Why Most Traders Fail: Liquidity Manipulation and Psychological Weakness

WHY MOST TRADERS FAIL IN TRADING?

Aaaah, big question above all under there covered 

Best answer master these two things ;NEVER REGRET

 Liquidity and psychology.

In ICT liquidity could be defined just as all money above in the market [in form of stop loss or positions placed ]


Qn]. how to know where market likely to draw in market 

market movers depend on liquidity sitting up or below ,either on equal high or lows.

  liquidity means mainly attraction of money .liquidity simply areas in premium or discount prices.
















places where could find high probability of liquidity market likely could target ?

1. Equal highs and equal lows /support and resistance 

2. previous monthly highs and lows

3. previous weekly highs and lows.

4. previous Daily lows and highs

5. Previous kill zone highs and lows 

6. FVG /same as imbalance areas

7.PD Arrays [serious of institutions reference points ]in premium and discount

TYPES OF LIQUIDITY 

Have two types of liquidity. 

1. internal 

2. external 


1. internal liquidity basically found in PD -Arrays eg FVG,OB, Mitigation block (MB),Breaker blocks (MB) volume imbalances mean gaps /liquidity voids .


2. externals liquidity founds in old highs and lows ,below lows and above highs 


qn] .when you wake up in morning and what so you what see or look for in chart ?. answer it in one minutes 

    there two things need first look out .

   1. Balance inefficiencies eg FVG, Imbalance, liquidity voids market has printed .

   2. Targets liquidity (old highs and lows)

in other words you look for liquidity in structure market has printed .


market always finish first internal liquidity and then goes back to external liquidity above or lows depending on trend .

illustration. 


sometimes market can manipulate you thought Predicting that has finished internal yet not yet to finish this comes when certain point in internal liquidity areas are not yet been filled up ..




Notes tips .

 1. Once you market pointing out liquidity areas you will make it and start improving your trades .because you will be have reduced taking losing trading, since you able to detect inducement in market but on other side if fail to sharpen you eye to see liquidity then your positions will be liquidity thus more losses to occur. 


2. Trading doesn't depend on just being right more than 50% of the time .Success depend on control and cutting the losses quickly and lettering your profit trades run in their right direction .


3.   in this occasion mean respect the power of risk management in each trade ,gain more losses less strategy on risk management .The best risk to reward ratio could recommended 1:3 minimum because once you loss, risked 1% to gain 3%. ,then next time gain add 3% meaning last time lost 1%, this time now its 5%assuming you had 3%account ,[2%+3%gain]=5% .there you improving and growing .



last tips on psychology involves of stages 

here .here let's discuss and why you should need mentor.

me only 50$. for one to one class for monthly mentorship and learning .

Additional Points on Liquidity:


1. Buy-side and Sell-side liquidity:

Buy-side liquidity sits above old highs. (Trapped short-sellers' stop losses).

Sell-side liquidity sits below old lows. (Trapped long traders' stop losses).

This helps sharpen your focus when deciding which side the market might reach for.



2. Liquidity Pools as Fuel:

        Think of liquidity as fuel for big moves. Smart Money (Institutions) needs liquidity to enter large positions — they "engineer" moves toward liquidity pools, grab it, and then drive price into their intended direction.

3. Inducement before Run:

        Before taking external liquidity, market often induces traders by creating short-term fake support or resistance, making them enter early — then boom, takes their liquidity.



4. Liquidity and Time of Day:

Liquidity hunts are timed, mainly during:

London Killzone

New York Killzone.




Psychology - Bonus Tip you could add:


"Trade what you see, not what you think."

Sometimes we are attached to a bias. But liquidity tells the real story.

Stay flexible: if market shows liquidity sweep against your bias, adapt fast.
