Intro foreign how's it going everyone this video is going to be over how I find my

draw on liquidity this is essentially what I do each morning in order to determine


my
Draw on Liquidity bias for the day the one thing I must note is this is dependent
on the time frames I'm entering on I'm entering on the five minute and lower time
frames so I'm using the Daily 4 hour and one hour as the time frames where I find
my draw however if I was to be entering on the one hour chart I would most likely
be looking up to the weekly and monthly for a draw on liquidity so what is a draw
on liquidity well the market searches for external and internal liquidity so if I
can determine where the market is likely to draw to or reach for then I can use the
lower time frames to gain an entry and manage my risk searching for that higher
time frame Target in finding my draw on liquidity I search for external liquidity
such as old highs and old lows equal highs and equal lows and then internal
liquidity such as fair value gaps and Order blocks I will also throw in the
occasional volume and balance or Gap in price besides those PD arrays I will also
search for where price fails to displace over lows and highs as well as where price
is displacing to if I follow the displacement it is generally right the best way to
show this is just to go through a bunch of examples so that is what we are going to
do for this example we are going to be on the NQ 4
Example 1 Hour chart and focusing on that price action to determine and practice
where price is likely to be headed so for example here we had a gap up and an
aggressive move lower following the displacement where are we likely to be headed
bit slow or this slope now if you notice we take this low we want to focus do we
displace back up into the range pushing a bullish narrative or do we continue to
fall down so you can see not really closing above below it right now but then right
here can't really displace up and we start to fall lower right so right here I'll
look back further in price but for this example I'm not going to focus on it but
you'd want to see some sort of old low being Ram here now I won't switch to being
bullish until we get this placement up when we do get this placement up where are
we likely to be headed well we have this high right here and this fair value Gap
right here but with that in mind if we displace up I'd want to see this Ram into
that fair value that would be my draw on liquidity there we go we rush into the
fair value Gap and this volume in Balance now I look here if we are going to go
from an OTE of this range back to an OTE of this range what do we have here a fair
value Gap as well as a previous low so I would want to see price draw back into
here so we hit that low so now if we don't displace below this low or slice through
this fair value Gap I'd want to see it move higher so a reach back up into this
volume imbalance through there and if we displace through there as well I'd want to
see a reach for this I and you can see we just left this high so that will be a
target for later as equal highs and then I kind of missed it but after failing to
take that high aggressive move lower we are likely to reach or this low or this low
right so then you watch price action so right here looking at it we're failing to
displace below this low currently so with that in mind I would say we're likely to
draw higher back up into this range right and if you notice we're drawing up higher
but we're not displacing right so this High isn't being targeted however we do have
an order block sitting right here that price seems to be respecting so after this
is respected where would we want to see a take well I'd want to see it take this
slope and possibly this low right so drawing it out I'd want to see price draw
lower and their price does draws lower and if you notice after taking this low we
don't displace back up that means we're likely to go lower so I'd want to see this
load taken okay we hit that low and the important thing to note is do we displace
below this low or do we move up well we don't really do either but we don't take
this low so let's go one more candle and since we didn't displace below the slope
we're likely to reach for old highs right so this high is taken and then what is in
our crosshairs these old highs up here or equal highs and there you go they get Ram
so now the important thing to notice here what happens here that doesn't happen
down here well we displace Above This high right so with that in mind I would be
targeting this old high up here and you can see we leave it currently and that is
where we currently are in price action for
Example 2 this example we're going to use the S P futures from today so we'll start
with the daily chart if you notice here we respected the mean threshold of this
order block right here and then as starting to move away what do we have sitting
right here a higher value gap on the daily chart so if we move down to the four
hour chart you can see we have a four hour fair value Gap nested within this daily
fair value Gap and if we go to the hour we can see we also have an hourly fair
value up nested within both of those dropping down to a 15 minute chart and
analyzing prior to rth open we can see we have this Gap in price right here which
you could see was respected and aggressively displaced over then if you notice
right here at eight o'clock we drop down into this fair value Gap here running
these internal lows and actually creating an smt with the NASDAQ with that in mind
we are likely targeting up into this range go into the one minute for open there
was quite a bit of sloppy price action and whipping around but we took the highs
right here aimed down took these lows The smt Still Holding and then getting a move
higher I wasn't super convinced of this price action so once we made this move out
then I was aware of it there is a breaker right here but what I was focusing on was
this border block right here that was created and then I took my entry right here
with a stop on this low targeting 39.50 or just slightly before that draw on
liquidity and that was my trade for the day now if I didn't know that my drawing
liquidity was higher I probably would not have been looking long right here after
we ran this High however knowing so I didn't let the lower time frame scare me out
of a position and was able to take a trade I

