A powerful tool for filtering fakeouts

I build an indicator The Intrabar Average Speed indicator this indicator quantifies market momentum by calculating the average net point movement of 1-minute sub-candles within any higher timeframe. I made it specially to filter out liquidity sweep setups like we all know if liquidity sweep is genuine the market should give a violent, fast reaction with this we can quantity market momentum now you guys say how it is, waiting for reviews of you all. IF YOU ALL FIND IT USEFUL I WILL GIVE THE SOURCE CODE AS WELL

Gaps on a 1 min chart

Can someone please explain to me what's the science behind these gaps on a 1 minute candles. Sometimes the gap opens higher but the candle closes down, vice versa. What's the tell tale sign that if a gap opens higher that candle is gonna close higher vice versa?

Alpha futures has 50% off

Alpha futures is running 50% off their accounts I used code DINERO. But the thing is are there any other cheaper prop firms out there? I’m still learning to trade but so far I’ve just been using alpha futures I’ve also tried lucid but I’m on a budget.

$+4000 Rejection Block Play

Coming into the market yes I was bullish, however I was short term bearish down to the 1hr unmitigated fair value gap.

09:30 came around and we got a clear manipulation into a 15m rejection block. The rejection block carried an HTF SMT, make it a very safe SL.

I usually trade inversions but this seemed too obvious not to take.

Need help in our classic strategy

Here we can see 4464.416 was clear liquidity level, price swept it, get rejected with a long wick and on 1m timeframe also gave ChOCh then entering on FVG retracement but then too price swept our stoplosses which was real liquidity can anyone help me out in this, how to spot these fakeouts. This is an example of our classic, HTF liquidity sweep + LTF BOS + LTF FVG retracement

XAUUSD Buy Setup Explanation (Liquidity Sweep + MSS + FVG)

XAUUSD setup was based on a 1H liquidity sweep followed by bullish MSS and strong displacement creating an FVG. Entry was taken on the FVG retracement on lower timeframe, and tp taken earlier near VAH as it was a key reaction area.

•1H liquidity sweep taken

•Bullish MSS confirmation

•Strong displacement created FVG

•Entry on FVG retracement 1m execution

•SL on fvg 1st candle low

•Trade secured near VAH as reaction area

•Trade aligned with HTF bias + LTF confirmation

Breaker block works really well

Pretty good stuff - it works really well!

So I watched a few videos online about ICT (not from ICT himself, as he talks more and teaches less, IMO) and I learned a few basic things like FVG, OB, BB, and BOS. Then, I tried implementing them.

And yes, context matters. For example, where you identify an FVG, OB, BB, or BOS is key; you cannot just place these anywhere on the chart. However, I don't know, lol. I literally only watched a BB video, found a chart quickly, drew in the lines, and it hit! Maybe I was lucky LOL.

But yeah, I want to learn more. Any tips? Or is it possible to only trade FVG, OB, BB, and BOS?

New to ICT any help?

Hi guys,
I am new-ish to ICT and his concepts. I am skeptical of him since he did get caught out as a fraud in some cases in the previous years.

BUT

I am curious of his concepts. I know he repackaged many older concepts as his own, but i do not really care, whatever works i guess.

So i wanted to know if you guys could point me in the right direction and let me know where to start. I noticed he released his 2026 series but is it essential to watch through all of them? Or is there a shorter version on YT. Or do i need to watch that at all, since maybe his older videos have the same concepts in his new 2026 mentorship.
Any advice helps

What’s your threshold for adding an obscure microcap to your watchlist?

i usually ignore most tiny names unless there’s at least some actual business underneath the speculation.

lately I’ve been screening smaller financial companies and ended up looking into Troo after seeing it mentioned a few times.

the business seems more layered than I initially assumed.

what usually gets a tiny company onto your serious watchlist?
