how's it going everyone this video is
going to be about building a model based
off of internal and external liquidity
Concepts now if you don't know what
internal and external liquidity is
please go ahead and check out the video
linked in the top right before watching
this video for those of you that do we
will go ahead and hop into a PDF quickly
review and then talk about the model so
let's get started now the first thing
you need to understand is what is
internal liquidity internal liquidity is
just a fair value Gap now if you don't
know what a fair value Gap is we will
quickly review that but I also have a
video on that as well it is just a three
Candlestick pattern 1 2 3 in which the
wick of the first candle and the wick of
the third candle do not overlap showing
aggressive price action through this
area so you can see 1 2 3 these candles
do not overlap now the next thing to
understand is what is external liquidity
external liquidity is simply highs and
lows so you can see here we have a range
we have a swing High here we have a high
with a lower high on each side creating
a high so that is external liquidity
similarly down here we have a low with a
higher low on each side creating a swing
low so this is external liquidity or
sell-side liquidity and buy side
liquidity now the next thing we're going
to cover is the relation relationship
between the two but since price swept
and could not displace through this
external liquidity is likely to reach
back where internal liquidity now that
price reaches internal liquidity it's
respecting the fair value Gap and you
can see this closure here where do we
expect it to go external liquidity so
you can see price moves from external to
internal and back to external so now
let's take a look at the actual model so
this model is just going to use a higher
time frame level dropping down a time
frame I will look for internal or
external liquidity then on the lower
time frame I will look to make sure I'm
in a Kill Zone I have a stop raid a
market structure shift a fair value Gap
and then I will Target to R so for an
example of this when we swept this
external low and looking for price to
trade to internal then on the lower time
frame we get a market structure shift a
fair value Gap and targeting two are on
the way to this fair value Gap let's go
ahead and hop into to trading View and
go over a few examples of this so here
we are on NQ daily chart and you can see
that we took this low right here now
with this super aggressive close down
here I'm not expecting a retracement
right away so I'll let a few candles
form now if we're going to mark this out
we have a low with a higher low on each
side forming a swing
low now let's see what the next candle
does we get aggressive displacement up
violating this fair value Gap right here
so if I'm going to look for external to
internal I have a fair value Gap resting
right here right around discount of this
range here so using that as my drawn
liquidity or looking for price to draw
to this higher time frame level I'm
going to drop down to the hourly chart
so zooming in here you can see here we
have a candle where this Wick does not
overlap with this Wick so it is a fair
value Gap it is also the new day opening
Gap so having this marked out is our
fair value Gap let's see now that we
have internal liquidity if price reaches
into it during a Kill Zone can we frame
a
trade so here we are going through
London so now that price reached into
this fair value Gap if it is going to
continue to Trend higher and this is
going to form a swing low I'd anticipate
price going from internal to external
liquidity so now that we have our higher
time frame draw which is this daily fair
value Gap and then dropping down a time
frame we have a move from internal to
external liquidity let's drop down
another time frame and see if we can
find a setup so down here on the 5minute
chart you can see we reached down into
the hourly fair value Gap and we come
back up and shift Market structure here
so now I'm looking for the fair value
Gap and if you notice we have a fair
value Gap here as well as a fair value
Gap here so looking to take an entry I'm
going to take an entry on the start of
this fair value Gap but I want to allow
it to be able to trade down into this
fair value Gap I'll put my stop on this
fair value Gap candles low then I'll be
looking to Target 2 R which you can see
is just at these highs even though I
could Target 3.16 r with a total run to
the fair value Gap I'm just going to be
looking at 2 R and I could hold the
runners if want to so letting this play
out let's see what happens so there we
get tagged
in and we get a move higher towards
these highs completing the move from
internal liquidity to external liquidity
and skipping ahead you can see after
hitting RTP if I would have moved my
stop to break even on Runners they would
have been stopped out before reaching
the daily fair value Gap however if I
was just holding my whole position to
the Daily fair value Gap G keeping my
original stop it would have worked out
as well but for this model I'm just
focused on catching 2 R let's hop into
the next example so zooming back out to
the hourly chart you can see we have our
daily fair value gap which was just
targeted in the previous example so we
have an important daily level we just
swept an hourly high so external
liquidity and do we have internal
liquidity resting below well this fair
value Gap was mitigated on the previous
example we have a fair value gap down
here and that will act as our drawn
liquidity so I'm looking for price to
trade off this daily level and then use
the hourly external to internal to frame
a trade let's hop back down to the 5
minute chart to see how we could frame
something now down here on the 5-minute
chart you can see that we have price
Sweeping in this High here and then our
drawn liquidity is lower so we're
looking for price to displace below this
low to give us our shift and Market
structure and there we get displacement
below this low now the next step is to
look for a fair value Gap so here we
have a fair value Gap so if I'm going to
look to enter a position there where
would I want to have my stop well here
you can see most of this price action is
balanced above but in here it's a little
bit messy now I want to have my stop
over opposing candles let's see what
that would look like
but if it's a little messy let's go
ahead and zoom out a time frame so to
the 15 you can see here everything is
balanced you can see there's no fair
value gaps but we do have a little
inversion right here so ideally I'd want
to have my stop above that inversion
then look to Target 2
R going back to the 5 minute chart
another thing I could do is take a
position at the same spot have my stop
on the fair value Gap candles high and
then look to Target 2 R so let's see how
both of these work
out but here we get tagged in hit two r
on the first and two r on the second so
you can see either one of these would
have worked this is just a more
conservative stop loss than this one
here let's go ahead and let this play
out and see if we do reach that hourly
fair value
gap for this next example will also be
on NQ daily chart and so taking a look
