hey folks welcome back this teaching is going to be understanding the ICT due to swing you okay the ICT jutsu swing what ICT concepts are going to be used in this module I'm going to be introducing the ICT jutsu swing I'm going to be defining what the ICT due to swing actually is I'm going to show you its utilization in bullish conditions and utilization and bearish conditions okay introducing the ICT Judas swing alright so the price swing that sets the London session high or low is many times an energetic price link now it's going to
many times be a run on stops or could be returning to a key price level either one can be the basis for this quick spike in price having a higher time frame understanding and implementing the higher time frame analysis to determine what direction the ICT jutsu swing will form if you look at the chart to the right here I've basically added more dimension and detail to a earlier chart in the series of teachings here I've added a couple different reference points that will help solidify the understanding that creates the daily high and low the open
the high low and close on a daily candle I've started your journey in my ICT concepts with the lowest timeframe possible which is this small little segment of price action from an intraday perspective because if you can understand that and as we draw out farther into higher time frame analysis you'll see that these ideas are actually fractal and they form on all time frames because it's defined the ICT jutsu swing first and foremost you start hunting the Judas swing at midnight New York time okay so this is a New York opening price and it ends
at 5:00 a.m. New York time and that's basically the entire five hour window that would be utilized for anticipating this price move now I'm not suggesting to everyone sit up all night long waiting for this Judas swing to appear there's some things that you would look for obviously but I can't cover everything in one teaching so I'm giving it to you in small little pieces but for the most part between midnight New York time at 5:00 a.m. New York time there's going to be a high or low form for the daily range now we understand
that typically is on the basis of London high Orlin and low forming now the Judas swing is a false rung that trips traders that lack the understanding of true direction of the day and this is going to come by way of higher time frame analysis and implementing that in the intraday price action here we have an example of a Judas swing and I'm going to now teach you the implementation of it in in bullish condition okay so here we have the euro dollar chart and I want you to take notice that we have the Asian
range applied we also have the midnight delineation in New York I've also highlighted the opening price at midnight so this is the New York opening price so whenever you hear me refer to New York open price it's that price okay whatever the opening price is exactly at midnight New York time I draw that out to around 11 o'clock in the morning and obviously we see the Asian range hi Asian range low the premise is we would have to already arrive at an analysis that lends well to bullish prices for euro dollar for this particular day
if we have that assumption and we stick to our guns if you will about only taking a trade based on what I'm going to suggest to you here in your demo can I think you're gonna see there is a repeating phenomenon inconsistency if you apply it it will not give you a trade every single day to practice with it will give you a set up a few times a week if you look at the majors that are coupled with a dollar euro dollar Cable Aussie dollar dollar yen there's four markets if you just watch those
it'll give you a wide array of potential scenarios where this type of thing forms now what is did you two swing here and how is it implemented on a bullish scenario we're looking for an Asian range that is in a tight consolidation we look for initial run-up the trip traders in so buy stops are hid traders arnelle long want a breakout we wait for the market to trade down below the asian range low to take the stops anticipate some measure of a sweep 10 20 pips or so but this move below the opening price that
this is actually the ICT Judas swing now this is a bullish Judas swing and it creates the low of the day inside the London session the London low - ends up becoming the low of the actual day so what we look for is obviously a higher time frame premise that we are anticipating bullishness or a higher close on the day and we wait we wait for a scenario where the Asian range is tripped by running the stops above the Asian range high ok this is the first level of manipulation and then we anticipate a move
below the opening price preferably we want to see a trade below the asian range low if you were to trade just below that asian range low as an entry and use a respectable amount of pips in terms of a stop it might get you into a pretty good trade below below this asian range low to a certain degree of support and old Hika trade to you classic support resistance ideas would lend well here as well but long and short we want to see a measure of move below the opening price see the actual drop below
the opening price is a ICT due to swing when the markets bullish otherwise just any little little movement below it like this one here this would not start a nice et Judas swing the Judas swing is first it leads traders in on the wrong side and then it tears lower going below the asian range low and this whole move little opening price that's exactly the ICT Judas swing my initial teaching him when I was teaching on baby pips when I was doing videos for that community it was right away snatched up by a lot of
traders and said well this is the do to swing or that's a Judas swing and I didn't give you the details that I'm giving you here ok so there's a specific element that has to be there otherwise it's not a Judas swing ok and why did I name it a Judas swing I try to teach my children these concepts and I come up with little interesting titles for certain things like order blocks and new jutsu swings and things like that and it just helps me create a language for them to learn and it's a phenomenon
