Draw on Liquidity (DOL) - ICT Concepts
Introduction
The speaker introduces the topic of finding draw on liquidity and explains that it is dependent on the time frames being used.
Finding Draw on Liquidity
- The speaker uses the Daily 4 hour and one hour as the time frames where they find their draw.
- They explain that a draw on liquidity is when the market searches for external and internal liquidity.
- To find their draw, they search for external liquidity such as old highs and lows, equal highs and lows, as well as internal liquidity such as fair value gaps and order blocks.
- Occasionally, they also consider volume and balance or gap in price to determine their draw.
Examples of Finding Draw on Liquidity
The speaker provides examples of how to find draw on liquidity using price action.
Example 1: NQ 4 Hour Chart
- After a gap up and aggressive move lower following displacement, the speaker looks for an old low being rammed to determine if price will displace back up into the range pushing a bullish narrative or continue to fall down.
- If there is displacement up, they look for a reach into fair value gap which would be their draw on liquidity.
- If we are going from an OTE of this range back to an OTE of another 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
- After taking this low we don't displace back up so we're likely to go lower.
- We're failing to displace below this low so we're likely to draw higher back up into the range.
- After taking this low, they look for an order block sitting right here that price seems to be respecting. They want to see price take this slope and possibly this low.
- Price draws lower and if it doesn't displace below the slope, it's likely to reach for old highs.
Example 2: NQ 4 Hour Chart
- The speaker looks for displacement above a high which would be their target.
Analysis of Fair Value Gap
The speaker analyzes the fair value gap on different timeframes, including daily, four-hour, and hourly charts.
Fair Value Gap on Different Timeframes
- A higher value gap is observed on the daily chart.
- On the four-hour chart, a four-hour fair value gap is nested within this daily fair value gap.
- On the hourly chart, an hourly fair value up is nested within both of those.
Analysis of Price Action Before RTH Open
The speaker analyzes price action before RTH open using a 15-minute chart.
Price Action Before RTH Open
- A gap in price is observed before RTH open.
- This gap was respected and aggressively displaced over.
- At eight o'clock, we drop down into this fair value gap here running these internal lows and actually creating an smt.
Trading NASDAQ After Sloppy Price Action
The speaker discusses trading NASDAQ after sloppy price action using a one-minute chart.
Trading NASDAQ After Sloppy Price Action
- There was quite a bit of sloppy price action and whipping around before open.
- The highs were taken right here aimed down took these lows. The smt still holding and then getting a move higher.
- 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.
Importance of Drawing Liquidity
The speaker emphasizes the importance of drawing liquidity when trading.
Importance of Drawing Liquidity
- The speaker mentions that if they didn't know that their drawing liquidity was higher, they probably would not have been looking long right here after we ran this high.
- Knowing so, the lower time frame did not scare them out of a position and was able to take a trade.
