Beware of This Trap in Larger Timeframes

[00:03] that very few people talk about, but after I learned it, it made all the difference in how I trade. And that's exactly what I want to talk about in today's video. So get ready, grab your

[00:17] notebook and pen, and let's get to the content. Welcome to another great video on this channel. My name is Ana, I'm a trader, and today we're going to talk about something that, for me, was like a game-changer or maybe even

[00:33] a turning point that allowed me to improve my analyses and, consequently, be much more accurate. But first, answer me one thing. Have you ever noticed that most of the time when you

[00:47] place an order in a very obvious high or low region, the market tends to trigger your stop loss before continuing the movement you expected? Yes, believe it or not, this is no coincidence, but what we

[01:01] call institutional liquidity capture . And in this video, I want to show you and teach you how this dynamic works in monthly, weekly, or even daily charts so that you, by pairing them, stop becoming

[01:16] shark food and start profiting along with these movements. But of course, first of all, if you're not already subscribed to the channel, please subscribe and leave a Also, leave a comment about what you think of my

[01:31] videos, if they're adding value to your life, if they're helping you in any way. Always leave your comment here. Oh, and also my Instagram @akeuan Tavares. We now have something new: our Bora Pro Game community, where I've been posting

[01:44] exclusive content for members, and best of all, it's 100% free! So head over to my Instagram bio and join the community; I'd love to see you there. Okay, let's get to today's content. As I've explained in

[02:00] As I've explained in previous videos on this channel, liquidity is the bait used by institutions to capture retail stop-loss orders. Also, leave a link in the description so you can watch the full video about

[02:16] liquidity, and also check out this must-see video in the card. And what do you need to understand? These regions where we have highs or lows, whether on a daily, weekly, or monthly chart, which

[02:32] people often interpret as excellent entry points, are also real traps. Why? Since large retailers are usually positioned there, they will execute an order when the price reaches those

[02:48] regions, which ends up making those regions perfect zones as well. so that the compound man can capture these stops and generate the necessary liquidity, that is, the necessary counterparty that he needs to make his real move. Ana,

[03:05] but that's still not clear to me. Let's go to the graph, it will be even easier. Come with me. I'm here with my TradingView open, which is the platform I use to analyze charts, and logged in with the broker I

[03:18] use to trade in the Forex market, which is Vantags. Remember that since Trade View is only an analysis platform, to trade directly through it, you need an account with a brokerage that allows you to

[03:33] do so. And Vantage is the brokerage I use and recommend to you. I've tested many brokers in the Forex market and, honestly, Vantage was the one I liked the most, not only for the benefits it offers, but

[03:47] mainly for its security. Guys, Vantag, just so you know, has all the main international financial regulations, in addition to having more than 15 years in the market, meaning it's a solid, secure, and super

[04:02] reliable brokerage. Beauty? Okay, to start this lesson, I want you to write down a phrase that will be the cornerstone of today's knowledge, which is the following: today's knowledge, which is the following: write it down. Regions of lows or highs on the

[04:17] write it down. Regions of lows or highs on the daily, weekly, or monthly chart are what we call liquidity pools, that is, perfect traps liquidity pools, that is, perfect traps for the large compound man to capture

[04:32] the stops of the mass that is positioned there. Come with me. I have an there. Come with me. I have an open Forex pair here, which is SDJPY. And notice that the asset, guys, it's close to a high point, OK?

[04:46] This maximum zone, which can be interpreted by true " sardines" (new investors), as a good entry point to execute a sell operation, for example, is a liquidity pool region. Why? As you

[05:02] already know, that's an area where beginner traders, right? The vast majority of people are literally looking at it and thinking it's a good entry point. But after this lesson, you'll know that

[05:17] this can be a trap that can catch you. In other words, what are you going to do in practice? Let's do this in chronological order, right, in hierarchical order. Here, the first thing you're going to do is, when you

[05:30] identify that the price is in this region and you're thinking about executing an order, you're going to first look at the daily chart to identify daily chart to identify where it's located, whether it's the high or the

[05:43] low of the previous day. If you want to go short, obviously the market will be close to the previous day's high. So, first step, okay? You're going to take your horizontal line here, this tool

[05:56] that will help you gain more clarity on this, and you're going to mark the on this, and you're going to mark the horizontal line at the high of the previous day. If the market is near a resistance area, you will set your price at the

