Buyside and Sellside Liquidity + Institutional Levels – ICT Bootcamp

how's it going everyone welcome to the mm funded ICT and SMC boot camp in this video I'm going to be covering buy side and sell-side [Music] liquidity and we will mainly be focused on a mechanical structure methodology alongside supply and demand zones and incorporating equal highs equal lows and trendline liquidity the first thing that we need to understand is our strong points in the market strong protected lows targeting the weak highs strong protected highs targeting the weak lows in a bearish example and in a bullish example how do we determine our strong points in the market we want to identify our trend is price creating stronger lows creating higher highs respecting that previous range after the pullback after the previous break of structure to then mitigate a supply or demand Zone to then continue targeting those weak highs vice versa in a bearish market we want to identify strong highs targeting weak lows in this example we have a strong High formed that took out the previous week low after every single break of structure price will always incur some kind of a pullback phase we had that pullback phase price respected that previous structural range from the previous High to the previous low mitigated snd areas in this range to then continue targeting those weak lows let's take a look at it live example of price this is Euro USD on the 20th and 19th of October 2023 most recently we had on the M15 time frame the M15 swing High break to the upside with a candle body closure we then encode the M15 pullback after that break of structure demand areas in control so in the scenario I had a more recent Wick Zone area which I'm getting to discuss in further areas of this course and the more extreme demand areas which created the original break of structure all right after price had that pullback we then mitigated areas of demand so expectational order flow is now to continue targeting those M15 week highs where the buy side and sells side liquidity comes into MM fund's ICT model is looking for Clear inducement or equal low liquidity or trend line liquidity to be swept into the supply or demand Zone that has created the break of structure in this scenario we had clear inducements above the supply or demand Zone which we can Mark out as a sweep of liquidity we mitigated into this area of demand which then gave confirmation with a displacement fair value Gap entry to continue long which in the scenario we had clear inducement which also a great Confluence for this was being the Asia low we swept the Asia low into the higher time frame snd zone so we had that liquidity sweep a reason for price to fuel for its next move understanding our structure and Order flow that the M15 Highs are weak Longs with good probability so confirmation which we will discuss in a more detailed video later on we had the mitigation of this snd Zone we had a reaction a sweep of this low the displacement and Market structure shift with a fair value gap which in this example after the Asia sweep into the higher time frame POI being our demand Zone we had that displacement fair value gap which which gave good opportunity for longs to even potentially Target the M15 weak highs or if you're a more mechanical Trader targeting a mechanical fall risor reward okay so let's do some practice in identifying our strong swing points over here I'm on Euro USD on current price date on the 2th of October on the 4-Hour time frame and all you want to go and identify is clear high and low points all right so for example if we backtrack a little bit we had this high create this break of structure to the downside okay we had bearish order flow bearish pullback this becomes a weak low expectational order flow is to mitigate areas of Supply from the previous breaks of structure to continue targeting those weak lows at this point in time this became a strong protected High which we then broke structure to the upside so that can become our 4-Hour break of structure to the upside what was a weak low after this pullback now becomes a 4-Hour swing strong low okay we've now started after that 4-Hour break of structure that 4-Hour pullback and we've now mitigated areas of 4H hour demand we actually had two areas of 4our demand here we had a more extreme Zone and we also had a more recent Zone in this scenario we had price mitigate the more recent Zone we created that internal break of structure to the upside that internal pullback into demand to continue targeting those weak highs that internal pullback into demand to continue targeting those weak highs that internal pullback into demand to continue targeting those internal weak highs and this becomes our overall 4H hour swing week high so can you comment down below what the expectational order flow is is for EUR USD to continue following through this order flow to Target these weak highs okay so most recently this would be our internal break of structure to the upside we can just label that as an i boss which stands for internal break this will become our 4-Hour internal strong protected low and this will become our 4our internal weak High valid areas are forh our demand sitting right here all right in a nutshell a demand Zone needs to create an inefficient push with a fair value Gap we need to have liquidity in the scenario we have this inducement over here okay the Zone needs to be unmitigated and the Zone needs to create a break of structure again I want want you to make notes of this in order for a supply or demand Zone to be valid we need number one must cause break of structure number two must create a FG or imbalance number three must have liquidity or inducement number four must be unmitigated okay so in order for a supply or demand Zone to be an Institutional level which there is a big difference between that a supply and demand Zone can be can be every candle at every swing so for example this was a supply Zone this was a demand Zone this was a supply Zone over here this is a demand Zone over here this is a supply Zone over here supply and demand needs to be complemented with liquidity Concepts Structural Concepts as well as these important for criteria to be valid all right so in this example we had the most recent candle that has created the inefficient push we now have liquidity and inducement Above This Zone it's created the internal break of structure to the upside and price has yet to mitigate this Zone price has never tap this