CandelaCharts - Imbalance Concepts

1月17日

📝 Overview

Imbalance Concepts is an advanced toolkit rooted in ICT (Inner Circle Trader) principles, specifically designed to identify and highlight critical areas of support and resistance within financial markets. This toolkit focuses on detecting market imbalances that can indicate potential turning points or high-probability zones for price action.



The key components of the toolkit include:

• Fair Value Gaps (FVG)
  
• Inversion Fair Value Gaps (IFVG)
  
• Balanced Price Range (BPR)
  
• Volume Imbalances (VI)
  
• Opening Gaps (OG)
  

The toolkit automatically detects these imbalances and visually marks them on charts, allowing traders to quickly identify key zones for analysis. This enables more informed decision-making, as these imbalances often signal the potential for major market shifts, reversals, or continuation patterns.

By integrating Imbalance Concepts, traders can focus on critical price areas that have a high likelihood of influencing future price action.

📒 Usage

The key components of trading imbalances include:

• Step 1 – Identify Market Trend: Begin by determining the market trend for the asset, whether it is bullish or bearish.
  
• Step 2 – Locate Premium and Discount Zones: In a bearish market, focus on identifying the premium Imbalance, while in a bullish market, look for the discount Imbalance.
  
• Step 3 – Detect Liquidity Sweep: After identifying the trend, the next step is to spot a liquidity sweep, which often indicates a potential price reversal or continuation.
  
• Step 4 – Detect Change In State of Delivery: Following the liquidity sweep, the next step is to recognize a CISD, which frequently serves as a confirmation of a potential price reversal.
  
• Step 5 – Execute the Trade: In a bullish market, wait for the price to retrace and test the discount imbalance, aiming to balance the price movement before entering the trade.
  

NOTES:

You always short only on Premium, and long on Discount.
