Model ICT 2022: The Classic 2022 Mentorship Setup
Model ICT 2022 is a trading model widely introduced by Michael J. Huddleston himself in the 2022 advisor. This is a complete trading setup, combining both large money flow elements, liquidity sweeps, reversal market structure and optimal entry points.
1. Structure of Model ICT 2022
The model works based on 4 mandatory sequential steps:
- Identify HTF Bias & POI: Identify strong resistance/support zones (Order Block, FVG, Liquidity Pool) on large frames (H4/D1).
- Liquidity Sweep: Wait for the price to touch POI and perform a short-term top/bottom liquidity sweep (Stop Hunt) on a smaller time frame (M5/M15).
- Market Structure Shift (MSS): The price turns strongly, creating a break through the bottom/top of the nearest structure with candles with large bodies and fast moving force (Displacement).
- Enter an order (Entry at FVG): When MSS occurs and leaves an FVG, place a Limit order at this FVG when the price regresses to test (Retest).
📷 Figure 15.1: Actual Model ICT 2022 trading pattern on 5-minute Nasdaq chart. The price touched the POI resistance area of the HTF large frame, performed a liquidity sweep of the old top (Stop Hunt), then fell hard, breaking the nearest bottom structure (MSS) with Displacement to create a gap in FVG price. The Sell order is activated when the price returns to retest this FVG zone.
2. Order Management and Stop Loss
- Stop Loss: Place just above the highest peak of the liquidity sweep for a Sell position, or below the lowest low for a Buy position.
- Take Profit: Place at the next reciprocal liquidity zone on the chart (old Sell-side Liquidity for Sell orders).
