CHoCH vs MSS: Early Structural Reversal Triggers

When the trend is about to change, the market will send warning signals. The two most common concepts are CHoCH and MSS. Although many people use these two concepts together, in ICT they have subtle differences:

1. CHoCH (Change of Character) - Reverses the large frame structure

CHoCH is a change in the nature of price movement on a large time frame (HTF). It marks the end of the impulse wave and the market begins to reverse or enter a new accumulation phase.

2. MSS (Market Structure Shift) - Order entry frame shift signal

MSS is often searched for on small time frame (LTF) when the price touches the PD Array area of ​​the large frame (for example, the price touches the Daily FVG barrier and MSS appears on the 15m frame). This is a direct signal to find the order trigger point.
