Lesson 3: ICT Mentorship Content - Central Bank Dealers Range Foreign

In this lesson, the instructor teaches about the Central Bank dealers range foreign and how to use it in day trading.

Understanding Ranges

  • To determine a range, we need a central focal point and then it has to deviate above or below it to give us our deviation.
  • The height of the range from high to low based on two different types of parameters can be measured in terms of Pips and can be replicated in the form of standard deviations.
  • One standard deviation above and below would be the same range added to the high and subtracted from the low respectively.

Sell Days vs Buy Days

  • Typically, most sell days will create the high of the day up to three standard deviations while most buy days will create the low of the day down to three standard deviations.
  • Ideally, sell days should create no more than two standard deviations above while buy days should create no less than two standard deviations below.

Specifics with Central Bank Dealers Range

  • The time period that frames Central Bank dealers' range is 2 PM to 8 PM New York time.
  • The ideal range is less than 40 Pips preferably between 20 to 30 Pips in total height from high to low.
  • A range larger than 30 Pips can tend to be unfruitful for projections.

Overall, this lesson provides an overview of how ranges work and how they are used in day trading. It also explains specific details about Central Bank dealers' ranges such as their ideal time period and size.

Bullish Concept

  • If we're bullish, we're looking for the opening price and then the market to trade down ideally by 20 to 30 Pips.
  • On accumulation days where the low of the day is formed and we have a higher close bullish, we're looking for that 20 to 30 pip drop down.

One Standard Deviation Projected Below

CFTC RULE 4.41 – HYPOTHETICAL OR SIMULATED PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE CERTAIN LIMITATIONS. UNLIKE AN ACTUAL PERFORMANCE RECORD, SIMULATED RESULTS DO NOT REPRESENT ACTUAL TRADING. ALSO, SINCE THE TRADES HAVE NOT BEEN EXECUTED, THE RESULTS MAY HAVE UNDER-OR-OVER COMPENSATED FOR THE IMPACT, IF ANY, OF CERTAIN MARKET FACTORS, SUCH AS LACK OF LIQUIDITY. SIMULATED TRADING PROGRAMS IN GENERAL ARE ALSO SUBJECT TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE DESIGNED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFIT OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN Trading performance displayed herein is hypothetical. Hypothetical performance results have many inherent limitations, some of which are described below. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown. In fact, there are frequently sharp differences between hypothetical performance results and the actual results subsequently achieved by any particular trading program. One of the limitations of hypothetical performance trading results is that they are generally prepared with the benefit of hindsight. In addition, hypothetical trading does not involve financial risk, and no hypothetical trading record can completely account for the impact of financial risk in actual trading. For example, the ability to withstand losses or to adhere to a particular trading program in spite of trading losses are material points which can also adversely affect actual trading results. There are numerous other factors related to the markets in general or to the implementation of any specific trading program which cannot be fully accounted for in the preparation of hypothetical performance results and all of which can adversely affect actual trading results.

You should therefore carefully consider whether such trading is suitable for you in light of your financial condition. If you purchase or sell Equities, Futures, Currencies or Options you may sustain a total loss of the initial margin funds and any additional funds that you deposit with your broker to establish or maintain your position. If the market moves against your position, you may be called upon by your broker to deposit a substantial amount of additional margin funds, on short notice in order to maintain your position. If you do not provide the required funds within the prescribed time, your position may be liquidated at a loss, and you may be liable for any resulting deficit in your account. Under certain market conditions, you may find it difficult or impossible to liquidate a position. This can occur, for example, when the market makes a “limit move.” The placement of contingent orders by you, such as a “stop-loss” or “stop-limit” order, will not necessarily limit your losses to the intended amounts, since market conditions may make it impossible to execute such orders.
