Strategy overview

ICT (Inner Circle Trader) reads price as a story about liquidity — where resting orders sit, how price is drawn toward them, and what the imbalances left behind reveal about who holds control. Rather than trade a single setup, this entry decodes a video built as a primer: Jesse Rogers of Casper Trading walks through five of ICT's foundational terms — the liquidity sweep, the fair value gap, the inverse fair value gap, market structure, and the market structure break — one definition at a time.

That framing is what sets this page apart from the many fair-value-gap pages that treat the gap as one gear inside a live setup. Here the FVG is not the centerpiece — it is one of five co-equal terms, defined back-to-back rather than combined into a single trade. The video's structure is essentially a glossary: a short, sequential run through each definition, presented as the minimal vocabulary most ICT-style, price-action analysis is written in — from where liquidity rests, to the imbalances a fast move leaves behind, to reading whether structure has genuinely shifted.

The source video is titled "The 5 ICT Concepts That Actually Work (Simple And Proven)"; the "proven" claim is the creator's framing for the set, not a measured result. This page introduces the five concepts and the video behind them, so you can see how the terms fit together as a starting vocabulary before looking for them on a chart.

Frequently asked questions

What are the five ICT concepts covered in this video?

The video defines five ICT building blocks in sequence: the liquidity sweep, the fair value gap (FVG), the inverse fair value gap, market structure, and the market structure break. They are presented as core terms to learn one after another, not as a single combined entry setup.

Is this a ready-to-trade strategy or an explanation of concepts?

It is structured as a primer. The source video defines each concept in turn to establish the vocabulary shared across many ICT setups, rather than laying out one specific entry-and-exit routine.

What is a market structure break in ICT?

Market structure is the sequence of highs and lows that shows which side currently controls price; a market structure break is the point where that sequence shifts, signaling a possible change in control. The video defines it as the last of its five concepts.

How can I put these ICT concepts to use?

Learn each definition first, then look for the terms appearing together on historical price before risking capital. Strategy Decoder catalogs concept-based videos like this one so you can study the vocabulary and test setups built from it on TradingView.
