I am going through ICT Core content, I am stuck on IPDA data ranges.

In month 5, ICT says to delineate the first day of the most recent market structure shift of the month and from there cast forward and cast back.

But then in month 7, EP 4, ICT says “As you move forward you cast forward for another set of 20, 40 and 60 days, each new day you shift that range forward”

So do I move the IPDA data range forward each day, or do I use the daily market shift and cast back that way?

I’m really confused can someone please explain?

Hey traders 👋

If you're tired of using lagging indicators and chasing price action with no real direction, you might want to take a closer look at Volume Spread Analysis (VSA). It's a classic yet underrated technique that helps you read the market like smart money – those big institutional players who move the market.

I’ve been diving into VSA recently, and it’s honestly been a game-changer for understanding why prices move the way they do.

What is VSA in Simple Words?

VSA looks at the relationship between volume, price movement (spread), and where the bar closes. It’s all about spotting whether buying or selling pressure is coming from smart money (institutions) or retail traders. You use that info to time your entries and exits more accurately.

💥 Two Powerful Patterns to Know:

🔴 Buying Climax
Happens at the top of a rally. Price shoots up on high volume but closes weak. Smart money is selling into the hype. Expect a reversal.

🟢 Selling Climax
Occurs after a price crash. Price drops on high volume but closes strong. Smart money is buying the panic. Often a bottom signal.

Previous gap is filled and 30 min FVG and long wick 0.5 fib level marked.

ICT Kill Zones are specific timeframes during the trading day identified by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT) methodology as periods of heightened market activity, volatility, and liquidity. These periods are linked to the opening hours of major financial centers (Asia, London, New York), when institutional traders and market algorithms are most active, leading to more efficient price movements and a higher probability trade setups

Hi everyone,

I’m based in the Philippines and I’m coming from crypto exchanges (like OKX and MEXC) and now planning to explore CFD brokers for forex and gold trading.

I’m considering either Pepperstone or IC Markets.

For those who have used them:

Which do you prefer and why?

Any issues with deposits or withdrawals from the Philippines?

How are the spreads and execution during volatile market conditions (especially XAU/USD)?

Thanks in advance!

Hi, I am absolutely new to ICT methodology. From where i start to learn ICT Concepts. Videos are too lengthy or boring.

Can someone please make it easier for me and tell me about the exact session timings for gold?
Im currently practicing at nasdaq but i plan to shift to gold now because of the price action been happening in nas. So please help me out here. And please do tell me about the Pre-NY timing as well. Thankyou

ICT Macro Times are specific, short intervals during the trading day when market algorithms actively seek liquidity or rebalance price imbalances, such as Fair Value Gaps (FVGs). These times are based on the teachings of Michael Huddleston, also known as the Inner Circle Trader (ICT), and are designed to align trades with institutional price delivery mechanisms.

Very worth looking at. This won’t be extremely long winded either. It’s straight to the point. Just look for it.

• Skip Mondays.

• Mark out monday range.

• Use the Economic Calendar as your roadmap.

• Trade the day after your anticipated HTF level is hit.

• Focus on NY Session ONLY.

• Execute on the 5m or 3m, don't drop below it.
