ICT Models are structured trade setups based on the concepts taught by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT). These models combine multiple smart money concepts, like liquidity, market structure, fair value gaps, and displacement, to help traders find high-probability entries and directional moves.
Each model has a specific set of conditions and follows a repeatable price behavior pattern. These aren’t random signals — they are built around how price delivers in relation to liquidity, key time sessions, and institutional order flow.
In this section, we’ll break down each model step by step so you can understand how and why it works and how to apply it.
- ICT Model 1 (HTF + BOS + FVG)
- ICT Model 2 (HTF POI + MSS + IDM + FVG)
- ICT Model 3 (HTF POI + MSS + FVG + OTE)
- ICT Model 4 (HTF POI + MSS + IDM + FVG + OTE)
- ICT Model 5 (The 5 Box Setup)
