📚 Inducement: What Is It ⁉️Inducement is a trap before an area of supply or demand. Price will usually lure impatient buyers/sellers into the market before the zone is met to create liquidity. Once the impatient traders get trap [ped and stopped out, the true move begins. This just goes to show the importance of sitting on your hands! Traders, if you have your own opinion about this idea, write in the comments section, I always reply. 💬 🚨 RISK DISCLAIMER: Trading Crypto, Futures, Forex, CFDs, and Stocks involves a risk of loss. Please consider carefully if such trading is appropriate for you. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Always limit your leverage and use a tight stop loss. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please like, subscribe, and share this idea with others! ⬇️ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Conservative vs Aggressive Entries - Different ways to enter!There are different ways to enter trades - some opt for an aggressive approach while others opt for a conservative entry. Aggressive entries are taken at the first signs of reversal out of a supply/demand zone while conservative entries wait for more significant larger structure breaks in the trend. I almost always opt for the conservative take as I want structure to be with me all the way. By getting in with an aggressive entry you can achieve higher risk reward but you will also inevitably run into more losses because you are relying on the short term trend to confirm your higher timeframe intensions. It comes down to your risk tolerance: Conservative entries require patience and sometimes when they don't give an entry you'll need discipline to avoid getting burned - but they are the wiser option for risk averse traders. Aggressive trades will get you in on nearly every move you have planned but they'll also get you took out a fair amount more than conservative entries. How much pain can you take? I recommend choosing an approach and sticking to it - being a master of one approach is better than a novice at many!

How to win your continuations and avoid bad tradesHi, Those who follow me know that I only trade with pure price action and volume . If you are someone who also hates the subjectivity of indicators then you'd find this interesting. This is what I look for before taking continuation trades, keep in mind that what's important when you trade like that is the concept of weak high/lows and strong highs/lows. When you find those points all you have to do is trade with the trend then find the last point of supply/demand and take your entry. Hope this helps.

Part 3 - How to identify Trend Reversal | Trading PlanOnce you have successfully identified previous Price action with Market Structure and SMCs you can now look for potential Entries with the highest possible rewards. For Bearish Trend: Fib is drawn from Swing high to Swing low For Bullish Trend: Fib is drawn from Swing low to Swing high. It's always important to go with the trend and to avoid trading when market is under consolidation. When making entries, always focus on The main market structure and LTF Market flow. When recent Swing high and swing lows are broken Market flow can be shifted. And you can have a bullish market flow within a bearish market structure. Always trading in corrdination of both. It's important to understand when to enter the market and its even more important to understand when to exit the market. You can use LTF key levels such as demand and supply zones as your target levels, or else you can also use fib levels as well. Confluence is always the key. If you have any doubts and further questions, leave a comment below and i will address them.

Educational ContentIn this example, we can see that this is a typical trend continuation move. 1. Bullish impulse leg, followed by a "Consolidation before breakout". 2. For those who trade with SMC = Smart Money Concept, you will identify the breakout zone as an ORDER BLOCK . 3. Prices made a Swing High, followed by a "FALLING WEDGE" pattern, forming liquidity beneath the minor swing lows while approaching the ORDER BLOCK . 4. 1st Buy Entry would be at "OB1 - PRIMARY ZONE". 5. 2nd Buy Entry would be a classic "Breakout Retest" retail trading technique. This is how you combine Retail Logic with Smart Money Concept.
