  1. 0:00Most traders use liquidity wrong, but
  2. 0:02what if I showed you how to spot it on
  3. 0:03the 5-minute chart before the price even
  4. 0:05starts to move. This is the very same
  5. 0:07concept that I taught you on the daily
  6. 0:08time frame, but this time we're diving
  7. 0:10into the sniper zone where reversals
  8. 0:12happen fast and fake outs are
  9. 0:17fatal. Papu 84 says, "You did a video
  10. 0:21for liquidity, but it was in a higher
  11. 0:23time frame. Can you please make a video
  12. 0:24for liquidity with 1 hour entries on a
  13. 0:27lower time frame?" Absolutely, bro.
  14. 0:29Let's get into it. Today, I'm going to
  15. 0:31show you exactly how to identify lower
  16. 0:33time frame liquidity, identify all of
  17. 0:35the traps and nail the reversals with
  18. 0:38surgical entries. Everyone loves trading
  19. 0:40zones and levels, but they miss what
  20. 0:42really causes price to reverse.
  21. 0:44Liquidity hunts. Market makers push
  22. 0:47price into liquidity to fill large
  23. 0:50orders. Period. And they do it fast. So,
  24. 0:52you can capitalize on this on the 1
  25. 0:54minute and the 5-minute chart. If you
  26. 0:56can spot where retail stops are sitting,
  27. 0:58you can anticipate where the price is
  28. 1:00going, not react to it. Liquidity is
  29. 1:03areas where traders get stopped out or
  30. 1:05trapped on the 5-minute chart. It could
  31. 1:07be wicks or a swing high, equal highs,
  32. 1:10clean support levels, all magnets for
  33. 1:13price. Your job, find where the obvious
  34. 1:16trades are sitting, and do the opposite.
  35. 1:18The key is to look for clean price
  36. 1:20action that's just a little too clean.
  37. 1:23equal highs, trend lines, or zones that
  38. 1:26look perfect. That's the bait. Now, here
  39. 1:28is the step-by-step process on how to
  40. 1:31spot lower time frame liquidity pools.
  41. 1:34Number one, mark the higher time frame
  42. 1:36liquidity zones first. Start with the
  43. 1:38daily or the 4hour chart. Mark the most
  44. 1:41recent swing highs and lows and clean
  45. 1:43levels that haven't been tapped yet.
  46. 1:45This is how you would mark up the chart.
  47. 1:47you get it out to the daily time frame.
  48. 1:49Take your horizontal position tool and
  49. 1:51mark up all of the levels of support and
  50. 1:54resistance so that you can have an easy
  51. 1:56visual representation of the higher time
  52. 1:59frame support and resistance levels.
  53. 2:00Then you can identify areas that have
  54. 2:03not been tapped yet where the liquidity
  55. 2:06should be living. Drop to the 5minut or
  56. 2:08the 1 minute chart if you're feeling a
  57. 2:10little bit risky. Now zoom in. Look for
  58. 2:13price rapidly approaching a zone. You
  59. 2:16want to see volume spike, a quick tap,
  60. 2:19and a rejection. Now that we have the
  61. 2:21chart on the 5minut time frame, you are
  62. 2:23simply waiting for one of these levels
  63. 2:25to be hit and then you're looking for
  64. 2:27that rejection wick. And because you
  65. 2:30waited for that zone to get hit and
  66. 2:32looked for that rejection there, you can
  67. 2:34get into your scalping trade and get a 1
  68. 2:36to2 risk-to-reward setup. Keeping in
  69. 2:38mind that if price rejects the same area
  70. 2:40twice, it could be a full reversal
  71. 2:42double bottom with the bar not closing
  72. 2:44below the area of support and resistance
  73. 2:47that you marked up and getting another
  74. 2:48trade 1:2 risk-to-reward ratio. Number
  75. 2:51three, look for traps. Price will often
  76. 2:54wick above resistance, pause, then dump
  77. 2:58or wick below support and reverse. That
  78. 3:02is your confirmation. And this is an
  79. 3:04example of that trap. Price came down
  80. 3:06and wicked below that level of support
  81. 3:09and then reversed and again as it was
  82. 3:12coming up wicked above that level of
  83. 3:15resistance and came crashing down.
  84. 3:17Always keep an eye out for the traps.
  85. 3:19And number four, use volume or candles
  86. 3:22for entries. Look for exhaustion
  87. 3:24candles, long wicks, bearish or bullish
  88. 3:27engulfing or a volume divergence. Now,
  89. 3:30let's break this down on a real trade I
  90. 3:32took using this method. As you can see
  91. 3:34here, I've marked up the higher time
  92. 3:36frame zone on the daily time frame. So,
  93. 3:39starting at the week's open, we could
  94. 3:41see this huge gap and the price dipped
  95. 3:44below that level of support that I had
  96. 3:46already marked up on the higher time
  97. 3:48frame. And during London session, you
  98. 3:51could see the price started to come down
  99. 3:53to that support zone a little bit more.
  100. 3:56Now zooming in, you can see we had rapid
  101. 3:59price movement to that zone, an
  102. 4:01engulfing candle, which both of these
  103. 4:03candles were with wicks and then we had
  104. 4:05that rejection up. That's when I was
  105. 4:07able to enter my trade at 61408 on
  106. 4:11Australian dollar. I kept my stop loss
  107. 4:14below the current London low and all I
  108. 4:17had to do was shoot for a 1:2
  109. 4:19risk-to-reward ratio. This was using
  110. 4:21higher time frame support and resistance
  111. 4:23and being able to scalp it on the five
  112. 4:25minute time frame with anticipation of
  113. 4:27price movement upwards because of the
  114. 4:30huge gap that was left over the weekend.
  115. 4:32So, I have some bonus tips for you.
  116. 4:34Number one, avoid entering before the
  117. 4:37price taps the liquidity zone. Wait for
  118. 4:39confirmation. Number two, use session
  119. 4:42times like the London or New York open.
  120. 4:45That's when the most stop hunts happen.
  121. 4:47And number three, do not chase the
  122. 4:50breakouts. Wait for price to trap
  123. 4:52traders and fade the move. Lower time
  124. 4:55frame liquidity is one of the most
  125. 4:57powerful tools you can use in your day
  126. 4:59trading, but only if you know what to
  127. 5:01look for. So, if you have a specific
  128. 5:02question in day trading, leave it in the
  129. 5:04comment section down below. And if you

  131. 5:08you drop a like on your way out. And we
