ICT-style confluence chart showing liquidity and imbalance.

What You Will Learn

Start with these essentials

  • Simplify concepts into process rules.
  • Use liquidity and imbalance as confluence.
  • Require confirmation before entry.

Who This Is For

  • Traders using TradingView who want confluence and structure, not single-signal guessing.
  • Indicator users who need a repeatable setup checklist they can journal.
  • Futures traders learning to connect market conditions, price levels, and entry rules.

Before You Use This Guide

  • Indicators do not remove the need to manage risk.
  • Signals still need to be checked against price levels and market conditions.

The Problem This Guide Helps You Solve

Names for chart patterns are not a trading plan. Write down observable entry and exit rules so you can test the idea and review your decisions.

ICT-Style Process

Work through these checks in order. The examples explain a process; they are not instructions to place a trade.

1. Liquidity Map

Mark likely liquidity pools above and below price.

2. Imbalance Context

Use FVG and order block behavior near those zones.

3. Confirmation Entry

Take setups only when structure confirms your directional case.

Concept Translation Examples

Sweep + FVG Reclaim

A liquidity grab reclaims through an imbalance and confirms setup quality.

Order Block Continuation

Retest holds and structure continuation confirms trend alignment.

Common Execution Mistakes To Avoid

  • Overloading charts with concept overlays.
  • Taking entries before shift confirmation.
  • Ignoring session timing windows.
