Retail Concepts + Liquidity
Core idea
Retail patterns become useful only when their highs and lows are understood as pools of stop orders—not as magical shapes.
Lesson map
From indicators to context
The creator traces his path from naked price action and indicator stacks to supply and demand, The Strat, and finally ICT concepts.
The H pattern
An H or inverse-H often completes at the low or high of day because those extremes collect stop-loss orders.
The Strat candles
A 1 is inside the prior candle, a 2 breaks one side, and a 3 trades outside both sides. Setups such as 2-1-2 and 3-2-2 aim for the next candle extreme.
Limits and chop
The Strat may help with direction, but entries can have poor reward-to-risk. A broadening formation signals both sides being swept and potentially poor New York conditions.
