Discover how the Market Algorithm Captures Liquidity: ICT Perspective
In the world of trading, especially from the perspective of the ICT (Inner Circle Trader) theory, the market does not move randomly. On the contrary, it is guided by a sophisticated algorithm designed to deliver prices with a clear objective: to capture liquidity.
What is Liquidity? Liquidity refers to the buy and sell orders that traders place at different price levels. These orders accumulate in specific zones such as lows, highs, supports and resistances, creating what is known as "liquidity pools".

After losing more than 65% in copy trades and learning from the losses, I started to take it more calmly. I decided to start trading Futures with $10 and do a better analysis before taking any trades. I tried ADA with only 5$ and 5x leverage, and made $0.71. I waited for the right moment to enter and exit, always with SL and TP. Maybe I could have held and exited with more profits later, but honestly, I was afraid of not getting there, and as I've learned, you shouldn't get carried away by greed. I'm not looking for large amounts or significant changes overnight, just to learn and master it more, manage risk better, and above all, improve little by little.
he who does not take profits sleeps with the fishes, you should manage your capital chart as an index of how well or poorly your portfolio and the crypto ecosystem are doing
I find it hard to believe they use so many moving averages, in a range it looks like a plate of spaghetti đđ

$ETH : It remains weak and that makes our #altcoins not fly. Unfortunately, #ethereum does not take off quickly, as long as it does not drop below 1,980 we have hope. #eth is one of the 30 Altcoins I have along with $BTC in my portfolio.

â Flag
A flag can be used as an entry pattern for the continuation of an established trend.
Typically, the formation occurs after a sharp price movement that may contain gaps (known as the mast or pole of the flag), where the flag represents a period of indecision at the midpoint of the complete movement, consolidating the prior stage or leg.
The price is found in a small symmetrical triangle that starts wide and ends converging at a point as the pattern develops.
Bullish flags can form after an upward trend and, conversely, bearish flags after a downward trend. The pattern is completed when the price breaks the triangle in the direction of the previous trend, at which point it is likely to continue in that direction.
đ¨ Copy Trading: Binance Business or a Trap for Novices? đ¨
If you ever thought that Copy Trading on Binance was the "easy" way to make money without experience, think twice. The reality is that most of the traders Binance allows you to copy do not have a profitable track record or a minimum performance filter.
đ In the image, you can see the disaster: đ´ -34.85%, -1.72% and -98.32% ROI in simulated copy trading strategies. â If this were real, how much would you have lost?
Binance sells you the idea of copying "expert traders", but what control exists to ensure they are truly good? Anyone can open an account, make a few lucky trades, and appear as an "expert", but after a few weeks, the result is the same: they bleed the accounts of their followers.
đĄ Moral: 1ď¸âŁ Learning to trade is mandatory if you want to survive in this market. 2ď¸âŁ Do not blindly trust Copy Trading; the real numbers are devastating. 3ď¸âŁ If you cannot or do not want to learn to trade, it is better to invest in solid assets and forget about leveraged trading.

