OTE

What is OTE?

OTE, or Optimal Trade Entry, is a concept introduced by the Inner Circle Trader (ICT). It revolves around using Fibonacci retracement levels to identify the most advantageous entry points in a trade. The idea is to find the "sweet spot" where the probability of a successful trade is highest.

Key Fibonacci Levels

The OTE concept relies heavily on specific Fibonacci levels. Here are the key levels used in this strategy:

0% - First Partial Profit

62% - 62 Percent

100% - Stoploss

70.5% - Optimal Trade Entry (OTE)

79% - 79 Percent

-62% - Target 2

-27% - Target 1

-100% - Symmetrical Swing

-200% - 200 Percent

-300% - 300 Percent

50% - Equilibrium

How to Use OTE

To use the OTE concept effectively, follow these steps:

Identify a swing high and swing low on your chart.

Anchor the Fibonacci retracement tool at these points.

Look for the price to retrace to the 70.5% level, which is considered the optimal entry point.

Set your stop loss at the 100% level and take partial profits at the 0% level.

Use the other Fibonacci levels to set additional profit targets.
