Judas Swing | London Killzone | "Optimal Trade Entry" Explained Hello Folks hope you're all doing great as usual,
Today, I will explain something very basic in ICT teachings that repeats just so much and is super easy in fact..
This strategy combines multiple concepts of ICT teachings and is as follows:
1_we wait for the formation of Judas Swing(as defined by ICT) after New York midnight and it simply is waiting for manipulation to occur.
2_we wait for price to show inclination to go in the opposite direction
3_it is very important to enter in London Session(preferably in Killzone)
4_there are a lot of ways to find possible entry, and in this example show how to enter using OTE(optimal trade entry) pattern (it is a retracement to at least %61 (preferably %75 or %79) of the most recent price swing..
You can most probably hold the trade till end of London Killzone, so apply risk management and SL(below recent low/high) and you should be fine...
Don't forget to ▶️ LIKE and ▶️ FOLLOW to get more of a lot of useful explaination and good strategies to become profitable and just forget about what is called (technical analysis).
Your comments and opinions DO matter a lot! So let me know what you think!
+Thanks!

Learning Reversal Timing'sThe Importance of Timing
8AM - London Open
This is where impulsive traders get caught in lures.
Traders tend to get pulled in a direction.
9AM-11AM - Reversal Timing
This is the only time of the day we are usually interested in.
Once the initial lures of the London session are out of the way we begin to see reversals for the rest of the day.
Aussies in the crosshairsA potential kill zone is shown. DO NOT enter if you cannot lose money!
It's this simple: price below amber 4h ATR.

HIGH ALERT: To Bitcoin latecomersThe position shown is a potential crash zone. I'm well aware that 'everybody' thinks BTCUSD is going to $100,000 soon. There are problems ahead that 'everybody' is not factoring in.
Firstly the technical set up is showing something important in this analysis. Bitcoin has had a major long run up to approx $58,200.
Next - there is an important trend switch. 'Everybody' can see the importance of that conspicuous amber trend line. The seeming recovery is about latecomers and greed.
Then there is another problem lurking. What's that? Central Banks are quietly planning their own brand of digital currencies, and regulation is likely to squeeze Bitcoin. Loyalists will say that Bitcoin is bound to survive. Sure - but will price survive?
The technicals are clear for everybody to see. The greater probability is for the south - this is not a prediction. It is only a probability - which means there is also a probability that Bitcoin does not 'obey' the technical picture.

DJI: Kill zone ahead - scary stuff! It's a kill zone. But note carefully there are losses here.
You can't win in this business unless you're prepared to lose! I would welcome arguments on that one.
The chart shows that the rebellion of price looks powerful but on the squeeze momentum assessment it isn't that powerful. Price movements tend to scare new traders. Well, okay - if you can't take the loss stay out.
In this position I cannot predict that price will fall nor can I predict that price will bust up and through the kill zone.
All I can do is take a loss - an affordable one. There is a natural bias for winning positions. Hence seemingly unlikely positions tend not to be shown.
When price moves north it is natural to think it will continue moving north. But what if the trend picture is showing probability for the south at the same time. Scary stuff!

BITCOIN: Gamblers may suffer.The chart shows a powerful sharp switch in sentiment - which is rare on the 8H time frame. Clearly sentiment has been dented. I see small gamblers jumping in, buying the dip.
Sure - on smaller time frames they may make a few bucks. However, at the moment I think they risk transferring money out of their pockets - on the probabilities shown on this time frame (only).
Price is struggling around 50% or 61.8% fib on this time frame. The remaining big investors could be lurking in a kill zone for a big sell off - I can't be certain.
I don't get a good feeling going long on BTC at this time. I'm happy to miss out - I would have lost nothing! 👍👌 Losing nothing in trading is actually winning!

CADJPY: In a potential kill zone. This is on the daily time frame. Nobody can predict where price will go or how far it will go in any direction.
This means that if one is shorting or going long on this position, one has to expect losses. I always keep losses at the forefront of all my posts.
I cannot predict what will happen next. People often ask me for targets. I don't do targets.
This daily position can be exploited on lower time frames, with the right skill.

UK OIL: In a kill zone for a controlled lossI show a broad kill zone on 1D chart of UK Oil.
Features:
1. Price coming into a zone of congestion.
2. Double pump on Squeeze momentum - which means movement upward of price is more likely to be a minor rebellion.
3. Price below the ATR line.
4. RSI struggling at this time of publication to get above 50.
Short-sellers should not act on this set up unless they can afford serious losses.

CADJPY (6H) - alert - kill zone. This is would be a late entry short if one decides to go in now.
If one cannot take the loss, stay out! You've been told. In other words if you lose your money, sue yourself.
I do not avoid the issue of losses. I'm going to bring it up more and more - as it is the main thing to be controlled in all trading. Any arguments about that?
LONG - BTC - Kill the bearsFalling wedge on play with bullish divs on the 4H chart, expecting this one to break into the weekend and continuation at the end of October, 9k+ is the target, Awesome r/r.

GBPJPY 1HR BEARISH TREND CONTINUATIONHi guys, I hope that you are all are well! This week we have seen continued bearish momentum in GBPJPY to which has seen prices push close to 141's even, which is a very important and psychological level for this pair and we also saw prices retest a strong area of structure support (Daily) of 141.00 - 141.30's to which we have since seen some relief in selling pressure as buyers have been stepping back into the market.
I am then looking for a pullback to the upside to continue in where I will be monitoring to see if price action push up into my kill zone for where I believe is the most likely area sellers may re-enter once more, in anticipation for one final retest of the structure lows down at 141.33's for bearish trend continuation and potentially a push down into the 141 even handle!
I hope you all have a great week!

Hi Everyone,
Futures are getting another push higher this morning, which should come as no surprise as it has become the norm. I don't believe it will be a gap omen set up, but yesterday's omen played out fairly quickly. Remember, that TRADE set up calls for the gap to get filled if it gaps to new highs. We still have the open gap omen at 2889 that I believe will get filled as well. The other plethora of gaps below may not be gap omens, but if history is our guide, they will get filled as well. But that may not come until the "Kill Zone" time frame Woody has identified.
We are in the "Halo" time period as Woody pointed out in yesterday's newsletter and traders who want in are being forced to either buy at the end of the day, hoping for another gap higher open or chase the gap higher. This is how the "Kill Zone" sets traders up. They become hypnotized at the non-stop gap higher opens and when they all decide to just jump in, the overnight buyers turn into sellers and we see the bid removed and a mad rush for the exits.
My preferred pattern is looking for some type of sharp drop that finds support and comes back up towards these highs, as we enter the "Kill Zone" time period. That top may end up being a test of the highs left behind or a slight break above. That would be the move that gets everybody just jumping in as sellers are waiting in the winds. I still like a test of the 2700 for the quick move lower, but obviously these overnight buyers have to slow down their panic buying before that set up has a chance. These gaps are NOT bullish when all is said and done and the bulls that have an exit strategy aren't picking up that they all have the same exit strategy and why we see these melt ups followed by panic selling so often.
The range SPX range for today is 2916 high and 2907 low. (Gap Numbers) A break of 2916 the spx should try for 2919/2923. A push below 2907 we could see 2900/2892. G
