ICT Strategy

The ICT (inner Circle Trader) strategy is an institutional price action methodology focused on market structure, liquidity, and order flow. It interprets price as a tool used by institutions to seek liquidity and rebalance inefficiencies.

Based on concepts such as Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and premium/discount zones, ICT avoids lagging indicators and relies on precise, high probability‘ execution models combined with strict risk management.

Breaker block :

A breaker blocks a price zone formed when an order block is broken by the market and switches its role: from support to resistance, or vice versa

It represents an area where price often returns for a retest before continuing the move, offering high-probability entries in trend continuation scenarios.

OTE

OTE (Optimal Trade Entry) is a high-probability entry zone based on Fibonacci retracements, typically between the 61.8% and 79% levels of a price swing.

it is used to enter trades during a pullback within a strong trend, aiming for optimal risk-to-reward.

Order Blocks

An order block is a price zone where large institutional orders were placed, causing a strong directional move.

It typically forms at the last bullish or bearish candle before an impulsive move and acts as a key area of support or resistance when price retums to it.

PO3 :

PO3 (Power of Three) is a market cycle concept describing how price moves in three phases:

Accumulation — Manipulation —» Distribution.

It explains how institutions first build positions, then create a false move to trap traders, and finally drive the true directional move

Judas swing

A Judas Swing is a false initial move in price, usually occurring at the start of a trading session, designed to trap traders before the market reverses and moves in the true direction of the day.

Unicorn model :

The Unicorn Model is a high-probability ICT setup that combines liquidity sweep, market structure shift, and a fair value gap (FVG) for entry.

It Looks for price to raid liquidity, then reverse with displacement, offering precise entries in the new direction.
