We draw NWOG on 1m-5m and we use Friday’s closing price and Sunday’s opening price.
ICT NWOG is a tool that gives you Large Fund Fair valuation. That means that the markets will gyrate around these gaps on HTF. Things don’t end with a single revisit to the gap. They remain and the algorithm will refere back to them. Pretty as much as inefficiencies and liquidity voids. Liquidity void is a place in price where no trading took place between 2 price points. NWOG is a real liquidity void. When the market moves away from that Gap after repricing into it, it can refer back to it weeks, months or more later. We have always 5 on the chart. The current + last 4. We need at least 4 for proper Large Fund Fair Valuation.
You can also use the .25 and .75 levels and make quadrants of the gap.
When you have all of them on your chart you can see how price treated them as Support or Resistance. There is no limit on how much you can have. But 5 is a reasonable number that gives you good Large fund perspective.
If price stays close to the current NWOG, we are going to have range consolidation. When price moves away from it, we have trending week environment.
There are 2 approaches of using NWOG:
The one that starts on Sunday is Actual, because there is trading going on.
