CHAPTER 12

Models 06-10: Liquidity and Entry

These five are liquidity-driven. Once you understand them you will understand why price comes back at all.

Model 06 - Asian Range Sweep and London Reversal

Asia builds a narrow range. At the London open price breaks one edge to collect stops, then closes back inside and delivers the other way. It is the most common structural pattern of the day.

**Fig. 12.1** HTF: range low swept, delivery upward

Timeframe	What to look for
1H	Mark the Asian range boundaries
15m	Sweep confirmation
5m	MSS and FVG
1m	Precision entry

Entry Rules

Write down the Asian high and low.
Wait for a sweep of one edge in London.
Enter when price returns inside and prints an MSS.
TP1 at the opposite edge, TP2 at the London extension.

**Fig. 12.2** LTF: MSS after the return into the range

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	FVG	After the sweep
Stop	Beyond the sweep	5-10 pips past the range
TP1	1:1.5	The opposite edge
TP2	1:3	The London extension

Conditions and Invalidation

The narrower the range, the more reliable the reversal.
No sweep, no trade.
Within the first 30 minutes of the London open.

Model 07 - Turtle Soup (Liquidity Raid Reversal)

An old high or low breaks by a small margin, then immediately reverses - that is turtle soup. The name is old but the idea is core ICT: not a breakout, a trap.

**Fig. 12.3** HTF: the old high raided, then delivery lower

Timeframe	What to look for
Daily	Mark the old high or low
1H	Raid confirmation
5m	MSS
1m	Entry trigger

Entry Rules

Pick a level tested two or three times.
After the raid, wait for a body back inside and an MSS.
Enter the FVG, stop 5 pips beyond the raid.
Target the opposite side of the range.

**Fig. 12.4** LTF: MSS and FVG after the raid

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	FVG	After the raid
Stop	10 pips	Beyond the raid
TP1	1:2.5	Mid range
TP2	1:5	The opposite pool

Conditions and Invalidation

The raid must be small - 10 to 15 percent of the range.
Best when the raid happens inside a killzone.
Not before major news.

Model 08 - OTE Continuation

After a BOS, price retraces 62 to 79 percent. Entering there with the HTF bias keeps risk small and reward large. It is the most instructive model because structure, range and Fibonacci work together.

**Fig. 12.5** HTF: the retracement into OTE after a BOS

Timeframe	What to look for
4H	Trend and draw
1H	BOS, swing marks and the OTE
5m	MSS confirmation
1m	FVG entry

Entry Rules

Find a clean BOS - a body close.
Draw Fibonacci from the swing low to the high.
Wait for a five-minute MSS inside the 62-79 percent zone.
Limit in the FVG, stop below the swing low.

**Fig. 12.6** LTF: the one-minute trigger inside OTE

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	62-79%	A trigger is required
Stop	100%	Below the swing low
TP1	1:2	The BOS high
TP2	1:3.5	The next pool

Conditions and Invalidation

If the retracement goes beyond 100 percent, OTE is void.
Do not wait more than three candles after the BOS.

Model 09 - Order Block and FVG Stack

When an order block and an FVG share the same price, two independent reasons point to one decision. This is an A+ setup and produces the best R.

**Fig. 12.7** HTF: the OB and the FVG stacked at one price

Timeframe	What to look for
4H	Mark the order block
1H	Check the FVG overlap
15m	Confirm the zone
5m	MSS and entry

Entry Rules

Write the OB boundary and the FVG boundary.
Their overlap is the entry zone.
Limit at the CE, stop beyond the OB.
TP1 at the nearest pool, TP2 at the draw.

**Fig. 12.8** LTF: MSS inside the stack and the entry

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	OB and FVG overlap	Limit
Stop	Beyond the OB	15-30 pips
TP1	1:2	Nearest pool
TP2	1:4	The HTF draw

Conditions and Invalidation

The OB must sit in discount for longs, premium for shorts.
Confirm the OB was created inside a killzone.

Model 10 - Breaker Block Reversal

When an order block fails, the stops of the trapped traders become fuel for the new direction. The return to that failed zone is the lowest-risk entry in ICT.

**Fig. 12.9** HTF: the breaker zone after a sell-side sweep

Timeframe	What to look for
4H	Identify the failed order block
1H	Confirm the break
5m	Retest and MSS
1m	Entry

Entry Rules

Find where an OB broke with a body close.
When price returns, look for a five-minute MSS.
Enter the gap or CE, stop beyond the zone.
TP1 at the nearest swing, TP2 at the draw.

**Fig. 12.10** LTF: entry on the breaker retest

Level	Distance	What to do
Entry	Breaker	On the retest
Stop	Beyond the zone	20-30 pips
TP1	1:2	Nearest swing
TP2	1:4	The draw

Conditions and Invalidation

Best when the breaker aligns with a liquidity sweep.
The first retest is the best one.
