ICT Concepts Integration: Order Block, FVG & Market Structure Shift

Combine smart money concepts with price action for high-probability trading


ICT concepts help traders understand institutional behavior. Combining Order Blocks, Fair Value Gaps, and Structure Shifts creates a powerful trading system.

1. Order Block (OB)

  • Last opposite candle before strong move
  • Institutional buying or selling zone
Price often returns to order block before continuing trend.

2. Fair Value Gap (FVG)

  • Gap between candles (imbalance)
  • Created by strong movement
Market tends to fill imbalance before moving further.

3. Market Structure Shift (MSS)

  • Break of previous high/low
  • Confirms change in direction
MSS is confirmation of entry direction.

4. ICT Combo Strategy

  1. Identify trend
  2. Wait for liquidity sweep
  3. Confirm MSS
  4. Mark OB or FVG
  5. Enter at zone

5. Entry Logic

  • Enter at OB or FVG
  • Wait for rejection candle
  • Confirm structure direction

6. Stop Loss

  • Below OB (buy)
  • Above OB (sell)

7. Target

  • Previous high/low
  • Next liquidity zone

Common Mistakes

  • Entering without MSS
  • Ignoring liquidity sweep
  • Trading random zones

Final Insight

Smart money leaves footprints. ICT concepts help you follow them.
