CBDR - Most Powerful ICT Strategy | Predict Daily High & Low | Detailed explanation in Hindi |

Summary

The video explains a rule-based intraday strategy using the Central Bank Dealers Range (CBDR) and projected standard-deviation (SD) levels. The presenter says these levels can help traders plan for possible extensions, targets, and reversal areas before the trading day develops. They are reference levels, not guaranteed daily highs or lows.

Framework and key levels

• CBDR window: 2:00–8:00 p.m. New York time, stated as 11:30 p.m.–5:30 a.m. Indian time. Mark the high and low formed during this window.
• Standard deviation: The CBDR’s high-to-low range is treated as 1 SD. Project that range upward from the CBDR high and downward from its low to plot ±1, ±2, and ±3 SD levels.
• The presenter characterizes ±1 SD as a common extension, ±2 SD as a frequent target or reversal area, and ±3 SD as a rarer, more extreme move—sometimes associated with major news.
• The video claims that about 80% of the time, price stays within the stated typical range, while emphasizing that it can move beyond it. This is a presenter claim, not a verified performance statistic.

Trading rules described

• Do not trade while price is inside the CBDR range. Treat it as a likely consolidation zone and wait for a clear break.
• After a breakout, look for a qualifying candle in the opposite direction:
  • Downside break: Wait for a green candle, then sell on a break of its low.
  • Upside break: Wait for a red candle, then buy on a break of its high.
• The presenter excludes doji-like candles and candles whose bodies do not clearly qualify outside the range.
• If price returns inside the CBDR after the breakout or qualifying candle, disregard the setup and wait for a fresh break and new qualifying candle. The presenter says this filter is intended to reduce false entries.
• Example stop placement is above the prior candle or swing high for a short, and below the swing low for a long. A small buffer may be used.
• Use SD levels as potential targets and reaction areas, while also considering risk/reward rather than automatically holding for ±2 or ±3 SD.
• One management rule is to move the stop to breakeven after reaching 1.5R if holding for a larger target. The examples mention outcomes around 1.5R, 2R, 3R, 4R, and an approximately 7.5R move attributed to a news-driven market move.
• The presenter says a tight CBDR may offer better opportunities for this setup, while a large CBDR can make the day less suitable. Consider the day’s trend or bias when choosing between continuation and reversal trades.
• The video recommends practising the rules over 50–100 trades before relying on them.
