The ICT concepts as a PDF, on real charts
Structure, liquidity, PD arrays, timing: every notion of the method on one page, with a real TradingView chart instead of the ideal sketch.
This free 48-page PDF guide gathers 32 ICT notions — order block, fair value gap, breaker, liquidity sweep, killzones, the PD array matrix — and shows each one on a real Nasdaq 100 or S&P 500 chart, with what to look for.

What is inside
Four parts, in the order you read a chart: market structure says which way to look, liquidity says where price has reasons to go, PD arrays say where it is likely to react, timing says at what hour any of it means something. One page opens the guide on the full sequence, from bias to exit, and another sets the PD arrays out in ICT’s classic matrix.
Each notion fits on one page: its definition, a real chart annotated with what to look for, and the core of the glossary entry — how to spot it, how to use it. Each part closes on what the indicator does with those notions, and on what it does not.
Why real charts
A diagram shows the idea clean; a real market never is. A real FVG fills halfway, a breaker gets retested twice, a sweep leaves a wick nobody would have drawn. Those are the charts you need to learn to recognise a notion on, not the textbook case.
The examples come from the Nasdaq 100, the S&P 500 and NQ futures, on New York time. They were chosen because they read clearly, never because they won: the guide promises no win rate, and none of these zones works every time. The online glossary remains the long version of each notion, with the same charts.
