#TradingMistakes101 Spot a Smart Liquidity Zone
Look for recent swing highs/lows, clean support/resistance, or areas with long wicks.
These zones often attract stop orders and are prime for liquidity grabs .
2. Wait for the Liquidity Grab
Watch for price to momentarily push through the zone (wick) then snap back.
This indicates a stop-hunt and traps breakout traders — creating a potential reversal zone .
3. Drill Down to a 5-Min Chart for the Entry
After the wick shows up on higher timeframes, switch to 5-min.
Look for validation like an engulfing candle, market structure shift (CHoCH), or volume confirmation before entering .
4. Execute with Sniper-Like Discipline
Entry: Close of confirmation candle
Stop-Loss: Tight, just beyond the wick
Take-Profit: Minimum 2× (ideally 3×) risk for optimal RR

🧠 Beginner Tips
React—don’t predict. Wait for the wick to form.
Practice in replay mode—run it through 10–20 reps.
Start small: even $50 with disciplined sniper entries can compound over time.
