ICT Daily Bias Trick:
To use this ICT Daily Bias Trick, you only need to focus on the 1-day timeframe. Here’s how:
- Start with the Daily Chart: Look at the recent ICT Market Structure Shift on the chart.
- ICT Bullish Daily Bias:
- If the price has recently shifted to the buy-side, it shows a bullish bias.
- Steps to Trade Bullish Bias:
- Find the Discount Zone or use the ICT OTE Pattern sweet spot.
- Wait for the price to return to the ICT PD Array in the discount area or OTE sweet spot.
- Ensure the price doesn’t shift to the sell-side while moving to the discount area or sweet spot.
- When the price reaches the discount area or OTE, look for confirmation with a market structure shift to the upside on a lower timeframe (at least 15 minutes).
- Higher timeframe confirmations are more reliable.
- Once confirmed, execute a buy trade targeting ICT low resistance liquidity run. Keep trading on the buy-side until the price shifts to the sell-side on the daily timeframe.
- ICT Bearish Daily Bias:
- If the price has recently shifted to the sell-side, it shows a bearish bias.
- Steps to Trade Bearish Bias:
- Find the Premium Zone or use the ICT OTE Pattern sweet spot.
- Wait for the price to return to the ICT PD Array in the premium area or OTE sweet spot.
- Ensure the price doesn’t shift to the buy-side while moving to the premium area or sweet spot.
- When the price reaches the premium area or OTE, look for confirmation with a market structure shift to the downside on a lower timeframe (at least 15 minutes).
- Higher timeframe confirmations are more reliable.
- Once confirmed, execute a sell trade targeting ICT low resistance liquidity run. Keep trading on the sell-side until the price shifts to the buy-side on the daily timeframe.