Zone before so therefore it is a 100% valid demand Zone okay so now that you've seen a live example of what Euro USD is currently doing I'm just going to replay the chart to a random date back at the middle of June and just to quickly play this through with you and to identify liquidity on the various supply and demand zones that develop as well as the four main criteria okay so let me just bring this back over here I want you again to keep these notes aside write them down screenshot them save them okay so over here most recently we have had Euro USD with a break of structure to the downside we have a valid area of Supply here and we also have a valid area of Supply here why is that so because these are both valid candles that have created the inefficient push the break of structure is unmitigated all we need to see is a liquidity buildup at the moment the extreme supply has liquidity sitting over here if price forms liquidity for this specific Supply Zone we then can mark this as a valid Supply Zone because we can expect the sweep of this liquidity to gain fuel to then look for entry confirmations to continue short targeting these weak lows all right we also do have valid older demand areas over here that has created these breaks of structures to the upside but what's so important is is to look at recent price action most recently we've had this break of structure to the downside because we had price strong protected lows take out the previous weak highs pullback expectational order flow was to continue targeting those weak Highs but instead we broke structure to the downside okay so I'm going to play price through C Candle by candle so over here we now have valid inducements for this demand zone so what can we expect we can definitely expect a sweep of this and a simple reaction so let's have a look okay so over here we had violation of the supply simply because we did not create any clear leg or structure or inducement for this area of Supply price broke structure pulled back sharply so we still want to see a bit of a pullback and inducement below the supply in order to be swept to then continue short and gain that fuel from the liquidity sweep into that Supply zone so let's have a look okay so there we go definitely definitely a valid enough inducement this then becomes your rule based buy side liquidity that we can expect to be swept and a reaction off of a supply okay in this scenario price continued did not mitigate our supply but we swept liquidity on the 4-Hour time frame into the demand area which then which now is providing a reaction so let's continue price we also now have another valid demand area over here Okay so we've had Mitigation Of This demand which can also become liquidity for the 50% of this demand area so a good Confluence trade in this example would be a sweep of this inducement into the 50% which would be your sside liquidity to then look for confirmations on the lower time frame with that's a one minute displacement fa value Gap entry to continue long okay there's the sweep mitigation of the 50% the display replacement fair value Gap the Fulfillment of that Gap all right price didn't clear this low so it would have been 100% valid long and we're continuing long from there to Target those weak highs okay so here's an example we price mitigated the supply we didn't get confirmation price swept the liquidity but just broke straight through it no displacement fair value Gap entry which is completely fine this then gives you your break of structure to the upside this becomes your strong protected low we do have a valid demand area over here with the inducement and liquidity so what we could expect now is a bit of a pullback sweep of the cell side liquidity into the higher time frame pii with a displacement fair value Gap entry to continue along okay we also have a more extreme area of demand down here so let's play price throughout and see what happens okay price really just continuing bullish over here no pullback at all all right we've formed some more liquidity over here so we could look for a sweep of this liquidity into higher time frame snd areas this is a valid snd Zone that has created the inefficient push these breaks of structures to the upside and has inducement above it okay more really equal bottom liquidity we've had the sweep into that zone and we then had a failure of that zone okay so we definitely had a reaction off that demand and then a pullback into this area of Supply after this break of structure to the downside okay so most recently we've had this new 4-Hour break to the downside valid areas of 4-Hour Supply over here so same scenario again we want to see inducement form the sweep into that Supply to potentially look for shorts okay price just kind of trickling along no real pullback into that Supply we do have a new valid Wick Zone over here which has also created this 4-Hour break of structure to the downside okay sweeping this liquidity into that Supply especially the 50% and reaction from there so in the scenario this is your valid buy side liquidity all right new break of structure opposite side Supply we're starting to mitigate these areas of demand okay mitigation of that demand sweep of this liquidity displacement fair value Gap smaller fair value gap of over here it's a very tight one but we can still Mark that out and let's see what reaction we get okay and failure of that demand understanding why price potentially failed this demand is because the current structure is bearish so these trades of these demand areas would be counter Trend and trading those for our pullbacks because Supply is current in control so in this scenario all the demand areas will in cater for pullbacks all right so we do have valid liquidity above the supply that was just mitigated inducement over here which would be your buy side sweep of that buy side mitigation of that supply and a reaction from that Supply definitely valid to look for shorts again a sweep of this double top liquidity well triple top top liquidity into areas of 4our fair value gaps over here into areas of the 4-Hour fair value Gap over here which price is now continuing short so we've had this break of structure to the downside Strong high weak low valid areas of supply over here and we also have another valid area of more recent Supply over here so same thing again we want to see liquidity buildup for these Supply areas such as inducement like that and over here as well which we would like to see The