Core Concept
"you can blend two patterns together within a market setup" - combining the ICT Bearish Breaker or Bullish Breaker pattern with an Optimal Trade Entry for precision entries
This methodology blends two distinct ICT patterns to create high-probability trade setups by using the economic calendar to identify timing, the breaker pattern to identify structure, and optimal trade entry levels to refine the entry point within specific time windows.
The approach combines a breaker pattern (bearish or bullish) with an optimal trade entry using Fibonacci retracement levels (62%-79%) to create precision entry zones.
"i don't care what the actual is i don't care what the forecast is i don't know i don't care what the previous is i'm not concerned about that i'm looking at the red indication here that's a high impact market driver"
"i've been teaching 8 30 to 11 o'clock in the morning eastern time you can find setups you can find optimal trade entries there"
Economic Calendar Framework
"regardless of the information or the data that's released it can have a lot of impact and cause displacement in price and that's what we're looking for"
What to Look For
Focus on medium impact or high impact economic events (indicated by red markers on economic calendars) that can cause displacement in price.
"if it's set to release during the london session or if it's set to release during asia that time frame okay just sets the narrative"
The actual numbers, forecasts, and previous data are not relevant - only the timing and impact level of the event matter for this setup.
All charts must be set to Eastern Time (New York Time) for consistency. The 8:30 AM - 11:00 AM window begins when the news embargo lifts at 8:30 AM Eastern.
Bearish Pattern Example
Economic Event: RBA Rate Statement and Cash Rate at 11:30 PM Eastern (23:30 on chart)
ICT Bearish Breaker Structure
"this high this low and the higher high that's a pattern that i teach on this youtube channel which is my ict bearish breaker"
Bearish Pattern Workflow
-
Identify Buy Side Liquidity
"this liquidity that will be resting above here would be in the form of buy stops we call it buy side liquidity"
-
Wait for the Run
"we're not trying to forecast a move we're waiting to see does it run above that and will it stay above it well it doesn't it goes above it and rejects and breaks down"
-
Identify the Breaker
"if this low is taken out which it is taken out here and trades back up to it during a specific time of day"
-
Wait for New York Session
"you don't need to be up trading in london you can wait till new york session"
-
Apply Optimal Trade Entry
"we can have a short on two things the fact that we traded back up to the breaker which is this low and an optimal trade entry using this high here"
Fibonacci Application
"we're going to take that fib and all we're doing is getting a measurement of overbought oversold it's not the fib that's causing the magic here"
The Fibonacci retracement is drawn from the London Kill Zone session high to the low formed ahead of the 8:30 New York session. The 62%-79% retracement zone creates the Optimal Trade Entry, which overlaps with the bearish breaker level.
"we have an overlap of seventy nine nine and nine pipettes see that right there with the standard deviation of negative five"
Target Selection
"we have an old level of equal lows as i teach again on this youtube channel so there's sell side liquidity on here"
Bullish Pattern Example
Pattern: Bullish Breaker + Bullish Optimal Trade Entry into London Open Kill Zone
Bullish Breaker Structure
"we're looking at the 9th of october and you have a low high and low"
Bullish Pattern Workflow
"you're going to use the up close candle prior to the swing lower creating a lower low on this price structure that is a run on the sell side liquidity if price goes above it trades back down to it this could act as bullishness"
-
Identify Sell Side Liquidity Run
Price creates equal lows, then runs below them to take out sell side liquidity
-
Identify Bullish Breaker
Low, High, Lower Low structure - the up close candle prior to the swing creating the lower low becomes the breaker level
-
Apply Optimal Trade Entry
"we have an optimal trade entry which is the low to high trades down to it with the kill zone there's where your trade is"
-
Target Buy Side Liquidity
"low a day expansion with bullishness attacking the draw on liquidity which is the buy side liquidity after it ran the equal lows down here"
Target Precision
"we have a projected high at 0.72431 and it's above this level here" - "the high on this price swing comes in at seven two four three and two so really close went one pip up beyond"
Complete Framework
The Narrative
"it's the narrative behind the specific level that's being referred to that's what makes this level as i teach it"
"i'm not teaching you support and resistance because if that's the case why not just use this low or these lows or this low or these lows here why aren't we referring to any of those it's the narrative"
Pattern Overlap Requirements
The specific low (bearish breaker) or high (bullish breaker) that gets violated and then retested becomes the breaker level - extended in time into the New York session window.
Fibonacci retracement from session high to low (bearish) or low to high (bullish) creates the 62%-79% optimal entry zone that should overlap with the breaker level.
"you have up to 11 o'clock to take to take the trade so we have an overlap of the breaker and optimal trade entry"
Frequency & Repeatability
"you have a dandy of an opportunity that repeats a couple times a month"
"just use the new york 8 30 to 11 o'clock and frame it with an optimal straight entry and a breaker"
You do not need to trade during London or Asian sessions - wait for the New York 8:30-11:00 window to use the volume that comes in during this time of day.
Combined Pattern Benefits
"combining two patterns to get precision elements reaching for liquidity pools above relative equal highs"
The breaker pattern provides the structural narrative - why this specific level matters based on how liquidity was engineered
The optimal trade entry provides the refined entry zone using Fibonacci levels that align with institutional retracement levels
The 8:30-11:00 window provides the volume and institutional participation needed to drive price to the liquidity targets