that makes sense because you know sheep herders they would use a Judas goat and the Judas goat would lead the sheep into the slaughterhouse but the Judas goat would turn away right before going into the slaughterhouse while the Sheep just kept on going on and obviously you know the outcome you get lamb chops so that same premise is seen in price action where the they introduce false breakout here but then the Judas goat leads price action lower and traders that see this they want to go short they sell sell sell sell sell and that's actually
the wrong thing to be doing the actual prices going the other way after it goes below the opening price so what we're looking for is the element of a bullish Judas swing is a pop above the Asian range high then a drop below the opening price at midnight and then below the asian range low when that occurs that's the actual Judas swing that's a bullish now this is what it looks like without any of those elements on the price action you can see probably doesn't give that much detail to you but again we add it
back let that burn in you can see it gives a whole lot more clarity as to why price is doing what it's doing okay now we're going to define the ICT due to swing for a bearish scenario okay so we're looking at the dollar cad here very similar to what we just mentioned on the previous pair you're a dollar now we're looking at the dollar cad with very similar idea the idea going into this day was higher timeframe bearishness so we anticipate a lower closed based on what we anticipate from either a higher time frame
daily or weekly but for this example again the asian range small tight consolidation we want to see it drop down trip traders in right away then run on the other side of the asian range high that movement above the opening price above the asian range high that is the Judas swing this is the false or trap move that I use the in London setups now that's not the only setup but that's one characteristic of the setups that I use now right away some of you're gonna say well you're holding things back Michael that's not fair
well that's why I have a mentorship I don't know anything back there but I've given you enough here that if you look through your price charts okay even if you are not trading them live with your demo account look for these things in hindsight because by printing them out and creating a study log of what these individual days look like it will build a historical reference in your memory and even though you weren't actually in these moves if you are able to watch price action live you'll start to see when it should be happening again
the number one premise going into this when it's bearish we want to anticipate lower prices momentum lower so that way we'll be looking for after midnight New York time we want to see price initially drop down below the asian range level when that happens we are set to wait and anticipate the run back above the asian range high when it does that and goes above the opening price at that moment right here on this candle this becomes a Judas swing because it's now leading people in on the wrong side why because we have already arrived
at a bearish tone on the marketplace so our analysis is suggesting lower prices while any rally intraday at this time of day should be viewed as a suspect rally or a fake move it's going to run up here get everybody excited notice the most energy is seen with it making the high of the day this is slow lethargic movement below that's typical that stop running below the asian range low those short holders that have been trading short now and a breakout their stops going to be rating above here 10 20 pips type of scenario to
unfold that's how about how far to do to swing you'll reach for traits the high today and then quickly moves away that's a telltale hallmark sign that traders have now been trapped and any return back to it all I'm seeing is an Asian range return back to the high doesn't give them an opportunity to see higher prices and then quickly accelerates going lower in the New York session so hopefully I've given you a little bit more detail and insight about what makes a nice et Judas wing it really is nothing more than this just watch
the video a few times the elements and characteristics of it are very simple you want to see the manipulation first when it's bearish below the Asian range well then climb above the opening price at midnight and then go through the Asian range high once it does that that's a Judas swing you can demo trait that or do some back testing and see how this works out many times when you have a bearish tone from a hard time perspective this is the type of move you'll see okay and another classic sign that you're right is if
it starts to move aggressively away from that high because now it's already done its work sheep are getting slaughtered so hopefully you can go through the charts and find many examples of this very thing happening I think if you look at a large sampling of data say you know three or four months and pick a couple pairs you'll see that this is in fact what actually happens in the marketplace and it's very interesting to see it live i I'm never at a loss of interest when it comes to watching London setups because it's a repeating
phenomenon it's pretty classic it goes on and on in terms of consistency but again try not to believe that it's going to form every single day because it's not going to do that folks there's going to be times where I set up is this really loaded in your favour to see either trades lower with a lower close or a higher close when bullish and this is the type of scenario we are looking for now here's the takeaway from this if you don't see this phenomenon take place it's probably better for you to stay out of
the market place because you want to be trading in the most highest probable condition and in my opinion if you're looking for London setups this is one of the best things to look for and one the hallmarks to outstanding London sessions hopefully you enjoyed this presentation and if you'd like to find more you can find additional teachings at the inner circle trader com