The constant doubt of the investor: Buy or wait? đ¤ The average investor often faces a constant dilemma. When the price of an asset drops, many think it has 'fallen too much' and fear it may keep falling, avoiding getting in due to the fear of not being at the true bottom. But when the price starts to rise, the mentality changes: now they expect a correction to 'buy cheaper', doubting whether this rise is genuine or just a market trap. This indecision can be paralyzing and lead to missed opportunities both in downturns and upturns. The reality is that no one can predict the exact movement of the market. What can be done is to take a responsible stance: conduct a grounded analysis, know the asset in which one invests, and have a clear strategy, whether short, medium, or long term. Investing is taking the risk that, at any moment, the price may rise or fall. The key is to have conviction in the investment and in the time horizon, trusting the analysis and avoiding letting fear and doubt be the factors that determine our decisions. Note: This is just a general comment on the psychology of the investor. Each investment decision should be based on thorough analysis and appropriate risk management.
If you're afraid to buy when the price is high and then it drops, or you doubt the best time to enter, divide your purchase into parts. $ For example, if the price is at 13 and you want to buy but are afraid it will drop:
1. Place an order at 13.
2. Another order at 12.
3. And one more at 11.
This way, if the price drops, you'll get a lower average price and won't stress out about having bought everything at the same level. This will help you manage anxiety and emotions better while trading. The key is to have a clear plan before entering! $SUSHI
Stop Seeing Your Stop-Losses as Losses: Observe What Really Happens Afterwards đĄ It's easy to get frustrated when a stop-loss is triggered, but have you ever stopped to observe what happens next? đ¤ The truth is that stop-losses are not simply losses; they are key liquidity points that the market needs to move. Ask yourself the following: Did the price move towards my target after my stop was executed? đŻ Why did the market go against me just before moving in the direction I expected? đ The answer lies in liquidity taking. The market is always seeking liquidity points, which are precisely the stops of traders. This is not something personal against you; itâs simply how the market works to move the price efficiently. Understand the process: 1. Stops are market targets đŻ: Before moving significantly in one direction, the market needs to "take" the available liquidity. This translates into triggering the stop-losses that are at key levels. 2. Itâs not personal đ¤ˇââď¸: When your stop-loss is triggered, itâs not because the market is against you. Itâs because that level represented a necessary source of liquidity for the price to move towards its next target. 3. Observe what happens next đ: Instead of seeing a stop-loss as a definitive loss, observe how the market behaves afterwards. Many times, this movement is indicative that the market is ready to head towards your original target. Change your perspective đ§ : Instead of getting frustrated, use each stop-loss as a lesson and an opportunity to better understand market dynamics. Understanding that the market is taking liquidity will allow you to better plan your entries and exits, and improve your performance in the long run. Remember, the market is not against you. Itâs fulfilling its function of taking the necessary liquidity to move. If you can anticipate this process, you will be one step closer to trading with a clear mind and a fine-tuned strategy.
â ď¸ How to Avoid Burning Your Account Before Learning to Trade
đ 1. Don't trade just because you "think" something is going to happen
The market doesn't move on intuition or hunches. Before entering a trade, ask yourself: â Is there a clear reason for the price to go up or down? â Has the price reacted in this area before? â Am I seeing a signal indicating a possible turn in the market?
If you don't have clear answers, don't enter. Waiting for a good opportunity is better than entering on impulse.
đ 2. Look for reversal signals before entering
Don't buy at the top or sell at the bottom just because the price has gone up or down a lot. The market leaves clues before it turns. đ How to identify them? âď¸ Candles with strong rejection at an important level. âď¸ A quick movement in one direction that then reverses. âď¸ The price touching an area where it has changed direction before.
If you see these signals, it could be an opportunity. But if you enter without confirmation, you might be chasing the price at the worst moment.
đŻ 3. Decide how much you are willing to lose
Before thinking about how much you will gain, define how much you can lose without it affecting you. đ° Basic rules: âď¸ Don't risk more than 1-2% of your account on a single trade. âď¸ Use a stop loss to protect yourself if the market moves against you. âď¸ If you feel pain losing that amount, it's because you risked too much.
đ 4. Don't seek to gain little by risking a lot
Many beginners do the opposite: they risk 100 to gain 10. This way, they only need a few losses to destroy their account. đ The key is balance: âď¸ If you risk 10, try to gain at least 20 or 30. âď¸ Not all trades will be winners, but if your gains exceed your losses, you'll stay afloat.
đ Don't rush, protect your capital
Trading is not about winning fast, but about learning without losing everything in the process.
Trading is not just a matter of guts, but of mind. Here are the keys to survive and thrive in the markets:
đ´ Guts to... â Withstand pressure: The market is ruthless; only those who manage their emotions survive. â Execute without fear: If your analysis is solid, enter without hesitation. Fear is the trader's worst enemy. â Accept losses: Not every trade will be a winner. Knowing how to lose is part of the game. â Be consistent: It's not about a lucky break, but about replicating a profitable process.
đ§ Mind to... â Manage risk: Protecting your capital is more important than winning quickly. â Follow a plan: Don't trade on emotions, but with a clear plan. â Avoid overtrading: Sometimes, the best trade is to do nothing. â Understand market psychology: Knowing where retail traders are trapped and how Smart Money acts is key.
đĽ Trading is not for everyone. If you think you can face the markets, prepare yourself, sharpen your strategy, and trade with your mind, not just with guts. đŞđ°
đ The crypto market is falling, but it's not the end of the world. Those of us who have been in this space for a while know that this is part of the cycle. The key is strategy and patience.
đš Don't sell in panic: If you don't need liquidity, selling in the red only crystallizes losses. đš The market always has cycles: Those who held on in previous bear markets (2018, 2020, 2022) later saw great opportunities. đš Guaranteed liquidity: It's always a good idea to have reserves in fiat or stablecoins (I converted to dollars to be calm).
đ Strategy for this market: â Keep your crypto if you believe in the long term. â Put into Earn what you can to generate passive income. â Observe and buy when the market shows signs of stability. â Don't be carried away by fear: Real money is made by buying in the red and selling in the green.
đ What will you do? Do you hold, sell or buy more? đŹđ
the only way to make money is for the coins to move, if you buy when it drops or sell when it rises, do not blame the coin or the manipulation, try to learn from it đť

why only focus on 1 coin in future???
well maybe many people think of putting some small margins in several different coins to get more profit, but think again if you experience a loss of course it also affects your mental health in trading.
then why don't you think simply focus on 1 coin that has been around for a long time and not be tempted by newly launched coins that are still very volatile and risky to analyze.
here are the reasons I only focus on 1 coin 1. I can really understand where the support and resistance are. 2. more focused and wise in taking action, whether it's closing, opening a trade, or averaging (adding margin). 3. mentally more stable if a loss occurs, not burdened with the red color that is abundant in each position. 4. the profits and losses are almost the same as opening positions in several different coins because I place the same margin if I open several coins.
well it all comes back to each of you, of course you know the risks of trading in the future market using leverage. be a trader who is responsible for yourself.
