ICT Smart Money Concepts - Cheat Sheet

1. Market Structure

- Uptrend: Higher Highs (HH) + Higher Lows (HL)

- Downtrend: Lower Highs (LH) + Lower Lows (LL)

- CHoCH: Change of Character - potential reversal

- BOS: Break of Structure - confirms trend continuation

2. Liquidity

- Smart Money hunts stop-loss zones (liquidity pools)

- Equal Highs/Lows = Targets

- Previous Day/Week Highs and Lows are key liquidity points

- Retail trendlines are often traps

3. Order Blocks (OB)

- Bullish OB: Last down candle before a strong up move

- Bearish OB: Last up candle before a strong down move

- Use OB as entry zones when price returns

4. Fair Value Gaps (FVG)

- 3-candle pattern: price imbalance between Candle 1's low and Candle 3's high

- Price often returns to fill the gap

- Look for entry confirmation inside FVG

5. Killzones

- London Killzone: 2AM - 5AM EST

- New York Killzone: 7AM - 10AM EST

- NYSE Open: 9:30AM EST

- Judas Swing: Fake move early in the session
