High-Probability SMC/ICT Entry Model: The Power of the Liquidity

High-Probability SMC/ICT Entry Model: The Power of the LiquidityU.S. Dollar / Canadian DollarFOREXCOM:USDCADFOREX-CLUB​Description: ​In the world of Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and ICT, "Context" is king. Many traders fail because they enter on every Market Structure Shift (MSS) they see. The secret to a high-probability trade isn't just the shift—it's the Stop Hunt that happens before it. ​The Core Rules of This Model: ​The Liquidity Sweep (Stop Hunt): We do not look for entries unless the market first sweeps a significant High or Low (Buy-side or Sell-side Liquidity). If there is No Stop Hunt, there is No Entry. Smart Money needs to engineer liquidity (hit your stops) before moving the price. ​Market Structure Shift (MSS) with Displacement: After the sweep, we wait for a violent move in the opposite direction. This displacement confirms that the "State of Delivery" has changed. ​CISD (Change in State of Delivery): Once the MSS occurs, we look for the market to return to a Fair Value Gap (FVG) or an Order Block. This is where the price transitions from seeking liquidity to trending toward the next target. ​Chart Labeling Guide (For your Screenshot): ​Step 1: Mark the old High/Low as "🛑 Liquidity Sweep / Stop Hunt". ​Step 2: Mark the aggressive move away as "⚡ Displacement". ​Step 3: Draw a line at the broken swing point and label it "📉 MSS (Market Structure Shift)". ​Step 4: Highlight the entry box (FVG/OB) and label it "🎯 CISD / Entry Zone". ​Step 5: Mark your exit as "💰 Take Profit (Target Liquidity)". ​Disclaimer: ​This post is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
