You need to have a wide understanding of all the PD arrays ICT has taught us to actually see Market Maker Models. If you don't know what a breaker is, a mitigation block, an inversion fair value gap, the observation of seeing it in real-time as a market maker, a buy or sell model, may escape you when you're looking at price action live. These are things that are going to require you to know. There's going to be multitudes of Market Maker sell and buy models that are going to escape you. You won't see them until after the fact, but don't discount that as wasted opportunity. Log them, journal them, mark them up. We will study MM Sell model. Just reverse everything for MM Buy model. This is the closest thing to how ICT trades and engages price. 99% of the time is based around this framework. So lets dive in the Market Maker Models, algorithmic price delivery in institutional price swings.
Swing trading is all based on the premise of MMXM.
When we say swing trading we are referring to the idea that:
If you were looking at price and see those relative equal highs. We would anticipate a run above that. This is the beginning building blocks of understanding how to look for a market maker sell model. But it's not just simply understanding where relative equal highs and relative equal lows are. You have to understand what the market is trying to do and gravitate to. For the premise of doing it to go higher longer term or to go up just to trick people into being long and then going lower longer term, that's the narrative.
Liquidity is a stagnant price level or levels where stops would reside. Buy-side delivery is the actual animated movement of price moving higher.
Sellside delivery is the actual animated movement of price moving lower.
Now let’s view this price action with candlestick chart.
The market will go up/down only for 2 reasons:
