Video focus

Tactical explanation of ICT/SMC order blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG / sometimes transcribed FBG), and imbalances (IMB).
Practical entry strategy and a top‑down confirmation process.
Emphasis on market microstructure: smart‑money order execution, liquidity, supply/demand zones, and how gaps/imbalances get filled.

No specific tickers, stocks, ETFs, bonds, crypto, or commodities named.
Price‑action concepts and trade tools:
- Order blocks (OB)
- Fair Value Gap (FVG / sometimes FBG)
- Imbalance (IMB)
- Supply/demand zones
- Inducement, liquidity, break of structure (BOS)
Indicator referenced: volume profile (to identify high‑volume supply/demand areas).
Order types discussed: limit orders, stop loss (SL), take profit (TP).

Imbalance (IMB): a market inefficiency where order flow didn’t fully execute; visually shown by gaps or unfilled price ranges.
Fair Value Gap (FVG / FBG): a gap across three consecutive candles where the first and third candle tails don’t connect — interpreted as an unfilled area of liquidity.
Order block (OB): the candle(s) where large (smart‑money) orders were likely placed preceding a strong impulse move.

Practical identification of OBs:

Demand move (price rises after a drop): the candle just below the FVG or the last bearish candle before the rise is the bullish order block.
Supply move (price falls after a rise): the candle just above the FVG or the last bullish candle before the fall is the bearish order block.

Note: Supply/demand zones are broader ranges where buying/selling clustered; order blocks are more specific areas within those zones.

Top‑down analysis: identify market structure on a higher timeframe (example used: 1H) to see swing highs/lows, BOS, and broader OB/FVG.
Drop to a lower timeframe (examples: 5‑minute, 1‑minute) for fine entry details and confirmation.
Locate FVG/IMB visually (gap between candles or unfilled transactions).
Identify the order block:
- Long entries: the candle below the FVG / last bearish candle in the demand zone.
- Short entries: the candle above the FVG / last bullish candle in the supply zone.
Look for inducement/liquidity hunts around the OB area (small pokes that import liquidity).
Place a limit order at the order block (or on a confirmed lower‑TF structure around it).
Place stop loss at the extreme of the order block region (e.g., above OB for shorts; below OB for longs).
Place take profit at the previous visible swing high/low or at a prior liquidity area.
Manage trade size and patience: wait for price to reach the OB; it may come immediately or much later.

Example risk/reward: one example trade returned approximately 5.6R (profit‑to‑risk).
Use strict SL placement (top of OB for shorts in examples) and TP on prior swing levels.
Beware multiple OBs: generally, the most recent (last) order block is the highest‑probability area; earlier OBs can be traps.
Avoid blindly entering the mid‑point (0.5 median) of FVG/OB without proper top‑down confirmation — this can worsen win rate and increase trade frequency.
The visible size/location of order blocks varies by trader and timeframe; do not over‑optimize entries on tiny OBs for smaller SLs unless higher‑timeframe context is confirmed.
Patience is critical: many trades require waiting for price to reach the target OB; inability to wait undermines effectiveness.
Don’t overtrade by entering FVGs unnecessarily — FVGs can be filled without hitting a visible OB.
If uncertain, consider entering the OB on a lower timeframe or waiting for confirmation of structure break (BOS) and inducement fulfillment.

Volume profile can validate supply/demand zones (high traded volume at a zone).
Smart money typically splits large orders and will use liquidity around FVGs / inducements to execute; OBs are the probable zones smart money used.
Chart behavior: candlestick tails vs. bodies matter (e.g., tail closes vs. body closes indicating liquidity import or continuation).
Without a strong understanding of market structure and liquidity, the OB strategy will be hard to apply — study prerequisite concepts first.
