InnerCircleTrader@All: locate the stops
InnerCircleTrader@All: you found your grail
InnerCircleTrader@All: for a real easy and crash course on stop runs
InnerCircleTrader@All: look at all the swings on any chart
InnerCircleTrader@All: look just a bit to the left of their formation

Hogarste said:A mitigation block is when a bullish order block (reverse for bearish) has been broken down through (failed) and price retraces back up to it, so those who were long look to get short and mitigate their losses. It's vaguely similar to support becoming resistance and resistance becoming support, but understanding that its based on Institutional Order Flow. There are other aspects that I think ICT will teach in upcoming videos, such as the breaker concept.
ICT teaches the difference between OB's and supply and demand zones, which is an important thing, as it's the difference between understanding that there can be precision attained by understanding Institutional buy / sell programs which really move the markets, versus the concept of Supply and Demand zones, which implies a market place (that does not exist) that is free of manipulation. Having said that, I was familiar with S/D when learning the ICT order blocks and I think it made learning the OB's easier to grasp.

Testing out Oanda MT4 and the timezone seems to be GMT+2. Asian range is all wonky, what parameters do you set?
Can't do 17-3 which is what it shows on their charts.. wtf.

You will have to later modify the GMT setting when NY switches to dst.
Below are the Sessions, the beige box being the Asian Range. The table displays the corresponding time in several Timzones & Sessions, together with the GMT offset. Use NY for Oanda, hence the AR will be 19:00 to 00:00 (or more correctly 23:59
