The 'ICT 2022 mentorship model' reframed Inner Circle Trader concepts into a teachable system of liquidity, displacement and fair value gaps — widely used with TradingView. It is powerful but subjective and overhyped. Here is the practical guide.
Core Concepts in the 2022 Model
- Liquidity sweeps: stop hunts above highs/below lows.
- Displacement: strong impulse candles marking institutional intent.
- Fair Value Gaps (FVG): imbalances price often retraces to.
- Order blocks: institutional entry zones.
How Traders Apply It on TradingView
Mark structure on the higher timeframe, tag liquidity and FVGs, then enter on a retrace to an order block with defined stops. Session times (London/NY) add context.
Honest Caution
Levels are subjective — different traders mark different zones. Backtest your interpretation and demo-trade before live money; treat the 'mentorship' narrative with scepticism.