[06:08] you can also mark the low point, because you know that on the day you're trading, the market tends to, you know, fluctuate between those levels. So, I, Ana, like doing this, okay? I also take a horizontal line and mark the

[06:22] high and low of the previous day. Perfect. I already know that these regions here are regions with a lot of liquidity, meaning that often, since people will be positioned there to go long, these are regions where the

[06:37] institution, you know, its injection, will come in heavily to capture the stop-loss orders from these people. So, in practice, what should my behavior be when executing my operation? What I'm going to teach you now, everyone, is a

[06:53] if you execute and follow what I 'm telling you, will improve your analysis. So, there's no way around it, okay? So, every day when you go to trade, teach you. Beauty? I'm over there trading, I marked the high and low from the previous day.

[07:08] Precum is close to a region of resistance. I'm interested; it's a region of interest for me to enter a short position, but what should my smart strategy be to stop operating like a beginner trader and

[07:20] start operating like a professional? Let's go. I played here again for a medium time frame, which is the one-hour time frame. And look how interesting, folks, you'll notice that this region where the price is close is a

[07:33] region where I have relatively level tops, which is also a pattern, actually, that I explained in the lesson on perfect liquidity, where we have a lot of liquidity at those points, okay? Okay

[07:48] , so I've identified that maxim from the previous day; my execution will always be at the minimum. So, remembering the question from my analysis, right? I will always first identify what the macroeconomic trend is.

[08:04] previous classes. I need to identify the macroeconomic trend, and only after the market aligns its flow on the micro level can I execute my order, okay?

[08:16] macro trend is for this asset. For example, I wrote this for the diary. Let me set it to automatic here so it can adapt the screen. And look how interesting, I have a clearly bearish macro here , meaning the market bias

[08:29] here is bearish, it's close to a resistance area, and I'm going to consider I want to sell. Beauty? What do I do? I'm playing for a micro timeframe, which is where my execution will take place. From there, you

[08:42] can choose whichever microcontroller you want, whether it's M1, M5, or M15. And there in the micro-market, if I observe that it hasn't yet captured the liquidity from the previous day, instead of,

[08:55] for example, imagine you want to make a sale here, okay, in this region of, I don't know a sale here, okay, in this region of, I don't know , 61 or 78 Fibonacci levels, alright? So you came, so you're waiting, and then the market did this, look. He came to

[09:09] your region 78, but you saw that the liquidity from the previous day hasn't been captured yet. Your behavior isn't to start selling here at this point, because since this region is a trap region, a pool of liquidity, you first

[09:24] need to wait for that liquidity to be captured. And this capture happens precisely when the market breaks through this liquidity zone. So let me put it here with a nicer drawing. So first I wait for

[09:38] nicer drawing. So first I wait for this liquidity to be captured, that is, for the breakout of this region to happen, and only then, when the market realigns the micro flow with the macro flow.

[09:53] In other words, the microeconomics must also be down, since the macroeconomics is down, and only after that, when the market returns to the region of interest,

[10:06] that is, seeks to retest that zone, should I execute my order in favor of the actual movement. And this, my friends, is very powerful. Why? When the market captures liquidity

[10:21] market captures liquidity from a macro timeframe, be it daily, weekly, or monthly, and it returns to within that zone, what is it telling me? That region is a very strong region. So, let me

[10:36] erase this fiber here to make it even clearer that, seriously, after this lesson, results, you have to come back here and watch it again at least three times, because there's no other way. My operational approach changed after I learned this. Beauty?

[10:50] So, let's understand this in detail, okay? The liquidity will be captured in the journal, okay? It made a micro-high here, you wait for it to return to the

[11:03] micro-bearish flow and when it retests the supply region, the region of interest, aligning with the macro timeframe, then aligning with the macro timeframe, then you tend to ride a big and glorious

[11:19] downward movement. Why? Because its entry is now completely contextualized. You waited for the liquidity capture to happen, most of the people who were impatient, right, entered too early

[11:34] , traded like amateurs, got caught, had their hard-earned money taken away, had their stop loss triggered. And the people who are going to operate professionally, who really want to be consistent and profitable in the long

[11:48] term, will be here, laughing all the way to the bank and tend to ride a big wave in their favor. Because the market has returned to a very strong region. Do you understand this? So, smash that like button, comment, because this

[12:05] is content that will reach millions, okay, folks? Beauty? Now, how else can I use this knowledge to my advantage? Ana, let's go . The second way you can use this knowledge of liquidity

[12:20] in larger teams to your advantage is as follows. So, imagine I'm here in micro timeframe. Imagine that the market here, look, it has already aligned the flow at the micro level. Notice how it has already broken the last valid low

[12:35] of the bullish micro-trend and now it's forming a sort of bearish micro-trend here. Do you agree? So, what would a lot of amateurs do ? I would identify a region with high supply and then proceed to execute the order. So, let's go, okay?