at the last few days of price action
what do you see so if just marking out
previous days highs and lows you can see
that Thursday here swept Wednesday's
high and then Friday reversed closing
below the opening price here and you can
see how these previous day lows are all
lined up here and that is low resistance
liquidity so looking for a point of
Interest the two spots that I look for
like this is the opening
price as well as the mean threshold of
this up close candle now just in terms
of premium and discount of the range it
makes more sense to look at the mean
threshold here so dropping down to the
hourly I want to see when we enter a
Kill Zone or reach the point of
interest you can see as this fair value
Gap is holding it doesn't seem like the
opening price is going to push us lower
so we're likely to reach a little bit
further up towards the main threshold of
this you can see we're into London now
do we form a
high nope we do not we just kind of
consolidate and then as we enter to New
York we do reach up into the mean
threshold so this point of Interest now
if you notice on the hourly chart it is
a little bit messy here right so what
can we do can move up a time frame to
the 4our and this cleans it up a little
you can see we have a fair value Gap
right here or internal liquidity and
what do we have resting below these
previous day lows so that is our low
resistance liquidity or our
Target so now dropping back down to the
5 minute chart let's see if we can find
a sweep and an entry on a fair value
Gap so here we are we get a little sweep
of this 830 high and then we displace
lower creating quite a large fair value
Gap so getting our shift and structure
here so with our sweep here in our shift
inst structure we have a very aggressive
displacement down now ideally I don't
want to see this met with displacement
back up because if we have expansion
into expansion it's likely to go higher
so I can either look to take an entry
either at a premium of this range or at
the consequent encroachment of this fair
value Gap or I can let it start to trade
away before I enter in this case we're
going to just take an entry at the
consequent encroachment with my stop on
this high and then looking to Target to
R there we are let's see how this works
out and there we we go we hit 2 R
zooming back out let's go see if we run
these lows which was our draw on
liquidity and we do go run those lows so
if I was to leave Runners it would have
worked out however I'm just interested
in catching two r with this model now in
this next example I realized that not
everyone can look to trade intraday so
we're going to go over a higher time
frame example if you remember from my
important liquidity levels videos
previous candles High and low are
important liquidity levels so you can
see here previous month's low is an
important liquidity level from here I'll
drop down to the daily chart so here on
the daily chart you can see we took
previous month's low before making a
move higher creating equal lows these
equal lows are then ran out and so what
do we notice on the daily chart here
well we also have this kind of megaphone
pattern here which I'll talk about in a
future video but we have external
liquidity looking for where internal
liquidity and another thing you can
notice is this is sitting right around
discount of this range so with that idea
in mind we'll drop down to the hourly
chart and look for a shift in structure
and then a fair value Gap entry so if
we're looking for a shift in structure
we have the down move here I want to see
a market structure shift here and then a
fair value Gap entry
so here we get a market structure shift
and what do we have right here a fair
value
Gap so looking to take an entry there my
stop on this low and then looking to
Target to R which puts us right at these
highs resting right below the fair value
Gap let's see how this works
out takes a little bit of draw down here
and there we go we go and hit our TP so
this is a great example of moving time
frames around if I can't trade intraday
on The Daily hour and 5 minute chart I
can move that up to the monthly daily
and then hourly chart to get an entry
for either a swing trade or just a
larger time frame where I don't have to
watch intraday movement so here we are
with another example on the higher time
frames and what do we notice right here
we have internal liquidity or a higher
time frame level on the weekly chart so
I'm anticipating this to go internal
liquidity to external liquidity or reach
from this fair value Gap to this high
now dropping down to the 4H hour chart
from the weekly chart what do I want to
look for here well I could just use this
as my entry time frame and look for a
shift in Market structure and a fair
value Gap to then go higher but I can
also wait for internal to external on
the 4H hour chart and then drop down
lower for an entry let's see if we get
that so here there's actually a few ways
we could trade this but we reach this
external liquidity now we have internal
liquidity so I would anticipate price
dropping down into this internal
liquidity but since it is against my
higher time frame bias I would rather
not trade this retracement wait for the
retracement to occur and then trade the
expansion out of this so let's see what
the next candle does here we do get that
moved down now that we're internal
looking for external let's drop down to
the 15-minute chart looking for this
move from the fair value Gap to this
high so now that we're down here on the
15minute chart you can see we have that
internal 4-Hour fair value Gap reaching
for the external High I'm anticipating
this to be a market maker buy model do
we have a shift in Market structure we
do
so now from here I'm looking for a
retracement to a fair value gap which we
do have right here now let's see how
this plays out we actually make another
fair value Gap right here why would I
prefer this one well it's just closer to
a discount of this range as well as
lining up with the bodies of this
breaker block here now if I'm looking to
trade this I want my stop on the low or
below the down close candles here and
then I'll be looking to have my Target
at 2 R now this is a little bit over
this high but that is fine because we
are trading with the higher time frame
order flow let's see how this works
out here we do get tagged
in and there we go finally hit RTP there
now if we zoom out here you can see why
it's easier to trade with the higher
time frame order flow a retracement I
was just talking about earlier if I
didn't reach my 2 r it would have came
and stopped me back out but here I'm
anticipating price to reach for this
high so even if I was to let runners go
can get a very high R trade let's see
what
happens and there we go we continue
higher I hope you found this video and
model helpful I did give a few examples
of higher time frame setups as well as
intraday setups now I personally prefer
a daily hour and 5 minute setups as it
aligns with the formation of the daily
candle but I also dropped a few higher
time frame setups as I've been asked in
the comment sections to do so now I hope
you have a great rest of your day and
I'll see you guys next time have a good
one
