Narrative
We build narrative using the high and low of the range between 08:00 AM to 09:30 AM
EST (90m Window). These swing points are our initial references for trade going into
10:00 AM to 10:30 AM.
08:00 AM EST
09:30 AM EST
Time is the most important element as always.
01
Market
Manipulation
Post 09:30 AM, the price will trade to one of these reference points to stop out early
participants.
This stop out is the Venom Model.
Buyside
09:30 AM
Sellside
Focusing on how market makers and institutional traders manipulate price action to
create liquidity, setting traps for retail traders and positioning themselves for profitable
trades. The model itself highlights the mechanics behind these market manipulations
and how retail traders can identify these moves in advance.
02
FVG’s
For a Venom Model to work, there must be an inefficient run into and out of a reference
point (like a HTF PDA such as FVG. This means the price moves quickly and sharply to
the level, creating an imbalance, then reverses just as quickly. This traps retail traders
and allows institutions to profit by grabbing the liquidity created from the false move.
But there is an important criteria that needs to be met. There needs to be an inefficient
run into and out of a reference point for it to be a Venom.

This is the highest form of reversal pattern per ICT.
The underlying premise of Venom model: stop out profit-able individuals
Draw on Liquidity
If the weekly draw is clear, we frame the buyside/sellside (initial reference) with that
direction in mind.
Once we get venom model reversal, we can use IOFED for entry.

Negative
Conditions:
Lack of Inefficient Run: If the price doesn't move sharply into and out of the
reference point, but rather in a more gradual or smooth manner, it doesn't create the
necessary liquidity trap, which weakens the setup.
Weak or Unclear Reference Points: If the reference points (such as support,
resistance, or swing highs/lows) are not clearly defined or lack significance, the price
may not react as expected, making the trade setup less reliable.
Low Volume or Low Liquidity: If market volume is low, the price may not move with
the typical institutional force behind it, making the setup less powerful and
increasing the risk of false signals.
Opposing Market Structure: If the overall market structure (e.g., higher highs, higher
lows, etc.) contradicts the direction of the Venom move, the setup may not align
with the broader trend, leading to potential losses.
News Events or High Volatility: Major news events or unexpected volatility can cause
erratic price movement, which might distort the Venom setup and lead to
unpredictable outcomes, making it riskier.