[12:49] The people who, for example, would execute an order here, for example, at 61, at 78, it doesn't matter if it's a block order, if it's a Fibonacci retracement, if it's a region, it doesn't matter what their entry trigger is, okay? The

[13:03] people who would be, who would enter, for example, a store here on 78th Street, what are they going to do, what are they likely to do? She tends to place her stop loss here at the high. Do you agree with me? Listen, folks, 95-98%

[13:17] of people operate like this, and that's why 98% of people lose money. area of ​​interest and placed their stop-loss orders at the high, what's going to happen? Since the liquidity hasn't been

[13:30] happen? Since the liquidity hasn't been captured yet, the compound man will come here without mercy, capture the stop loss of these people, and then make his real move. Beauty? So, how could I, Ana,

[13:45] move. Beauty? So, how could I, Ana, avoid an unnecessary stop in this scenario? Very simple. In addition to waiting for liquidity capture to occur before retesting that region and aligning flows in the

[13:58] micro-level, okay? You're already writing all this down , I hope. Beauty? What's going to happen? Instead of placing your stop loss at the previous day's low, as most mere mortals would do, right?

[14:14] You'll wait for all of this to happen— capture, flow alignment, and everything else—and then you'll place your stop-loss order. Let me grab an arrow here and then position your stop loss. So, for example, it would stay up here because

[14:27] that way you first have to wait and see how far the capture goes, right? right? Because sometimes it goes really high. So imagine she came all the way here, okay? The flow was aligned, you entered the operation here, your order was

[14:40] stop, oh, can be more or less up here , because now that all this has This can happen, of course, in the market it's totally improbable, but your operation becomes much safer. Why? In addition to waiting for all this

[14:57] alignment and analysis security, you're also not in a classic stop-loss region where people are captured. So you always place captured. So you always place your stop after that capture. In this

[15:10] way, its operation becomes much safer and much more effective. Now for the best part, the cherry on top to wrap up this lesson. Imagine that you, let me erase these amazing drawings I made, but

[15:25] no. Imagine that you executed your sell order there. Beauty? You're doing great here. Okay, let me make it smaller here, I'll set it to H1 so you can see it better. Imagine that you guys over there, right,

[15:40] carried out the order here. Imagine that the capture happened, okay? You executed the order here in the retest and you're here, wonderful, laughing freely, riding this downward trend. The

[15:57] cherry on top. If you already know that the low or high regions of these larger teams are pools of liquidity. If, for example, you're short here and you identify that below your point there's another area of ​​liquidity that tends to

[16:14] be captured, this is also a confluence that you can use to ride this movement. Because the market tends to capture liquidity from the previous day, the previous week, the

[16:29] previous month, it's very likely it will do the same here. So, of course, you entered and your stop loss was up here, you're not going to keep it up there.

[16:41] You're going to ride the trades at each level, reducing your stop loss, as I've taught in past videos here about trade management. If you haven't watched it yet, go back a few steps and watch the video about conducting

[16:53] trades. So, my friend, you can ride this whole movement, because you know it's a region the market tends to seek out, a region the market tends to seek out, and you can extract the maximum possible

[17:05] profit from this operation. So, seriously, did everything I taught you in today's video, in today's lesson, make sense to you? So don't forget to leave me a like, a comment, and especially

[17:20] follow me on Instagram, because I 've been posting a lot of content about the market, mindset, and much more. So don't forget,

[17:33] larger chart regions are real treasures that, if you wait for the right moment to enter, you not only avoid becoming shark food, but you also tend to ride much larger movements and profit even more in each trade. Well, if you

[17:51] like my content and have made it this far, congratulations. Keep following me because every Wednesday at 7 PM we 'll have a new video. Thank you very much. A kiss to your heart, lots of light, and until the next video. I went.
