Strategy overview

A liquidity sweep is the run through an obvious high or low where stop orders rest, after which price often reverses. What separates this entry is that the sweep is not presented as a setup in its own right: the video teaches ICT's Market Maker Buy Model, a narrative template in which liquidity is a waypoint inside a longer campaign rather than an event to react to. The title's promise — finding the market's liquidity points — is framed as the input to that model, not the conclusion.

Two things follow from that framing. First, the model is attributed to an actor: "market maker" implies the move was engineered, which puts the trader in the posture of anticipating where a campaign is headed rather than grading a sweep as it prints. Second, it is directional by construction — a buy model has a mirrored sell-side counterpart that this video does not cover, so what is taught here is one half of a symmetrical pair. The video is also delivered in Spanish by TradingICT, which places it in the Spanish-language teaching layer that has grown around a framework whose canon is largely English.

No rules were extracted from this source, so this page stays at the level of the concept and the video itself: the Market Maker Buy Model as a way of locating liquidity within a sequence, and the channel's Spanish-language treatment of it. Anyone applying it should note that the model as taught here is descriptive — it names phases and reference points without committing to a timeframe or a market.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Market Maker Buy Model in ICT?

In ICT terminology it is a narrative template rather than a single entry trigger: it describes a sequence in which price works through liquidity on one side of the market before moving toward liquidity on the other, with the phases of that sequence used as reference points. It is the buy-side version of the pattern.

Is there a sell-side version of this model?

Yes — the Market Maker Sell Model is its mirror image. This video covers the buy model only, so the sell-side sequence would need to be studied separately.

Why do market maker models focus on liquidity points?

Because the model assumes price is drawn toward areas where orders rest. Locating those points is what gives the model a destination, which is why the video treats finding liquidity as the first task rather than a confirmation step.

The video is in Spanish — can I still follow what it covers?

The video is in Spanish, from the TradingICT channel. Strategy Decoder's summaries are written in English, so you can see what a source covers and how it approaches the concept before deciding whether to watch it.
