Broken Swing Points

Wanted to briefly cover instances when I see traders get trapped within different variations as price consolidates and breaks down and how to potentially avoid.

Small write up to cover:

- Broken Swing Points
- Potential Entries
- Conclusion
Broken swing points vs SFP's

We know the standard SFP-
Price sweeps a level and reverts to the opposing side.

What If we fail to sweep but close below an SFP?
This is when breakout traders come in and are trapped hence the manipulation cycle.

Notes on the Diagram Chart:
Potential Entries:

PO3's play a vital role when price breaks a key swing point. As long as we leave an opposing high any close below is a high probability we trap first and then go for the high second

Breakers offer good entry points for a broken low once we shift above
Conclusion:

Acting out of impulse anticipating certain movements will only leave you tied into a position that you didn't have a gameplan for.

Ask yourself why we are breaking down, if we left any opposing ends that might potentially trap retail traders.

Use logic.

Degen Account Update:

Started the account out with an L risking 20% and cutting it for -5% acc hit.

Currently long on ETH off the daily open and looking for the LTF FVG Fill.

As mentioned; high risk.

Will log the trades once they close and update.

LFG! ImageImageImage
Degen Account Update:

Not much to update been sitting on my hands the last week. Volatility is absolute 🗑️

3 trades so far: 2 L's/ 1W but up 42% on the account.
Got stopped on a BTC long but was low conviction so cut the risk in half.

This is how Alts have played out the last few weeks to my perspective and currently.

1. Initial drive up (get people bullish)
2. Sell off into HTF Demand (Sentiment flips bearish)
3. Price gets back above with trapped funds in lock.

Examples attached.
2/4

When you see price move up early in the week and sentiment favoring a certain side its good to zoom out and mark out your untested HTF Demands as we might be engineering liquidity.

Range strategy

Quick write up on a commonly used setup I tend to look for when price ranges.

Criteria is as such:

- Range Forms
- Price sweep/deviation of range point
- MSB (Market structure break)
- Test of formed SD
- TP

Enjoy!
Range forms

Price outlines two swing points in the market.

Price sweep/deviation

Following the identified swing points- price proceeds to sweep/deviate before closing back inside range
MSB

Following the price sweep/deviation; price breaks structure and shifts a new low.

Test of formed SD

Formed supply following sweep + MSB

Here is a write up on trapping market participants to my understanding:

Using current price action as an example:

1. Accumulation:Postions Build up
2. Distribution into breakout traders.
3. Re Distribtion into liquidity pockets

Enjoy!

#btc
1. Accumulation:Postions Build up

Postions build up, market participants chopped within a short term accumulation.

Notes on the chart:
2. Distribution into breakout traders

Breakout traders expecting another leg up are lured into filling the remaining shorts Market Makers might have. Market participants provide liquidity to the market.

The only way to better your edge is by going into previous PA and having a level of understanding towards it

Dissected this previous PA and some stuff I observed:

Hope it helps

1. Relevant Swing Points
2. Market Structure Break
3. Formed Supply:TP
4. Conclusion
1. Relevant Swing Points

Price trends down with local sweeps at each stop. In blue we form a set of equal highs without a local sweep. (MSB below was a formed breaker)

Price comes back to equal highs and engineers liquidity/price sweep prior to breaking down

Notes on chart
2. Market Structure Break

H1:

Price trends up and we have a price range with a swing high that forms into equal highs

We no longer need to run the range high considering that swing formed was a run of the equal highs

Range low fails to hold and we have MSB

Stop Loss vs Hard Stops

Wanted to go over a key topic I find important and that’s knowing when to cut your loses early on a systematic approach

Hard stops are in place to limit your loses and resolute around key levels

1.Long Example
2.Short Example
3.Conclusion Image
1. Long Example

When looking for longs it’s crucial to find formed demand levels/breakers above your key levels. Stop loss placements are around previous formed swing points.

Closes below key levels are signs of weakness and make for a manual exit.

Notes on the chart ImageImageImage
3. Short Example

For shorts you want your key levels above your formed supply/resistance levels. Stop loss placements above previous swing points.
