How to Trade with the NWOG/NDOG & Event Horizon PD Array Indicator
Traders have long viewed New Week and Day Opening Gaps as crucial indicators of potential support or resistance levels. According to trader ICT, these gaps are significant, particularly in markets that are consolidating. Under such conditions, prices often revert to these gaps, aligning with broader analytical notions that prices naturally gravitate towards filling these gaps over time.
Furthermore, the introduction of the Event Horizon PD Array by ICT represents an advancement in trading strategies. Positioned as intermediary levels determined by the average between adjacent NWOGs or NDOGs, EHPDAs create critical zones.
According to ICT, these EHPDAs function as "barriers" that prevent prices from "escaping" towards specific NWOGs. Instead, they create funnels directing surges towards NWOGs that prices approach closely but have not fully reached. This characteristic makes them invaluable for traders seeking to understand where price momentum might encounter resistance, redirect, or intensify in its current path.
