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.
U.S. Government Required Disclaimer – Commodity Futures Trading Commission Futures and Options trading has large potential rewards, but also large potential risk. You must be aware of the risks and be willing to accept them in order to invest in the futures and options markets. Don’t trade with money you can’t afford to lose.

You should seek appropriate advice from your broker, or licensed investment advisor, before taking any action. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Simulated performance results contain inherent limitations. Unlike actual performance records the results may under or overcompensate for such factors such as lack of liquidity. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses to those shown.
The risk of loss in trading can be substantial. 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.

i remember writing in my notes, nearly at the end of the 2022 mentorship, "WTF IS AN ORDERBLOCK" and it finally clicked after tape reading for months.

[corvusglaive]

For over one year i have struggled to understand the concept of order blocks and you have done in it in under 10 minutes. Thanks a lot

[leonardokristof]

You really help a lot of people out. Since ICT in his mentorships has loads of informations, and of course they are valuable, but really it is hard to understand everything. Thanks mate!

[billtoft]

By far the clearest explanation of Order Blocks I have found anywhere. THANK YOU!!!

[seajay]

I struggled on ICT mentorship, but you my friend are a blessing !

[tinyjungle_]

Finally the order blocks for dummies video that I've been waiting for. Thank you

[futuresdojo]

For any of you wondering what he means by "displacement", he actually means a COMPLETE CANDLE: wicks, open and close outside of a specific candle's FULL BODY (either up or down). Simply saying "displacement" can be extremely confusing because it can mean simply a candle's close outside of a specified area. At 5:45 he states "we want to see displacement up into this area before returning to the FVG and order block". He's actually saying "a full body Outside and Above the OB+ area/line/marker, etc. Hope this helps anyone who was as confused as I was at first.

Another great video.Thanks for making these excellent videos. A friendly request: Could you create a video going over the major components of the ICT concept? Your whole playlist will make more sense to people who like to become more familiar with the ICT concept. I really appreciate any help you can provide.

[felipeangel]

It amazes me that after 6 years I'm still learning.

[HadesFutures]

great content thanks for making the pdfs and sharing it in such a short duration videos . i watched the original ict videos but these videos are great for a recap

[Sxmutd]

I remember Micheal said for an order block to be valid it should have a fvg coupled with the downward or upward close of the candle acting as support or resistance depending on your bias

[thePontiacBandit]

There's a lower timeframe OB in every FVG. I haven't tested this but I'm guessing it's true.

[cheerup]

Not many people have clarity to explain ... You are a gem buddy ... 👌
