DRAW ON LIQUIDITY

Where Is Price Going Before It Arrives -- The Most Powerful ICT Concept

The Draw on Liquidity (DOL) is the concept that separates traders who anticipate from traders who react. While retail traders wonder "where will price go?" after it has already moved, ICT traders identify the next liquidity target BEFORE price reaches it. This is not prediction -- it is understanding the algorithmic sequence that governs all price delivery.

Draw on Liquidity  --  ICT concept diagram

The Draw on Liquidity is always the next unmitigated liquidity pool -- price is magnetically drawn toward it

// Lesson Content
The Draw on Liquidity is the next logical price target -- the specific level where the algorithm is delivering price next. It is always a pool of liquidity: a cluster of stop orders, pending orders, or unfilled institutional orders that the algorithm needs to reach to continue the delivery cycle. The DOL concept is built on a simple truth: price never moves randomly from one level to another. Every move has a destination -- a liquidity pool that needs to be collected before the next phase of the cycle begins. Once you can identify that destination, you know where to place your take-profit, how far to expect price to travel, and whether a developing move is likely to continue or reverse. Think of it like a chess game. Amateur players react to the last move. Masters see five moves ahead. ICT traders identify the DOL before the move starts -- then enter at the pullback and ride price to the target.
📌 The DOL is always a liquidity pool -- BSL above a high, SSL below a low, or an institutional zone like a FVG. Price does not move to arbitrary levels -- it moves from one pool to the next.
