My secret trick on how to choose the perfect IFVG to enter from! ❗️

One of the best and most time-put educational pieces I have made!
Must-read thread!
👇

1/X First of all, what differentiates between a good IFVG and a bad IFVG is only, and will always be, liquidity.

If there isn’t a good liquidity target to aim for, the IFVG will never work.

If you are trading against the liquidity magnet, the IFVG won’t work.

That’s probably obvious for those who have been trading for more than a couple of months. But what’s the secret I’m talking about? Go to the next tweet.

2/X

The secret I am talking about is waiting for the masses to trigger positions against you.

How do we check this? You'd need to wait fo the thread end.

Firstly we need to understand 2 things. Bias and Range.
1. Range:

In a leg, you have 2 stages.

Foundation leg – price builds up a range for you to play in.

Retracement leg – the leg you want to trade.

Now, based on your current magnet, you decide whether you want to short the retracement leg toward the downside or long it toward the high of the range.

Dont Worry. You will grab the secret by the thread end !

Educational Thread - How to Build a Position HTF to LTF: The Complete 4-Step Breakdown ❗️

This is one of the most critical tools if you want to truly master the charts.
Skip this, and you’re just blindly guessing.

Read carefully, the full breakdown is below 👇

Like & RT for more educational posts 💚

Step 1. Higher Time Frames.

The First thing you should once approaching the chart is to identify your HTF Liquidity Points.

How to find these points? Simple. Think Like Retail.

Mark the position you think they will take and highlight their SL as your Liquidity Target.

Like in the example. Price currently is in a Bearish Market Structure and we have a Major Resistance = Retail are selling and placing their SL at the High of the Range.

Meaning we have a strong BSL at the High of the range.

(We have also taken the HTF SSL (Cant show in the Picture) : We need to go towards the HTF BSL)

This BSL is our Target for the whole trading day = Bias Upwards.

Step 2. Higher Time Frames.

Now after we have our bias for the day we want to find a Good POI to long towards our BSL Target.

So that's the time to look for you entry model wether its an OB,FVG, IFVG or Etc.

In this case I want to see price return towards the FVG as my POI.

So I expect price to return to my FVG and Expand from there towards the BSL.

NOW. DO I SHORT TOWARDS THE FVG?? NO!

I only use it as a POI. Price doesnt hit it ? No problem no trade for the day.

Educational Post - Market Structure with Liquidity 👏

One of the most misunderstood concepts out there.

It’s not just a simple trend.
It’s much more than that.

Full Thread! 👇

1/x. Real Market Structure Combined With Advanced Liquidity.

One of the most crucial aspects of the Advanced Liquidity Concepts is learning how to read Market Structure properly.

From now on, MS will be the short term for Market Structure.

MS is one of the two most common retail trading patterns: MS and SNR levels. In this post, we will focus on MS.

What is MS?
MS is a very popular pattern among retail traders, the first thing you encounter when starting to trade, which makes it widely recognized.

2/x. We have two types of MS:

Bullish MS

Price moves upward by creating a higher high, which then turns into a lower high, followed by a safe higher low each time (the drawing will help you understand).

Price forms a high, then a low. The low that establishes the move breaking the high becomes the MS Low, until the pattern repeats and the new low becomes the MS Low.

In bullish MS, the MS Low is never purged and always forms a higher one. Meanwhile, the high must be taken out each time to continue the MS.

How to Find Liquidity Points Using Retail Greed.

Full educational thread.
One of my best educational pieces!

👇

In order to understand what greed is and how to measure it, we first need to take a range and mark a Fibonacci from the swing low to the swing high, or the opposite.

This range tells us something important.

Above the 0.5 level, retail traders are getting positions with a higher R:R if they set their stop loss at the swing high, and the opposite applies for the swing low.

Above 0.5 = Premium
Below 0.5 = Discount

Retail prefers buying at a discount and selling at a premium because it gives them a position with an R:R above 1:1.

That’s retail greed, they don’t want to risk more than they earn, like most humans.

Conclusion:
When price consolidates and stays in discount, retail traders aren’t interested in selling, so there are no stop losses above, no liquidity.

When price consolidates in premium, retail enters shorts with stops at the range high, creating buy-side liquidity (BSL) above.

Retail Greed Activated Example :

Price goes towards the Premium area of the range, giving retail a good short position to take = creating BSL at the high.

After Creating BSL, Price should go and attack it.

(DONT PATTERNIZE THIS!!! This is just to showcase what's greed is)

Most traders see market structure as direction.
Smart traders see liquidity.

Structure shows where stops are, how price expands, and how smart money hunts emotions.

Welcome to Advanced Liquidity & Market Structure. 🧠👇

2/9
Retail trades S&R and simple structure.

To reverse-engineer them:
• Spot their sentiment (bullish or bearish)
• Find their entries
• Locate their stop-loss zones

Those stops = liquidity targets

3/9

🔹 Bullish Structure:
Price makes higher highs + protects previous lows (safe lows).
Retail bias → buy continuation.

🔹 Bearish Structure:
Price makes lower lows + protects highs (safe highs).
Retail bias → sell continuation.

First move, expansion toward the BSL.

Price showed a bearish market structure on HTF, along with a significant resistance area and a nearby swing low for retail to place their SL, forming the BSL.

Why did the price move toward the BSL and not the SSL?

Because there was no SSL yet.
The SSL forms once retail starts buying, but at that point, all retail signals were pointing short, bearish MS, resistance, and a high RR setup since the swing high was close.

2nd move.

After taking the BSL, we have shifted the MS to bullish.
Retail are seeking buys, but they don’t have a good position to enter yet, so they wait for price to return to their POI.

Perfect POI: Resistance + MS retracement to discount, providing them the perfect trade.
If price drops to it, we are creating a strong SSL at the low.
