ICT Daily Bias Explained


One of the cornerstones of Inner Circle
Trader’s 2022 mentorship model is the
concept of ICT daily bias. This blog post will
provide insights into understanding daily

bias, guiding you in identifying key factors


essential for establishing a robust daily bias
in your trading strategy.

Understanding the ICT Daily Bias in


Trading

The concept of daily bias revolves around


the identification of sell-side and buy-side
liquidity, fair value gaps, order blocks,
volume imbalances, and recent highs and
lows.

These elements collectively represent draws


on liquidity, guiding market movement from
one liquidity pocket to another.
The approach involves analyzing these
aspects on both weekly and daily
timeframes, recognizing that price behavior
and respect for these elements may vary
with the timeframe.

Fractality of Price Movement

Price movement in trading is fractal,


meaning that patterns and behaviors
observed on higher timeframes like weekly
often mirror those on lower timeframes like
daily. However, lower timeframes may
exhibit more noise and are prone to greater
price disrespect of identified trends and
patterns.

Utilizing Weekly Bias for Daily Analysis

Understanding the weekly market trend is


essential for establishing a clear daily bias. If
the weekly trend is bullish, for instance, the
focus on a daily timeframe would involve
identifying opportunities to go long and
targeting specific highs for potential trades.

Step-by-Step Approach For


Developing ICT Daily Bias.
Step 1

To establish a daily bias, begin by analyzing


the D1 timeframe on the chart. According to
Michle Hudleston, Institutional traders and
banks utilize the daily chart to execute their
orders effectively.
As shown in the chart above, start by
marking the recent swing high and swing
low using the trend line tool. This marking
should be done at the beginning of the
week, aiming to anticipate the direction of
price movement rather than pinpointing the
precise value it will reach.

Step 2

The second step involves identifying the


drawn-on liquidity. Determine whether the
recent algorithm activity leans towards sell-
side or buy-side liquidity on the daily
timeframe. If the price has recently swept
the sell-side liquidity, there is a strong
likelihood that the next drawn-on liquidity
will be buy-side, and vice versa. In the chart
below, you can observe that the price has
recently interacted with sell-side liquidity,
and the next anticipated drawn-on liquidity
is on the buy-side.

Step 3

For the third step in establishing the ICT


daily bias, examine whether the price is

within a premium or discount zone. If the


price resides in the premium zone, your bias

should lean towards a short position.


Conversely, if the price is in the discount

zone or below 50%, your bias should favor a


long position.
Step 4

Are there any fair value gaps or order blocks


that substantiate your analysis?
