CICT: Custom ICT + Price Action Trading Strategy

Overview

CICT (Custom ICT) is a trading system that blends Smart Money Concepts (SMC) and Price Action. It combines
institutional-level market structure and liquidity analysis with candlestick-based confirmation strategies.

Step-by-Step Integration

1. Use ICT/SMC Concepts for Context:


- Market Structure (HH/HL or LH/LL)
- Liquidity Pools (above highs / below lows)
- Order Blocks (OB), Fair Value Gaps (FVG), Inducement Zones

2. Wait for Price to Enter the POI (Point of Interest):


- Could be an OB, FVG, or a known liquidity zone

3. Use Price Action for Entry Confirmation:


- Candlestick Patterns: Engulfing, Pin Bars, Inside Bars
- Break of Structure (BOS), Change of Character (CHoCH)

4. Entry Execution:
- Enter after confirmation pattern on lower timeframe (LTF)
- Stop-loss below structure / OB low
- Take-profit at next OB or liquidity target

Sample Trading Model

Example:
1. Daily OB + liquidity sweep = Bullish Bias
2. 4H shows bullish BOS = Entry Setup Confirmed
3. Price retraces into 4H OB = Wait
4. On 15M chart, look for CHoCH + bullish engulfing
5. Enter trade; SL below swing low, TP at next high

Summary Checklist

Step | ICT/SMC Role | Price Action Role


---------------|---------------------------------|-------------------
Market Bias | OBs, Liquidity Sweeps | N/A
Zone Marking | OBs, FVGs, Liquidity Zones | N/A
Entry Confirm | CHoCH, BOS | Candlestick Setup
SL/TP Levels | Structure Levels | Candle Extremes
