Kardec Trader breaks down ICT strategy for finding trade entries: establish weekly bias, identify market phases (accumulation, manipulation, distribution), then trade the distribution side when it aligns with your bias. Watch for fair value gaps, smart money reversals at key levels, and breaker blocks in the price structure.
This is your accumulation, right? This side of the curve is called manipulation. And this is distribution. You want to kind of trade the distribution. So this is the distribution side of the curve. You're bearish. This is why it's really important, because if you don't have a bias, you don't know which way is manipulation, you don't know which way is distribution. For example, people get caught out all the time. They'll start thinking this is the actual move. If you're not aware that it should be a bearish day, we should expect a bearish expansion from here, right? That is when people get caught out, they're going to try long through that fair value gap. If the weekly is bearish, the daily is likely to be bearish. And you're at a daily key level, chances are you're going to reverse there that circle, right? That's is called a smart money reversal. ICT is a breaker block. Now breaker block is literally when you have a low, a high, right? And then you run that high, so you have a high, low, higher, high, lower, low. This is the first thing you're looking for from these key levels.
