Thread 🧵: You Weren’t Trained to Trade, You Were Trained to Be Liquidity

The worst part?

You paid to become the exit liquidity.

Let me explain 👇
(Liquidity Breakdown)
Every retail strategy you learned:
• Breakouts
• Trendlines
• Support/Resistance
• Orderblocks from YouTube videos

All built around visible logic.
Predictable logic.
Logic that institutions exploit.
Your entry is their exit.
Your stop is their target.
Your risk management is their reward system.

You were taught to enter where it’s comfortable.
But markets don’t pay comfort.
They pay pain.
Think about it:
Why does price always seem to “grab” your stop…
Then reverse?

It’s not bad luck.
It’s design.
You are participating exactly how you’re expected to.
Retail POIs are emotional landmarks:
• Structure = entry
• Support and Resistance = entry
• Swing low = stop

The market offers you these…
So you commit capital into their trap.
Advanced Liquidity flips the view:
You stop seeing POIs as opportunities.
And start seeing them as manipulation areas.

Where retail gets in?
You wait.
Let them commit.
Then strike.
It’s not about being early.
It’s about being on the right side of the trap.

You wait for retail to show their hand.
Once liquidity pools taken,
You anticipate the expansion, not the entry.
Once you learn this lens,
Every price move looks different.
Every candle becomes intentional.
And you stop being the hunted.

You become the hunter.
Ask yourself:

Have you been trained to trade like a winner,
or trained to provide the fuel for the winner?

Be honest.
Because that answer will define your future in this game.

Advanced Liquidity Logic.

Train Your Eye to See the Chart as a Manipulation Screen.

Most traders see candles.

The real ones see intentions behind each move.

Here’s how to train your eye to read charts like a Liquidity Hunter.

(THREAD) 🧵👇
First Rule:

Every candle tells a story.
But it’s never the story retail thinks.
It’s not “support” or “trendlines”…

It’s:
• Who’s trapped
• Who’s about to be trapped
• Who’s being targeted
Start there. You’ll never see charts the same again.
Train your mind like this:

The chart is not price vs. levels.

It’s Market Makers vs. Traders.

Every spike, range, and fakeout has a target.

Usually:
• Retail SLs
• Late entries
• Over-leveraged impatience
Follow the victim.

If I were starting over…
Here’s exactly what I’d do to master the markets through liquidity.

Full Thread 👇 Image

I would forget everything I ever heard about indicators, patterns, and signals.
Because they all tell you what price did.
But never why it did it.
And “why” is everything in trading.
Instead, I’d study the markets like a crime scene.
Every move…
Every wick…
Every spike…
…is just a transfer of money between players.

Who lost? Who won?
That’s the real chart.

Most traders lose for one reason:
They trade where the crowd trades.

But the crowd is the liquidity.
And the market is designed to take it.

This is the core of Advanced Liquidity.
A framework to see what others don’t. 🧵 Image
The market is a zero-sum game.
For every winner, there’s a loser.

Retail traders lose 95% of the time.
Not because they’re wrong
But because they’re predictable.

Market Makers profit by exploiting that predictability.
Here’s the truth:
Your stop-loss is not protection.
It’s liquidity.

And that’s exactly what Market Makers need.
They can’t move size unless they trigger your exit.
They hunt your stop, then take the other side.

Why Some OBs and FVGs Hold and Others Don’t.

Full Long Thread Using Liquidity 💎 Image
1. Liquidity Presence Comes First

OBs/FVGs are just PD Arrays

They only matter if they align with where real liquidity is resting.

If there’s no sweep before an OB/FVG no masses SL taken, it lacks the fuel for expansion.

No liquidity taken = no reason to reverse = OB/FVG fails.
2. Narrative + Bias

OBs/FVGs that form after the market grabs obvious retail stops have a higher probability of working.

If the HTF bias is bearish, bullish OBs are likely to fail, unless they’re part of a manipulation leg.

You need to ask:
“Does this OB/FVG support the bigger move? Or is it in the way of it?”
