Inner Circle Trader concepts — liquidity, fair value gaps, order blocks and killzones — explained with practical, rule-based entries.
A rule-based walkthrough of the ICT trading strategy — liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts, fair value gaps and killzones — with entry, stop and target rules.
What a fair value gap is, how to identify valid FVGs, and a rule-based strategy for trading them — with entries, stops, targets and the filters that matter.
ICT (Inner Circle Trader) is a set of price-action concepts popularised by Michael J. Huddleston. It focuses on where liquidity rests, such as stops above old highs and below old lows, and on how price reacts after that liquidity is taken.
The core ideas are liquidity sweeps, market structure shifts, fair value gaps (FVGs), order blocks and “killzones”, the time windows around the London and New York opens when these setups tend to form.
The concepts are discretionary, so write down exact rules for entry, stop and target, and test them before trading live.