Displacement in market analysis refers to the price action that significantly moves away from a previous zone, indicating a strong directional intent. This concept is crucial in analyzing liquidity as it helps establish where there is a lack of opposing pressure, thus marking areas of potential draws on liquidity. Displacement over highs or lows often signals a possible continuation towards liquidity targets such as significant highs or fair value gaps, which suggests a change in market sentiment .

Order blocks represent areas where buy or sell orders were concentrated previously, usually before significant price moves. These zones are often revisited as they provide liquidity due to unfilled orders or traders looking to re-establish positions. By monitoring whether price respects or breaks through these areas, traders can predict potential reversals or continuations. Displacement above or below an order block can serve as a signal of future price action, as observed when prices fail to displace a low and move higher to seek liquidity elsewhere .

External liquidity points, like old highs and lows, indicate where significant liquidity is pooled, serving as key targets for market moves. Internal liquidity, including fair value gaps and order blocks, indicates zones within previous price ranges that might entice the market due to imbalances or unfulfilled zones. Traders devise strategies based on the anticipated attraction of price to these liquidity points, using them to predict potential continuation or reversal zones .

A 'fair value gap' in trading refers to a price range where a significant imbalance has occurred, creating a noticeable void. This typically happens as a result of aggressive buying or selling pressure that moves price rapidly, leaving little to no trading activity in that range. The market often looks to revisit these gaps later, as they represent areas of potential rebalancing and liquidity draw, allowing traders to anticipate where price might revisit in the future .

The relationship between higher and lower time frames is central to liquidity targeting as it allows traders to align broader market analysis with precise entry and exit strategies. Higher time frames provide context for overall market trends and major liquidity attractions, while lower time frames give granularity for capturing immediate moves with reduced risk. Aligning these perspectives enables anticipation of short-term reactions within the longer-term liquidity narrative, optimizing positioning in the market .

Different time frames in trading provide varying perspectives on market direction and liquidity targets. Higher time frames such as daily, weekly, and monthly charts help traders identify broader trends and major liquidity draws. Conversely, lower time frames, such as hourly or minute charts, are used for fine-tuning entry and exit points as they exhibit more immediate price actions and temporary liquidity movements .

Equal highs or lows in the market are important as they often indicate zones where liquidity pools exist due to clustering stop-loss orders from traders. These areas become attractive targets for market makers seeking to draw liquidity, often foreboding significant price movements. The market tendency to reach for and often displace these zones can confirm or alter the market's directional bias .

Volume imbalances occur when there is a disproportionate trading activity in specific price areas, indicating a scarcity or abundance of liquidity. Traders observe these imbalances closely, as they suggest potential supply or demand zones that the market might return to for liquidity gathering. This expectation influences trading strategies, as areas with noted volume imbalances often experience subsequent price consideration, affecting market liquidity perceptions .

Traders determine the direction of market bias through the concept of 'draw on liquidity' by identifying areas where the market is likely to seek out liquidity. This involves analyzing external liquidity points such as old highs and lows, and internal liquidity structures like fair value gaps and order blocks. By observing price action and whether it displaces or respects these areas, traders can anticipate where the market is likely to draw to next. For example, if there are equal lows, the market may seek to draw liquidity by reaching those lows .

The OTE (Open, Test, and Execute) method leverages Fibonacci retracement levels to find optimal entry points that align with the predominant direction of liquidity draw. By applying OTE, traders look for a retracement in the direction of the identified trend using higher time frame liquidity insights, assessing whether the retracement holds or respects the optimal levels, then execute trades with the expectation of continuity towards targeted liquidity areas such as fair value gaps or old highs/lows .
