ICT Mentorship Core Content - Month 05 - Limit Order Entry Techniques For Long Term Traders
Introduction
This lesson is about using limit entry techniques for long-term traders.
Buying with a Limit Order
- Use buy stops on monthly or weekly charts to suggest institutional order flow will be seeking a PD array above daily market price.
- The daily chart should post a bearish candle and close the candle with a down close.
- Place the buy limit at the bearish candle's close, which is the daily high, low, open, and close.
- Enter a buy limit order at the close of the daily candle that has a down close while the market is bullish.
- Expect higher price moves in the asset class being traded.
Selling with Limit Orders
- Use sell stops on monthly or weekly charts to suggest institutional order flow will be seeking PD arrays below daily market price.
- The daily chart should post a bullish candle and close the candle with an up-close.
- Place the sell limit at the bullish candle's close, which is also represented by the daily high, low, open, and close.
- Sell short in an overvalued or overbought condition in a market that's predisposed to go lower based on monthly and/or weekly PD arrays that will draw prices lower.
- Look for bearish order blocks if there's a gap that it's traded into if it's filled in void if it's traded above recent highs.
Conclusion
This lesson focuses on how you don't necessarily need big turning points at tops or bottoms; you just need to meet in between and be a long-term trader still. Capitalize on many pips/points by doing these types of trades.
Trading with Limit Orders
In this section, the speaker discusses how to use limit orders to enter trades at low risk and high probability entry patterns.
Selling Short on a Limit Above Candle Close
- By selling short on a limit above the candle's close, you can get the last little piece of market movement above.
- This is an amazing entry pattern that provides really low-risk and high-probability opportunities.
Using Close as Limit Order to Buy
- You can use the close of a down candle as your limit order to be a buyer.
- Each down candle's close becomes your limit order, and if it trades down below it, you would be filled.
- This strategy works well for day trades and swing trades.
Using Weekly PD Array or Bearish Order Block
In this section, the speaker explains how to use weekly PD array or bearish order block in trading.
Importance of Weekly Chart
- The weekly chart shows how price moves away from certain levels.
- There was a bearish order block up around 118/119 level and that was the weekly premium PD array that would draw price up to that level long-term.
- We saw a bullish order block down in the discount level at 100 so you saw the willingness to want to bounce off that level.
Daily Chart Example
- In November during Donald Trump's election rally in the US, price stabbed one more time down into that weekly bullish order block prior.
- Using the down candle, buying below its close gave an amazing fill.
- From there all the way up to the weekly PD array or bearish order block is 1800 pips for that particular low.
Other Examples
- There are several other examples where buying below candles' close on a limit resulted in significant pip moves (785, 600, 500, and 360 pips).
- These types of numbers are respectable and show that there are plenty of opportunities in long-term trends.
Do You Still Need Intraday Trading to Make Pips?
In this section, the speaker questions whether intraday trading is necessary to make pips.
Opportunities on Higher Time Frames
- Daily time frames provide many opportunities for traders.
- When you're in long-term trends and they have a clear indication of moving higher to a monthly or weekly level, there are many opportunities to get positioned without having to get the high.
- Respectable pip moves can be made even if you're not a day trader or scalper.
Trading Ideas Framework
In this section, the speaker discusses a framework for trading ideas to be successful.
Focus on One Pair

- This allows for a deeper understanding of the pair's behavior and patterns.
Timeframe Analysis
- The speaker recommends analyzing the pair on a weekly and monthly basis.
- This provides a broader perspective of the pair's behavior and trends.
Conclusion
- The speaker concludes by wishing good luck and good trading.