Sweep into the supply to continue short okay so in this scenario we have the supply Zone over here as well which is also a hasn't been mitigated at the 50% we have this valid liquidity over here so what could we potentially expect is a sweep of this liquidity potential confirmation on the lower time frame to after this break of structure continue targeting these weak lows okay there's that sweep we had that sweep of liquidity could have looked for in a lower time frame for entry confirm to continue targeting those weak lows we've then created that break of structure to the downside with a candle body closure this becomes new area of Supply we do have a more recent area of Supply over here so if we see the necessary liquidity build up for the more recent it'll be valid to look for confirms so in this scenario we had a sharp pullback into the supply low liquidity we've swept the supply and continued short from there so this can also become inducement for the more extreme Supply and we've also created this breakup structure to the downside created by this valid area of Supply which we do have inducement above it okay more liquidity forming over here so we could potentially see the sweep of that to continue lower okay equal tops mitigation and failure of that Supply so in this example we had a complete failure no confirmation price just completely closed above so in the our structure now shifts to the upside so we've had that bullish shift we most likely coming off higher time frame demand this becomes a valid area of demand as well as this area over here so we have a recent and an extreme if the recent forms the necessary liquidity valid for confirms in the scenario price broke structure and sharply pulled back with no liquidity so we can mark that as failed and we also have this new Supply Zone over here here that has now failed this area of demand and also created this break of structure to the downside so this area of Supply would need to have the necessary liquidity lying below in order to look for shorts okay inducement sweep of that liquidity mitigation into that Supply so that would have acted as your buy side liquidity sweep into that zone to then continue Target these weak lows okay and we've now targeted that weak low Point new areas of Supply have formed valid candle with inefficient push the fair value Gap displacement the break of structure so if we form necessary liquidity for the supply we can look for shorts if price violates the supply we can look potentially for shorts on the more extreme Supply okay so we can actually mark this out now as our weak lows okay new break break of structure to the downside so then we just update our supply we have a valid Supply area over here which mitigation is only valid at the 50% and again we have valid liquidity sitting over here so what can we expect is a sweep of this liquidity mitigation into the supply to continue short or cater for some kind of reaction okay sweep reaction price then violates that Supply we then mitigate areas of the 4H hour fair value Gap over here instead of the overall Supply Zone okay so the expectational order flow is to continue still targeting these weak lows after this break of structure to the downside we have also formed Now new areas of Supply zones over here so we can potentially expect is a sweep of this liquidity into the supply to continue shorter okay sweep mitigation and price continuing shorter from there what I'm getting down to when identifying your buy side or sell side liquidity the buy side or sell-side liquidity rule-based needs to be sitting above or below a higher time frame Supply or demand Zone ideally if this liquidity is sitting as Asian session liquidity or Frankfurt session liquidity which I'm going to go over in the next videos of this boot cap price likes to sweep that m at the higher time frame supply and demand and gain some kind of reaction or even Target the overall structural weak high or weak low and what this does it prevents you from marking out all sorts of liquidity so for example over here we have valid sell side over here we have valid sell side over here we have valid buy side over here we have valid sell side so now instead of just trying to trade so now instead of looking at every possible liquidity point for example The Sweep of buy side to look for shorts it could be a valid trade plan or the sweep of salside to look for Longs keeps you to a much more rule-based discipline system to identifying the really high probability liquidity so for example in this scenario was a really high probability liquidity simply because we had the Asian sweep we had had the low of Asia sitting above a high probability demand Zone we had the sweep of that Asia liquidity into the high time frame demand that 1 minute confirmation to continue with Longs whereas all of this liquidity over here all right we do have valid cell side above a supply Zone which could have been 100% valid liquidity point for the supply but in this scenario you wouldn't have had confirmation price just completely violated that Supply also understanding our structural expectational order flow is to Target these weak highs let's take a look for example at yesterday okay we had Asia session which is this blue box this low over here sweep into this higher time frame POI we had that displacement fair value Gap entry to continue long we also swept the Frankford session but I will include a separate video later on in this boot camp dedicated to the session sweeps and session liquidity right now I'm just quickly introducing reducing you to the higher probability liquidity with that being said I'll see you guys in video number two of this mm funded boot camp on YouTube if you guys want to get access to my full three structure type methodology which will give you a much clearer and mechanical way of approaching your structure supply and demand zones as well as my morning live streams marking this up live for my members every single morning going over the trade plan going over the high probability liquidity points as well as the entry confirmations giving each and every member clear crystal Clarity and understanding and context of what price is doing going into session every single morning I will leave a link down below to that Discord Community please make sure that you subscribe with the notification Bell on so that you will get a notification every time I update this YouTube bootcamp course take care guys and I'll see you in the next video
