ORB traders make their biggest mistake by watching price action alone instead of checking if smart money is actually behind the move. When large meta-orders execute incrementally, the breakout sustains. The speaker explains how to spot real absorption versus stop-runs using ICT methodology.
This is how I trade. This is literally how I trade. The biggest mistake orb traders are making is trusting price alone. If they were to look behind the candles, they would see if the orb breakout has smart money on their side. And if it has smart money on their side, you know a big meta order is coming into the market and being poured a little bit at a time, a little bit at a time, and you have a very high chance that it will continue out throughout the entire day. So especially for orb traders, this is phenomenal stuff. For ICT traders, we've already said look at absorption, right? The difference between stop run and absorption. And we know that if gets absorbed, and we're going to see now how it works, you're going to have much more edge than we revert if you're trying for a reversal trade on a liquidity grab pattern.
