability Shorts.
Understand the sequence. Then look for it on your charts.

@RapidRepricing Do you mind to explain a bit more on this please ?
trade should be executed after 3.36(top on your chart) + .36 min ? and execute long ?
Look at where the weekly candlestick is most likely to go, then switch to the Daily and look at where the daily candlestick is most likely to go.
Then use the 6H to verify whether you’re right.
After that, validate everything above and take your entry using Quarter Sequence.

1# PD Arrays:
1. Old High and Old Low
2. Gaps
These are the key level you need to confirm High of the day / Low of the day for continuation ✅
📌 Invalidation Refinement - 🌪
The core logic relies on managing risk by moving your "goalpost" (invalidations) as price unfolds and confirms specific signatures.
1. Core Workflow for Continuation
📍 Higher Timeframe (HTF) Range:
Start by marking the Equilibrium (EQ) of the previous candle's range. Your goal is to see the next candle find support in the upper half (for bullish expansion), which naturally forces a smaller wick and signifies institutional expansion.
🔧 Refinement:
Drop to the 1-hour or 4-hour timeframe to identify key levels near the opening price: Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Order Blocks, or relevant swing lows.
✅ Validation of Key Levels:
Once price hits a key level, demand a swing point and immediate expansion away. If price fails to expand and hangs around, it is treated as consolidation rather than a reversal.
2. The "Two-Chance" Rule
1️⃣ First Chance:
A swing point formation from your key level.
2️⃣ Second Chance:
If the first fails, look for the manipulation of the swing point low itself. This creates a protected swing. If price fails to hold this, the trade idea is invalidated.
3. Managing the "Goalpost"
🎯 Moving Invalidation:
As price expands away from a key level, it leaves behind new signatures (like a Change in State of Delivery or CSD). Once price closes through these, they become your new, tighter invalidation points
🔄 Relevant vs. Failure Swings:
A swing is only "relevant" if it is spaced significantly from others. Don't trade away from failure swings (close-proximity lows), as these are often just liquidity for the next leg.
4. Profiling Context
🌏 Session Timing:
If the low of the day is printed during the Asia/London sessions, use higher timeframe CSDs (1-hour/30-minute) for confirmation.
⚡ High Volatility/News:
If the reversal occurs during volatile New York open times (e.g., 9:30 AM), rely on lower timeframe CSDs as price will likely not retrace deep enough for HTF structures to form.
❗ Why This Matters
By focusing on these specific 1H/4H levels, you avoid "hanging around" in consolidation. If price fails to expand immediately from these refined points, the market is likely in a consolidation phase rather than a true expansion phase.

On August 6th I knew the exact MINUTE the low of the move would form.
Not the zone. Not the window. The minute.
It printed at 9:40 and the chart told me the number 30 minutes earlier.
Here's how the market timestamps its own reversals. 🧵
