What is ICT 2022 Model in ICT?

A commonly taught intraday framework from ICT's 2022 mentorship, combining liquidity raid, market structure shift and FVG retracement.

Definition of ICT 2022 Model

A sequence often summarized as: establish bias, wait for liquidity to be taken, confirm MSS/displacement, then use FVG retracement for entry.

How to identify ICT 2022 Model

Set higher-timeframe bias and target; identify relevant liquidity; wait for raid; require structural shift; mark FVG; plan stop beyond logical invalidation.
